sleeve; so far as the world knew, all was

courage. There was personal magne-
of all his friends. He was always faith
full, loyal and true.
On being asked to give a sketch of

to the man who was always influenced
by love for humanity:
THE WORLD WOULD BE THE BET

If men cared less for wealth and fame
And less for battle-fields and glory;
If, writ in human hearts, name
Seemed better than in song and story:
If men. instead of nursing pride,
Would learn to hate and to abhor it,
If more relied
On love to guide,
The world would be the better for it,
If men dealt less in stocks and lands,
And more in bonds and deeds fraternal;
If Love s work had more willing hands
- To link this world with the supernal;
III men stored up Loves oil and wine,
And on bruised human hearts would
pour it,
If yours and mine"
Would once combine,
The world would be the better for it.
If more would act the play of Life,
And fewer spoil it in rehearsal;
If bigotry would sheath it's knife,
Till good became more universal;
If custom, gray with ages grown,
Had fewer blind men to adorn it;
If Talent shone
In Truth alone,
The world would be the better for it,
If men were wise in little things
Affecting less in all their dealings;
If hearts had fewer rusted strings
To isolate their kindly feelings;
II men; when wrong beats down the
right,
Would strike together to restore it;
If right made might
In every fight,
The world would be the better for it,

EVERY CITIZEN A HOME OWNER.

These prosperous times are not
going to last forever. When the
change comes those who will suffer
the most are those who, in time
of prosperity, failed to invest in a
little home.
While it is true that some are so
unfortunately situated that they can
not save a cent of their earnings,
it is also true that the great majority
of those who own no home, have no
excuse that is valid. If they would
take the money they pay in rent,
add to it that which they spend for
unnecessary things, and make a few
sacrifices, the home would soon ma
terialize. And then when the hard
times come they have a roof over
their heads and a sense of security
and independence they could not
otherwise feel.
The reason so few own homes is
because our age has not taught us
to differentiate between the things
that are needful and the things that
are necessary. The prosperity of
others irritates us and we try to
initiate them. We forget that the
truest pleasures are inseparably con-
nected with the home, and cannot
be found in hustling crowd.
For proof of our contention that
home may be acquired by all, if
they so desire, let everyone who
reads this make survey of the COM
munity in which he lives. He will
find that there are many homes own
ed by those who were willing to
make little sacrifice, who were wise
enough to pass by temptations to
spend money that brought regret in
the end, and who were wise enough
to realize that useless expenditures
cannot be recalled.
Own your home. Make your home
the center of your interests. And
then when the troublous times come
you will not be crushed by disaster
or become the object of charity of
those who were wise and practiced
thrift.

GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT.

The governments crop report on
the growing wheat and oats, made
public last week, is not quite up to
expectations in some particulars,
but growing conditions have improv-
ed since the statistics were prepared
some ten days ago. A Winter wheat
condition of S3.5 on June 1, is the
best for that date with one excep-
ton in eight years. Although the
figure is somewhat below market
forecasts, showing a loss of 8.4 per
cent. during the month of May, it
is still 90 per cent. better than the
condition Of the same date last year.
Spring wheat condition of 93.5 coin
cides quite closely with what the
trade was expecting, and is practical
ly up to the ten-year average. A de-
crease of $4,000 acres from the
final of last year is feature of the
situation in the Northwest, showing
shrinkage in wheat areas which 9TH
er crops have probably taken up
and which may be partly balanced
by better methods of cultivation
The indicated crop of Winter wheat
of 93,000,000 bushels larger thar
the final of 1912, shows decided inn
provement over conditions prevailing

Two methods of Illuminating the OBJ

the external portions Of exceedingly

These solid particles can be placed

these have almost revolutionized mi

different kinds of waves of light, are
almost beyond comprehension.
The arabian Nights people are

BETTER THAN CAREER.

Marriage is better than a career,
President Edmund J. James, of the
University of Illinois, told about
three hundred women graduates who
have just completed four years of
training for profession,
This is good suggestion for all
June graduates who contemplate a
career after their school and col
lege work is ended. We quote from
President James as follows:
''The average man and the aver
age woman can do their, best work
for themselves and for society in a
partnership which results in a social
unit effective for social progress.
THE woman who deliberately
chooses this career when the oppor-
tunity offers itself, or when she
makes it for herself, as every wom-
an can, is choosing a highway to So
cial service which is far ahead of all
teaching or legal or medical service
she can possibly render society.
"It looks sometimes as if modern
society is giving the honors Of so.

the bachelor maid instead of to the
wife and mother. Just in proportion
as this is done will society surely
suffer by recruiting its ranks in the
long run, from the uneducated ant
