This is the season when the last one of

slip away from the macadamized 'haunts
of mem off to some lonely spot where
we've always had the feeling that some
buried treasure lies concealed.
Apparently we are not alone in having
this April madness to fight.

paragraph to three maiden ladies who
donned walking skirts and heavy shoes

the hidden gold and claim it as their own.

A town. unlike city, is no place
to foster jealousies and nourish con-
tentiops. All should learn to know
that Whatever will conduce to the
welfare OF town cannot injure her

fall or her rise. The character of the
people make the town, not her struc-
lures, towering houses, domes and

LET THE BOYS HELP

Why is it that boys are allowed to
sit in the house doing nothing while
their over-worked mother is strug-
Cling against nature and fate to do
about half the work waiting for her
hands? Only the other day we saw
three large able-bodied boys, Longing
about the house, not knowing what to
do with themselves, while mother,
alone, tired and pale, was trying to do
the work for large family and com
pany. Not a boy to help about the
house? Why not? Is there anything
about washing dishes that will injure
him? or about making the beds or
sweeping or setting the table or wash
ing or ironing, or cookinga plain meal
OF victuals? On the contrary, there is
too much to benefit him in such work,
the most important Of which IS to
gain the idea that it is not manly to
let the weaker vessel carry all the
burdens, when it is possible for strong
hands to work. Most boys would glad
ly help in the house if they were asked
to do so, and were taught how to do
the work properly. Many smart
boy wants TO help his tired mother,
but he doesn't know how, beyond
bringing in wood and water. This
done, she tells him to go and play while
she plods YEARLY on. Not boys
work? For shame. 1t is positive
harm to his moral character to allow
him to think it is right to be idle,
while his mother is struggling under
her burdens. Let the boys help, and
those who can't get help "for love or
money" will see their troubles disap-
pear.

Losses in live weight which occur dur
ing the spring pasture season have to
be made up lator and usually at the
expense of production and the interests
of the owner.
During period of nine years il has
been noted that on the average 81 per
cent oi the COWS of the university dairy
herd decreased in body weight during
the two weeks following the time they
were turned to pasture. The amount
of shrinkage varied according to what
the cows were fed in addition to pas
ture. During two respective years
when hay and silage were not fed in
addition to pasture, a marked average
shrinkage in weight Of 81 and SO pounos

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN
COURTESY IN THE HOME.

Thesfact.. is, life would be far more
agreeable to many of us, if home DO
likeness were more assiduously cul-
tivated. We know how brutal the
frankness of home can be; how SEN
sitive natures bleed and suffer, because
of the inexcusable candor of criticism
which takes to itself license in the pri-
vacy of the family circle.
We vex our own
With look and tone,
Though we love our own the best.
How are they to know that we love
them best If we never take pains to
show it by small acts or attention, by
gentle words, by open admiration?
81 never knew that my father cared
for me at all, " said young girl, pa
thetically unaware of the sadness of
her speech, "till once when | was
very Ill and they thought | was dying,
| heard him sob behind the curtain. {"
There is far too much taking love for
granted in the Christian home.
In like manner some of us fail
to show the courtesy we ought in our
intercourse with friends and acquain-
tances. DO you tell the pastor how
much you have enjoyed his sermon or
how greatly it has helped you? If not
you are missing an opportunity of
cheering and aiding the pastor, which
he would prize and which would react
in blessing yourself. Do you always
and promptly send note of acknow-
ledgment IN re5urn for little gift, for
flowers and books and daintiness left
at your door in times of illness? Are
you careful to answer ordinary letters
within reasonable length of time,
and to write often to the dear relative
on the frontier, or in the distant city?
the one who is among strangers and
whose heart yearns unspeakably for
news from home? Are you thought
full about the feelings of little children;
and, above all, do you defer to those
older than yourself even when sure in
your mind that they are wrong and you
are right? Have care, my friend,
for these small genuine courtesies of
life.

that the abrogation of the penalty is
