THE POWER TO BE CALM

The mind never puts forth greater power over itself than when, in trials, it yields up calmly it's desires, affections interests to God. There seasons when to be still demands immeasurably higher strength than to act. COmpOsure often the highest result of power. Think you demands power to calm the stormy elements of passion, to moderate the vehemence of desire to throw off the load of dejectiOn, to suppress every repinng thought, when the dearest hopes withered, and to turn the wounded spirit dangerous reveries and wasting grief to the quiet discharge ordinary duties? Is there power put forth, when q miln, stripped of his property, of the fruits of a life's labors, quells dfscOntent and gloomy forebodings, and serenely and patiently returns to the tasks which Providence assigns ?-William E.

Every proposition of the report unan- mousIy adopted, but some of the members of the conference were the opinion that the proposed issue was small though the committee had made a concession the enthusiasm of the conference by a recommendation, substituting for the proposed $1 GOO 900 issue, for $1,250,8o0.

 In urging a partisan board, commission or committee The Republican had things in mind One was that of supervisors. with it's manifold regular duties could with difficulty give the time and attention which important work as a permanent good roads system deserves and must have. The other was that long before the great work could completed the personnel of the board might be entirely changed and in it's place might be one less capable and less enthusiastic in change, it is very doubtful whether would have another board, capable it might be, that would take the same deep interest the work, for it is solely due to the energy of the present board that matters have been brought to this promising stage

Each OF the four seasons OF this

imperceptibly into the glorious

An interesting chart is printed by
the Chicago Tribune showing that the
middle west is behind all other sec
tons of the country in increase Of
population.
The curious thing about it Is that
this discrepancy in the growth of pop
ulation is due to the facilities that
have been afforded for making rural
life easier.
In Indiana. Kentucky, Tennessee.
Iowa and Missouri the increase for the
decade from 1900 to 1910 was. less
than ten per cent In Minnesota, Wis
cOnsin, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Ne
braska and Kansas the increase was
from ten To twenty per cent The
other states range from thirty to fifty
per cent.
In this instance the lure OF the city
is not given as a reason. On the con-
trary the growth of population is said
10 have ben checked by the wiping
out Of rural centers and the introduce
ton OF improved farm machinery. The
rural mail service and the trolley lines
are charged with the responsibility of
the former
Hundreds OF small postoffices have
been abolished by the rural service
and farmers have no further occasion
TO visit the small trade centers built
up around the old mail service. The
stores and small industries formerly
supported by them have disappeared.
The Improvement OF farm ma
chinery. requiring less help and less
time. has reduced the number OF men
needed on "a farm. The free delivery
and the trolley line have turned the
population 10 a more common center.
The effect OF these influences il is
seen is centralizing. The corners
and the villages are being depopulated
TO increase the population of the
larger centers. and with this reen-
forcement from their own environ
ment they are not drawing from other
sources.
Population follows opportunity and
! where that is absent it does not go,
The Improvements mentioned seem to
| be changing the character OF the
country. making it more distinctly
rural and urban.

An example comes from San Fran

their further enjoyment OF political
rights or an equality with men.

that the state law made no provision
