Find Yourself in Solitude.

Get away from the crowd for a
while. and think. Stand on one
side and let the world run by,
while you get acquainted with your
self and see what kind of a fellow
you are. Ask yourself hard ques-
tons about yourself. Ascertain
from original sources, if you are
really the manner of man you say
you are; and if you are always hon.
est; if you always tell the square,
perfect truth in business details; if
your life is as good and upright at
II o'clock at night as it is at noon;
if you are as good a temperance
man on fishing excursion as you
are on a Sunday school picnic; if
you are as good when you 80 to the
city as you are at home; if, in short
you are really the sort of man your
father hopes you are and your sweet
heart believes you are. Get on in
innate terms with yourself, my boy
and believe me, every time you
come out of one of those private in
terviews you will be d stronger, bet
ter, purer man. Don't forget this,
and it will do you good. Robert

Short Course For. Women.

January 6, 1913 is the date an
nounced for the opening of the
Short Course for women at the Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture. This
is one of the new courses establish
ed by the University last winter.
It's purpose is to offer to the young
women of Missouri the same
chances that are offered to the
young men through the Two Year
Winter Course, which in the past
two years has been attended by
over 900 students. The Short
Course for Women continues for
seven weeks, in which time all the
most practical and Fundamental
facts relating to the economy of the
farm home are considered. 1t is a
a fact that good management in the
home is of as great importance as
good management of the farm.
There is large field for this new
course for women and present indi-
cations suggest that many of the
most enterprising women of the
State will hasten to take advantage
of this opportunity. Full informa-
ton in regard to the course may
be obtained by writing to the Col
lege of Agriculture, Columbia, Mo.

An Apostrophe to Women.

Robert G. Ingersoll: 1T takes a
hundred men to make an encamp-
ment, but one woman can make a
home. not only admire woman
as the most beautiful creature that
was ever created, but l reverence
her as the redeeming glory of hu-
manity, the sanctuary of all the
virtues, the pledge of all perfect
qualities of heart and head. 1t is
not just nor right to lay the sins of
men at the feet Of woman. 1t is
because women are So much better
than men that tI-is faul-s re con-
sideTed greater 4 maus iesire is
the foundation = his hove, but a
woman's desire is born OF her love.
The one thing in thls wo-2 that is
constant, the one neak thal arises
above all clouds. the ore window
in which the light ever burns. the
one star that darkness cannot
quench,, is woman's love. 1t arises
to the greatest heights. it sinks to
the lowest depths, it forgives the
most injuries. 1t is perennial of
life and grows in every climate.
Neither GOODNESS nor neglect, harsh
ness nor cruelty can extinguish it.
A woman's love is the perfume of
her heart, This is the real love that
subdues the earth; the love that
has wrought all miracles; that gives
US sympathy, that bears the soul
away on wings of fire; love that
is greater than power, sweeter than
life and stronger than death"

Grass, Not Corn, is King of Farm

oSoS NOS SVAHi 10 Mig VI EdIHi
Crops.
Grass, not corn, is king among
the farm crops of the United States
and may continue to be so through
all time.
The value of the corn crop in 1910
was $1,523,9680OO. The hay crop
comes second with value of $747,-
10000; and wheat ranks third with
a value of 1921. 443,OOO. But OBJ
serve that the estimated value of
the grass crop includes only hay.
while it is no doubt true that the
pasture crop is more valuable by a
large margin than the hay crop. be-
cause of the immense areas i'll pas
ture. Add those values and the
cash value Of the grass crop will
exceed that of corn.
The full value of hay to the farm
er is not shown by its commercial
value in the natural form. While
the grasses have been growing above
the ground they have also been
storing the ground with their roots,
which along with the stubbles, when
the meadows are broken up, furnish
humus for the growing of other
crops. Llguminous plants always
leave the ground richer in nitrogen,
than they found it, and nitrogen is
the costly element of fertility.
Without the grass crop weeds
could not be kept so easily under
control, nor could the diseases that
affect grain crops be so readily
checked. In its absence live stock
could not be maintained on the
farm without undue expense, and
consequently mixed farming would
be impossible. University Missouri

Pay Your Bills Promptly.

The man who can pay his bills
and doesn't is one of the public en-
emies who are responsible for the
slow recovery of business. He
cripples industry. restraints trade
and creates a long line of debtors
who cannot pay. He is brake up
on prosperity, a drag upon human
ity.
He has been deterrent factor in
business the past years, ranking in
Oppressive effect next to the finan-
cial furry of 1907. The habit of
deferring payment, contracted anew
in 1907, has become chronic with
individuals. firms and corporations.
and has served to harass business
to an extent appreciable only to the
bankers who carry the accounts of
retailers and smaller manufac-
turers.
BY withholding payment of one
bill a procession of difficulties is
formed. A hordes his cash and
embarrasses B, who has to put off
c, and D is pressed to the wall. The
chain of evil-started by the prosper
GUS reaches down through theranks
of industry, commerce and labor
cramping enterprise, combining trade
and CALLING most of all the men at
the bottom of the business struct-
ure.
This survival of panic times has
become engrafted upon our business
system to such an extent that in
some circles the pride in being con-
sidered "prompt-pay" is now re-
garded as old-fashioned, and skill
in putting off ones obligations has
come to be reck0ned a desirable &C
QUESTION.
But the business situation today
seriously demands the CHASING of
the deliberate slow-payer with the
cheap. His reformation would free
the involuntary slow-payer from a
plight that is none of his choosing
and would make the wheels of bus
mess hum with prosperity.
You, who can. pay up. Then
those who now can't pay will be
able to do so. Money will flow
faster through the arteries of the
country's life, and all the people
will be benefited. Milan Stand
