LOCK ON THE CHEERFUL SIDE
After All, What Is the Use of Letting
Worry Get the Upper Hand In the
Journey Through Life?

Did you ever cross room while you
were busy and worried and catch
sight of your face in the glass or win
dow.
Nine times out of ten your jaws are
set, your eyes are hard, and the ex-
preston of your face would discour-
age the most enthusiastic optimist in
the world.
The next time you catch yourself
looking like that, stop and ask your
self what under the shining sun are
you sulking about
Everybody has q sense Of humor, or
If they have not they should have; so
cali it into play at once and talk to
yourself, and keep on talking until
you begin to laugh at yourself and the
great big trouble that made you look
like . scowling dog. What will you
talk to yourself about?
Oh. any merry littls thing that once
occurred in your life-some pleasant
surprise, some happy day-anything
will do.
This is no foolish advice am giving
you, for seriously, there is more in
this looking cheerful than you can
dream Of 1t. is not half as feeble
minded as it sounds. Try it for few
weeks and prove it for yourself.
Don't overdo it, Of course, but let
your face express good will and cheer
and comfort, and the first thing you
know you will feel it.
You cannot entirely forget your
cares; nor would it be right to do so.
Every one has cares; they are good
for us. The real God sent cares that
test the strength OF our souis-all of
US have those, too; but let Us meet
them like real women.-Chicago
Tribune.

The Going Of Ulysses.

A Kansas City man said he always
preferred red-headed Office boys to any
other kind, as he had found them to be
unusually sagacious and alert; but he
discovered recently that some of them
are too much so. One day, returning
from a short out Of town trip, he went
to his Office and mentioned interroga-
lively that Ulysses, his promising as
sistant, was nowhere in sight, and the
stenographer replied that lie had not
shown up.
Lifting w the Last mail on his desk
he found Il note addressed to him in a
very familiar, bread, vertical hand
writing
Dear Mr. Cross" he said, please
accept my resignation to take effect
yesterday. ! go 9 better place with
less worG and mere pay. Respectively

Concerning Apple pies.

II you ask a man what sort of pie
he will take, and he hesitates a mo-
ment, he is pretty sure to blurt out
apple. That is always sure thing.
Custard, lemon, peach, blackberry,
mince, all depend; there is always
some doubt as to their manufacture
and the quality of the concomitants;
but with apple pie it Is not so. Apple
pie is itself; 1t reigns In its own right;
it suggests no doubts; 1t is always
safe. Therefore it will be gratifying
news that the apple crop this year is
bumper There will be yield Of
los 100000 bushels. That will make
about sixty pies to every man, woman
and child in the country; and this will
give an ordinary piece of pie to every
inhabitant every day in the year.
Was there ever nation so highly
favored that it could have apple pie
for every person every day? Thus
nature and enterprise kindly and
beautifully minister to the taste of all
the people.-Ohio State Journal.

thirty-six hundred, about three
thousand of wood and six hun
dred of cement. At first the
Agricultural College was alone
in its advocacy of cement silos
and it was necessary to send out
men to help build them. When
a farmer wanted silo of cement
he would write TO the College for
Specifications and date for ma
terials and then when he had ma
terials on hand man would be
sent from the Extension Depart
ment to supervise the work at
no cost other than expenses for
the trip. The farmer would be
asked to employ good cement
man in order that there would
be someone later to build other
silos in that immunity.
Thus cement silos have built
in about thirty counties of the
state and there are now about
that many contractors who are
devoting their whole time to the
building of silos. There are at
least three contractors whose
business is almost state wide,
Chiles Bros. of Bucyrus, Hopper
& Son, Manhattan, and ]. E.
Evans of Emporia, each running
several "gangs" during the seas
on. Almost thirty others do
local work. The College will
gladly assist other contractors in
getting started at this work, sup
plying literature and ample di-
rections or sending a man to
personally help start job. Two
men will be available after March
~ for this work. Last year a
score of farmers we're disappoint-
ed in getting help because they
would not get ready early, but all
wanted to wait until after har-
vest. The best time to build is
in April and May. Preference
will be given to farmers in west
ern Kansas if they will get ready
before June. The College will
this year make uniform charge
of $40 and local entertainment of
man for starting each job with
the idea of equalizing the cost for
both western and eastern men.
The College is thoroughly COM
mitted to the cement silo although
the brick or the hollow tile silo is
probably as good, ]. H. Miller,
Director of Extension Service,
says that the statement made by
many agents that silage always
spoils around the edges in ce-
ment sllos is plain lie. He is
also firm in the belief that stave

Comments on the Inaugural.

Comments on the Inaugural.
No President of the United States
in any utterance ever sounded a
higher or clearer note of aspiration
and of idealism than Woodrow Will
son in his inaugural address. 1t is
perhaps the most carefully studied,
concise and deeply moving express
ion that has yet been gwen to the
new ideas which have become a
force in our politics. The address
will make a profound impression up
on the American people and upon
the friends of progress of this repub-
lie throughout the world. The peo-
pie of this country will be inspired
by the Presidents words-inspired,
we hope, with resolve to do their
parti in accomplishing the noble pur-
poses to which he dedicates and de-
votes his administration, inspired,
too, with confidence in their new
president. New York Times.
If the promise is kept, the pledge
redeemed, the platform obeyed, the
administration now beginning with
the good will and good wishes and
reserved judgment of all of Wood
row Wilson's fellow citizens will be
in the truest sense progressive and
in the truest sense conservative, and
what more could any patriotic Amer
lean desire?-New York Sun.
The inaugural address of Wood
row Wilson, delivered yesterday up
on his taking the oath as President
of the United States, should thrill
the heart, not alone of every true
Democrat, but of every true Ameri-
can.-Lonisville Courier Journal.
The Inauguration address must
commend itself to all intelligent and
sober minded Americans as utter
ance of sincere, scholarly, thought
full and progressive man who as
sumes his exaulted position with a
rare slnglemindedness of purpose
and with every determination to
serve the people. Chicago.
