The GLORIOUS Fourth" is pass
ed and with it has come to stay
the sane" idea. OF course, the
thought has not appealed to some,
but the daily reports have verified
the idea that many accidents were
due to improper and careless
handling of the explosives made
to delight and in a measure to re-
mind one of struggle in which
the life and destiny of a nation
was at stake, in which the Ameri-
can played a winning and heroic
part. But the idea became a CON-
mercial one and it is doubtful if
the younger generation could tell
Just why he was making so much
noise only that he just liked to.
Any way it will not be smirch
on the national pride of the coun-
try, that while we are celebrating
our victory we are also allowing
the day to bring horror and grief
to lot of people when some acct
dent happened that always
brought back shudder and I'm.
pleasant feeling to a lot of people
who may not have suffered any
pain themselves, but knew thai
others did.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Drainaue Of Orchards.

II is often urged AS an argument
against draining that there Is liable to

when the water removed by the drains
will he needed Now, to those who
thluk that drains diminish the supply
of moisture In times of the trees need,
let Il be said that drains only remove
the water that rravitates to them, and
moisture used by plants has no regard
for the law of gravity. but Is held by
surface tension to the soil particles
and moves In any direction by capillary
attraction. One Of the direct results
of drainage is through better aeratlOn
to make the particles smaller. thereby
increasing the soils capacity for fine
moisture. Not only has this been a
long established fact of science, but
growers themselves have found drain

other girl he used to go with
worked r." We wondered
too at the choice of the young man
but took the opportunity to talk
to the two girls mentioned. 1t is
true that one girl had better
paying position than the other.
1t is also true that the one possib-
" wears finer clothes and manages
to keep the powder on more
smoothly, but the choice OF the
young man perhaps was made I'M
consciously because he could see
in the face of one patience, kind
illness, a disposition to do for 9th
ers, to sacrifice for others, keen
sense of business from the fact
that she dressed within her means
and tended to business matters in
business like way, and did not
concern herself to very great ex-
tent about the business of other
people with whom she was not
supposed to be familiar. The
young man may never know il
but he has chosen wisely and per
haps blindly, but here is betting
that the girl complained about

for the lucky man. The Other

for improvement along some lines
and it is possible that the man il

Success In Horse Raising.

we have been quite successful in
raising horses and now have about
seventy head, including colts, writes
a Minnesota correspondent in Orange
Judd Farmer. Our mares are bred to
foal In April or early in May. After
fouling the mares are given short
rest aud then worked the same as the
other horses. Colts are never permit
ted to follow the dam while ut work.
When they are large enough the feed
box Is left open, and they help them
selves TO what grain they will eat.
The same plan is pursued during the
fall work. Colts are usually weaned
IN October and are well fed and cared
for the first two winters. They are
broken and worked when three years
of age.

TIGHTENING OF
The WAIST Line,
This Is a Style Feature Which,
Paris Has Adopted

One absolutely new style in the mar
ket today is the arrangement Of CIR
dies, sashes. belts or shaped bands
well below the nurmnl waist line, says
the Dry Goods Economist. This Is a
Paris idea. which bids fair to obtain
general adoption.
At first the idea was used only on
blouse dresses Now it appears on
smart afternoon frocks aud evening
gowns. In fact, the influence Of this
idea is evident even in the conserva'
tive street dresses showing the semi
fitted waists aud draped skirts.
The girdIe which finishes the waisl
line on these models extends about
two inches above and several inches
below the waist. The line is almost
far enough down on the hips to be
classified as skirt yoke
Evening gowns have soft sashes OF
tutle, Grape or ribbon loosely arranged
several inches below the normal waist
line in crushed girdle effect, ending
at the point Of junction at the left hip
Long ends fall nearly to the skirt edge
Mention was recently made Of the
Balkan blouse and court dresses show
ing the curveless waist and hip girdes
and belts With the ushering in Of
the spring season many Of these styles
will be seen.

DEVELOPING EARLY

Now that normal is in session it
is timely that those who expect to
be teachers and perhaps follow
the calling for a life vocation con-
slider not only deliberately but
wisely as to taking that line of
work for a livelihood. OF course,
to those who are sure that they
are peculiarly and naturally gifted
in that line there should be no
hesitancy as to taking 1t up. But
those who take it up for step
ping stone to something else not
only make it harder for themselves
but for the man or woman who
does expect to follow that profess
sion for years There is no line of
work, perhaps that takes so much
mental powers from one and gives
so little in return for the effort
put forth as in the teaching pro-
fession, because the teacher is us
ually dealing with inferior minds
and is always expected to give
information when he does not
have the same amount of mental
exertion given to him in return.
1t is always giving on the part
of the teacher and not often is he
rewarded with any thought from
his pupil that will make him
think more. IN any other line OF
business it is easier to a certain
extent, that is business dealings
with all kinds of people and with
people of somewhat the same
amount of experience naturally

What the Dream Meant,

Jacobs ladder represents the thought
of direct fellowship between Heaven
and earth. Through Jacobs Seed this
great work Of opening up relationship
between God and men would be ac-
cOmplished. The vision of God at the
further end. and His encouraging
words. were to stimulate Jacob to
faithfuness and appreciation of this
great Promise as worth much more
than 1t had cost him The dream had
its intended effect. Jacob was encOur-
aged for the remainder Of his life.
This lesson applies to Christians also.
With the fuller light of the Apostolic
teaching and the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, we understand that before Abra-

cts of the past cain bless the world,

he needed encouragement. and there

and heard His words. full Of encOur-

recognized him as the legal heir to the

ASK YOUR STATloNER.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
A yung lady friend of mine sends
me cards, etc, on which the stamp
is out of its natural position; that
is, it is falling to the left. Some
one suggested that it means bad
luck. a careless person, etc. An
other that it means love. Is there
stamp language? If so, is it
printed and for sale? WIN. G.
There is a stamp language, and while
your stationer probably has it for sale
advise you not to waste any time on 1t.
A misplaced stamp is an annoyance to
the postal clerks, and there are other
and more refined ways of telling of the
state of ones affections.
