CHEERING HIM UP

It's not everybody I'd put to sleep in this room," said the motherly old landlady to her lod- ger, who had come to that remote district on account of nervous breakdown, according to Tit Bits.
 This room is full of tender associations to me. My first hus- band died in that bed, with his head on that very pillow. My dear father passed away on that sofa under the window. He was a spiritualist, and he vowed he would appear in this room again after death, though I've never seen anything of him yet. My poor nephew William fell dead with heart disease right where you are standing. He was study ing to be a doctor, and there are two whole skeletons and six ab- normal livers preserved in spirits in that press wonder. while that bottom drawer is full of old bones and skulls. He used to do a lot of vivlsecting up here when he was alive.
 Well, good night and plea sant dreams.

 The potato bug or beetle is very interesting to study. It eats the potato leaves and lays it's eggs or them. In the winter it goes in the ground and stays there until early spring, when it comes out and hunts around for some potato tomato, eggplant or a sticky weed or bur. 1 think if a lot of these weed were put in a potato patch they would serve as trap plants to catch the bugs.
 These are the only insects l have noticed very closely. l have noticed several others, but cannot find where they stay dur ing the winter. Progressive Far mer.

HOW IS YOUR COUNTY FAIR

Once again we urge the im- portance of the county fair. But why a fair"' some one asks. or, well, why any effort for the good of the county or the State? For though the fairs, both county and State, are for the most part organized as private associations they generally represent praise worthy patriotism on the part of thesbackers. and too often their reward is only the privilege of going down into their pockets to meet some deficiency occasioned in part perhaps, by your failure to make an exhibit or to attend. esanswef in brief as to why you should have a fair, is for the public good-for giving individ- ua!s new ideals and for stimulat- ing community pride.
 But these fairs are social organizations as well, and so help fLl in this respect that it is quest ionable whether in any other way they serve so large a pur- pose. Bringing together the rep resentatives of every township at some central place like the county seat leads the people to know one another, knowledge as power full with the community as the know myself" with the indivi- dual. They are likewise educat- ional. The average fair county or state lhas something for the visitor who goes with his eyes open an mind alert.
 Moreover, our fairs are putting larger seress on these education al features each year. The mid way is lessening, the gambling devices and those who play there are on the decrease, and the drinking places have gone or are going. This new order of things means much for the larger fairs, but more for the smaller ones, which have suffered from the false impression that special at fractions beyond their final reach were necessary to their success. Numerous most successful county fairs were held last year with their agricultural. educational, and livestock exhibits for their

No business man in any tow6 should allow newspaper pub lished in his town to go without his name and business mentioned somewhere in it's columns. This applies to all kinds of business. This does not mean that you should have a whole, half or quarter page, but your name and business should be mentioned if you do not use more than a two inch space. A stranger picking up newspaper should be able to tell just wha business is rep- resented in a town by looking at the business mentions in paper This is the bast possible town ad yertiser. The man who does not advertise his business does an in- justice to himself and the town. The man who insists upon shar ing the business that comes te n town. but refuses to advertise his own, is not a valuable addition to the town.

HOW INSECTS LIVE AND LAY THEIR EGGS

The most interesting thing 1 have observed about insects is their method of working and lay ing their eggs.
 I have been observing for some time the different methods of di- fferent insects. The plum cur culio lays it's eggs in the plumb by making a hole in it, and there deposits it's egg and then cuts a

A TRICK OF THE TRADE.
One mother has avowed that sho
has discarded all but button boots,
shoes and slippers for her children,
and going step further she has ap-
piled the same rule to the footwear
OF the grown-ups. Why2 Economy,
she says; for with family of seven
she found that money for shoe laccs
amounted to good sum at the end
OF year, TO say nothing of the time
and nervous shock spent on broken
laces. Then she made a practice of
having the family shoe buttons put on
to stay when the purchase was made,
and she calculated her saving of time,
money and nerves as worth while
One thing that is fortunately in this
