lands inherited from their forefathers instead of feeling inclined to sacri- flee them to strangers for sums Tar below their value?
 This is another problem to oe worked out largely by the schooi teacher through the medium Of the public school. Is it not vitally lm- nortant. then, that we Loyalty support our Normal school and advocate US interests continually among the cit- izens of the state? Its purpose IS to give us the training necessary TOT meeting these very problems. Should not the departments of agrlculture and home economies receive special at tention and equipment, for through these we may give the boys and girls vision of the possibilities of their home and farm life.
 Our Normal school is comparatively new. therefore we believe with each year of it's improvement our corps or teachers may forget those things which are behind, and press forward in the high calling of teaching, toward the time when this illiteracy may be reduced, and when our citizens shall dwell together in happy, prosperous, industrial commonwealth, such as may be enjoyed by some of our older sister states with older Normal schools and more nearly perfected school systems.-Normal Echo.

 Grocery Co.

I have been suffering with bilious headaches and stomach trouble so bad I could hardly keep on my feet, but l was compelled to work to support my wife and family. One of my custom CTS advised me to take GR1GSBY'S and it would cure me, and to my wonderful surprise it has entirely cured me. My physician would give me calomel, but heaven knows, I would be sicker than ever, and would have to lay off. I have no more headaches and feel almost new person, and I know now my trouble was my liver. I am giving it now to my children and I see a wonderful improvement. LIV-VER-LAX helped me the first day took it, and is cer- tainly a working mans friend. l bought it at the Greeson Drug Com- pany.-Adv.

ABILITY TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS
Superior to Circumstances Work Ing Against Him.

We succeed just as often in spite of circumstances as we do because of them. The latter condition, inferring of course. that the circumstances are in our favor. is entirely natural and only to be expected, and accordingly we do not feel as though we are jus tifed in taking to ourselves all the credit for any success we may achieve. When we succeed. however, in spite of circumstances; or, in other words, when we rise superior to con- ditions. then 1t Is that we show tho real fiber of our natures and deserve all the credit that can be accorded us. However. if a man has 1t in him to succeed he will do 50, notwithstand. ing unfavorable conditions. The abil- ity to achieve success Is just as much a gift as the ability to paint, or sing, or write. or do anything we'll that lies especially in our power. It is just as natural for some of us to succeed as 1t Is for others to fail, and all condi- tions for or against our success are only means to an end. The man who intends to succeed realizes that he must rise far above many of the cir cumstances of his life and the secret of doing this Is part of himself and Is never readily acquired. Some of the most distinguished men of the past, men who have left the deepest Impress upon historys pages, fought and wrought in conditions that were far from conducive to their success; yet because they heard the call of an unknown voice summoning them to ehort. and because they felt the thrill or faith in themselves which could not be questioned they dared and won.

The First Red Cross.

The original Red Cross society dates back from long before the Geneva convention. Just 300 years ago an anonymous German work. which ap- peared at Cassel. called upon the learned to join and test the claims of the Rosicrucian order, said to have been fourded two centuries before that by ,jne Christian Roeenkrenz, who had gained his mysterious knowl- edge in the East. The order was Christian and Protestant, and al though 1t professed to possess many secrets. including that of making gold. its chief object was the gratuitous healing of the sick. A tremendous controversy arose. the order being vio- lently assailed as heretical and as violently defended by the broader minded or more credulous. The whole story appears to have been a triun- phant German university spoof.

MAKING FERTILIZERS AT SEA
Foods for Farms Ars Now Produced on Board Ship From Men-
 haden FIsh,

An American boat, the Mills. of Phil. adslphia. represents perhaps the ex- treme instance of the employment on tho ocean of electricity for industrial purposes. says Farm and Home. Tho Mills is . floating oil and fertilizer fac tory, wherein every possible process is performed under electrical control. The oil and fertilizer are obtained from tho menhaden nsh-a dsh sim liar in appearance to tho herring, but not edible.
 Powerful arc lights and search lights are provided to enable the work of catching and treating the fish to go on day and night. When . school of the fish is found, nets are slung over the side of the vessel and hauled in by electric hoists until the bins are full. Electrically driven screw conveyors carry the fish into smaller receiving tanks and automat- ically feed them into the steam cook CTS. In a few minutes the fish are pulped. The cooked fish Is forced through a rotary press to extract the oil. which Is conveyed to testing tanks. The oil Is cooled and Is con- ducted into storage tanks of 10000 barrels capacity. The fish scrap. or fertilizer. from which all the oil has been extracted. Is blown by an electric fan and dried as 1t is forced by the draft Into other storage bins. where 1t is bagged as 1t arrives.
