CANADA WINNING
CHAMPIONSHIPS
In AGRICULTURE
Jhs Latest Is Winning Cham
pionship for Oats a Third
Time.

Recently was published the fact Of
remarkable winnings by Canadian
farmers In several events during the
past three or four years. The latest
II that Of Messrs. J. c. Hill & Sons
Of Loydminster, Saskatchewan, who
won In q hard contest for the oat
championship over Montana. At the
National Corn Exposition at Dallas
during February, Montana oats were
awarded the championship for the
United States. Waiting for the win
ner of this to be announced was a
peck Of oats belonging to the Ca
madam growers above mentioned. and
alongside Of these was a like quantity
belonging to a Minnesota grower, who
was barred from the regular compe-
tition because he was at n time the
winner of the trophy-the prize. The
three entries were side by side on the
judges bench. 1t would not be DOS
sible to bring together three more
likely samples. The Montana and
Saskatchewan entries were OF equal
weight--50 pounds to the bushel. The
Minnesota sample was some three
pounds lighter. The award was
unanimous In favor of the Saskatche-
wan oats. A remarkable feature and
one greatly to the credit Of the Ca
madam product was that the oats,
grown In 1913, were grown and shown
by those who had competed during
the past two years, winning on each
occasion. This, the third winning.
gave them for the third time the
worlds championship and full posses
sion Of the splendid $500 silver
trophy contributed by the state OF
Colorado.
The oats which have thus given to
Western Canada another splendid ad-
vertising card, were grown 300 miles
north OF the international boundary
line, proving that in this latitude. all
the smaller grains can be grown with
greater perfection and with more
abundant yield than further south. IN
all this country are to be found farm
ers who produce oats running from
u to 48 pounds to the bushel, and
With yields Of from 60 to 100 bush
lis Q acre. Wheat also does well,
trades high, and yields from 80 to 40
mshels per acre. The same may be

IFanatical Kansas.
From the Breeders Gazette.

Kansas admits having within Its
borders 812 dependent people living
upon public charity. However, n Q
fourth Of the counties of Kansas have
no paupers at all. There are 81
counties in Kansas that lack poor
farms and eight more with poor farms,
but lacking inmates. Now is that not
quite a good answer to those who look
upon Kansas with plying smiles?
Among the reasons for the lack of
extreme poverty in Kansas are the
high general level Of intelligence, he
good schools, the prevalence of profit
able employment and the absence Of
the saloon in rural villages. We have
heard Kansas termed "fanatical." Let
US all pray for a speedy spread Of the
sort of fanaticism that makes tenant
less the almshouse and fills the coun-
try school. '-|. ,r

Frederick S Fourth Safe and Sane.

Frederick Fourth Safe and Sane.
Thousands of persons from Frederick
City and county lined the streets last Sat-
urday morning and witnessed the great
chlldrens demonstration and carnival,
which was planned by the Safe and Sane
Fourth Committee of the local Civic
Club. From the time the church bells
pealed forth at O'Clock in the morning
until the great pyrotechnic display on
Saturday night, there was a continual
program OF events, and instead OF the
old method of celebrating the glorious
Fourth, people witnessed a civilized OBJ
servance and the grandest and greatest
celebration i'll the history of Frederick.
Every one entered into the spirit of
the occasion and the blast OF the danger.
GUS fire cracker was heard at far inter-
walls and with a muffled effect. The
display of fireworks at College Park iu
the evening was witnessed by fully &, 900
persons, according to the most conserv-
alive estimates. The display was beau
tllul and wonderful and from the time
that the first piece was set up until the
last display was set, the heavens were
afire with beautiful aerial pyrotechnics,
the most amazing ever seen in Fred
erck.
In front of the court house a patriotic
program was rendered, which was pre-.
sided over by the Hon. Milton c. Urner.
Mr.. Urner introduced the speaker the
Rev. U. S G. Rupp, who paid a high
tribute to the observance of the day and
especially according to the safe and
sane method. After the singing of the
Star Spangled Banner" led by Mr..
Henry F. Anderson, and the salute to
the flag, led by four young ladies, the
prizes donated by the citizens OF Fred
erick were awarded.

lie what had happened. The woman
was struck on the top of her head and
her hair Immediately took fire. Before
her husband could extinguIsh the flames,

Peach Crop Will Rival the
Wheat

Like the wheat crop, Frederick
county will have a bumper peach crop
this year. considering the number of
trees and the size of the various or
chards in the county. There will be
an abundant supply Of peaches for home
consumption, declared one Of the
county's leading fruit growers recently,
in discussing the value of the crop, and
whether it would be necessary to import
from foreign counties and States TO sup
ply the demand in Frederick City and
county.
1t has been estimated that the yield of
the fruit in this county this year will be
almost ten thousand bushels, which in
cludes the fruit that will be secured by
the farmerssfor their own personal use
from the trees on their own properties.
These peaches raised by tine farmers for
home consumption, of course, will not
appear on the Frederick market In the
mountainous section of the county there
is an unusually heavy yield, while there
are also large quantities in the section
surrounding the city.
Hand in hand with the big peach
Weld there is every indication that the
crop of apples will be unusually large
this year. Orchards, where the owners
have taken care to have them sprayed
and treated for diseases, are loaded with
fruit. 1t is reported that some orchards
will produce several thousand bushels OF
fruit. The apple crop will be much
larger than the peach yield in the county.

SHORT ROAD TO MISERY.

Begin by fancying that no one cares
for YOU; that YOU are not OF any use to
anybody; sort of nonenity in the house
hold where your place would not be
missed, but very easily supplied. Re-
fleet on your want Of beauty. and then
lead Yourself 10 believe that no one can
love plain face, or think that you are
not agreeable because there are others
more charming. Fancy that every one
who looks upon you makes a mental
comparison which mitigates against you
in favor Of some one else. Imagine that
every word said in jest is only meant to
cover deeper and more painful mem.
ing-that every article of wearing APP
pare YOU don is criticised and ridiculed.
Do all this and your tendency to morbid
ity of feeling will increase so that in a very
short time you will become one OF the
most miserable OF human beings.
ANSWERING CHILDRENS' QUESTIONS.
ANY one who has the ability to ask a
question that to him is worth asking,
has the capacity to receive an answer that
to him is worth receiving. A thoughtful
child, on inquiring the location of
Heaven, was told by his mother that he
could not understand it. even if she ex-
planned it, She was probably right in SO
far as the child's ability to understand
her was concerned; but she was wrong
IN not telling him that the fault was with
herself and not with him. Had she known
as much about answering him as he
knew about questioning her, there need
have been no trouble about his under
standing her explanation. There is nc
question that child can Seriously and
fairly ask that cannot be as seriously and
fairly answered. To tell a child or to
lead it to infer that it is too little" to
know anything more on any subject
about which 1t already knows enough
to frame a question, is to denv its capac
itv for further growth. 1t is to thrust the
| chid's mind into dungeon instead O.
opening it to the light. 1t is to bind it in
| letters. instead of giving it the freedom
| of action. Ability to ask. presuppose.
the CAPACITY to receive. And no Ques
tons are better worth answering o.
