We are our own fates. Our own deeds are our doomsmen Mans life was made not for mems creeds, but mems actions"
 An organization of 1000 women are throwing themselves into friendly work among their less fortunate neigh bors of the city. The board of city missions Is an organization composed of 30 missionary auxiliaries of the Methodist churches of Greater Bir- mingham-that is 1000 women, mem- bers from 30 churches, have banded themselves together for community so- cial service. This organization is eight years old; it has been doing good so quietly and so specifically that they have not had time to speak out in public until now, and. the reason for this. the work has outgrown the women and the men are needed
 When Mrs. oscar Reinhart, the pres identS began to talk of missions the first question that occurred to us, was natural, does this refer to home or foreign missions?" We are interested in both, but the need of this at home is so very apparent that we were filled with enthusiasm when We knew that this body of splendid women were siv- ing of themselves to their very neigh bors Their work is very definite. consequently very successful They have confined themselves to two me diums of reaching wonderful end They have installed a Wesley House in the Ayondale cotton mill district and one at 1404 Avenue H. Ensley, in the center of a neighborhood of 5000 Ital- ians. This work was started in one 1it- tie room at first, and now at each To- cation they have a we'll equipped home, presided over at Ensley by three work CTS, and at Avondale by four. Every institution has to have a head. Miss Deevan is head resident at Avondale, and Miss Dorothy Cuin at Ensley. They live in the homes, and use them as models for developing neighborhood home life, stimulating the residents to desire the inexpensive comforts of the simple life.

Recipes for Wrinkles
 and Bad Compilations

Of all the beauty recipes that have been published, here are two. that have successfully stood the test of time.
 Wrinkle Remover-One ounce pow dered saNolite, dissolved in F pint witch hazel Use as a wash lotion It brings Instantaneous results.
 Face sPeeler-Pure mercohzed wax. applied at night like cold cream only ing. It causes the wornout scarf skin to come off In tiny, almost invisible flakes, little each day, until the fresh young under skin is wholly in evidence. The beautiful rose tinted complexion thus obtained is not to be compared with one made over with cosmetics. If the old skin Is marred with freekles pimples or other blemishes. these de- fects are of course discarded with the skin itself. An ounce of the wax Is sui fjcient in any case.

 The postoffice here is far superior to Birmingham. Their system of distribu- ton is somewhat like ours only they give more attention to parcel post and regis tered matter On account of the revolu- tion, everything nearly goes by registered mail, and the quantity in this office is something enormous. The register clerks have been working day and night 16 hours per day and more cannot be successfully performed in this hot country for any great length of time.

 It makes me more than weary to hear their round condemnation of the Presi- dent for pursuing a policy that every fair minded man who Is on the ground recognizes as being the proper and wiseo policy for the United States to make per manent.
 This does not mean peace at the saer- fee of American honor, but rather that the American honor that must be vindi- cated before numberless lives are lost to appease the wrath of fortune hunting men whose claims on the goodness and patriotism are decidedly far fetched. There be Americans who have made in- vestment but few years back, but they are taxpayers in the states. and these are found to be the more charitable.

The plan marked out for the work
here may be in part, practical for us
to follow in Stark county.
The agent will be under the direc-
ton of a county agricultural bureau
which will direct what to do, and the
agent will show how to do it.
At first he will spend some time
in making the acquaintance of the
farmers and making a soil survey of
the county, when he will be ready
to advise and suggest how to get best
results. He will solicit the co-opera-
ton Of the live stock and dairy in
t~erests, commercial organizations,
railroads, banks and business men;
he will also make out a schedule for
neighborhood meetings for the ON
sideration of soil adoption, seed Sc
lection and seed testing. Alfalfa and
fodder crops and silo construction.
Live stock development and the dairy
especially, individual COW testing,
poultry, hog raising and fertilizing
will be a part of the agents work;
and with the cooperation of the pub
lie schools, he will organize the
corn clubs, potato, clubs, hog clubs,
calf clubs and Judging contests and
through these various departments
exhibits for fairs and shows will be
made; also lectures at appointed
meetings, timely newspaper articles
and circulars. Every Saturday Of
flee work, such as telephone calls,
soil and milk testing, etc., will be
considered.
Surely there will be work enough
for a real live man and I predict
with such a man in the field Stark
county would become the banner

work for successful diversified farm
ing in and for Stark county.
James J. Hill names five essentials
in profitable agriculture: Rotation
of Crops" Thorough Cultivation"
"Chemical Soil Analysis" Excepting
Live Stock" "Selection and Testing
of Seed" and then "more and Better
Cultivation"
This in a general way covers the
essentials.
Successful diversified farming is
the intelligent cultivation of a variety
Of crops, suited to our various soil
and the kind of. crop best suited to
our practical use. Our proposition
to employ a County Agent, is to give
this intelligent direction, is in line
with the advance movement in agri-
culture throughout the United States.
Even here in the old state of Pennsyl-
vania, in my old county of Lycoming,

hundred years been model farms
