According to Mr.. Powers, the lamb

One day the little lamb followed

was too far away for her to see, but
Mary called, and the lamb, recog-
n1zing her voice, began bleating and
at once came to her. Mary and her
brother, Nathaniel, were well on
their way when the lamb began fol-
lowing them. Mary wanted to take
the lamb back home, but Nat said
"Oh, no. let's take 1t to school," and
Mary consented.
When Mary and her brother
reached the schoolhouse yard their
teacher, Miss Polly Kimball, had not
yet arrived. Some OF the scholars
were there, however, and these
crowded around the new pupil They
were all much amused. Mary was

teacher could not refrain from laugh

and, realizing that she must dispose
OF the lamb IN order to maintain dis
cipline among her pupils, she turned
the little creature out OF doors. It
fingered near the door. however, and
bleated for It's little mistress. The
teacher then allowed Mary to 90 out
into the yard and place the lamb In
the woodshed.

other.
A good development Of the muscles
OF the back, chest and abdomen are
particularly necessary for grace OF
form and movement. This can only
be obtained by exercise and right
living
When all the measurements have
been laid down it must be said that
beauty cannot exist unless the figure
Is inspired with grace and the poetry
OF motion. The face. too, must be
intelligent and illuminated with the
yearnlng for the beautiful.
l have said that the man can be
more beautiful than the woman. but
he rarely is so. He should lead a
more primitive life. He should eat
simple, wholesome food and not
snatch two crullers and a cup OF bad
coffee for his lunch.
Dancing is the most precious of all
forms Of exercise In producing grace
of body. Grace is sureness OF
motion, and this we acquire by dane
ing. The rhythm of the music, set
ting every movement OF the body 10
time, produces a harmonious mus
cular development.
In conclusion let me urge all boys
and young men to keep the Greek
ideal OF beauty before them. Try to
be beautiful In your bodies, and in
your lives. Do not allow beauty, the
most precious thing in the world,
10 be the monopoly of one sex. IL
we all loved true beauty the sin
and ugliness that Gisfgure humanity
would be impossible. The true lover
Of beauty would never make his
fellow men do work that disfgures
their bodies.

THE SEED GRAIN QUESTION

To the farmers of Potter coun-
ty who have not yet secured their
seed grain and who are not able to
get it unless the county will fur
nish it for them:
If l the undersigned were in
your place l would at once see the
commissioner of my district and
tell him that ! needed seed grain,
and that | wished to get up to
what the law allows. Then l
would meet with the commissions
ers on April 9TH when theyGare in
session and place my case before
them, and perhaps they will make
arrangements to get it for you.
Two years ago the commission
ers furnished seed grain after one
failure, and surely they have a
good excuse now to furnish it aft
er two more failures. | under
stand the commissioners arc OPP
posed to furnishing seed grain, for
several reasons. One of them is
that lots of people kicked on it i'm
1912, and also that the county has
not been able to collect all it its
seed grain notes vet. But suppos-
ing that we would have had good
crop that year, as we did in 1888.
'S4-S5-SS-92 93- 95- 96- 81 99- 1902
81 s. g. Z s. 9.-then everybody
would have heen we'll pleased with
the county furnishing seed grain.
1t seems that we must expect a
change this year. After three
failures and 1910 a poor crop, it
stands to reason that we are going
to get good crop this year, and
| hope the commissioners will fur
nisn seed grain where it is needed.
Now remember l am not saying
that the commissioners will fur
nish seed grain this year. but ]
simply say that l believe they will
help ont where it is needed, provi.
ding it is in their power to do so.
Respectfully,
