Do Your Best.

This habit of always doing ones
best enters into the very marrow Of
ones heart and character; 1t affects
ones bearing, ones self-possession.
The one who does everything to a fin.
ish has feeling of serenity; he is
not easily thrown of his balance; he
has nothing to fear, and he can look
the world in the face because he feels
conscious that he has not put shoddy
into anything, that he has had nothing
to do with shams, and that he has
always done his level best. The sense
of efficiency, of being master OF ones
craft, Of being equal to any emer-
gency; the consciousness of possess

whatever one undertakes, will give

MOST SURE OF IMMORTALITY

It Is quite possible. and even very

that those who came before you have

not altogether improbable that we may

the spiritualistic theory Is perfectly

To Pay More for Beets Next Year.
Eastern Michigan farmers who raise

will be paid the fat rate of Sc ton
for 1915 crop at the company's six
plants, according to an announcement
made by the company's general man.
ager.
This raise In price to the producers
means to the farmers of Michigan
100000 more. The provision Of the
1915 contracts were made known by
the company, and the field men will
begin Immediately to sign up acreage
for next year. 1t is said that the Eu-
ropean war has had more to do with
the increase in the price Of beets than
any other condition. Germany is a
great beet sugar producing country,
as is Russia.
The conflict practically puts a stop
to any expectation of beet sugar to
the United States and reduces foreign
competition, giving the United States
almost entire control Of the sugar
market.

Quarantine Still On In State.
The date of the lifting Of the quar-
antine on shipments Of cattle from
the state of Michigan Is still in the
misty future, according to Dr. Z. p.
Schaffter, federal inspector Of cattle.
II no further spread of the hoof-and
mouth disease is reported after the
cases now under surveillance are
cleaned up. the quarantine may be
lifted. but any further outbreaks of
the disease will mean an indefinite
continuation of 1t. Hay raisers are
suffering as a result Of the quaran-
tine as much as anyone In the state.
This state is great hay producer
and as long as the quarantine re-
mains on. the producers cannot ship
their product out.
The quarantine on the state OF Mon
tana, with the exception of the coun-
ties of Dawson and Custer. has been
lifted. The Detroit stockyards have
been opened, and cattle for immediate
slaughter may be received from all of
the counties. Cattle shipments from
infected counties may be sent to De-
troit yards for immediate slaughter
only. Those counties are Genesee,
Lapeer. Eaton. Ottawa, Montcalm,
Monroe, Lenawee, Branch, Case, Ber-
rien. Wayne and Hillsdale.
Cars loaded with stock and con-
signed to butchers and packers must
be cleaned before being reloaded. and
all cars received with stock must be
cleaned Immediately unless they are
carded and so designating that they
have been cleaned since November 5.
The practice of receiving cattle and
all live stock and holding them In
the yards for, awhile and then ship.
ping them out to farms is to be
stopped. Everything must be for
slaughter.
