Has 1t ever occurred to you that,
from the point of view of eyesight,
there is a right way and a wrong way
OF holding a book? If you hold it the
wrong way, especially if the pages be
OF smooth, shining paper, you will get
a reflection hurtful to the eyes. An
eye specialist has been pointing this
out, and he says the thing could be
remedied by using a certain kind of
oookmarker which would destroy the
reflection, and in that case you could
hold the book anyhow you liked with
out coming to harm.

Personality and Character.

Yes, there is a difference between
personality and character" Per-
sonality is the larger thing, and in
cludes character. By personality is
meant the mysterious entity going to
make up ones being, or nature. 1t is
equivalent to self-consciousness or in
dividualized being. Character, on the
other hand, strictly defined, means the
attributes of the Individuals the
character for intelligence, Judgment,
moral rectitude and SO forth. In a
word, personality is more metaphysi-
cal, character more ethical.

ALFALFA SPECIAL
PLANS FOR A TOUR OF EDUCA
TION NEXT MONTH.

Sioux Falls, April 29.-Judge A.
&. Chamberlain of Minneapolis, for
merly superintendent of the farm in
stitute work in South Dakota, but
now in the educational department
of the International Harvester COM
pany, was in Sioux Falls. He is just
back from a months trip to Missis-
sippi ana is in South Dakota COM
plotting the detailed arrangements
for the Alfalfa special which will
start at Aberdeen on June Sth, and
will remain in the state until the end
of the month. The campaign for
better farming is to be co-operated
in by the state college, the state
grange, the farmers institute, the
commercial clubs and civic organiza-
tons the Northwestern, Omaha and
Milwaukee railroads and the Inter
national Harvester company.
About ninety stops will be made
in the state and at each stop from
five to seven meetings will be held.
One meeting is to be held in the
town and the others in points in the
country to be reached by auto. Judge
Chamberlain believes that from nine
TO twelve thousand farmers will be
reached by the campaign. The ladies
are specially urged to participate in
the meetings. The only expense 10
the various communities are the
small items of hotel bills for the adj
vance man, the local advertising, the
auto service, ana hall rent for any
meetings which may be held indoors.
The train will not stop at any town
that does not provide from four to
six meetings in the county, the idea
being to reach farmers who have not
been hitherto interested.
On the Milwaukee line points will
be covered from Selby to Sisseton, to
Aberdeen to Elk Point across to
Canton and back to Mitchell, from
Flandreau to washington Springs,
from Canton to Bristol, from Murdo
to Canton and from Platte TO Yank-
ton.
The special will be turned over to
the Northwestern at Lake Preston
and points will be covered on that
line from Brookings TO Gettysburg,
and Oneida, from Worthwhile to Hay
warden and from Mitchell to Sioux
Falls.
