GOOD WILL.
By CHARLES N. LURE

When we read in the Bible, in a rid
die, that tout of the eater came forth
meat and out of the strong came forth
sweetness we think probably only Of
the literal significance Of the words.
But they may be taken metaphOricai
ly. For instance
There is Henry Ford, wealthy man
dfacturer, whose announced determi-
nation to share $1O,OOOOO0 profits with
his employees has stirred the world.
Certainly Ford is a practical man. as
is attested by his success in the world,
and he should be a very Gradgrind
for facts and figures. But instead we
find him explaining the details Of his
plan, giving forth meat for reflection
and sweetness Of belief in humanity.
when all else is gained or lost"
says Mr. Ford, good will is the only
thing left. 1t is the only thing that
counts after ALL
Is this not sweetness out Of the
strong? For no one denies Mr.. Ford's
strength, and Of the sweetness of his
words there can be no doubt.
Higher than his fame, his success,
his wealth, he places the good will OF
his employees. the men and women
with whom he comes into daily con-
tact. He joys in the lighting Of the
| eye which is kindled when he inspects
| the great works in which he gives en-
ployment to 10000 persons. He wants
70 hn 0S nd
worker rather than as the boss"
An interesting side light on his sue
cess is cast on the fact that he attrib-
utes much of it to his wife. He is a
man of great mechanical ingenuity and
worked out while he was employed
otherwise the details of the invention
! which made him rich. He and his
wife had saved some money for the
| purchase of a home, and it was her
| dearest wish to own a place Of their
! own
But when he went to her with the
announcement that he had perfected
| his invention. He needed the few
saved hundreds or thousands for it's
development and let her choose wheth-
er she would use the money in that
way or persist in the plan of buying a
home with it. Mrs. Ford had faith in
her husbands ability. Without hest
tation she gave her consent to the di-
version Of the money. Financial sue
cess came. and she has now far
finer and grander house than she
1 dreamed of in those days.
His success is due, it seems, to her
willingness to give up the dream of
years for the sake Of her husband, for
she could not have known in advance
that his invention would be successful
There is another saying Of Ford that
is worth noting:
When you have given d man some
thing, you know then you can talk to
him. You have basis to go on"

Striving and Failing.

Life is not designed to minister to
mans vanity. He goes upon his long
business most Of the time with hang
ing head and all the time like a blind
child. Full Of rewards and pleasures
as it is-so that to see the day break
or the moon rise or to meet friend or
to hear the dinner call when he is
hungry fills him with surprising joys
this world is yet for him no abiding
city. Friendships fall through: health
fails; WEAKNESS assails him; year after
year he must thumb the hardly vary
ing record Of his own wea kness and
folly. 1t is friendly process Of de-
tachment When the time comes that
he should go, there need be few illu-
sions left about himself. Here lies
one who meant well. tried a little.
failed much"-surely that may be his
epitaph, Of which he need not be
ashamed.-Robert Louis Stevenson.

SEED CORN TESTS.
Some Seed Is Useless for.
Planting.
SEED CORN MUST Mako GOOD.
By F. D. Hawk, County Agent


e Seed corn must make good before we
can afford to plant on Minnesota farms
The only way we have of knowing
seed corn will make good is by the
termination test 1t seems that no
word of warning along the line of
testing seed cora should be necessary,
nevertheless seed corn is one of the
things on the farm that is most neg
lected
When you hire man for certain
piece of work, he must makegood, if
not he is dismissed When you buy
a piece of machinery it must do
the work, it must make good, or it
is returned. With seed corn once
planted, there is no take back to it,
and there is no assurance that it will
make good. Why let seed corn off
easier than any other business prop
osition we enter into: Why not test
every ear making it prove its worth
its vitality, its growing power
We have heard many a man say
that he knows his seed corn will grow
Now this statement is just as fool
ish as to look at horse and know
he will pull. We are quite often mis-
taken in our judgement of the horse;
our Judgment on seed corn has proven
even more erroneous; as a result
we find ourselves short in. the fall
at husking time.
Our seed corn may look fine. We
might think because it was picked
early that it is all right, but it must
be tested to know it's growing power.
1t can be done with little work;
l will not say a little trouble" it is
purely business.
Experiment stations as we'll as farm
ers have found that high yields are
in direct relation to high termination
and that low yields are in the same
relation to low termination.
1t has been found that for every
or s percent increase in termination
power of corn, an increased yield OF
from ten to twelve bushels of corr
in the fall is the result. Yield is
what we are after. No one is farm.
ing just for the pleasure of it, we are
after dollars; to secure the. most O.
them in our own corn crop it is
necessary for us to test our seed corn
Just at this time, 1 might drop tht
idea that all small grain seeds should
be tested, for their termination var
les as much as does the seed corn
The following readings of the tests
on corn samples at this office show
great variation. These samples
were furnished by members from thu
Horton Township Farm Club. Tn
corn was picked early and stored will
care, still the results are not salts
factory. All of these samples wer
tested under exactly the same condi
tions and at the same time, six ker
nels being taken as a sample from
each ear:

CATCHING

We have all heard. Nothing succeeds
like success"
Now we are told by an Englishman
who has made financial success Of
his life that nothing is so infectious, so
catching" as success or failure
Says this Briton:
Il have one rule in life. / regard it
as duty to succeed, so persistently
sought the company of those who had
succeeded If man was failure l
avoided him, not out of any snobbish-
ness, but because could not afford to
run the risk of catching the infection
OF failure from him"
The commentator on this wrote:
''Hfs was most curious idea, that
success and failure are infectious and
that one can catch them just as he can
catch fever and colds, In his mind it
worked out this way: Make compan-
ions Of weak people and one becomes
weak Make companions Of strong
people and one becomes strong"
He might have said that one must
have at least some Of the elements Of
strength to remain in the company OF
the strong. for they will not long toler-
ate the companionship of weakness.
There's much pith in the idea.
AS man makes his companionship,
so is he The old, homely proverb,
"Show me your friends and l will
know what you are is an oblique ex-
preston of the same thing.
Now
1t is true not only Of mans friends,
but of the things which he makes his
own. The books he reads. the pictures
he enjoys, the music he listens to. the
shows and amusements which he at
tends ali these are induces to charac-
ter
If success is catching cultivate the
society OF the successful. If failure is
infectious shun its presence.
This need not preclude the exercise
Of charity. 1t need not dry I'D the
springs of well doing for fear Of ac-
quiring the habits and manners and
other characteristics Of those with
whom one associates himself. The
very act Of philanthropy proves that
one is superior to the field in which he
labOrs.
But
1t must always be borne in mind
that success and failure are of various
kinds.
Many failure, judged by worldly
standards, is a glorious success when
viewed with the eyes Of true love Of
ones fellow men and women.

A NAME AND WHAT is IN II.

a NATL AND VIVA 40 ACS Aks
Generally speaking, the world recog
nizes the superiority Of Shakespeare
as a student and expounder of human
nature. But when he wrote the lines
about Whats in a name?" in Romeo
and Juliet" he said something with
which not every one agrees.
There is much in name.
For example. there's young wO-
man in America today who has reason
to believe that there is much in a
name. She was accused not long ago
of robbing another woman of her hus-
band and clipping with him.
And her given name is Delilah!
1t is hard to comprehend the state
of mind which will induce a mother Or
a father, or both, to handicap girl
baby with name like that for life,
Is it possible that any one in this age
of compulsory education should not
know the sinister history OF the name
Delilah and the frightful associations
which center around it?
Delilah, the woman who enticed the
comprised his destruction by his enc
miles,, the Philistines, in spite OF his
professions of love for her!
1t is a name with which no good,
honorable woman should be burdened
Why select it from the wOmen's names
in the Bible when Mary or Ruth or
Naomi or Esther or Hannah or any
other of the rich store, fragrant with
the memory Of gracious lives and good
deeds, may be chosen?
As we'll call girl child after one OF
the terrible women denounced by the
prophets:
Inappropriate and incongruous names
there are a-plenty. Most of US know
Blanches who are brunettes and Lilys
who are short and stumpy No blame
attaches to the parents in such cases
in all likelihood. for they cannot tell
how son or daughter is to develop
physically, and custom ordains that a
name be chosen when the child is very
young.
| Years ago suggestion was made
that a tentative, temporary name be
given to a child for purposes OF iden-
ttfication and that when he reached
years OF discretion he might have the
| option of retaining the name or select
ing another which suited him better.
1t is believed there were legal rea-
sons why this course could not be fol-
lowed But most or all Of the states
permit person to change a name by
a simple legal process when the old
one does not suit, provided that the
name be not altered for the purpose Of
defrauding ones fellow citizens.
Perhaps the name Delilah led the
poor girl into devious ways Who

March gets its name from Mars.
the god of war, and in the old Ro-
man calendar it was the first month of
the wear. One Of the most unique
anu terrible controversies in history
ragged over its availability for that
purpose from; the time of Numa, in
the seventh century before Christ, to
that of Caesar. Just before Numa,
came tc the throne the Roman Senate
passed law prohibiting spring duck
shooting. Numa, who was duck
shooter and had one Of the best blinds
in the Pontine Marsh. nullified the
law by beginning the year in March
and throwing spring over to the heated
season, when the ducks had gone
north. The game protectionists made
stubborn resistance, but they were
defeated at Bologna and driven back
beyond the Rubicon.
Duck shooters held the fort success
fully until Caesar, who restored March
as the first month of spring and be-
gan draining the Pontine Marsh for
agricultural purposes. Caesar had no
patience with duck shooting. He
was subject to fits, and he found that
whenever bunch of ducks came in to
his decoys and he didn't get any, he
> always had particularly hard fit.
This prejudiced him against the sport.
and he tried to ruin it. He was
promptly assassinated by Brutus and
other duck shooters, but he was very
popular, and the calendar remains to
this day exactly as he left it.

The Rev William M Petungill of Wilmington Mass, precipitated the argument when he said he had seen young men go from church to college full of the spirit of the gospel and at the end of their course cease to believe in anything.
 T have grown tired" he said, "of lis- tening to candidates for the Baptist min istry say they do not believe in the vir- gin birth or the resurrection of the phy- sical body. I have been unable with a clear conscience to recommend any Bap- tist school that I know about
 Cries of "No. No.' came from the audience.
 Several speakers rushed to the defense of the institutions.
 The board of educations report showed that during the past year 21 institutions were visited, a thorough study of the educational situation in three states was made and nine university pastors were employed to work among Baptist students in state universities.

SAY MAN ADMITTED
 KILLING LITTLE GIRL
Jacob Taylor Arrested In Pittsburg On Charge
 of Murder

Pittsburg June 1S.-Accused of having slain little Florence Dove near North Braddock May 1. while she, with Eliza beth Kleneck. was picking violets. Jacob Taylor. aged 2l. was brought to the coun- ty jail here tonight. Taylor. the police declare. had made two written confes- sions of the crime.
 William Taylor was arrested in Brad- dock last Monday for selling herbs with out a borough license. He told the police he carried on the business with his brother Jacob and as the police also wanted the brother for the same offense, he gave them a description of him. The description was so like that of the man who had killed the Dove child as given by Elizabeth Kleneck that dragnet was thrown out and on Tuesday Taylor was arrested. 4ie was held in the police sta ton at North Braddock until tonight and the police say told them of the crime, reducing the confession to writing. A knife and bloodstained handkerchief found in Taylor's room was taken as proof of his confession
 The murder of Florence Dove. the last of a series of similar crimes in the vi- cinity of North Braddock. so aroused the people that several thousand steel workers. police and detachments from the state constabulary searched the vii cinity of the outrage for more than g week for the murderer.
