lazy Farmers. DON'T Road This

The United States Department OF Agri.
culture, the state boards and the experts
all over the country are urging the farm.
ers OF America to cultivate every available
acre during the coming year. The war in
Europe assures the sale of almost every
thing that can be raised. Every article
that IL exported to feed the soldiers and
| citizens and the stock of Europe means
Just that much less for home consump.
ton, therefore, even with big crops OF
everything, the prices will be high. II IL
IL not good crop year the farmer will at
least raise enough for home use and will
not have to pay the high prices that pre-.
vail. Utilize every available acre for
grain, grasses and vegetables. In many
sections farmers are urged to try double
acreage OF potatoes. IL should not be
necessary, under proper conditions, To
IMPORT potatoes into any agricultural
county. Put the hens and turkeys to
work and give them square deal. Raise
pgs, cattle and horses in as large num-
bers as the accommodations of the farm
will justify and any losses that any farm
er, planter or rancher may have sustained
last year will be more than made good.
The war in Europe may last for months
or years, but while il continues there will
be an active demand for everything we
produce. Should the war end this week
the nations engaged will need all our
surplus products for a year at least. Take
our advice, for once, aud do not permit
good, tillabie land to lie idle in 1915.

In Railroad Circles

Swinging on" trains after they have
been set in motion il discouraged 10y the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad in circular
which has been Issued TO trainmen, urg.
ing them To get aboard promptly and
before starting at terminals, in order tn
minimize the danger OF personal injury as
well az To facilitate operation and over
come delays. Itis held by the company's
officials that boarding trains promptly
makes II possible To attain the maximum
speed provided 10y the schedule with more
qnickness, while IL also obyiates the
necessity OF the engineer dividing his
attention in order not To leave other
members Of the crew. This latest effort
In the interest Of quick transportation
applies chiefly TO freight service
Aiming To protect its empl)yes against
permanent injury to the eye or loss of
sight, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
urges, in II circular issued recently, that
in case of such injury, or OF foreign par
tlcles lodging therein, To secure the SER
vice OF II company physician whenever
possible, rather than attempt u treat the
injury or to allow fellow employees TO do
so. Railroad experience cities many
cases Of permanent injury to the eye or
loss of sight as a result Of mex perienced
persons attempting to act in the capacity
OF surgeons. The securing of medical
attention also eliminates the possibility
OF infection. The railroad physicians are
prepared to render expert service in such
accidents as injury 10 the eye.

The Stamp Tax

A stamp act helped to make us declare
war against England But our own
stamp act will help to make us realize
what an expensive thing war ia and how
far-reaching its effects are. Every one OF
those little stamps which we will see on
numberless articles that we purchase will
be part OF the toll that Mars is levying on
us, and we cannot escape the exaction
which he has imposed. though we ar
1900 miles from the territory that ne il
dominating. On the whole. III re VIZ
stamps may prove missionaries for peace
II ii costs MS 500, 200, 900 or 80 in taxes
when Europe fights, what would it cost
US 10 indulge in that sport ourselves?
This is one Of the questions that these
stamps will ask, and before they retire
from circulation We probably shall have
an answer ready in our minds -Balti-
more Sun.

Home Helpfulness
VS.. Wet Blankets
Destructive Criticism is Most
Baleful Force in the
World.

The most baleful force in the world
is destructive criticism, and nowhere
else does it work with such deadly
effect as in tn home circle.
1t is the fashion TO speak of home
as a place where one is sure of under
standing, and encouraging, and ap-
probation. In reality the exact op-
posite of this is true. Home Is the
place where those nearest and dearest
10 YOU feel il TO be their sacred duty
TO throw cold water on your aspira-
lions, wal,en you up from your dreams
of achievement and puncture your
little balloon Of self-confidence.
The weapon which these foes of our
own households use upon us is de
structive criticism. They are perpet-
ual Ants. They never by any chance
suggest anything that we should do.
They never indicate anv road TO hap
piness or prosperity
Sometimes the critic on the hearth
Is a mother who begins her nefarious
work upon her children in the very
cradle by continually holding up their
shortcomings before them. They grow
up 10 a chorus Of reproaches. willie,
what makes you so awkward? You
can't walk across the room without
falling over your feet. My, but you
are the dumbest child, yOu'n never
have any manners, and you'll be a
laughing stock in society when you are
grown" Mary, can't you sit up
straight? You're as crooked as a
rainbow. A girl as ugly as you are
should at least try to cultivate good
figure. 1 don't see why you couldn't
have been pretty, and~bright, and tai
ented like Sallie Jones'" etc. etc.
often a boy wants to take up a GER
tain line of work or to go away from
home TO seek his fortune The critic
on the hearth is utterly incapable of
judging Of the boys ability, or his
talent, or his opportunity, but she can
raise 10000 objections to IT. and douse
down the proposition until she puts
out the fine fire of enthusiasm in
the lads soul.
Or, perhaps, the victim is a young
girl She's poor and needs money.
She is talented and ambitious. but let
her want to strike out and do some
thing for herself, and there stands
mother with the icy cold wet blanket
ready to throw over her, and chill her
every aspiration 10 the backbone
Mother has IONS of criticism to offer
to every plan that is suggested, but
she never comes forward with any
interesting counter propositions. She
doesn't even produce the wealthy and
faultless young man that she holds
that every girl should marry.
That is why destructive criticism
becomes a. crime, and those who have
nothing to offer us in place of what
they take away do us a deadly harm
Unless you can give US constructive
criticism and tell Us a better way Of
doing things than we are doing them,
keep silent.
