BETTERING THE FARM.

The man who comes into possession
of farm that has not drop of paint
in sight nor an adequate foundation
under a single building is in position
to make a beginning. The trouble with
most men is that they want to do
things on a large scale. One small
building painted during spare moments
is an object lesson. 1t teaches the
farmer how to paint, the cost of paints,
and gives him some idea of how the
whole would look and last If painted.
Not yard of concrete may be found
on the farm, yet making concrete is
neither difficult nor expensive, and the
farmer can have concrete with practi-
cally no money outlay other than the
cost of cement, which is moderate. He
learns much in putting, in one small
job; he takes interest, wants more such
improvement and makes effectual
plans for it the next year.
No tiles have been put in. Special,
lists say they should be laid every two
rods and any farmer ought to find
money for fifty rods of tile with which
to start. The muddy days of winter
may be used to good advantage to lay
the tile, and the labor expense is in,
considerable

TEACHING CHILDREN TO TALK
Comparatively an Easy Matter to Get
Them to Use the Right Words In
Right Place.

We teach our children to eat nicely,
to walk gracefully, and to dress them
selves neatly, and all the rest OF 1t,
but very few of US take the trouble to
teach them how to talk In an interest
ing way, though the art OF entertain
ing conversation Is as valuable an
art as one can possess. says the Cam
den Daily Courier.
II you listen to the ordinary gossip
in an average family you will notice
that the children use the same set
of words again and again. They have
half a dozen adjectives with which
they sprinkle their conversation and
they help out their lack Of expression
by such tags as "Oh, we'll, you know
what / mean," or ut was a sort OF
what.do-you-call-it" and SO on.
1t is q pity to allow such sl0Venly
habits Of speech to be formed. Even
when the accent and grammar are
quite good, the children's speech is
often very uninteresting just because
of the thoughtless style OF expression
used.
When a glaringly unsuitable word is
used take a chance of speaking about
It and suggesting a better one. There
will be no need to nag at the chill
dren on such points as these. They
will be only too glad to learn, II they
have the chance, for mott little ones
are instinctively attra cted by the mere
sound Of fine words.

ness?

Do the dictates of pleasure
WELD a greater influence overman
than the requirements of BUSH
ness? 1t would seem so If we
may Judge by the condition of
our country roads.
The automobile people of this
country are alive, wide awake
and up-to-the-miuute in aggres-
siveuess, and as a result we see
trunk line auto roads springiug
up all over the country. But
these roads have been construct
ed primarily for the purpose of
adding to mans pleasures in this
life, and they furnish an eloquent
practical demonstration of what
can be accomplished when men
have the will to do.
If the people can construct
great car highways for pleasure,
why cannot we Of this communi'
ty improve our country roads for
both business and pleasure?
Muddy, sticky and heavy roads
are not conducive to travel, and
wherever you see them you see a
farming community that Is not
making the most of its oppor-
tunities.
Why can we not use as much
energy and ingenuity for business
purposes on the highways of this
community as the automobile
people employ elsewhere fer
pleasure alone? If we first make
a success of our commercial pur-
suits the pleasure will follow as
a natural sequence.
Improved country roads will
increase wonderfully the materi-
al welfare of our people and
stimulate the upbuilding of our
home community.
