The boys and girls on the farm need responsibility. The sooner they are made responsible the more rapid ly will they show themselves to be trustworthy. A good way to encour- age independence, thrift and responsi- dility is to give the children animals and let them be responsible for the care of the animals. As a general rule children are fond of animals and when given animals of their own they will find pleasure in taking care of them.

The Value of Today

While walking in the streets
one is often greeted with the
cheerful remarks: cts a nice
dayn Good days and bad days
exist only in the mind. The
weather had nothing to do with it..
Each day is what we make it.
Suppose you get the word that
your salary has been doubled or
that a forgotten uncle has left
you 100000. What do you
care about the weather then? Or,
suppose the person you love is dy-
ing. Unexpectedly turn for the
better comes. The doctor says
your dear one will live. What if
it is hotter than Tophet? 1t is a
good day, a great day, a happy
day. 1t is what we think and feel
about it that makes each day what
| it is.
Put down in the notebook of
your soul the poet Runeberg s
thought, Each day is a life"
When you get up in the morning
throw back your shoulders take a
deep breath and meet the new day
like man. Say to yourself: can
other day, another life. " For all
we know, it may be the only day
we shall ever have. Let us make
it the best day we can. Let us
strive to make it a day worth
while to move a step forward in
our work, do all the good we can,
get all the happiness we can to-
day.
Right now is the only time you
can control. Yesterday is a rec
ord. Today is yours and mine.

w. R. Eubank, secretary and
treasurer of the Commercial TRAY
elers Pineapple Co., calls us down
for once in a while making the
mistake of putting an IS" on the
end of his name. He says there
is only one of him and that aside
from not being a plurality in him
self there's another reason he
prefers to have that IS" left off
He came originally from Old Ken,
lucky and he says there were peo-
pie in that state who were named
Eubanks" these were Repugli.
cans-those named Eubank
were Democrats. The way the
name was spelled indicated the
man S politics. While Mr.. Eu-
bank has a kindly feeling for
good Republicans, he himself is a
Democrat, and he doesn't like tc
have mistakes made either in the
spelling of his name or in placing
him politically.

There would be only one way to
do business and that would be the
Imail-order way--sight unseen. In
stead of taking the harness over
to a neighbor to swap it for a
mail-order suit of clothes, perhaps
the thing to do would be to take
over a picture of it and show the
other fellow that. The clothes or
the harness would look Al in a
picture. But the actual article,
especially if it had been in use a
little while, would be hard thing
to drive a bargain with. 1t would
be as hard as driving nails with a
mail-order hammer.
No, if the coin ever disappears
in this country and we have to
trade actual commodities, the
mail-order house and the mail-or-
der patron are going to have a
hard time doing business.

The Circulating Medium

When the war broke out in Eu-
rope the first thing that happened
.tC the countries in Owed was that
coin ran to cover. People who
had any money put it away some
where so that if a time came that
they really had to have it they
would have it. The bankers
called it boarding and were
perfectly right in saying it was a
mistake to do it. But you can t
make human nature over in a
night. So people had to trade the
commodities themselves instead OF
the coin that represents commodi-
ties.
Now. Europe has a good many
troubles but there is one trouble
she hash t to any such degree, and
that is the mail-order house. The
enemies that are hurting the coun-
try over there and destroying
towns and homes come from with
ont instead of from within. They
are bomgarding the country villa
oes with bombs instead OF mall
order catalogues.
But we hate to think what some
towns would do for circulating
medium if a thing like that ever
happened over here and the coin
all ran to cover We mean those
towns where the mail-order cata-
logue goes about seeking whom ii
NAV devour. There isn't much
ready money in a town like that
ANYWAY. And if such cOmmunl
tx had &c exchange commodities
