SHOWING now TO DO THINGS
Much That Could Be Accomplished by
Woman County Agent in a
Community.

The United States department of
Agriculture has started a movement
to place a woman county agent in
every community in this country. And
why shouldn't it? Mother needs help
just as well as father.
The woman county agent is to do
for women, girls and the home what
the farm demonstration agent does
for the men and the boys on the farm.
The aim in each case is to get done
some definite worthwhile things,
which teach a lesson and inspire to
greater achievements. In the girls
canning-club work the girls are in
structed how to grow tomatoes and
other vegetables on one-tenth of an
acre, and how to can, preserve, pickle,
and in other ways utilize the products.
Winter garden clubs and poultry clubs
have naturally followed the work in
canning and summer gardening. Bread
making and many other forms of home
Improvement work have also been
taken up. This work trains girls to
become efficient home makers, develop
the resources of the farm, to improve
the quality of the country life and
to become economically independent.
From the girls garden to the moth
ers' kitchen and the home is a short
and easy step. The work with girls
has opened the way for systematic
work in the rural
home, and has developed the logical
organization and method for doing
this work.

The trouble with most young men is
that they do not understand the dignl-
tv of manual labor. They do not rea-
iize that honors sand fortune may be
more readily gained outside of the So
called learned professions than in
them; and that it is just as honorable
to swing a hammer or to hold pillow
as it is to make speech in court or to
amputate % limb. The lesson yonng
men should be taught as early as pos
sible is that it is not so much what a
man does for living as how he does
it, and that manual labor is as honor
able as any other.

EBERT HUBBARD

The greatest loss the world has
suffered from the European war was
the death of Ebert Hubbard. Nayies
may be sent to the bottom of the
sea, cities RACED to the ground and
the products of farm and factory re-
duced to ashes; they can be replaced,
but the pen of Ebert Hubbard is stilled
forever.
His was Little Journey through
life but he saw more beauty, useful
ness and power than any traveller of
his day. He did not have to visit the
fountain of genius, climb the noun
tain tops of achievement or touch the
mile-posts of progress to stimulate
inspiration. His Creator planted in
his breast well spring of human
thought that gushed forth from the
reservoir of divine power-a gift
from the gods. Life flowed through
his heart more freely and human
emotions stirred his mind more com
pletely than that of any other man of
his generation.
He is the greatest literary product
of this commercial age, the most
masterful "ad'' writer the world ever
produced and has contributed more
toward understanding and apprecia-
ton of industry than any thinker who
ever penned Z. line or hummed a tune
on this planet. He was the most ac-
curate historian of human nature, the
most capable sculptor of human
thought and the most able painter of
human action Of the age in which he
lived.
The ocean waves may tendarly kiss
his body farewell, the salt of the sea
corrode his pen but his spirit will
i've on and on forever and WELD an
i1fiuence in directing the lives of
aen and shaping the destinies of ma

THE GREAT CHANCE

"While waiting for the great chance,
do not neglect the regular chores.
SO many people are looking for a
great streak of luck, that they fail to
see in the daily walks of life many lit
tie chances, little streaks of luck and
the little strikes, which if persistently
| followed would lead to greater and
more lasting achievements than the
one great coup.
Michael Angelo observed that trifles
make perfection and perfection is no
trifie." Success comes from attention
to detail; thought for little things; do
ing little things SO well that out OF the
many little things well done is sure to
come one great thing
great painting is but the result of
many little strokes; the great statue.
many little chips; the great buildings,
many little bricks put together with
care and precision, with the end always
| in mind. While the artist sees a finish
ed picture in every stroke, the sculptor
finished image in every chip, and the
architect completed building in every
line, each stroke and each chip and
each line must count or the end will
be disappointment.
No man jumps into success at one
leap. No great invention has been
sudden thing. The Wrights worked on
flying machines years before they flew.
Henry Ford was mechanic before1he
was an automobile wizard. he did not
dream Ford car; he woeked it out.
And it took years.
1t is all very we'll to keep your head
up, but watch your step or you will
stumble. Look out. to sea once in
while, but mind the compass near at
hand. Aim at the moon if you will,
but there's barn door handy by to
practice on. Dream big things but try
your hand at little ones first.
Tho man who wears expensive
clothes, a high hat, diamond as big
as hens egg and watch chain that
would do honor to battleship may
look prosperous and cut wide swathe,
but if he neglects the razor, the nail
file and the tooth brush, he can't
break into good society, nor make
good impression at Els bank. The
banker wants consistency-atte
to little things.
In the effort to get rich (and who
doesn't aspire to wealthy it is better to
Law a foundation, as the mason lays
bricks, saving little by little, laying by
each week or each month few dollars
which when they get together in the
bank, will form the foundation for a
great structure when the time comes
to build. Your bank account will get
you more than you may appreciate
and carry you long way on life's
journey. Mark the man with bank
book-how easy it is for him to get
credit!
You can own a home in some placts
if you have saved hundred dollars:
y
that way. Better save FIVE hundred
first; for the proposition of paving S 5
a month, $50 of which is interest, will
not get you very far in year. Better
stick to little chores until you get
snougg financial strength to under
take a big one.
Thrift in the last analysis consists in
attention to detail; In doing the little
things so well that by the time the big
thing comes your way, the habit of
saving and thoroughness will have
been so Fixed that the big chance will
be well done too. While you wait for
bhe big chance, do not neglect your
regular chores.

RALLY FOR GREAT CAUSE"

Republicans have always been more
liberal in the matter ofexpenditures on
account of the army and navy than
have the Democrats. 1t was almost
impossible for the propor ents of pre-
paredness" to secure adequate appro-
priations from the last Democratic con-
gress. It is for these reasons that the
Republicans are looking with suspicion
upon the present lavish program; an
nounced with the sanction of the presi-
dent, 1t is believed to partake of an in
sidious move to cause rally of the
people around Mr.. Wilson for great
cause" and to cloak the blunders and
shortcomings of the administration as
to many matters connected with, or
having no part in the European war

have been enforced upon the people OF
