THnN
! What the farmers in the United
States are doing to make this coun
| try the greatest in the world is told
in an editorial in the Pittsburgh Press
| 1t reads:
From farms in 1914 the United
States produced yield worth &c..
100000 Could cotton have been mar.
keted as usual the total would have
been close to half billion more. Ten
billion dollars representing honest
work, Ten billion dollars untainted
money! And going mostly into the
pockets of the workers themselves,
with little reaching the purses OF
labor exploiters. The beautiful thing
about this great item OF our national
wealth, next to its cleanliness, is the
fact that it can be increased, indefi-
nitely by a more generous adoption of
scientific agriculture. In fifteen years
it has been doubled: and still, on our
new soil, we farm only third as eff
fectively as do many foreign peoples

But on his broad acres the tiller of
the soil can take and take again; and,
though he has to fertilize, tb., more
come war, come pestilence, come any
thing but conti1ent-wide drought,
here is broad base for our future
welfare, upon which we can build ex-
pandingiy land securely. The man
with the hoe Is, indeed, the best hope
of the future"

THE COMMONPLACE DAYS.
The climbing a mountain is anguish
full sore;
Each breath that you take, how II
pains you.
You cannot, it seems, take one little
step more,
But still-the excitement sustalns
you.
The climbing is hard, but the fight
spirit aid;
The struggles that weary and daze
Are the stretches OF prairie that have
to be made
The drear of the commonplace days.
The thrill of the battle, the shock Of
the blow,
Bring strength that will help us to
And sorrows the deepest that human
Bring friends Who will help US and
share them.
The anguish of parting, the pitiless
pain.
Are hare. but the painfulest ways
To travel are those that are calmer
That come with the commonplace
days.
I'll fight--when there's fighting that
has to be done,
And joy in the thick of the fighting;
And think of the time when the fight
shall be won,
The powers that irk M, despiting.
The thrill of the battle, the shock Of
the blow.
/ can stand, and ask therefore no
praise;
But-may | gain strength that will
help me to go
Still brave through the common
place days.

RUNNING 4 NEWSPAPER.

1t is common knowledge that every
one thinks he can run a newspaper or
a hotel, Uncle Isaac Stephenson of
Wisconsin, who retired from the Unit
ed States senate, found newspaper
ownership pretty expensive proposi-
ton according to the following re-
marks he made during the course Of
a recent interview:

talk much for the newspapers. |

DON'T USE SOAP
ON YOUR HAIR

When you wash your hair, don't use
soap. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali, which
is very injurious, as it dries the scalp
and makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsifed cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats soaps or anything
else all to pieces. You can get this at
any drug store, and q few ounces will
last the whole family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to
handle. Besides, it ioosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruf.
