Few, If any, discoveries in the world
Of agriculture and stock growing
have been as important and far
reaching in effect as the perfection

years ago, but the farming world.

a vast deal of Showing" in the way
OF demonstration work was necessary
to establish its claims. Not much
real Roadway was made in exploiting
silo work in this part OF the country
until prosperity appeared on the
scene in the late ninettes, following
period Of the most woeful business
depression. Land prices began to
soar to unbelievable heights. Land
owners sat up and began to use their
pencils. They were UP against new
propositions. The man farming land
worth $3.50 or more an acre realized
that he would have to run things in
a different way to dig out even rea-
sonable percentage Of profit on hfs
investment 1t was altogether differ

silo enthusiast, and you may believe

ABOUT HYPOCRISY.

b Sincere About What You Say, Do
and Think.
Be sincere of what you say Of 9th
ers. If you. cannot think nice things
about them do not say anything ut all.
You should never run down Others In
your speech. so if you cannot praise
be silent. II you are forced to utter
an opinion about person You dislike
pick out the one point, you find to ad-
mire In that person and mention that.
Unfortunately it is all too seldom
that the. real hypocrite recognizes her.

including herself. This pharisaism u
one OF the &c0mallonest characteristics
Of the hypocrite.
1t is better to be blunt and outspO-
ken than to be hypocritical. The hypo-
critic may make more friends. but the
frank person knows her friends are
true You want your friends to like
you for what you are-not for what
you are not, but pretend to be.
The hypocrite parades her pretend
ed virtues before the world Self adj
yertisement is a model of kindness and
nobility is her pet labor. Her plausi-
bility is her best stock in trade. You
have only to talk to her five minutes
to know that she has two Bible class
es and is the most charitable member
Of her church. According to her, she
is constantly doing good. She will tell
you in one breath that she has only
love in her heart for the whole world
and in the next that Mrs. Brown is no
doubt a respectable woman. but that
she shouldn't be so indiscreet.
The awful part about the hypocrite
is that she can do more harm to q
girls character in one minute than "a
frank person can do in n year The
outspoken girl will talk to you against
person and you will know right
away that she. is talking Of some one
she greatly dislikes. You can tell, con-
|sequently. that her opinion of the per-
son in question is prejudiced by her
dislike and is to be valued accord
ingly.
But the hypocrite speaks very highly
Of the person she wants to SANDER.
Then she inserts a but and slight in
nuendo. Every insinuation is preced-
ed by factoring comment. The In

Keep Pantry Neat.

We all know how hard it is to keep
the pantry looking neat. The spices
md other articles lying around make
it so untidy. From your grocer get
three large, strong egg cases Nail
these firmly one on the other This
gives you six compartments. Now get
a ten cent can Of paint (any color you
want; then make Il curtain (dOuble)
and put on rod. In one compartment
have spices, in another all articles that
come in bags. like beans. rice, etc. This
cleans the pantry out and helps fill up
the kitchen.

to pass, through the state capital. 1t
doesn't make any difference what To-
cality is interested in making the
change il the point can be successful
ly made that the people living along
i the highway between Ames and Coun-
Gil Bluffs do not take enough interest
to keep the highway in proper condi-
ton for travel, the change will be
made unless something is done to pre-
vent it.
We should have Lincoln highway
committee in this county thoroughly
awake to the situation and ready at
any time to make any sacrifice to pre-
vent a change being made. We should
also have a committee made up OF our
citizens to make it a point to see that
any road coming into Denison is not
allowed to remain out OF repair even
though on account of storms bridges
may be washed away or on account
OF other causes the highway may be-
come out Of repair.
The best way to keep the roads in
repair is to have someone, the mo-
thing the matter with the highway,
see that it shall be Immediately re
stored to its proper condition. This
is Important to Denison and to the
business interests of Denison, and it
is worth while that most sdiligent eff
forts should be made to insure the
highways being kept in proper condi-
ton for: travel. We dislike to com
plain and would not do SO if tourists
and others did not report the unsatis.
factory condition OF the Lincoln high
way.

representative Hay of Virginia, chair

that he opposes an enlargement of
the army, that he believes it unneces-
sary and costly, and that he thinks
the country is by no means devoid Of
defence now. His language also leads
to the inference that he is peeved be-

soldiers to man them. He regards the
present pressure for adequate military
preparedness as newspaper clamOr,"
and he strenucusly refuses to be
swayed by it.
In this, Mr.. Hay is more consistent
than is the President, who has been
clearly moved by newspaper clamcr'
and who is making virtue of ne
cessity by trying to plan for a new
policy. At heart, we have no
doubt, the President thinks exactly as

route of all good pitchers: that he was

share their gloomy views. He admit
ted he was bad, but said he would be
as good as he ever was. With the ad-
vent of baseball weather what Matty
predicted came TO pass. On his fifth

first win Of the season. That he will
win many more is as sure as fate, and
that he will again be the mainstay of
