OUR PUBLIC FORUM
l---Introductory

Through the Press Service Of Agri.
culture and Commerce, the master
minds of this nation will be invited
to the public forum and asked to de.
liver a message to civilization. Men
who achieve seldom talk, and mon
who talk seldom achieve There Is
no such thing as noisy thinker, and
brevity is always u close companion
to truth.
1t will be n great privilege to stand
by the side OF men who can roll In
place the cornerstone of industry; to
associate with men who can look
at the world and see to the bottom
of Il; TO commune with men who can
hear the roar of civilization u few
centuries away.
Too often we listen TO the rabble
element OF our day that cries out
against every man who achieves,
Cruelty him" Mankind never has
and probably never will produce a
generation that appreciates the genius
Of its day There never will be a
crown without cross, progress with.
out sacrifice or an achievement with.
out q challenge.
This is an age Of service, and that
man Is greatest who serves the larg.
est number The present generation
has done more to improve the con.
dition OF mankind than any civiliza'
ton since human motives began their
upward flight The Greeks gave human
life inspiration, but while her orators
were speaking with the tongues OF
angels, her farmers were plowing
with forked sticks; while her phil
osophers were emancipating human
thought from bondage. her traffic

moved ON two.wheeled carts driven,
and ofttimes drawn, by slaves; while
her artists were painting divine
dreams on canvas, the streets Of
proud Athens were lighted by fire
brands dipped in tallow.
The genius Of past ages sought to
arouse the intellect and stir the soul
but the master minds of today are
seeking to serve. Civilization has as
signed to America the greatest task
Of the greatest age, and the greatest
men that ever trod the greatest planet
are solving II. Their achievements
have astounded the whole world and
we challenge every age and nation
to name men or products that can
approach In creative genius or mas.
terful skill In organization, the mar.
velous achievements of the tremend'
GUS men Of the present day. Edison
can press u button and turn light
ON multiplied millions of homes; Vail
can take down the receiver and talk
with fifty millions of people; Nc
Cormlcks reaper can harvest the
worlds crop, and Fulton's steam en-
CINE moves the commerce Of land
aud sea.
The greatest thing n human being
can do is to serve his fellow men;
Christ did IT, Kings decree II, and
wise men teach It. It is the glory OF
this practical age that Edison could
find no higher calling than to become
tho janltor to civilization; Vail the
messenger to mankind Mccormick
the hired hand to agriculture, and
Fulton the teamster to industry, and
blessed is the age that has such
masters for It's servants.

Mr.. Barney gives the following az
the best method Of handling straw
berries. raspberries and blackberries In
the home. The berries should be at once
emptfed upon plates and the berries
spread out so as to permit OF the free
circulation Of air. The plates should
then be placed in cool but dry place.
A shelf in the pantry is far better
place than on damp cellar floor. Ice
boxes in which the air is still and damp
is very poor place for berries.

five Of the districts seem 10 have lost,

people feel little elated at the nice
increase. Hampton, too, has made .
healthy gain.
