Throughout the old and new tes-

to the Importance of right founda-

firm foundations; so must action,
character, disposition and destiny.

AS the basis for this four-fold
development he gave the following:
personality must rest upon in
telligence. conscientiousness and
moral activity. The moral activity is
demanded in this age requiring
practical results in life.
Society demands intelligence,
culture and human sympathy prop
erly blended in social activity.
THE civil duty demands intelli-
gence, loyalty. honesty and honest
obedience to law expressed not on
" in patriotic love of country but
in full discharge of duty to pre-
serve and defend the state.
Religion demands intelligence,
worship and service Of the highest
possible order in harmony with
some organized plan so as to gain
the best results in the uplifted life"

From a position of comparative ob- scurity Seattle has leaped to second place as t world market for fine furs. and the next sale, which will be at ,ended by buyers from the east. Will be held in the warerooms of the Seat . tie Fur Sales Agency. at 3l Powles building. April 25. says the P.-I. of Apri, IA. The richest offerings from Alaska and British Columbia. consisting of sil- yer fox. red fox, lynx. cross and blue tox. mink. marten. otter, wolverine, ermine. muskrat. wolf. bear. coon. coy ote and skunk. will be placed on sale. subsequently open selling will be car ried on about once Q month through the summer.
 CHEAP SOUTHERN OFFERINGS.
 Seattle furrlers, say that much glory has heretofore gone to St. Louis as a fur market. principally because of It's position as the big center for muskrat and other cheap southern offerings, which runs Into 100000 belts season. The proportion of rich furs sold in St. Louis, however. Is much smaller than In New York and Seattle. which occupy arst and second places. respectively, in the volume Of business done In Amer ica.
 The European war has operated to shift the buying center of furs from Lonti.n to the United States, where a demand for all that can be produced has been created.
 BASES OF FOREIGN MARKETS
 Formerly these furs had to be sold in the wealthy European capitals In ,-der to effect proper balance between demand and supply. But commercial adjustments have now projected Seattle into the leading centers of the world as a supply station.
 Uptil the last two or three years nc fur sales of importance could bs held

in Seattle until after the opening of navigation in the north when the first vessels southbound brought in the furs. Now shipments in steadily increasing lots are brought to market by parcel post, and wholesalers here expect to hold sales every month in the year.
 Thc Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce will make an appeal to the government to have the pig sale of Pribilof island furs con ducted through the Seattle market in- stead of St. Louis, where these furs are sold at present. This decision was made recently following an address to the executive committee of the bureau by F. W. Woodruff, manager of the se- attle Fur Sales Agency, at luncheon in the Arctic Club.
 It would be much more economical for the government to handle It's furs through Seattle" said MT. Woodruff. ''as the Seattle market is the center for all independent high grade furs and Is always assured of 8 representative set Of buyers''
 MT. Woodruff told the bureau man that In the ten years of It's existence the Seattle Fur Sales Agency has sold more than $2.oO0000 worth of furs and that its annuyal business Is now almost s35O. GOO

LIGHTING THE FARM.

One advantage city jewellers have
had for rs years over those that live
in villages and on farms has beer
In the matter of lighting the home.
Brilliant electric and gas lights have
been q striking contrast as against
the pale light Of the ordinary oil lamp.
But the farm home and premises
can be a. brilliantly lighted, nova
days, as any city home. Acetylene
gas lights, gasoline vapor lights, and
small electric light plants. are eff
ciently satisfactory and a be made
to give the same lighting and other
service in the country that electric
and gas plants render in the city.
The experimental stage with such
outfits IL passed. Their value hal
been proved and is generally n n
The number of rural and village
homes. churches, school houses ant
stores that are being equipped Will
these small lighting plants is increas
ing marvelously.
Az to what sort Of a system :
called for In any given instance ioca
conditions must govern. In some tn
gasoline vapor system would be bes'
in others acetylene gas should D
used, while In still others nothin
should be considered but q sma
electric light plant.
The expenses Of any OF the sy'
TENS Is not at all prohibitive. An
farm family that owns a fairly we
equipped farm can afford a bette
system Of lights than the old III"
OIL lamp. And It will last a life lin
is inexpensive as to upkeep and o
Grafton, and will be a perpetual s'ur'
Of satisfied living to the entire iar
