And as for the impression
that one little life makes upon
the ''walP' of the centuries. why,
you might as well stick your
finger into the ocean and expect
to see the hole you made when
you pull it out again.
Of course, it is a beautiful
thing this idea that you will
leave the world better when you
go then it was when you came.
But, just between us, as man
and man, you will admit that the
idea, beautiful as it is, is most
1y bunk.
We come on the stage of &C.
ton, arrive at our period of in
fluence, often after half of our
life is spent, and depart from
that stage often long before our
life is ended, and what Go the
few moments we spend Saving
the wind" amount to?
Our time and period in this

LEAVING THE WORLD
BETTER

So you think that you can
leave the world a little better
for your having lived i'll it for
a few short years?
Well, we have no particular
cause for disputing your right
to think that. 1t may do you
some good and it won't hurt the
world any.
But, when it comes to this
matter of leaving the world bet
ter for the few years that you
have kicked around in it, why,
we have our serious doubts.
You know this is an lawful
big" world when compared with
the size of one little individual,
and it has been spinning around
for such a multitude Of centur-
les that, really, a few years do
not amount to much.

And you get the full benefit of
that juice only by chewing Plug

world, when compared with the
ages that have gone before and
will come after, is but as a sec
ond of time compared with a
million years.
But in this twinkling of the
eye you expect to leave an i'm
preston upon this tough old
world that will, forever after,
make it better!
We congratulate you-but we
have our doubts.
No, the world is too old and
too tough and too Unconditional
for us to make an impression
on it that readily.
The best that we can hore to
do is to leave ourselves a little
better for having had the op-
portunity to associate with the
people Of the earth for few
short years.
The only improvement that
we can make, the only improve
ment that it is expected that we
shall make, is, purely, a per-
sonal one.
We can't make" other people
better nor can we make them
worse. All making in this sense
is an individual matter and de-
ponds entirely upon each indivi-
dual. We may assist q person
along certain paths, we may
help a career in one direction or
the other, but when it comes to
this matter Of making" each
individual will have to be his
own architect and builder.
But you may say that if you
help a person to a better and a
more useful career you then and
there make the world better for
your having lived. But not so,
what you have done is merely to
help make an Individual life more
like what it should be.
Life is an Individual PROPOSE
ton and you cannot get away
from the fact that each person
has to live it in his or her own
peculiar way.
The great ocean of humanity
will go on and on regardless of
all that we say and do.
Generations come and genera
lions go and each in it's turn
thinks that it is the most i'm
portant of all.
The fact is that the evils we
fight have been fought, in some
form or other, since the begin
ming. The improvements we
make are but notifications of
the achievements wrought cen
turtles ago by generations long
forgotten.

but the continuous now" is the
age in which the world lives.
The human life upon the earth
is a continuous stream, fed
through the source of birth and
emptying itself into the gulf Of
death.
The billions of particles that
compose this stream give it it's
volume and aspect; but the in
dividual particle is of but very
small consequence when consid-
cred apart from the whole.
Thoughts like these may make
us feel very small. May make
us feel as if we do not amount
to very much-and this is just
the naked fact of the case
when we consider our lives in
connection with the untold CEN
turtles of the worlds existence
and the countless multitudes
that have lived and moved and
had their being upon the earth
since time began.
But while we may thus come
to the proper realization as to
our own Importance, or lack Of
it, that fact does not, or should
not, detract from our desire to
make the most Of the opportuni-
ties, presented to us, for the day
and generation in which we live.
We should be anxious to make
the life which we, as individuals,
live contribute the full quota of
it's capacity to the general good.
Instead of aiming to make the
world better for our having
lived, we should paradoxical
though it may sound-first aim
to make our own lives better for
our having lived them.
Into the hands of everyone
born into the world, Providence
places a career.
That career is the personal
property of the individual his
capital, the material assigned
him from which to make his life.
The improvement Of this ma
terial, the finishing of this ca
reer, is the one important thing
for each Individual.
When each individual works
upon the improvement Of the
personal career assigned him
then it is that society will get
the most out of it's members.
If the Individual takes care of
his own career the world will
take care of itself-we do not
need to worry about the world,
our own little particle Of the
stream of humanity is quite
large enough to occupy all our
time and attention. Gunnar B.
Bjornson.

Put Mother, Not
Baby, on Bottle

You never heard this argument
before. We all know Mothers milk
is best for baby. But what to give
the mother to enable her to supply
baby. with a sufficient amount Of
nourishing milk is the problem.
We have found in hundreds of
cases that HEMO is a nourishment
that will increase the milk supnlv
and at the same time enable mother
to get much needed strength. Then
too, it is so appetizing and delicious
that it is welcomed at time when
most foods are not.

Helpful Hints for Motor
lists.

A bag of soft flannel is best to
keep inner tubes in. Tie the
mouth of the bag around the
projecting stem.
When putting on nuts and
bolts, it is an excellent prevent
i've of rust to rub on them a lit
tie graphite. When this is done,
you have taken out an insurance
policy against sticking nuts.
It's not advisable to use ordi-
nary paint on cylinder casting.
A thick coat of paint will pre-.
vent radiation. A paint suitable
for this use may be obtained at
most automobile supply stores.
Where rubber hose is used too
make connections in the water
circulation pipes with a gasoline
motor and has bends in it, a good
plan is to REINFORCE it by a brass
coil spr ng which is good fit in
side. This prevents any flatten-
ing at the bend and cracking, re-
sulting eventually in a leak.
If the bulbs on the electric
lights burn out quickly the
source of current may be toe
high. If this is so bulbs Of
greater voltage should be Sc
cured.

THE LATEST FROM THE WAR ZONE.
AS TO PEACE.

The notes OF the German, Austrian,
and Turkish Governments proposing
peace negotiations are expected to
reach the capitals of the Entente
Powers before Monday night. They
were forwarded from Washington late
Saturday by cable, and were not ac-
companied by any expression from the
United States Government, but it is
stated President Wilson has reserved
opportunity to add word for peace
in some way in the future. Transmits
sion of the notes was preceded by a
visit by Count Won Bernstein, the Ger
man Ambassador, to Secretary of
State Lansing the conclusion Of
which the Ambassador said they did
not discuss peace terms and that the
sending of the proposals without COM
ment on the part of the United State
Government was a matter for this
country to decide. The note to the
British Government probably will be
received in London in time to be
read before next Tuesday, when the
Premier, David Lloyd-George, was to
appear before the House Of Commons,
but it now appears unlikely that his
physicians will allow him to speak.

pense of the health, of the ami
mails.
No one who wants to put fat
on the hog at the least expense
and in the shortest time is going
to compel the animal TO stand in
a pen with his feet six inches
deep in mud and filth. Clean pens
and clean surroundings are too
important to be neglected.
Clear water is great help in
fattening hogs. Besides t h e
water they get in the slop por-
ton of their ration, it is surpris-
ing to see how much clear water
hogs will drink when given the
opportunity. We like to give the
water regularly three times a
day. All the animals will drink
at each time, and when we are
fattening hogs in cold weather
we warm the water enough to
take the chill off before giving it
to them.
Charcoal ashes and salt help to
keep the hogs in a good thrifty,
condition, and then of course
they make better gains. Our
plan is to mix a quantity Of these
and keep the mixture before the
animals all the time.
When hogs are being fattened
in bunchss-as is the case on
our farmland are not closely
confined in a pen, a concrete
feeding floor is the best thing on
which TO feed them. When du-
rability is considered no other
material is better or cheaper than
concrete.
We built a floor forty-eight
feet long and fourteen feet wide
and A inches thick on the south
side of a fifty-foot crib. The
ground was leveled off giving a
foot slope to the end where the
cobs and dirt are pushed off.
The same care was exercised in
getting a foundation which was
we'll drained. The size of the
timbers used for the form were
two-by-six inches, being we'll
staked on the outside to keep
them from springing. Outside
the form a trench six inches
deep was dug all away around
and the middle filled up to with
in four inches of the top with
gravel. Our object in digging
the trench was to extend the
outside edge of the floor below
the ground enough to prevent
water from running under it.
We find that a four-inch floor
is thick enough. This hogs
dining table is easily kept clean
with an old broom.
Those who feed their hogs on
the ground, compelling them to
pick their feed out of dirt and
dust, are not realizing the great
est returns from the feed they
give them. 1t requires only a
short time for a good feeding
floor to return its cost. A little
experience with one will con-
vince any hog feeder that it is a
wise investment.
