Parents, What About
 John?
Rv JUpeE WILLIe BROWN.

By JUDGE WILLIS BROWN
 When your son John graduates from the grammar school and shows you his certificate which entities hlm to enter llgh school with an average of 05 don't imagine that this condition Is an abso- lItc mark of education.
 Some boys and girls have wonderful memories, and, as examinations arc lrgely memory tests, a high passing uark may be no more than an indica- { on of good memory.
 If John has never accomplished any thing worth while in the manufacture of anything useful, if he has cared for 10 animals nor raised enough Yegeta- lies to supply a family, cannot care for, clean and repair the furnace or mothers sewing machine, cannot build chicken coop and care for chickens properly, never built a boat in which Ie could skim the waters-in fact, has ever used the Information which he uemorIzcd in the schoOl-then he is not educated.
 It seems that you, the parents of John and Susie, had better test the ed ucational system and Its efficiency on your children by ascertaining whether or not the information gleaned in the schooIroom can be utilized now by yOur children.
 If your boy John cannot or will not accomplish anything do not at once blame the school but discover that you have a rather useless son. Please
 do not excuse him because he Is only | boy.
 If John is really active and likes to
 do and really does things in play and
 where others join with him he can do something worth while, and you should | put him in the modern game of achieve uent,
 Every parent who reads this, if you | have children, turn and ask them what
 rhev have done worth while. Then
 see If there cannot be something de-
 vlsed which will put them in the aris- l Locracy of labor.
 No girl or boy knows what real fun
 s until he enjoys something which le himself has made or is responsible 3Or
 This is tho only way you can disco7-
 or what your boy or girl is really worth.

WHYIT SUCCEEDS
  Because It's for One Thing Only, and Thousands of People
 Appreciate This.

Nothing can be good for every thing.
 Doing one thing well brings sue ceSs.
 Doan's Kidney Pills are for one thing only.
 For weak or disOrdered kidneys.
 Here Is reliable evidence of their worth.
 Mrs. J. B. sams, Union, Ore, Says: "I was bothered for at Ieast twenty five years by attacks of kidney trouble ard I didn't seem able to get relief. My back was terribly weak and ached so greatly that 1t was hard for ne to get out of a chair. When did sharp twinges darted through me, and had to help myself up. The kid1ey secretions gave me great annoyance, too. Doan's Kidney Pills greatly benefited me. An other or my family has used Deans Kidney Pills, and thinks highly of them"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs, Sans had. Foster-MilDuFn Co.,, Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

Day after day Hiram and the goats worked fin that field of corn. Every day after school the old blow scratched the soil. Of course the stalks grew, and by and by the corn appeared. Hiram kept on working the soil over and over. When the crop was harvested and co1npari- sons made with the other boys Hiram vas the winner and carried of the prize.

 Hiram came homo from school one day very much excited. A man had told the boys about a corn club, and 1t was the intention to organize a boys corn club in the school. Rewards would be offered to the boy who raised the greatest number of bushels of corn on an acre of ground.
