In setting the table, no matter how
simple the equipment, there can be
a daintiness and care in it's arrange
ment which shows thought and ex-
presses love of the beautiful. No mat
ter how poor one may be, the air OF
neatness is always indicative of re-
tinement. A simple centerpiece OF
green, a five-cent fern or flower al
ways adds to the appearance of the
table.

BILE talk may be the means of shaping
their entire lives. Petty gossip, crit
icism, and time for general correction
in many homes, makes an otherwise
pleasant meal most uncomfortable.
Table manners should be taught to
children, but good example will do
much, with an occasional kindly cor
rectiOn.
Come to the table in bright and
happy mood, keep the conversation
in pleasant and instructive grooves.
One of our great educators always had
an atlas or encyclopedia and die
tionary in the dining room to be con-
suited during the meal when it was
necessary to use reference books. The
children from that home went out with
a broad and general education that
could never have been acquired from
books or college training.
In the tender years Of a child's life
impressions may be made, facts
learned without conscious effort on his
part, that will remain in the memory

FARMER AS MODERN ATLAS
Summer Fields Show an Astonishing
Small Number of Toilers Doing
Necessary Work.

Midsummer fields on separate farms
hold the material which later is to
feed and clothe all the people. One
sees farmers cultivating long rows of
corn, sees them putting countless bun
dies of grain in shock, sees them draw
ing interminable loads of hay from
the swath or windrow to barn and
shack; and when one looks at this
very particular and painstaking labor
in its separate units there is amaze
ment in noting how few men and
teams are engaged in accomplishing
the huge work, observes a writer in
the Breeders Gazette. They are so
few that in ten-mile stretch of farms,
viewed from the car window or the
highway, they will count up an aston
ishingly small total.
These men and teams work early
and late, under stress of weather and
the drive of simultaneous ripening.
These men and teams look lonely in
their wide apartness, and yet they are
actually accomplishing stupendOuS
cation, for the very existence of the
human family. They produce the food
that strengthens the arms that work
the purposes of the world" They grow
the cotton and wool which, after CIV
ing employment in its manufacture to
incredible numbers, clothes becoming
ly and in comfort school children,
busy men and women and all the idle
ones.
They are so few in the fields in the
hot days, and so huge is their burden
of responsibility that the story OF At
las bearing the world on his shoulders
appears not a myth but a true PIC
ture of the farmer with his burden
the farmer carrying the food ana
clothing of the world.
