Personality,

What widespread and far-reachin1 effect personality has in the affairs ot men. We hear 1t given as wide 1 range of definition as there are kinds of people. An agreeable personalit, and vice versa; a personality that is stupid or intelligent; gracious or churl. lsh; overbearing or yielding; self-willed and oblivious of the rights of others or tolerant and reasonable; selfish O, unselfish; conceited or modest thoughtful or minimizing; these a!M many others are samples of vast va. rtety of habits of mind and manne, from which every person may choose as they desire. But every person should remember that their persona! bearing toward their fellows has a vast deal to do with their success in life. We rise or fall very often ac. cordlng to the estimate given to ou, personality by those about us. Wha, is called "tact," which is but an abbre viation of the word contact, is the out. come of our personality. We mold and shape our personality very much by the amount of contact we have witb our fellow beings.-Jeffcrson County Union.

provide healthy competition and make use of land which otherwise would go to waste.
 It would be well for other states to emulate the example of North Carolina in this good work.
 We are constantly receiving les sons in thrift from the war-stricken nations. France has appointed National Board of Supervision, presided over by Armond Falliers, former President of the French Republic. This board, which is nothing more or less than thrift cabinet, will be invested with large powers in an effort to stop waste, and compel people to economize. Shops will begin closing at 6 p. m. and restaurants and cafes, which are now compelled to close at l0:30, will have to close their doors an hour earlier. Theatres and op- eras will be closed on Mondays, moving pictures on Tuesdays, and music halls on Wednesdays. The board of supervision may name ad- dit;ona' closing days to reduce the consumption of coal for lighting.
 These facts should be extremely significant to Americans.

Plan for King Road Drag.

comments that answer a part of this
oft-repeated question as follows: 1.-THE
earth road cannot, by any system of
maintenance, be kept up throughout
the entire year to the usual standard
of the other types. The use of the road
in a wet and sOftened condition is
what causes the trouble. Under the
conditions where the earth road is a
suitable type, it's total cost for con-
structiOn and maintenance is less than
that of any other type. In dry weather
and when it is not too dusty, the prop
erly constructed and maintained earth
road is by far more pleasant and more
satisfactory to travel upon than any
other road. With neglected MAIN
tenance, however, no other type of
road can go to pieces and become i'm
passable so quickly as an earth road.
Nor, on the other hand, can any other
type be brought to q satisfactory con-
dition for travel so quickly and so
cheaply after having been impossible.
From these peculiar features, it. will
be noted that practically the entire
problem with earth roads is their
proper drainage and systematic MAIN
tenance. The opportunity for better
ing our road conditions by properly
improving the earth roads is almost
beyond our Imagination"

ARTISTIC ARRANGEMENT
OF FLOWERS IN HOME
BY e. VAN BEN1HUYSEN.

Dark corners of a room need light
ing up, and light-colored. brilliant
flowers never look so well as when
standing out against half light. yell
low is an exquisite bit of color for
such a corner.
Let all the flowers and foliage for
home decoration be fresh. and how
ever simple their form, they are love-
ly, not only as graceful objects but as
suggestive of something more beauti-
full still.
Avoid fantastic colored or shaped
vases. The simple beauty of the flow
ers is lost in such a holder. Clear
glass and the soft greens Of Bohemian
make are most useful receptacles. Let
the lines of the vase or bowls be
simple and flowing and however cheap
the substance of which the vase is
made we shall not err.
Strive to produce the effect of the
flower when growing, and the error
of cutting off the lovely gray-green
stalks of daffodils and examining them
into a fat dish, or putting handful
of violets in a tube specimen glass
will be impossible.
There are many little contrivances
nowadays that help wonderfully in the
attractive arrangement of flowers The
little Japanese frogs with holes in
their backs that sit fiat in the bottom
of a bowl and hold out primly and
gracefully a few precious stalks of
bloom are to be had for few cents
and are well worth all they cost.
With such an arrangement three or
four daffodils with their golden glow
can bring a bit of sunshine into q
Treary room and add beauty that an
armful Of exquisite roses crammed
into an ugly vase could never give.
Color harmony in flower arrange
ment should be well thought out, not
only with regard to the relative posi-
ton of one flower with another. but

WHITE DIkRRHEA IN CHICKS
Trouble Is Caused by Bacteria-Sour
Milk Has Discouraging Effect
on Disease.

II has been determined that the
white diarrhea in chicks is caused by
bacteria, and, if thoroughly done. dis
injecting is preventive-with one
exception: Investigations by authori-
tative sources have developed the fact
that bacteria has been found in the
Ovaries Of hens and in the yolks of
the eggs. In this event there is no
help so long as the same stock is
kept.
There is no positively known cure.
Sour milk has been found TO have a
discouraging effect ON the disease IL
given to the chick from the first. Burn
ing litter, spraying the poultry sur
roundings with strong disinfectant
and waging war generally, just as you
would if 1t were some parasite that
you could see, is about all that can
be done.
The disease is the worst where
chickens are raised In large numbers.
