HAVE A GARDEN.

(From the Ohio State JournaD.
Begin now to think of that little gar
den in the back yard, everybody who
has a backyard. Such a modest en-
terprise has much to do to restore
the harmony of life. If you don't get
a radish, a tomato, bean or a mess
of peas, you will get something great
er-pure air, sunshine, exercise, and
companionship with nature, which are
richer crop than all the truck in
the garden. 1t is a great thing to
watch things grow. They make
man grow, too; add health and
strength to every part of his body;
give him a clean conscience; make
him love his wife and enjoy her vic
tuals. Tending a little garden makes
a good citizen out of man; gives

HOW AGE CREEPS ON.

cleveland LEADER
When we were kids together, Jane
Can you that time recall?
And played along the shady lane
Beneath the naples tall,
You then were nine and l was ten,
And oft I'd say in fun
Just think, Jane-youll be twenty
when
l come twenty-one!"
But when 1 came to twenty-one,
A gawky youth and green
wonder how the trick was done
For you were just eighteen!
Then Turing fortune beckoned me
The world l wandered DER,
got home at thirty-three
And found you twenty-four!
And now I'm getting old indeed
These gray hairs make that plain /;
My flower of youth has gone to seed
Pray what's the secret, Jane?
I'm LOST know not what to do
o, cruel fate that's mine!
For 10, l am forty-two
While you're Just twenty-nine!

A FATHERS EXAMPLE.

mother writes to a Chicago news
paper complaining that over emphasis
is placed upon the neglect of child
rem by mothers who go too often to
movies, or attend cabarets or smoke
cigarettes. She boldly asserts that
more harm is done to little children
because the fathers smoke cigarette
and spend their time in cabarets
while fond mother spends hers over
the washtub) than ever has been done
or ever will be done by mothers who
are guilty of these things. Another
point which she makes in her COM
plaint-and it is worthy of note-is
that the best mothers cannot do much
for their boys without the cO-opera-
ton of the father. Summing up the
problem of rearing children includes
duties which fathers as well as moth
ers owe to society, and among these
duties is that of setting a good exam
pie in personal habits as well as in
making formal efforts tod irect moral

COWS MUSTN'T GET DRUNK.

Michigan's prohibition movement
is spreading. 1t has now reached
COWS.
The propaganda in favor of total
abstinence from alcoholic cOmmodi-
ties among Holsteins and Jerseys
reached the office of the state dairy
and food commissioner in the form of
letter to Commissioner James
Helme from a woman at Portland,
Mich. She informed the commission
er that COWS were becoming intoXica
ted eating fermented ensilage and
that their milk was injurious to ba-
bies, in that it created a taste for al
cohol She asked that an order pro-
hibiting farmers from feeding ensil-
age to cattle be issued.
Helme replied that he had been
feeding ensilage to cattle for twenty
three years and has yet to see a COW
made drunk on it or milk which could
honestly be said to be alcoholic as
result Of ensilage feed.

NOW I LIVE.

What though I die tomorrow? Now

Today, close-packed with opportunity,
Is mine! within whose span may
possess
Laughter and tears, mayhap, and in
one hour
Run the whole scale 'twixt joy and
despair
Warm sentiment life, know and love
thee we'll!
No dread of parting shall bedim that
hour
When all myself shall pass and be
dispersed
To join the spacious breathing of the
sky.
For to one Being kindred to my own
Today 1 have been all things beauti-
full.
To one 1 am the stars, the light, the
breath,
The music of the world, set forth for
him.
And l am witchery, and even woe
Woe of a quality akin to joy.
The thought of me is subtly inter
tWined
With twilight, and the wheeling swal-
lows cry;
With doorways dimly lit, and dark
ming fields;
The long roads ending and the liant
ern's CLEAN;
With little rooms adream beneath the
moon.
For [ am that by which he is reborn;
The dearness Of the hearth by candle
light;
The mystery wherein two spirits
blend
1 have the strange remoteness Of the
heavens
And yet the patient nearness Of the
grass.
1 will not waste one hour to question
why
This old enchantment should have
come to me;
Loves shining eyes looked braVely in
to mine
A moment since, and all my being
sang:
To-day is mine-is mine-and all is
joy!"

GASOLINE GOING UP.
(Madison Democrat.)

(Madison Democrat.)
Why is gasoline soaring? There's
solid reason entirely aside from all
monopolistic suspicion. For instance.
In 1910 there were 100000 automo-
biles in this country.
Now there are 2,500,O00.
A million new ones are added an
nually, while about On-fourth that
number are scrapped.
There are 100000 gasoline engines
working on farms and 100000 other
farms are waiting to buy engines.
There are about 100000 motor
boats in the country using gasoline.
The actual, bona ffde demand for
gasoline is increasing by leaps and
bounds. The supply of petroleum is
decreasing.
Before the war we were exporting
1OO,O00,000 gallons of gasoline annual
ly. Now it is 3OO,O00,O00 to 100000
600, or 80 to 40 per cent of the whole
production.
Indeed, should not prices ascend.

GOOD FRIDAY AND OTHERS.

Go, spend your penny, Beauty, when
you will.
In the graves darkness let the stamp
be lost.
The water still will bubble from the
hill,
And April quick the meadows with
her ghost;
Over the grass the daffodils will shiv-
er.
The primroses with their pale beau
ty abound.
The blackbird be a lover and make
culver
With his glad singing the great soul
of the ground;
So that if the body rot, it will not mat
ter;
Up in the earth the great game will
go on,
The coming of spring and the running
of the water,
And the young things glad OF the
womb's darkness gone;
And the JOY we feltwill be a part OF
the glory
In the lovers kiss that makes the old
couples story. John Masefield.

SYSTEMATIC SAVING.

That saving is largely a matter of
habit and that it should be the duty
of every family whose head has
regular work to save definite amount,
is the contention of writer in the
Woman's Home Companion, who thus
quotes James J. Hill: eff you wish
to know whether you are to be sue
cess or a failure in life you can east
ly find out The test is simple and
infallible Are you able to save mon
ey? If not, drop out, for you will
lose. You may not think it, but you
will lose as sure as you live. The
seed of success is not in you" So
much has been made of the saving
habit recently by the savings institu-
tions of this and other cities that a
concrete example of just what system
attic saving will do for person is in
stanced in the magazine article. A
man of twenty-five years earning $40
a week who will put SIS a week into
the savings bank at per cent, draw
ing out the total each time it reaches
the sum of $1,000 and investing it in
6 per cent bonds, will, at the age of
fifty-three years, have an income OF
$40 a week from his savings. 1t has
been the experience of many who have
saved by the small payment methods
in vogue for various FUNDS" that they
have not deprived themselves of any
pleasure or comfort and still have a
balance at the end of the year that
they would not have had had they not
gone about saving in c systematic
way.

a pretty big senator or congressman, ever so
able governor or cabinet member, but he looms
