to a dish set before an unexpected

there is limit to the producing oapsc-
ity of any food. Many farmers don't
get over eight pounds from bushel OF
corn: some get ten. The experiment
station may possibly get more. Farm
ers are not growing bushels or pounds
out dollars, and the boy should be
compelled to show the actual cost OF
production.
Character, however Is Of much more
value than dollars, and anything that
encourages a boy to slip one over
on his father or the experiment sta
ton. does the boy far more harm than
anything he can possibly get as a
prize can do him good. One of the
worst impressions the boy can get Is
that the winning is the big thing. 1t
is the playing fair that counts. The
boy who does not play a square game
of baseball needs watching. St!ll more
does the boy need watching who tam
pers with the rules Of feeding game.
for such il Is. Really 1t may not be
practical to conduct these contests
under regulations sufficiently rigid. II
so, then but little importance should
be attached to them beyond the slim
illus given to boys to try to do some
thing worth while. The boys should
not be permitted to deceive themselves
into thinking they have done some
thing which can not be done. Nothing
is worth while unless 1t is done fairly
and honestly.

BE FAIR WITH THE BOYS.
TWailace's Farmef.1

During the past five years. there has
been a widespread effort 10 interest
the farm boys and girls in farm activ-
tiles. The agricultural press, the col
legss, the national and state depart
ments OF agriculture, the commercial
organizations of towns and cities. and
public spirited business men Of al.
sorts have Joined in this movement.
Contests in grain judging, stock iudg-
ing, corn growing. pig growing, ON
ming and so forth, have been held all
over the country. Most liberal prizes
in the form OF cash, merchandise, inn
PIGMENTS. free trips to state fairs and
10 the ma tional capital have been hung
up as an incentive 10 the young folks
to take part in these contests.
The result of all this has been good.
The attention of the young folks has
been turned toward interesting things
on the farm. The opportunities OF
farm life have been presented in a
way calculated to really interest the
boys who before had given no thought
to them. All this is fine, and we have
no thought of saying anything which
might be construed as hostile criticism.
1t appears to US. however, that many
Of these contests are being conducted
In a very haphazard, careless manner,
and that, while the interest OF the
boys is enlisted. a spirit is developed
in some Of them which will prove dis
tinctly harmful. The spirit of rivalry
is strong in the average boy. He likes
a contest Of any sort. He goes in to
win-and that is commendable. But
it is of vital importance that he be
taught to win fairly. The doctrine OF
anything to win 10 thoroughly VIC
ious. The boy who is permitted to take
short cuts, who learns how to deceive
Inc Judges 8: c:e of these contests, is
very likely to develop into a man who
can not be trusted. It Is therefore OF
vital importance that these contests be
so conducted as to develop character
as well as an interest in farm mat
tiers. To that end, the rules should be
carefully thought out, and should be
positive and inflexible. Every contest
ant should be required to live up to
them. Disinterested judges should be
selected. men Of character, who Will
appreciate the importance of their
work and the double responsibility
which rests upon them. Measure
ments and yields and costs OF pro-
duction should be thoroughly checked.
Every detail connected with the con-
test should receive most careful at
tention. To do anything less IS grossly
unfair to the boys. Contests which
can not be conducted in this way
| should not be conducted at all.

ADVERTISING AND RELIGION.
rSjoux CITY Journal

Advertising for churches is becom-
ing less of a rarity than it was once
upon a time. Ministers and church
boards are coming to realize there is
no good reason why churches should
not reap the benefits of publicity as
well as theaters and department stores.
Prejudice against the use Of display
type that continues to exist in some
quarters is gradually giving way. and
the time will come when paid an
nouncements will be less of a novelty

AS a matter OF fact, what is the
time honored chnrch bell except an
agent OF publicity-and just as the
newspaper has supplanted the old
fashioned town crier, why should not
1t also, in measure. take the place OF
the old fashioned church bell? APP
pealing as it does to the eye where
the church peii appeals e.ly 70 the
ear, the advertisement in the news
paper reaches more people and carries
more information. The location of
the church may make some difference
to the prospective Worshiper-or its
denomination. or the identity OF the
preacher, or the subject Of the sermon.
The church bell gives no Information
along these lines; the advertisement
in the newspaper carries it all.
No doubt to some, advertising reli-
gion seems lacking in dignity. Yet for
years the churches have gladly handed
in their announcements for use with
out charge as news. What is the great
difference whether the announcement
appears in nonpareil or in display type
what the mysterious distinction be-
tween the news columns and the ad-
vertising column?
Others baik at advertising church

days of once upon a time. Yet many

Germany ever offered to buy canal

she would never be able to obtain pos

wives would refuse to sign the deed.
Without further and convincing evil
dence that Germany is considering the
rumored move it may be dismissed as
at all probable. She knows that the
move would involve either withdrawal
on her part or war. It is as tho the

LEAP YEAR.

Leap year is an act Of providence.
which is intended TO reduce the Wis
ibie supply of old maids. Providence
has performed many kind and help
ful acts, but when she freed woman
from the thralldom Of being obliged
TO accept the first bench-iegged sutton
who presented himself or go unwedded
TO the grave, she rose to majestic
heights.
Prior to the institution Of leap year
woman was wholly at the mercy Of
man. She was wooed with q club and
given in marriage in exchange for q
pair of long-horned oxen. Strange as
1t may seem. there were husbands In
those days who became dissatisfied
with their bargain and offered to trade
back, no questions being asked on
either side. Society today would
spurn a man who bought sprightly
wife with natural teeth for two milk
cows and then tried to exchange her
for an equity in a. second hand run
about. Society is willing to trade
wives for titles, but draws the line at
live stock, which shows how fast
civilization is advancing in this coun-
try.
Leap year is a living terror to old
bachelors who have been eating up
angels food cake and electric light
current at the home Of some fair
damsel for twelve or fifteen years,
without getting down to the real bust
ness of the meeting. There is no
sweeter display OF righteous retribu-
ton In this vale of tears than to see
a reluctant bachelor with a glistening
dome led to the altar by relentless
bride elect whose affections and
raphophone records have been toyed
with for years without practical re-
suits. The period Of courtship Is a
