The 1917 exhibition of the Mt.

withstanding the war scare, which
kept many away, as the three
days of the Fair were the days
that the examination was taking
place. Those who were to be
examined did not come and neither
did the members or close friends
The show rings of stock were
extra good and the floral hall, al
though hardly up to the stand
ard, was very good.
The premiums awarded were as
follows:

The Story Of the Rose

sweetness; Unjust keep it for myself. will roll UP
my petals and zvthhoId my fragrance
But, behold the moment the rose tries to store
up its colors and treasures of fragrance, to with
hold them from Others. they vanish. The colors
and fragrance do not exist in the unopened bud
1t is only when the begins to open itself.
to give out its sweetness its life, to others that its
beauty and fragrance are developed
So human selfShness defeats its DUN end.
He who refuses to give himself for Others,
who closes the petals of his charity and Wtholds
the fragrance of his sympathy and love- finds that
he loses the very thing that he tries to keep. The
springs of his manhood dry up His finer nature
becomes atrophied. He grows deaf to the cries Of
help from his felIoWnen. Tears that are never
shed for Others to singing acids in his
heart
Refuse to open your purse, and soon you
cannot open your sympathy
Refuse to give, and soon you will cease to en-
joy that which you have.
Refuse to love, and you lose the power to love
and be loved. Withhold your affections. and you
become moral paralytic.
But the moment you open wider the door of
your Hfe and like the rose, send out without stint
your fragrance and beauty, you let the sunshine of
lite into your O,Vn soul,

Oil the Skin Also.

In describing the means by which
the Iiawailans, before contact with
civilized peoples brought about the
deterioration Of this splendid race,
kept their skins in healthy condition.
V. MacClaughey says in the Scientific
Monthly that they not only bathed
daily In the sea and In fresh water,
but oiled their bodies with coconut
oil.
Commenting on this latter practice,
the Journal Of the American Medical
Association says the effectiveness of
bathing Is well recognized today, hut
we fail TO realize the unquestionable
merit in the iniuuctlonS with oil that
undoubtedly confer Il suppleness and
pliancy to the skin quite contrary to
the extreme detergent action of the
