MIR. Starr, a widower Method
list minister, has been assigned
to the congregation at Mount
Mark, Iowa. He and his daugh-
ter Prudence-she is nineteen
and the eldest Of five girls-have
come on ahead to get the new
parsonage ready for the younger
members Of the family. OF
course the whole town, espe-
cially the Methodists, is very Gu
rious about the newcomers. In
diVidual members Of the Ladies'
Aid society drop In upon the
family and pump" the girls for
all they're worth. But the STAIRS
rapidly adjust themselves to
their new surroundings, and the
father decides his brood Is old
enough to participate in family
prayers. Little Connie has Just
finished hers - much to the
amusement Of her elders.

 Owing to the pastor attending the district meeting, we had no services in the morning. Bro. Allen Brady, our superintendent having made arrange ments with Mrs. Ada KelIe to come out and make pictures of the school.
 B. Y. P. U. met at ' o'clock and rendered a very interesting program, subject was, "What God will have us be-" Leader, Mrs. Jessie Nix. Ow- ing to the fact that Bro. Jessie Nix, our president of the B. Y. P. U. has
 enlisted in the Hospital Corps, he rendered his last services for a while and possibly forever. Pathetic talks were made by Bro. Nix, Nusko, Fitz- huge, and Goodman. While it grieves our hearts almost beyond human en- durance to give our young men up to this great call of our Nation, we are trying to bow in humble submission, and say: "Thy Will be Done 0 God, not ours" There being special program prepared by the little folks for benifit the orphanage, Bro Fitz- hugh gave brief history of the home after which the little tots rendered their program which was we'll gotten up and much enjoyed by large audi ance at the close, collection was. taken which amounted to $2.50 making a total for the day of $10.O0.

GROWING a Character

Character is what you are. Repu-
tation is what folks think you are.
Sometimes they are so we'll balanced
that you can't tell one from the 9TH
er, says Grit. But more often the one
is libel on the other. Folks exalt
virtues that do not exist and condemn
follies that are purely subjective and
personal. Much depends on who re-
ports you. Friends are always chart
table and interpret our lives to best adj
vantage Enemies can see no good In
us and report as they see. So repu-
tation may flatter or condemn. Not
so with character. This is something
beyond external observation. 1t is the
life itself as lived amidst its motives
and obstacles. Few people can know
its real value, for even you do not al
ways know just what you are capable
Of being until the emergency demands
display your worth. What you are In
the face of severe testing is character.

University EIInntinns

What is the matter with our univer-
sites is that all the students are
schOolboys, whereas it is of the very
essence of university education that
they should be men, writes George
Bernard Shaw. The function of a uni
versity is not to teach things that can
row be taught as well or better by
university extension lecturers or by
private tutors or modern correspond
ence classes with gramophones. We
go to them to be socialized; to acquire
the hall mark of communal training
to become citizens Of the world in
stead of inmates of the enlarged rab-
bit hutches we call homes; to learn
manners and become unchallengeable
ladies and gentlemen. The social pres
sure which effects these changes
should be that of persons who have
faced the full responsibilities of adults
as working members of the general
community, not that of barbarous rab-
bic OF half emancipated schoolboys and
unemancipatable pedants.

RABBITS FOR MEAT
Elaborate Lists of Foods Rec
commended for Animals.
CRUSHED OATS ARE FAVORED
Cornmeai, Barley and Other Grains
May Be Given by Way of Change
Green Feeds Are Highly
Important in Winter.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The rabbit thrives well on a diver
Sity of vegetable foods. Many writ
ers on the care of this animal prescribe
elaborate lists of foods to be followed
week in and out. The fact is that a
few staple foods are sufficient, but no
animal is more adaptable to sudden
changes of diet; so that one can feed
what is available or cheap, the idea be-
ing to produce weight with the least
possible outlay of money.
Grain and Hay.
The best grain for rabbits is oats,
either whole or crushed, though corn
meal, barley, or other grain may often
be fed by way of change. The crushed
oats are best when freshly broken, and
hand mill for preparing them is a
valuable adjunct to a rabbitry.
Hay is necessary part of the rab-
bits diet, and if possible that of the
very best quality should be used. 1t
should be entirely free from moldness,
and the unSweated is always prefer
able. If one has small grounds where
suitable grass grows, the moving may
be done at short intervals and the hay
thoroughly cured in such small guam
titles that no sweating takes place.
However, if sweet hay is not available
the sweated may be fed to the rabbits
without injury, unless it be moldy.
Green Foods.
Rabbits require some green foods
for winter. Cabbages, kale, spinach,
and rape leaves are recommended.
Turnips, beets, and mangels are often
fed and have been recommended by
many rabbit breeders, but they do not
keep so we'll as the foods just named.

MATCHED HORSES IN DEMAND
Decided Advantage In Having Animals
of Same Conformation, Color and
Pulling Power.

If you own a good draft horse, be
on the lookout for another like him.
There is a decided advantage In hav-
ing a matched team of draft horses,
especially when it comes to selling
them on the open market. There is
an increased value Of from % to 40
per cent in a team that is perfectly
matched as to color, size, confOrma-
ton, and pulling power. A matched
team is not only more attractive in
appearance, thus furnishing an asset
to the city buyer, but they are actu-
ally more valuable from the stand
point of efficiency.
1t is far better tC have teams TO
sell rather than single animals, as
good matched teams will usually
bring far more than the individuals
will sell for separately. In selling
horses it should be remembered that
the buyer is guided first by appear
ance which includes amount Of flesh
and grooming and 1t is only after
purchasing that he learns efficiency.

DON'T BURN ASPARAGUS BED
In Regions Where Severe Freezes oc-
cur Cutting and Burning Should
Not Be Practiced.

In many sections the asparagus
plants are cut down as soon as the
berries turn red, and after drying
sufficiently they are burned to destroy
any disease germs or insects that may
be present. In regions where severe
freezes occur it is doubtful whether the
cutting and burning Of asparagus tops
Is advisable. The old tops hold the
snow and prevent deep freezing and
the blowing of soil. Some growers
thoroughly harrow the bed after the
tops are removed, others throw a
slight ridge over the row, but ridging
is not necessary unless there is danger
of injury by severe freezing during the
winter. Where land is inclined to
wash, cultivating and Riding In the

CALLS BOYS TO THE C0LORS
President Wilson Asks All Between
Ages of Sixteen and Twenty-One
to Join Working Reserve.

Young men of the country between
the ages of sixteen and twenty-one, not
now employed, are called upon by
President Wilson to serve the nation
by joining the United States Boys
Working reserve. In a letter made
public by Secretary Wilson of the la
Dor department, the president says 1t
is the patriotic duty of these young
men to use their spare time in produc-
tive work and help support the nation
in the present Crisis. The presidents
letter follows:
Permit me to express my great ap-
probation of the great work underta-
ken by the United States Boys Work
ing reserve of the employment service
of the department of labor. To give to
the young men between the ages of six
teen and twenty-one the privilege of
spending their spare time in productive
enterprises without interrupting their
studies at school, while their older
brothers are battling in the trenches
and on the seas, must greatly increase
the means of providing for the forces
at the front and the maintenance of
thoes whose services are needed here.
1t is high privilege, no less than
patriotic duty, to help support the ma
ton by devoted and intelligent work In
this great crisis.
''Let me express the hope that the
young men of the country not now per-
manently employed may eagerly enter
the Boys Working reserve to fit them
selves by training and study for good
citizenship and productive service. In
this way they can show themselves
worthy Of patriotic fathers who have
fought for democracy in the past, sus-
tain their patriotic brothers who are
fighting for it today, and command the
affectisnate pride of the brave mothers
who are silently bearing the burdens
at home"

Indian Summer

The term Indian summer" is ap-
piled to period of mild, open weather
that comes in the fall, embracing the
most of October and sometimes ex-
tending into November, and character
lied by sort of dry mist or haziness
that differentiates it from other sea-
sons OF the year. What causes the dis
tinctive features of the season, espe-
cially the hazy atmosphere, is I'M
known, and the origin of the term
equally so. Different explanations
have been given of both. but they seem
TO be largely fanciful
