CLINT Of humo>in his eye, and of wisdom
for the two are akin, tho one be the
gift of God and the other the, harvest
Of experience.
He spoke to her. a dishevelled mass of
Self-pity and helpless remorse, one Of
the kind that picks at a sin like a child

Far he C from me TO say a word that
might encourage any one TO evil, condone
heresy in the slightest degree, or Justify
imperfcction But the smooth polish Of
angelic sanctity is not for mortals To
be human is not the objectionable sin.
SO while may not say word for

Of flaws. For il is not by their strength
but by their weakness that human crea-
lures &c, their hold ON ono another.

than baby, that holds IFS mother in a

influence is but the child's sheer helpless

"A woman masters man because she

with ignorance that the divine hand is
reached out to help us Thus the Al

it is written. lie Is servant of all, for it is
ever the business of the strong to serve

1T is not the classic beauty in face

Encourage the Farmer
By Taking the Taxes Off
His Cultivated Land

Everybody is now urged to cultivate
the land
As We SOW, so shall We reap, is the
gospel held up for our edihcation.
Everybody is heartily in accord with
as much sowing as can be done and
hopes that the necessary reapers will
be forthcoming.
There is one thing which might op-
crate to encourage the professional till
er of the soil to use his greatest skill
and work overtime if need De.
This is to take the tax off Of every
acre of cultivated farm land.
There is no danger Of the farmer be-
coming too opulent. if this were done,
for he is not the one 10 reap the great
est benefit from his crops.
Due to his isolation, perhaps. or some
instinct in his being he has never been
much given to organization and has en-
deavored to 60 it alone in a world
which has steadily become more and
more organized.
What he could 90 by organization is
shown by the fact that he was able to
raise the price of his milk in the entire
city of Detroit, few months ago, thru
the Milk Producers association, which
comprises the large majority Of the
dairymen farmers within a certain large
radius of this city.
OF course, if the farmer had the or
ganizing ability possessed by the men
engaged in trades, he could do practi-
cally what they have done thru the la
Dor unions. This would initiate greatly
to the farmers advantage and should
bring about better conditions for the
public thru the greater production Of
food stufis.
Just what it would do for the ulti
mate consumer would depend upon what
could or would be done for the protec-
tion of the public after the food was in
the hands of the spectators
Could these be controlled by law in
such way that their profits could not
exceed a certain per cent the public
might have chance to satisfy It's hun
ger and wax strong upon the harvests Of
this big rich and naturally bountcous
land
The loss to the government thru the
exemption Of cultivated farm land from
taxation would be negligible compared
with the benefits which would accrue
There are other angles 10 this ques-
ton tthe labor problem is one), but let
us, first Of all, make it worth while for
the farmer to cultivate his land. He
might then be able to pay his laborers
sufficient TO make it worth their while
to stay on the farm, for if the laborer
is worthy of his hire, he must be paid
in full or he cannot Tee expected to 90
his best work

America Is not the land Of embroid'
cry, and she does not possess skilled
workers. Wherever it is done, the
work is expensive. Therefore our dress
makers and shopkeepers do not want
embroidery to stay in style, and our
mills would like ribbon to be used by
the mile, instead Of the yard.
The Americans say that this latter
will be done before the spring is over
and it is true that Paris has designed
quite marvellous ribbons copied from
antique designs, usually with garlands
of roses printed on coopred silk. There
are also gold stripes at the edges OF
colored ribbon, with roses printed or
the gold.

There is rumor that France and

1t Is possible that America is the ia

ers In this country have ardently
wished for definite fashions from Paris
that would feature miles of ribbon
used In any way possible to cover the

ribbon has been worked up in Paris

porters who represented factories that
