Farmers, Attention

DO not burn the corn stalks,
but turn them under.
At this season of the year,
there is a great temptation to
burn the corn stalks ahead Of
the pillow.
Those who know, tell us that
these same corn stalks are pound
for pound as rich in plant food as
barnyard manure.
If you are a one-horse farmer,
cooperate with your n%eighbor
and be a two-horse farmer while
you are breaking the land that
was in corn last year.

Commissioner of Agriculture.

been touched on by many writer's. He
would not wear a coat or tie with any
tinge of green in it. and he objected
to anything like a green wall paper. So

that n day when u lady whom he
knew very well came to see him in

wearing a green dress and hurried
away from her as quickly as possible.

Ready For Him.

The landlady noticed with u~nfeigned
dismay that her new lodger's fire con-
sumed more coal than she had been
accustomed to provide for it. She
mentioned it.
"Oh. yes!" explained the ingenious
young man. You see. l always place
the Jumps of coal upon the fire in such
a way that the grain of the coal is per-
pendicular-that, is running up and
down. you understand. 1t makes much
better fire. Nothing like a little sci
ence, you know"
The unimpressed female who con-
tracted for the supply of daily neces-
saries spoke in a hard voice that al
most stopped the lodger's watch:

INTERNATIONAL LAW.
Held by Authorities to Be Part Of the
National Jurisprudence

T1oio ny HutioTflcS W DO art OF tTto
National Jurisprudence
The declaration that international
law is at one and the same time both
national and international has far
reaching and very pra .,tical signifi-
canoe for the work of building a new
international order.
The courts of Great Britain, begin
ming with Lord Chancellor Talbot in
1888 and including Lord Chief Justice
Mansfield in 1764. have held that the
law of nations is part of the common
law Of England. Sir William Black
stone supported this doctrine in his
classic Commentaries. This doctrine
holds good as well in the United States
as in Great Britain, a fact to which
both Thomas Jefferson and Alexander
Hamilton bore convincing testimony.
In the lifetime of the present gener-
alton the United States supreme court
has held that international law is part
of our law and that, in order to ascer-
tain and administer it in cases where
there is no treaty and no controlling
executive or legislative act or judicial
decision, resort must be had to the GUS
toms and usages Of civilized nations

STORES IN BURMA.
You Can Make Purchases In Them if
You Try Hard Enough.

You Can Make Purchases In Them II
You Try Hard Enough.
You may walk through the muddy
old markets of Rangoon for hours at q
time or through the bazaar at Manda-
lay without any Of the salespeople tax
ing the slightest notice OF you as a
possible purchaser of their wares. The
dear little ladies sit crosslegged upon
long tables in front Of the high cup
boards containing their goods. They
are placidly smoking or chatting or
painting their faces OF braiding their
hair. They are not attending to bust
ness in the least.
It requires a great effort to get a
Burmese shopwoman (they are nearly
all women) to show you her silks, and
when at last she has spread her mer-
chandise broadcast upon the table and
you are reveling in the illusion that
you are living in the middle of a rain
bow, with a chance Of holding fast to
some of it's colors, she will ask her
price, which is seldom more than a
rupee too much, and will stick to it
like glue.
She is an indolent lady in many ways,
who loves a quiet life, and she has de-
termined that her most comfortable
course is not to haggle in the market
place. SO you may make up your mind
that bargaining and persuasion are use
less arts to practice in Burma. however
valuable they may be elsewhere.-Lon-
don Spectator.

"Well. that's good!' answered the

Just then the old lady took some pa

Prof. E. F. Pickett, in we'll
chosen words, paid a beautiful
tribute to the Father of our ma
ton, and said that he felt that
we owed just as much or more
to our own Woodrow Wilson and,
too, that George Washington
might now be called the grand
father and Woodrow Wilson the
father of our great nation. Mr..
Puckett's speech was much ap-
preciated by his pupils and citi-
zens. While the school sang the
Star Spangled Banner the flag,
which was presented by Hon. E.
S. Gambler to our ~postmistress,
Miss Berte Davis, was hoisted
over the p~ostoffice. This COM
pleted one of the most enjoyable
programs our school has ever
given.
