Peace TO be won by conflict stern

Spring is the promise of Summers

earth has been garnered.

a crisis time: "Perchance In years to
come, 1t will please you to remember
these things"
When victory has come, and "this
winter Of our discomfort" has turned
TO Spring, not perhaps but certainly
we shall look back upon these days,
and rejoice in the fortitude and faith
which persevered and won for us and
ours, so grand promise of durable
peace.

the price paid for something the world

the whole world through, seeking for
his lost love. From every passer-by he
asked, "Have you seen Tamara, the
fairest of maldens?" To the wild winds
as they blew he prayed, 'Oh, find for
me my love-" but no answer came
until home once more in his own coun-
try he found and knew the lily. Fall
ing on his knees beside it he cried, "Is
it indeed, thee, o Tamara?" and, like
the sigh of the soft south wind, he
heard the flower whisper, ut is /, my
beloved"
Then, all his years of fruitless search
past, he clasped the blossom to his
heart and wept, and the flower, feeling
the warm tears of love, blushed rosy
with joy. But what was life to him
when she who made the sunshine OF
his heart was gone? So the merciful
gods changed him to a shower, which
ever and anon falls in refreshing rain
on the lilies of the Caucasus, and when
there is n drought in the land the
maidens gather the flowers of Tamara
and strew them over the fields, singing
as they 90 the song of Plini, invoking
his love that once more he may bring
the blush of joy to the petals of his
beloved.

THE LILY IN LEGEND
All Countries Have Woven Stories
Around the Beautiful Easter
Flower.

~ ALL the flowers that blow
there are few about which as
many stories are told as the lily,
says Gertrude NJ. O'Reilly in the Phil
adelphia Ledger. From all parts of
the world they come, weaving a fair
cloak of romance around the blossom
that surpasseth Solomon in all his
glory"
The lilies of Caucasus, for example,
change their color after the rain has
fallen, their white petals blushing rosy
pink at tlJe kiss of the shower, and the
peasants will not fail to give you the
reason, should you ask.
Long, long centuries ago, they will
tell you, there lived valiant soldier
who had one daughter, Tamara, the
most beautiful maiden the world had
ever seen. Fair as a lily was her skin
and bright as gold her long silken curls,
and all who saw her loved her for
her beauty and her charm. War broke
out in neighboring country, and her
father was called to arms. Long and
bravely he fought and ever by his side
rode his friend, the chief of nearby
castle, until one bitter day an arrow
found his comrades heart.
century-old Legend.
When the wayAwas over, he came
home once mortg bringing with him
Plini, n young lad, the son of his fallen
comrade. Between Plini and Tamara
a close friendship grew. She, as was
the custom of the times, had learned
to weave and embroider but further
learning had she none, so he delighted
in teaching her the songs of Greece
while he accompanied her on the harp.
Day in and day out they wandered to-
gether through the woods and fields,
gathering the flowers that grew by the
way, and together singing so that the
very birds hushed their melody to
listen. They were only children, and
their merry laughter rang through the
air as they ran and leaped in joy of
heart, but little by little they grew
more silent and as they walked their
hands would seek and find each the
others.
Then the nature of their singing
changed and sad, sweet melodies re-
placed the joyous tunes of childhood.
The harp sobbed and sighed with un-
spoken love and long, strange silences
fell between them. For months they
wandered thus, not understanding the
secret of their hearts, until one day
Tamara was claimed by the great chief
to whom her hand had been long prom
ised.
Too dutiful to refuse to obey the
commands of her father, too loving to
be untrue to her own heart, size knew
not what to do, so going out into the
mountains she prayed to heaven for
deliverance, and the gods, who hear
the prayers of those who trust, changed
her into tall lily, with petals white
as her fair skin and golden pistil that
shone as had her flowing tresses.
Years passed and Plini wandered

throughout the remaining months of

What determines the success Of
dairying! .-.. .-f: Z
Many things enter in that determine
the success of dairying, but the one
most important and fundamental. is
first securing dairy COW. One can
not succeed in dairying by milking
beef animals and one who attempts to
dairy with poor ANIMALS will, soone.
or later, fail and condemn the dairy
industry, while on the other hand if
one secures good dairy cows, feeds aud
cares for them well, he will be success.
full in the dairy business. If one de.
sires to secure good dairy cows. he
must either raise them or 20 into a
dairy section and there buy young
stuff, not the cows that have been
MIXED and found to be boarders, but
young, untested heifers. For this rea-
isong another shipment of dairy cows
will be made from Wisconsin. About
the same plan that was followed in
the last shipment of cows will be fol-
lowed in this shipment. That is, man
from the county will be selected to ac-
company Mr.. Nevius of the state dairy
commission and they will go back to
Wisconsin about the 18th of March
and purchase animals upon order.
Meetings will be held throughout the

DO YOU GO TO CHURCH?

The Hotchkiss Times published this
clipping from the Gentry (Mo.) Sen.
tinel, and it deserves wide circulation
"Sixty million of the hundred mil.
lion people of the United States never
go to church. The problem is worrying
church people and statesmen of .the
country. Of course it is a cause of
worry and no mistake, for a continu.
ance of this condition will finally
cause the destruction of the govern.
ment.
'Talking with churchgoer in this
town recently, we were informed that
the non-churehgoer considered he was
better citizen than the churchman
and Of course, looking at the matter
from his viewpoint, he saw no danger
to either society or the country. But
history records, and there are no ex.
ceptions, that religious neglect and n.
difference leads to lower standards uf
morality, which sink lower and lower
and sin gradually takes the place Of
righteousness, which gradually leads to
national decay and disintegration.
