"Puttind Off"

Give up the very unwise habit of
putting Off" Putting off will result
only in your giving up your good in
tentions. There is never any time like
the present, and no matter how busy
a woman may be, she can always find
time to show some little kindness or
extend some little courtesy that may
be the means Of cheering or strength
ening another around her less strong
Willed.
Putting off until tomorrow what you
could do today is a sure way to upset
things in general, for procrastinatiOn is
surely the thief of time. Before one
realizes just how it happened the days
have flown by and we have not ac-
complished one-half the things we had
intended to.
There is no time like the present,
and if we were wise we would use
every minute we are sure Of instead Of
putting OFF, until that future that
may not come.-Exchange

The value of the work cannot be
wholly estimated in dollars and cents
or even in bushels of food when food
is scarce. It has brought the boys
and girls close to the vital side of
life. AS an example of this, one boy
nine years old, sold from garden of
48O square feet vegetables to the
amount of $1O.82. Another boy rails
ed from single potato Fl pounds of
potatoes. In one district 46 boys
from the high school earned as farm
laborers, the sum of $3,368.21 and 81
high school girls earned in farm
homes $53O.25. In another part of
the state, a school garden of one
from it there was harvested 47A
bushels of potatoes, 5O1a quarts of
beans and ten bushels of other vege-
tables. In this school are some poor
children who are underfed. The
teacher is using the products of the
school garden to provide warm lunch
es for these children, the cooking can
be done in the school on an oil stove.
One district reports that only two
absolute failures were found among
the 297 pupils who enrolled for gar
dening last spring.
In several districts pig clubs were
organized under the patronage OF 10
cal banks which furnished the money
for the purchase of the pig and offer
ed prizes to the children having the
best success in raising their pigs. In
another district two high school girls
worked on the farm during the sum-
mer to supplement the shortage of
labor. This is typical of what was
done very generally throughout the
state. In still another district, the |
boys and girls were paid for their
services in the school gardens with |
meal tickets for school luncheons.
The products of the garden were suf-
ficient to largely supply the school
lunches for the year. In another
part of the state, lad of II years, a
victim of poliomyelitis, limped to his
gardens of a half acre each and ex-
celled in the care of them even
though they were nearly a mile from
his home.

= Making Life Joyous.

1t is not the great tragedies which
make life so disappointing. 1t is far
more the lack Of the world that might
perfectly well have been spoken, the
letter which might have been written,
the visit That might have been paid.
1t takes very little sometimes to set
life at the full again, and when our
hearts do leap with joy it is more often
than not because something old has
f1ourished again. Why hunt up novel
ties when by just touch on some old
spring the whole world will look like
a new world to someone you know ?
Is there one of US who does not know
two or three exact spots where he can
make that happen?

WHAT BOYS AND GIRLS RAISED
Vermont Young People Accomplish
Much i'm Food Production.

Reports of results of the food cam
paign conducted by the educational
department of Vermont have been re-
ceived from 81 of the sc superinten-
dents of the state and show the fol-
| lowing remarkable results. Sixty
one superintendent report 1882 pu-
pills engaged in successful gardening.
Forty-nine superintendent report
929 boys and girls excused from high
!! school to work on farms during the
spring and fall of 1917. The pupils
engaged in gardening raised 57,546
bushels of potatoes and 1925 bushels
of beans. At present market prices,
this has a value of over 100000.
Garden vegetables were extensively
raised, the nearest estimate based on
reports being considerably over 3d.
600 bushels. Reports as to canning
done by the pupils, show that in "a
districts, the boys and girls, princi-
pally girls, put up 34,723 quart cans
of vegetables and fruits. This was
naming 80 districts had kept no rec
done.
The actual number of pupils en-
gagged in gardening as a result of the
appeal of the state committee OF pub
lie safety and under the supervision
of the state department of education
was over $4,000, but the above report
is based only upon known results.
The efforts of the boys and girls
have brought to the state food to the
value of over $4,000 involving
money expenditure on the part OF the
state committee of $4,000 to which
must be added the sums OF money
raised by local committees. and de-
voted to the work Of the boys and
girls. This sum was also supple
mented by Miss Proctor, who paid the
expenses of a woman demonstrator
in canning.
The credit for the fine achievement
Of the boys and girls of Vermont lies,
next to themselves, to the school su-
perintendents of the state. Every
one of these superintendent returned
from the meeting at Montpelier, call
ed by Commissioner Hillegas and de-
voted himself ungrudgingly to this
special task of helping to win. the
war. These superintendent nave
toiled day and night, gone without
vacations, paid their own expenses,
and produced results. Seconding the
efforts of these superintendent were
the faithful teachers Of our schools.
They have invariably responded to
every call.

How ENGLAND Obtained Canada.

Acadia-now Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick-and the Hudson's Bay ter
ritory were coded to Great Britain by
France by the treaty of Utrecht in
1715. To be sure, Britain had an older
title to the Hudson's Bay territory by
reason of discovery and occupation,
and the territory came to mean about
all the Canadian West of today. Old
Canada-today the provinces of Que
bee and Ontario-were coded to Great
Britain by France by the treaty of
Paris, signed on February 10, 1903
By this same treaty France gave up
any claim to the Ohio valley and other
territory now forming much of the
central West Of the United States.

girl by Her Pleasant Words.

It was three days before Christmas
In many departments Of Bolivar &
Clark's great store girls with tired
eyes were trying, usually with pa
thence, to serve the neVer-ending line
of customers. In the bingham depart
ment, however, the clerks were having
an easy time. Few persons buy ging-
hams at Christmas time. The girls,
grown careless, were talking together,
taking it for granted that any chance
visitor to the department was on her
way to the silk department beyond.
SO it happened that two women
stood for several minutes in front of
the seerSuckers without being noticed.
Presently one of them walked across
to the group where Madge Hardness
was graphically describing the Christ
mas that she would have if she had
q thousand dollars to spend. Her
voice cut sharply through Madge's gay
tone.

She turned at once and began taking
down seerSuckers. She answered ev-
cry question distinctly; there was not
a thing with which her customer could
find fault, and yet her whole manner
radiated antagOniSm. When she took
the order she shrugged her shoulders
behind her customers back.

to fling the seersucker at her head.
I'd like to put her behind the counter
to wait upon herself. Wouldn't she
be a sweet one? She'd be fired at the
end Of the first day"
Just then the other woman stepped
up to the counter. She was q little,
whitehaired old lady, but there was
twinkle in her eyes. She smiled into
Madge's sullen face with a warm
hearted friendliness.
81 hope you won't mind my saying
it," she remarked, "but what pretty
girls you have at this counter! Old
ladies love to see them, you know"
For a moment Madge stared. Then
she began to laugh, and the old lady
laughed with her.
"Of course, I'd have to give you any
thing you want for that" she said.
"Of course" the old lady agreed,
twinkling again, 81 expected you to.
But all the same" she added, when her
order was taken and she was turning
away, ct meant it, too
"Taffy!" Madge exclaimed as she
went back to the others. But be-
Iieve she meant it. Anyway, it made
you feel good. Who'd have thought an
old lady like that would be SO foxy!"
The old lady herself was smiling as
she went toward the elevator, but it
was tender smile, for she really
loved girls.
