Habit Of BEING Happy,

Keeping yourself reasonably happy
Is a duty that ought not to be shirked.
Science is telling US these days that
to get out OF the habit Of enjoyment
Is to get depressed In vitality and Wig
or. to weaken In efficiency and grow
old before ones time. There is moth
ing like laughter-not empty headed
laughter. but the intelligent, whole
some, kindly hearted kind-to keep
people young and fresh and ft for busi-
ness and the obligation of living. OF
course this is a prescription not easy
to live up to always, but there Is no
reasonable excuse for not trying TO do
It. Sometimes II Is Just about as
easy TO be happy as to be miserable
II one makes up his mind to II. and
there Is no doubt at all az to which
pays the better.-0nward.

I believe It is the natural thing for a
young man to have a love Of knowl-
edge for Its own sake and that where
this does not exist 1t Is a symptom of
mental excavation and anaemic state
Of mind. The need Of the world today
Is for men of mental virility, men who
know. and who because they know are
able to act
Aside from this need. 1t seems to me
that the very law Of knowledge should
appeal strongly to a young man. The
mystery Of the world about you In
which you live and where you are to
play your part In the worlds history Is
constant challenge.
There is only one kind Of strong man
In the world today-namely, the man
Of brains: but, you may contend. Is not
the man Of character also the strong
manf And my answer to this question
Is that no strong character grows out
Of ignorance or Is formed by habits Of
indolence.-John Grier Hibben, Presi
dent Of Princeton University.

which is based upon veneer and
shams. This culture is based upon
eternal truth and is sound because
it is bought by much thinking. No
true culture is bought without much
thinking and no contact is more con-
ducive TO real thinking than that
which an honest trained mind makes
with Gods great out-of-doors.
The modern farmer does not be-
wall his situation because he has
no room to grow, but rather laments
the fact that life is too short and
his ability too limited to meet the
great needs for service and lead
ership. This, in briefest outline, is
the program of The Modern Farmer.

and will not make for his greatest
comfort if the roads Of his commun-
ity are bad. He calls his neighbors
together and they calculate the ac-
tual cost they are put to every year
through bad roads; and they pledge
the difference between the cost Of
hauling over good and bad roads to
the building and maintenance Of
good roads for a specified period of
years.
This uncommon man in common
community the modern farmer -
is not satisfied with material gain
alone, but he cultivates his aesthe-
tic tastes and strives, in the most
economical fashion TO make his farm
more beautiful year by year. At odd
times he hauls gravel from the near
by creek, with which beautiful
drives are made from the
main highway to his residence and
between the different buildings. He
knows that paint and whitewash are
economy and full Of beauty and con-
tagion. II has been demonstrated
that the endurance and life Of any
wood structure amply pay for the
paint necessary to keep il covered;
and the neighbors are so inspired
with beautiful home surroundings
that they go and do likewise.
The truly modern farmer draws
spiritual and intellectual life from
the soil. His soul is stimulated by
his contact with plants and ami
mails. He rejoices as no man can
rejoice as he sees animal and plant
life responding TO his personal
touch.
There is a culture in farm life
that transcends the so called culture

In the present state administration.
Replying to your request for a
statement as to my attitude on the
pending prohibition measure. / desire
10 say that l regard prohibition as n
purely moral question and one which
ought not TO be involved In politics,
but rather should be determined by
each voter irrespective of political af-
filiation and solely according TO the
dictates Of his conscience. Neverthe-
less. the question Is a public one and
many voters feel that they have a
right TO know the attitude Of public
men on all public questions.
"In view Of this general feeling and
Of the further fact that the next ad-
ministration may be called upon to
make prohibition effective l take this
occasion to say TO you that l believe
In statewide prohibition and expect to
vote for the pending measure at the
forthcoming election.
"In the event of the adoption of
prohibition by the people, l promise
that II ! am elected governor Of Mon

force the law an! make IL effective.

Inspiration
Miscellany


Accuracy is not a faculty. II IL a
habit. A man schools himself to look
at things with a sharp, clear eye and
to remember what he sees without
anything being omitted or added. He
becomes habitually accurate, and with
out any special effort
On the other hand, men Of loose per-
ceptions and careless habits find It al
most impossible to be accurate, no
matter how hard they try. An idea Of
the value and method Of accuracy may
be gained from the following advice
given by Ruskin on the simple matter
OF reading a book:
You must get In the habit Of looking in
tensely at words and assure yourself Of
their meaning. syllable by syllable-nay,
letter by letter You might read all the
books In the British museum n you could
live long enough and remain an utterly
illiterate, uneducated person. but II you
read ten pages of q good book letter by
letter-that IL TO say. with real accuracy
you are forevermore In some measure an
educated person.
Young men and women who must
earn their living ought to realize how
much the habit Of accuracy advances
them In the estimation Of their en-
ployers. A person may lack brilliancy,
but II. within his limitations. he Is alb
solutely reliable he will always nnd
somebody who needs his services. Per
haps Il might be truthfully said that
nothing astonishes an employer like
man or woman who can be depended
on to do certain work with perfect
accuncy.-Rochester Democrat hron-
