ITALIANS AGAINST NEGROES.

furnishes the background for a peculiar
controversy between Italians and Neg

appears that the Italians, 80 they alleged
were fearful of the fact that the Negroe.
would work cheaper than they would
and for that reason. As they said, they
attempted to take the law in their hands
and onst the Negro workmen. In other
words, they went into drive them OFF and

HELPING THE CHILD.
Some Oonts For Mothers to Turn
Over In Their Minds.

Some oon'ts For Mothers to Turn
Over In Their Minds.
A few dont's might well be conspicu-
ously posted in many mothers mind.
Don't consider it necessary to sys-
tematically underrate your child. Your
adult friends will know you do not
mean it, but the child will not, and
probably more characters are weak
ened by the lack of self confidence en-
gendered by such process than by the
vanity which follows the silly brag-
ging Of overload parents.
Don't think that the mSment you are
alone with your boy or girl you must
find fault or endeavOr to improve the
occasion by little moralizing, no mat
ter in how loving a spirit This is the
hardest Of all, for no one is so anxious
to help child toward perfection as is
it's parent, yet it surely leads to an
avoidance of the moments alone to-
gether, which should be times Of hap
by condolences.
Don't correct the child before others.
Never mind if a well meaning relative
does say: my dear, 1 am surprised
that you do not show more force OF
character. Your children are suffering
from a lack of discipline" Pass the
matter over until you and the small
offender can have it out alone. If the
circumstances are such that it cannot
be passed over take him out of the
room.
Lastly, laugh often with, but never
at your child. This takes self denial,
but it pays. Make up your mind that
whatever others may say he can de-
pend upon you for quick, sure I'M
derstanding without bubble or joke at
his expense. This does not mean that
he must not take his share of harmless
fun. 1t is wholesome, and too much
sheltering would make him Oversensi
tive, but the mother who lets her child
know that she never makes fun OF
him will be surprised at the confidence
with which he relies upon it.-MOth

Messrs. Lewis & Heermans, who

down the high cost Of living by
planting field Of potatoes west of
the old town hall. are beginning to
think that they will have some task
for they say that the quack grass
| in their field is growing beautifully.
DR.. Lewis is now putting in his
spare time DISCRIMINATING the quack
but he says it seems to have con-
siderable more roots than the
| average tooth, and while he is con-
sidered adept in extracting molers,
vet he has been leaving root Of
two in extracting quack grass as
the field will show. Mr.. Heermans
has been too busy with other
matters and he has engaged q
Ilaborer to keep up. his eEd Of the
work. They say that their field
caused decided slump in potatoes
and when digging time comes they
expect to have enough to supply al
least two families.

Quoted. To pass this inspection the
rye must trace to and give the field
characteristics typical Of this variety.
Much of it is falling short OF the re-
quirements, but there will be several
thousand bushels Of pure inspected
Rosen rye this year II should be the
duty of persons who have anything to
do with these crops to see that every
bushel of the pure variety is used for
seed. There will be nowhere near
enough to SOW the 1926, 600 acres Of rye
planted in Michigan last year, but with
a variety available of such outstanding
ability as Rosen, we should rid the state
of common rye and as soon as possible
replace crosses with pure strains. Mich
igan is now the first state in the union
in rye production and if her farmers
take up the growing of this improved
strain with proper care we will before
long have the people Of all states COM
ing here for supply Of this seed,
which is so far superior to anything
else available in this kind Of grain.
"Chief among the reasons why Rosen
rye outyields all others are its greater
leaf surface, its thicker, sturdier straw,
and above and including all, its long,
properly fertilized and evenly filled
heads seldom if ever found on common
rye.

yield be sure you get seed that is
