Interesting Old Egyptian Letters.

Letter writing, fortunately, was
much practiced in ancient Egypt, and
there are quantities Of letters between
persons of all degrees of education
and written on all sorts of occasions.
We may read, for instance, the encour-
aeement and good advice sent by pa
rents to absent sons, or may recognize
familiar types of character in the an
swering effusions of children to pa
rents-the spoilt boy who scolds his
father for having left him at home in
stead of taking him to the capital; the
wel'-conducted youth. who complacent-
ly assures his relatives that he Is get
ting on very well, combining study
with recreation, and the prodlgal son.
who writes to beg his mothers for

HARD TO CHEAT FATHER TIME
Wise 10 the Man Who Appreciates
Value Of Punctuality, and Great
10 His Reward.

A young Kentuckian has lost a big
fortune by being 20 minutes late In
keeping n business engagement.
The cheerless old fellow with the
scythe always gets all that is coming
to him. And there is many bad scar
on our fortunes where he has had to
prod us up to the mark.
Time is cheap, and we are apt to
think we can filch 1t as we will. But
1t is always ourselves we rob, not time.
Maybe you can waste your own time
by being late in keeping engagements
and feel that the loss, II any, is your
own affair. But it is also the affair Of
the man you keep waiting. You waste
his time, too. If your time is worth
les maybe his Is not. He may con-
clude that his time Is worth more TO
him than you are.
In many cases 1t may not matter
much. But one never knows until af-
terward whether it matters or not.
And through false pollteness we are
usually assured that II does not matter
even when it does.
Only the idle and careless, whose
time is of least value, can afford to
waste it by looseness in keeping en-
sagementS.
II may be hard to acquire the fixed
habit of always being on time. but 1t
can be done, and 1t is worth while to
do 1t.
Great business men have this habit
Men of great affairs. whose time Is
most completely taken up. are usually
on time. 1t Is they who know best the
value of time and the Importance Of
saving 1t by being prompt.-Christian

At Canton, the oldest city in south

SAVE FOOD At SOURCE

Feed Beard Issues Special Call fer
Farmsrs' Aid.

Faced with the gravest food problem
that ever a nation was taxed with.
the United States Government,
through its Food Administration. has
issued q special appeal to farmers in
whose hands lie the greatest power
Of food saving.
From a harvest less in aggregate
production than last year the United
States must export IL million tons OF
food more than her normal. pre-war
exports. This means that out OF the
crops Of each average American farm
two tons more than usual OF food
must be sent overseas.
Before food can be shipped it must
be saved, and because OF the large
quantity OF foodstuffs stored in gran
aries. cribs and barns of farms the
farmers opportunity for food saving
Is correspondingly great.
