THE NEWSPAPERS

The newspaper is today the most
potent element in civilization. Its
audience is practically unlimited. 1t
reaches every class of people. 1t
penetrates to every hut and howell on
the farthest confines of human soci-
ETY.. The schools have an influence
and gather the children of the high
and low But after schools are out
grown, teachers forgotten, and books
mouldy and dusty, the newspaper is
still a constant companion.
No public speaker, be he preacher
or political orator, can draw an
audience of one-tenth that which
greets the average newspaper of to-
day, and thus the tone of the press be-
comes a matter of vital Importance to
the welfare of the community. The
influence is widespread and is also
lasting. Therefore we say, study well
the contents of the paper you are TAX
ing and if it contains that which tends
to lower the scale of morality and
humanity and not to the elevation of
that which is good and right, better
off are you by far without it.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.
HOME

HOME
The prince rides up to the palace
gates
And his eyes with tears are dim,
For he thinks of the begger maiden
sweet
Who may never wed with him.
For home is where the heart is,
In dwelling great or small.
And there's many a splendid
palace
That's never a home at all
The yoeman comes to his little cot
With song when the day is done
For his dearie is standing in the door
And his children to meet him run.
For home is where the heart is,
In dwelling great or small,
And there's many stately man
sion.
That's never a home at all.
Could | but live with my own sweet
heart
In hut with a sanded floor,
I'd be richer far than a loveless man
With fame and golden store.
For home is where the heart is,
In a dwelling great or small,
And a cottage lighted by lovelight
Is the dearest home of all.

This Bird Can Sew.

The tailor bird" of India is an ex-
cellent seamstress. When this bird de-
cides to build nest 1t chooses leaf
that suits It's purpose and perforates
the edges with its beak. Then 1t takes
n long piece of grass fiber and sews
the edges together. making a pocket.
If the leaf Is not large enough, it is
pleced out with another leaf. At the
end of the seam the bird makes knot
In the thread to prevent unravellng.
This pocket is not the birds home,
however, but only the beginning Of it.
The nest is made within the pocket.
The end of a slender branch is always
selected, and as the leaf retains its
natural color the home of the bird Is
concealed very effectively from ami
mails and other enemies of birds.-Peo-
pies Home Journal.

We have seen signs that indicate
that gambling of various kinds Is get
ting a foothold in the community. No
tice the effect of this crime upon do
nestle happiness. 1t has sent its
ruthless plowshare through hundreds
of families, until the wife sat in rags,
and the daughters were disgraced,
and the sons grew up to the same in
famous practices or took a short cut
to the destruction across the muir
derer's scaffold. Home has lost all
charms for the gambler. How tame
are the children's caresses and a
wife's devotion to the gambler! How
drearily the fire burns on the domes-
tic hearth! There must be louder
laughter, and something to win and
something to lose, an excitement to
drive the heart faster and fill the
blood and fire the imagination. No
home, however bright, can keep back
the gamester. The sweet call of love
bounds back from his iron soul, and
all endearments are consumed in the
flame of his passion.

THANKSGIVING

OF all Thanksgiving days in the his
tory of our country, November 2S,
1918, should prove to be the most
universally observed. Not since the
landing of our Pilgrim Fathers have
we had so much to be thankful for.
Other years we have given thanks for
universal prosperity and bountiful
crops. This year we can multiply our
thanks many times for the fact that
the greatest war in the history of the
world is practically ended and ended
right. Instead of reading a long list
of our brightest and best young men
who have sacrificed their lives for the
cause of freedom and humanity, we
shall soon be reading lists of those
returning to their homes and firesides
after having been discharged from
duties upon the battlefield of foreign
lands in a manner to make every true
American rejoice and give thanks.
Over two million of these young men
will soon return to their homes, They
may not be back to eat turkey with
the family circle on Thanksgiving
Day, but good old Uncle Sam will
provide a grand dinner for each one
which they can enjoy without fear of
a German bomb dropping on the ia
BILE. Verify, we should make Thanks
giving Day, 1918, day long to be re-
membered.

Nowhere is woman's character
more clearly shown, or her talents
given more scope for cultivation than
in home making, and in no sphere is
the true woman more content and
happier than in housekeeping. Home
is indeed the dearest place" on earth
when rightly made, and the memory
of which remains with us until death,
and will do more to protect and re-
strain It's inmates than the grandest
and most gifted ministers and orators
In short, home is the kindergarten OF
all Christian work and influence. the
starting point of all beautiful thoughts
and deeds.

SEVEN L0AvES OF BREAD
FOR EVERY PERSON IN
U. S. SAVED FROM WASTE
Farmers and Threshermen Patrlotl-
caIly Respond to Call Of Food
Administration.

From information received by the
U. S. Food Administration from the
principal grain growing states, 1t is
now possible to announce with fair ac-
curacy the amount of wheat saved last
harvest by improved methods Of han
ding. According to official calcula-
tons, efforts toward cleaner threshlng
saved fully 100000 bushels of wheat
with corresponding savings of other
small grain harvested and threshed In
similar manner. In addition, other
states, though unable to furnish fig
ures, reported greatly reduced harvest
losses.
The figure for wheat alone is equiv
alent to seven one-pound loaves of
bread for every person in the United
States and represents food that form
erly was either an absolute loss or
was recovered to only a slight extent
by poultry and livestock. While OPP
portunities I'm this branch of conserva-
ton were large, the quantity of grain
recovered surpasses early expecta-
TONS 1t is noteworthy also that re-
suits were secured principally through
voluntary cooperation.
No conservation measure of the
Food Administration, It Is declared,
has received more wholehearted sup
port than that pledged and rendered
by farmers and threshermen toward
reducing grain waste at its source.

IDEAS ABOUT AGE ARE WRONG
Writer Complains That World Thinks
of All Men AS If They
Were Young.

1t is the fashion nowadays to speak
Of q youth of eighteen as if he were a
child, and of man of thirty-five as
if he were yet growing. The ancients
had no such ideas, and it has taken
the lack of seriousness of the past
three or four generations to spread
them as they are. l often remember
with pleasure a reference of Guy Pa
tin-the charming literary physician
Of the seventeenth century-to NJ,
Lenglet, a man of twenty-six, pro-
fessor of rhetoric at the College d'Har-
court, rector of the Paris university.
Guy Patin says a man of twentysiX,
as he might have said a man of forty
six; there is not the least intention of
contrasting this mans years with his
high position. William Pitt was not
supposed either, to be a crude youth,
and the French OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
OF them men between twenty-five and
thirty-five-were never taxed with
immaturity.
We think of all men who are not
elderly as If they were young men,
liable to the mistakes of young men,
and this not infrequently leads them
to act as if they really were very
young men. But most lads of seven
teen are clear about their ethical code,
and who is there who has gathered
some experience, and has not found
that the possibility of foregoing the
cleanliness of their souls is more I'M
pleasant to them than to most of their
seniors ERNEST Dimmet, in Atlantic

The other two kept on. The danger
increased as they approached the top
Of the hill. Both of them were bleed

only thought was to do what they had

The cowl, or hood, was originally
covering for the head to protect 1t
from the lnclemency Of the weather,
and was worn by all classes without
distinction. Its ready adaptation to
conceal the features led to lts adop-

A very close estimate of the weight
of any block of ice may be ascertained
by applying the following method:
The volume of the zee in cubic nches
is obtained by multiplying together The
