City folk seldom hear about a great

r%icultural America. These clubs will

Try something like $4,000, 900 this

ly to pig and the girls are strong on
poultry, though there are boys corn
clubs, boys calf clubs, girls canning

clubs.
The original idea of this boys and
girls club movement was to interest
the farm children in farming. 1t was
to keep them on the farm. The key
was In giving them a chance to earn
money of their own. The object
aimed at has been attained. over
100000 girls and boys are members.
They will mako better farmers and

Right now. they are increasing our

HURRY AND HEALTH

Don't hurry. 1t Years the system
like worry. It is especially harmful
IN hot weather.
Hurry tears out the nerves and the
bodily tissues rapidly. puts lines in
the face. interferes with digestion and
other Intestinal action. and In time
may produce permanent palpitation
OF the heart
Loss OF both physical and mental
control and a number of varieties Of
W disorders may also result
from chronic "hurrying up"
Hurry exhausts twice the energies
IN a given time than would bo re-
ouired to accomplish twice the work
AZ undertaken in a leisurely manner
Don't hurry at our meals. II you
have only a few minutes in which to
snatch a bite forego the usual break
fast which requires careful mastica-
tion.
Instead take a cup OF warm milk
or break a couple Of raw egg into .
cup. These you may swallow quickly.
They will digest easily.
The system can stand an Immense
mou OF physical labor for al In
definite time. but It cannot long with
stand the wear OF hurry.
Have plenty of exercise. Be alert
Ia your work. But don't wear out
before your time hurrying.

Anyway, the loser in a poker game
has the consolation of knowing that
no one is going to accuse him OF
cheating.
A youth may not learn much OF
anything else in college. But 1t
doesn't take him long to learn wha'
a dummy his father is.
Gosh, how time does fiyl 1t seems
but a few years ago since there were
no such animals as the telephone and
appendicitis.
A wife wouldn't think of paying 80
cash for something she really needs.
Five dollars is too much money. But
when an agent ZONES around peddling
some useless thing that she doesn't
need she grabs 1t because 1T costs only
rs cents down and 25 cents per week
for $50 weeks. What the heck is rs
cents?
Why hoes a mar marry to get a
home and then spend his married life
trying to get away from 1t?
And it Is a doggone sight safer to
have q siren on your automobile than
to have one in your automobile.

Good and evil influences contend to-
day, according to astrology. Whlle
Mercury rules strongly for good, Mars.
Venus and Neptune are all slightly
adverse.
1t Is a sway under which publishing
has a peculiar guidance. alternating
in It's benefits but bringing about
periodicals for educational purposes.
In the coming era education will
have a new and broad popular mean
ing, the seers declare, and for this
reason the public prints will be more
and more employed for teaching pPac-
teal living as well as patriotism and
civic responsibility.
This is not a lucky day for love af-
fairs, especially IL they concern sol
diers.
Neptune is in a place that is read
as encouraging deception. New ac-
quaintances made under this plane
tary government may not be lucky.
This is not a fortunate day for trav-
! cling and water transportation should
be especially avoided.
While this c~onfguration prevails
there may be soma agitation concern
ing ola shortage of kerosene or gas
oline apparently Is foreshadowed.
Again the stars seem TO presage
special need of great thrift. but the
seers predict thai this country will 60
through the war without feeling n
severely.
The coming of a teacher who will
win national fame Is prognosticated.
1t would seem that this leader is a
woman.
Revenues for war activities will
! pour IN much faster than previously.
II Is prophesied. after the beginning
| OF next month.
Divorces will multiply and scandals
may be numerous in the autumn.
Many of these may AFFECT men In
places OF grave responsibility.
Persons whose birthdate II Is may
have many anxieties and annoyances
during the coming ear Domestic az
fairs may be unsettled. Care in deal
ings with others should be MAIN
tanned.
Children born on this day may be
unruly and restless under control.

Today We Celebrate
Arrival of British Fleet in the st.

Arrival of British Fleet in the ST.
Lawrence.
S 207 years ago tonight. on Aug
ust ~, I'LL, a great English fleet OF
fifteen men-o'-war and forty trans
ports loaded with troops, entered the
St. Lawrence. bent upon the conquest
of Quebec. Besides a number of New
England soldiers, the transports car
ried seven regiments of veterans from
Marlborough's army and a battalion
of f-re-seasoned marines. Sir Hoven-
den Walker vas in command of this
formidable fleet.
Col. Nicholson had previously cap
tured Port Royal, and changed its
name to Annapolis, and all Acadie
was in his grasp. While the fleet was
proceeding to Quebec. Nicholson was
marching overland to Quebec. APP
parently the knell of the French in
Canada vas about to be rung, but the
English were disappointed.
On that fatal August night when
the British vessels entered the st.
Lawrence the river was shronded in
fog, and Admiral Walker was aroused
from his sleep to find his vessels
threatened with destruction among
the breakers on the north shore. The
flagship. by dint of expert seamanship,
contrived to escape, but eight other
vessels following its lead were not so
fortunate and were dashed to pieces
on the rocky shores of Egg Island.
More than a thousand men lost their
lives. and Sir Hovenden Walker, whose
reputation as a seaman had previous
ly been excellent, was disgraced for
losing his ships.
After holding council with his OFF,
GERS, the admiral decided to return to
Boston with the remnants of his feet
without striking a blow. There was.
of course. great rejoicing at Quebec
when the news reached the city.
Nicholson. in rag and disgust, had
to return to Boston. lamenting the
failure of his high hopes. BY the
peace of Utrecht a little later. Eng
land received Acadie, Newfoundland
and the Hudson's Bay country, but
France retained Isle Royal. or Cape
Breton. and st. John. now Prince Ed
ward Island.
OF course. all these little unpleas-
a~ntnesses are forgotten in face of the
present conflict. and the fact that both
the English and French a read
about them without the slightest feel
ing of ancor Is proof Of the great
and lasting friendship which has been
established in face of the common en-
J envy.
