No doubt you would readily recog-

daily and many times a day, and prob
ably you think you study them with
peculiar care. But that is just the
point. Whenever you see them, you
are studying them. The expression is
conscious, artiaeial-the expression Of
a person who Is being watched and
studied. You know what the photog-

You know how you feel and can im-
agine how you look when you are
aware that someone IL observing you.
Think Of the expressions you watch
on others faces when they are COM
pieteiy unconscious, not giving
thought 10 how they look. Some faces
r sweet. kindly, sympathetic. de-
lightful. Some faces again, often the
same faces, are sad, anxious, dreary;
others still are harsh, bitter, angry or
selfish. Remember that all those ex-
pressions are likely to come on your

Remember how you love to watch the
kindly look in others and how you
shrink and turn away from the ugly
and the hateful. Perhaps tbs memory
and the consciousness will help you
to control the uheomeiy expressions In
yourself. Or, snes expressions are not
easily comfortable and are In any case
an unfaiiing index Of the feelings that

KITTEN THEIR COMFORT KIT

At B~euvardes. between Chateau

inches of gray kitten that could tell

This kitten was the 'liaison" be-

rent, as though q rihe-butt had dashed

quality of exhibitions in nearly every department This is owing partly to the greatly increased amount of premiums as prizes, as well as to the steadily increasing interest of farm CTS and others throughout Washington county.
 One gains a new appreciation and respect for Rhode Island as an agri- cultural community in looking at the manifold displays of fruits and vege- tables that occupy big section of the exhibition hall each year. Every fruit and vegetable possible to grow in this climate is represented.
 The live stock entered for exhibi tion this year also proves valuable instructive feature, demonstrating the CTS. The vicinity of the stalls and the pens is always one of the popular parts of the Fair grounds.
 The South County Fair has all the well known Fair features which N W Englanders everywhere have learned to love. The exhibitions alone are worth a trip to West Kingston to see. The progress and development of Rhode Island agricultural live stock interests as recorded in this annual exhibition, is such as to send thrill of pride through every lover of little Rhody. Extensive plans have been made for exhibitions of the state war work the object of these exhibits arranged un- der the direction of the Rhode Island Council of Defense, is to acquaint the public with just what Rhode Islands share is, from the military. economic and producing standpoint.
