He's lazy, or else he's deficient in

And-maybe--A hypocrite. too

Away with the man who nnds fault

But give mo the man with the sun In

And the shadows all dancing behind
Who can meet his reverses with calm

guage for his needs, and above all. by
the singular music and sweetness of
MS verse. The main theme seldom
varies; 1t is a noble knight, fighting,
overcoming, tempted, delivered; or a
beautiful lady plotted against dis
'tressed, rescued. The poets affluence
of fancy and speech gives a new turn
and color to each adventure. But be-
sides that, under these conditions
there must be monotony; the poets
arr, admirable as 1T is, gives room for
OBJECTIONS. So. There was loose
ness and carelessness, partly belonging
to his age, partly his own. In the use
OF materials, nothing comes amiss to
him. He had no scruples as a copy

piece of old metal-word, story or inn
age-which came to his hand, and
threw it into the melting pot of his i'm
agination, to come out fused with his
own materials, often transformed, but
often unchanged The effect was
happy, but not always SO.

Lamb and Mutton.

The dividing line between lamb and
mutton is not based wholly upon age;
well-bred and well-fed animal, II or
IL months old, may still belong to the
lamb class, while a yearling of rangy
stock, which has been poorly fed,
yields meat of an inferior grade of
mutton. 49, d. 5=EEs= @-EES - r.
The best grade of mutton consists
of fat, heavy meat. Light and flabby
meat is not very palatable. Lamb
rarely Is an economical meat to serve.
The relative difference in food value
between lamb and mutton is the same
as between veal and beef.
The meat should be of deem red
color and firm to the touch; the fat.
creamy, white and solid. Mutton alb.

STATE FARM BUREAU
FEDERATION PROGRAM

The following program Of work OF
the State Farm Bureau Federation
will be of interest to all who are sup
porting the movement in Medina
county. This program will govern
the activity of the directors OF state
association in their work for the year.
At the present time these men are
devoting considerable time to the bills
that are now before the Ohio legisla-
ture. A number of important bills
concerning agriculture are now pend
ing that need the support OF the farm
bureua men. The program adopted by
the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation Ex-
ecutive Committee:
Keep in close touch with the vari-
GUS County Farm Bureaus and show
the county units the need to Loyalty
support the State Federation that we
NAV have real power. That if the
scattered mass of farmers hope to
have any voice in State or National
affairs they must get together, stay
together and pull together. |;
Have each county unit organized
with a legislative committee in close
touch with number of farmers Of
the county who can be depended up
on to support all measures coming be-
fore the State Legislature that will
benefit the farmer in rightful and
legitimate ways.
If classification Of property is to pc
submitted again, get all the possible
information as to Just what it means
from the farmers standpoint.
Keep all the farm papers supplied
with timely articles. Preach organl-
zation until the individual farmer ls ,I'
forced to see that he must help with
his money and influence if his County
Farm Bureau is to be success.
Drive home the fact that a per.
sonal responsibility rests on each and
every man who tills the soil to sup
port and work for his County Farm
Bureau.
The fact must be driven into the
consciousness Of every man, that the
success Of the county, state and ma
tinoal union reverts back finally to
the loyalty of each individual to his
own County Farm Bureau.
Secure justice for farmers in legis-
lation; in particular secure for them
the right Of collective bargaining.
Wage campaign Of education
among farmers as to their mutual ob.
legations and responsibilities and to es'
tablish a better relationship between
CITY and country dwellers.
TO encourage and develop co-opera
tion in buying farm and household
supplies through organization of com
mittees upon the Rochdaie system ant
finally state wide grouping OF orders
The development Of more economl
cal systems of marketing farm pro
ducts so as to eliminate speculation
extortionate charges, unnecessar,
handling and transportation, and un
equal distribution.

w. S. S. CAMPAIGN 9.re
BEGINS MARCH IL

Calling on the people of Ohio to
respond to the governments request
for purchase of War Savings Stamps
during 1919, Governor James M. Cox
has issued a proclamation designat-
ing March II as the opening day of
War Savings Stamp pledge drive
in this state. The Ohio War Savings
Committee is carrying out state
wide campaign commencing on that
date. The Governors proclamation
declares:
The sale of War Savings Stamps
and other securities is being contin-
ued by the United States Government
to meet obligations arising from the
war; to bring our soldiers and sailors
home; to care for the helpless, MAIN
ed, sick and wounded; and to dis.
charge our full duty to the dependents
of soldiers.
During the activities of actual war
fare, the people of Ohio led all states
in the purchase Of War Savings
Stamps, and by so doing supported
their men in service to the utmost
effectively aiding in bringing the wal
rapidly to the close.
The gallant sons of Ohio have &C
complished their task in glorious
manner, and the boys overseas arr
still performing their duties, await
ing the time of honorable discharge
when every task shall have been com
pleted. Those at home can do nj
less than their full duty.
l, therefore, respectively urge tina
all Ohio citizens once more respon'
to the call of the War Savings Com
mittee in the pledge campaign be
ginning March II, 1919, and sys
tematically purchase War Saving
Stamps throughout the remainder o
the year.
The governors proclamation viii
be supplemented locally by reques
from mayors and councils to observ
the pledge campaign commencin,
March II.
