Try and make live, enterprising
place out of your home town, and
when working for its institutions or
speaking well of the town and coun-
try, remember you are accomplishing
all the more for yourself. Don't be
foolish enough to idle away valuable
time predicting failures and thereby
decrease the value of your property

So great is the. mind of a sweet
minded woman on those around her
that it is almost boundless. 1t is
to her that we all go in seasons of
sorrow and sickness for help and
comfort; one soothing touch of her
kindly hand works wonders upon the
feverish child; a few words dropped
from her lips IN the ear of a sorrow
stricken sister will do much to raise
the load of grief that is bowling its
victim down to the dust in anguish.
The husband comes home worn out
with the pressure of business and
feeling irritable with the world in
general, but when he enters the cozy
sitting room, and sees the blaze of
Ire, and meets his wife's smiling face
he succumbs in moment to the
soothing influences which act as the
balm of Gilead to his wounded spirits
that are wearied by the stern reali-
ties of life. The rough school boy
flies into rage from the taunts of
his companions to find solace in his
mothers smile; the little one full Of
grief with its large troubles finds a
haven of rest on its mothers breast;
and so one might go on with instance
after instance of the influence that
smeet-minded woman has in the social
life with which she is connected.
Beauty is an insignificant power
when compared with hers.
The bar of the. saloon, the bar of
the court, and the bars of the jail are
very closely related

There are times in the work of a
newspaper man when he must be con-

Who wouldn't be farmer? There
is Just one trouble, only the farmers
know how to farm. There are thous
ands who would like to quit the
towns and cities and emigrate to the
country, and possess themselves of
broad fertile fields, and proceed to
make two blades. of this, that or the
other of grass grow where one or
none grew before, but this prop
osition presents, that it takes from
two to twenty years to learn how to
farm (some folks never learn, and
within such a period bankruptcy
nigh occur several times over But
if all of US cannot be farmers, all
can admire the horny-handed son of
toll and rejoice with him in his pres
ent great prosperity. He is the bull
wark of the nation and the salt of
the earth.

Home.

Cherish the home with infinite ten
derness. You cannot love it too
much, nor give it too much time and
thot. Remember life has nothing
better to offer you; mt is the climax
and crown of Gods gifts. Make ev-
cry day of life in it rich and sweet
1t will not last long See to it that
you plant no seeds of bitter memory;
that there will be no neglect and
harshness to haunt you in after years.
Your little ones will die and go hence
with your words and spirits planted
in their eternal nature. Sons and
daughters will go from you into the
great world, to live as you have
taught them, to be strong or weak
according to the spirit you have en-
grated upon them. How you will
yearn for them whether living or
dead. How sweet or how bitter will
be the days when they prattled about
you in the home from which they
have gone forever! So live with
them and train them now that when
they are gone you and they can look
back on the past with thankfulness
and not regret.

some other concern overtake II and pass

On the question OF dividends the Judge
said:
You will recall that several years
ago the then finance committee issued a
statement In which 1t declared that It's
policy would be the establishment OF n
per cent dividend on the common
stock, and any time earnings were sum
cent to warrant such an action to make
larger stributions in the nature Of
extra dividends The action of the
finance committee will be based, In my
Judgment. largely upon condit ons ex-
istins at the time of action. You will
observe that / have not said what the
next dividend will be. This for the
reason that / do not know. TIL direc-
tors and the finance committee will be
governed in the way have Indicated"
In connection with the rumor that the
stabilizing plan, as 1t affects the steel
Industry, had been abandoned Judge
Gary said that was his Interpretation
OF yesterdays news dispatches. That
theory was not borne out by later ad-
vices from Washington, which indicate
that President Wilson cabled the Ad-
ministration to attempt to effect an
amicable adjustment OF the differences.
Judge Gary announced that the cor
poration subscribed $25,o00,o0 to the
Victory Loan.
