IF Lincoln had Just
"set" before his fireplace
and smoked and thought
or just "set" and
smoked, do you think he
would ever have been
President of the United
States?
Lincoln was a dream
er and no doubt he did
often sit and think as
the smoke curled up the
chimney. but he did
more. He studied and
read and planned be
tween his dream times.
Dreams and action
will get any of us what
we want.
We must just dream
of the thing we want
most in the world: then.
we must accumulate the
knowledge or the re-
sources or the health
that Will make those
dreams come true.
Dreams built on wish
ing soon vanish in the
air.
Dreams built on work
ing will come true lust
as sure as did those of
Lincoln's first conceived
Vim the little log cabin.

Registered Cattle and Babies From Bulletin of the United State.
 Pubic Health Service

Horse and cattle breeders owning s'hlooded'' stock do not fail to have , their, animals registered" It adds to their value. and is therefore justly regarded as highly desirable. In sharp contrast is the attitude of mary care less parents of children. Here are a few reasons why baby's birth should be registered: To establish identity te prove nationality; to prove 1egiti- macy; to show when the child has the right to enter school; to show when 4he child has the right to seek employ ment under the child labor law; to es- tabiish the right of inheritance to property; to establish liability to miY1- tary duty. as well as exemption there from: to establish the right to vote !; to qualify to hold title to. and to buy 0r sell real estate; to establish the right to hold office; to prove the age T: which the marriage contract may ta entered into; to make possible sta tst:cal studies of health conditions.

Kiev, With About 5OO,OOO
 Inhabitants, Combination of Both the Old and New

Kiev contains about 500,0O0 inhab.- tants, and comprises four distinct dis tricts,s which may also be called sep arate towns. Podol, the commercial quarter, skirts the river Dnieper, and above it, on steep declivity, is Lipki, the residential. quarter, and an en- chanting spot in summer, with it's handsome villas embowered in. dark, luxuriant foliage.
 North of that is Kiev proper, which contains the university and the cathe- dral of St. Sophia. building erected in the eleventh century, but so con stantly repaired and added to that it is now a huge and towering structure with more than a dozen large golden domes.
 Here also are the theaters, hotels and shops, which are quite as mod ern as those of Petrograd or Moscow. Petchersk, the fourth district. is honey combed with caves and catacombs that in oiden days were used as places of refuge and as monastic cells, and where, during holy festivals. one can scarcely move through the dense crowds of pilgrims. of whom 3OOOOO annually visit this ancient and revered monastery.

Peaceful Color of Green
 Was Mother Earth's Choice

~ ; -
 How many of us ever wonder why Mother Earth chose to dress in green |? The earth was not always. green. Once It was as naked as the moon; but there came day when the weather grew cool enough to demand clothing, and at that time, no doubt, our material planet began to look about to choose a color scheme for her dress Why she chose green is not of record, but that she chose it with her whole. heart every pleasant place of creation testi- fies. Scientists explain that this is merely a natural phenomenon, the col or being chlorophyl pigment, turned green by action of the sun. But why it did not turn blue. or red, or black no scientist knows. About all we can say is that Mother Earth wanted a green dress, and she went and got it.

Extremely simple tools are used by the workman, an old pocket knife with niekeds and trusted blades being one of his favorite implements.

Wood taken from the heart of partly petrifed log dug up in an eastern state forms the back of one of the extraordinary yiolins.

IN CULLING KEEP ONLY GOOD BULLETS.

Every well-developed, early-hatched bullet in good health is potential egg layer. Just as there is no method of judging the speed of horse before he has been raced or of determining the butterfat record of a heifer before she has been freshened. so there is no accurate means of telling how many eggs the bullet will lay until she has been given a trial As a rule, most bullets which start laying before win ter will lay at least enough eggs to pay for their feed during their first laying season. All mature, vigorous bullets should be kept. Any weak, un- dersiZed, late-hatched, or deformed bullets should be culled out in the fall
 Other methods of estimating the fu- ture egg production of bullets are in- accurate and their use is not advised
 The real problems in culling poul- try flock are found with hens that have finished one or two laying sea- sons- The general rule with bullets is to keep practically all and with aged hens to dispose of all, but with all yearling hens and with two-year- old hens of the lighter breeds somd should be sold and others kept. To cuii hens of these ages every bird must be studied to determine her value. Nature has marked the poor producer, and the poultry keeper should be able to recognize the marks.

A SONG OF LOVES

Through branches of their leaves bereft Y The sp,light glitters golden; The moss with velvet clothes each cleft
 In ruins grim and olden; On falling towers the ivy strong
 All signs of wreck effa0es; The. streamlet sings its sweetest sorg
 Across the stony places; When moonless is the wintry sky
 Then brightest is the starlight; Beyond the breakers fierce and high
 We see the beacon's far light; The snowdrop rings its silver bell , When snowdrifts shroud the meadows, The winds their sacred secrets tell
 Behind the evening shadows. And4so, sweetheart, when thou art old
 And sad and worn and weary, When all the world is growing cold,
 And all the land looks dreary. My heart will follow then the lead
 Of star and moss and river, And love thee best in greatest need
 Forever and forever.

KidWeIIy Is Quaint Old Welsh Town; Place Lives
 Largely in Days Gore By

Kidwelly is a quaint old town in Wales. It is a dreamy little com munity set in snugly between broad marshes and Carmarthen bay, and di- vided by a curving river with an un- pronounceable Welsh name. Old Kid welly lives largely in the past. It has been the scene of battles and sieges It has castle whose turrets and round towers still stand bravely, their age kindly hidden by the vines that enfold them.
 It pretends to remember well the oc- casion of the Welsh princess who stOrmed the town at the head of her army. It tells the story proudly, a little sadly at the end, for the warrior princess was executed by her enemies.
 It is a dusty, unromantic climb to the battlementS, but the view from the castle top is worth the trip. The quaint, tumbledown houses at the foot of the walls are a mere skeleton of the old town as it was in it's prime. Be yond them are 'marshy fields rolling away to the next village. Far below is the river once thronged with ships of trade that long ago deserted 1t for richer ports. Its streets are almost empty, and it's old-fashioned residents, primly oblivious to new improvements and styles of architecture, testify loud ly to it's age.

Hot Application to the
 Abdomen Is an Old Remedy

One of the old standby of doctors is the application of heat to the abdomen in the form of hot-waters bags, hot plates, hot congresses or even hot fiat irons. This produces a certain sense of well-being and is supposed to relax spasm and aid digestion. But the Jour nal of the American Medical Associa- tion points out that all experiments to ascertain how the heat acts fail to prove that IL acts at all. It is certain that the sheat does not actually pene- trate the organs within the abdomen, and it may be that whatever results are obtained are brought about by way of the nervous mechanism connecting the skin and the internal organs.
