 The result was disastrous in the extreme, the crop being the shortest produced since the great drouth year or 1901. and about equaling the third shortest crop on record, that of 1914. The yield also went below the nine year average for the counties.

Your Temper
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

Keep your temper. Nobody in all
this world-wants it!
And yet, temper must serve many
good purposeS-or else we all would
not have come into this world handy
equipped with one so good.
There is too little regard givep to
ones temper. 1t should have more
attention. For a thing SO universal
should have the greatest minds di-
rected to it's uses and development.
Perhaps that wifi come. Maybe there
will some time be Doctors of Temper.
(TD). At any rate the demand is
here.
Even at the present time-with lit
tie or no attention being given to it
temper is beginning to come into its
own as one of the useful arts. q alone
am to be blamed for terming temper
as an arD.
Temper may take many turns, as
for example in righteous anger" or
in sound indignation. Or as a special
species of fight. Then it is a very use
full thing to have about ones house
and home.
Tempers differ so widely, however
and are of such various makes, that it
is still considered bad form to leave
them lying around unguarded. Or
without their rightful owners within
close call.
But whatever class of temper you
may have do not advertise it. Or
make too much of it. 1t is very i'm
portant, however, that you keep or
good terms with it. For at the time
you may most regret, it may trip YOU
up and tumble you over into some
strange abyss

THE LITTLE OLD RED SCHOOLHOUSE.
The little old red schoolhquse is the cradle
of our dreams.
The little old red schoolhouse that we
see from every train.
Standing bravely by the roadways, by the
hills and by the streams.
Is the birthplace of the splendors and
the joys we shall attain.
There the voice of Freedom whispers
mighty secrets to our youth,
There the seeds of faith are planted in
the brave and sturdy hearts,
There tomorrow's men and women, by the
shining light of truth, -
Learn the majesty of service and the
Joy which it imparts.
The little old red sehoolhouse. with the
teacher at the door,
Is the bulwark Of our glory, and the
guardian of our pride:
From the feet of grim invaders 1t shall
long protect our shore
And no vicious reign of terror in its pres
- ence can abide.
There all tyrants meet their downfall, there
the force of might is stayed,
There the hand of hate is withered, and
the blows of evil vain.
In the little old red schoolhouse Freedom S

Learn the paths which lead to glory and

plants even the smallest victory gar
den in a city backyard.
The war department can probably
render the most valuable assistance to
the employment service by supplying
to it statistics regarding occupations of
discharged soldiers. In the most COM
plete form these would show the &C.
cupation and address of each dis
charged soldier who has no prospects
of immediate employment. When the
soldier finds permanent work, either
thru his own efforts or thru those of
some agency, he would notify the bu-
reau, and his case would be dropped.
Until then, every effort would be
made by the bureau. cooperating with
the other employment organizations,
to place him in a suitable position.
