Losing the temper takes all the
sweet. pure feeling out of life. One
may get M in the morning with a

out as happy ms a bird, and the mo-
ment he is crossed and gives way to
temper the clean feeling vanishes
and a load rs heavy as lead is rolled
upon the heart. Be the master of
your temper and you hold the key to

Cosmetic Art.

From the looks of some Of the wom-

good proposition to sell different
shades Of powder for hot, warm, cool
and cold weather. They say that they
sell different shades for day and night
white for the daytime and blue for
use under artificial light, so, why not
for different degrees of temperature as
we'll? However. probably some bright
genius has already thought this up and
patented his compound and it may not
be well advertised as yet.-Grit.

Ants have developed nothing re-
motely resembling industrial organiza-
ton. Many unnecessary conclusions
have been drawn from comparing neu-
ter (undeveloped female) ant workers
with the unmarried women of modern
industry. A comparison with child
labor would be truer. For ant work
ers are always %'hunger' forms
stunted creatures who have no eco
monte opportunity to grow up-who
are forced by family necessity to ven
ture out for food before they reach full

Conquer Fear.

1t IS an everlasting duty, the duty
of being brave. Valor is still value.
The first duty of a man is still that
of subduing fear. We must get rid of
fear; we cannot act till then. A nan
shall and must he valiant, he must
march forward. Now and always the
completeness of his victory over fear
will determine how much of a man
he is.

The old Britons gave the nickname
"Fildyke" to February, not because it
is a particularly wet month, the aver
age rainfall being the least Of any
month in the year, but because the
melting snow on the hills causes the
rivers and dykes to overflow. When
there is a superabundance of snow and
rain in February there is too much of
what would be a good thing in modera-
ton, and floods where they are least
welcome.

Those With Enterprise.

The enterpriSing person is the per,

putting that learning to use, who is

and creating all the opportunities
which seem to offer themselves to

what is enterprise but "a busy mind
and a busy person properly directed

MiHinn Tobacco.

The mixing of light and dark tohac-

date. A man from London found his
pipe tobacco was nearly exhausted. so
he cut M a cake Of chewing tobacco
and made a mixture. He continued to
smoke the blend, and, meeting a friend
who was in the trade, he gave him a
sample. with the result that the first
smoking mixture was soon before the
public.

Napkins.

Table napkins were in use long be
fore some of the other accessories
which we consider Indispensable to-
day. Before forks came to be known,
men had to use their fingers in pre-
pairing their food hence the ancient
common habit of frequently passing
the basin of water and its accompany
ing napkin for wiping the hands. 1t
now seems incredible that forks were
not customary until the seventeenth
century.

WHEAT DIRECTOR
MEETS GRAIN MEN
President Gates, of Board Of
Trade, Will Hold Con-
ference Tomorrow.

New York, May 14.-An immediate
reduction in the price Of wheat,
reaching all down the line from the
producer to the baker, is believed as
sured, according to statement is
sued today by Julius Barnes,I wheat
director. following a prolonged COP
ference yesterday between Mr.. Barnes
and representatives of the grain in
ers. jobbers and bakers.
The statement issued by Mr.. Barnes
says:
There was general agreement
that in order that all the wheat pro-
ducers of the country should secure
equal benefits, that the various trades
could be bound by contracts to see
that wheat trading should be only on
the guaranteed price, and if lower
basis was justified with the develops
ment of world factors as the season
advanced, this lower basis should be
made to reach the consumer by trade
agreements with millers and manu-
featuring facilities, the wheat director
making the readjusting basis effective
by the payment of the difference as
allowed under act Of congress.
I'm return for protection against a
fall in price, after the guaranteed
price. had been made for wheat
bought. the wheat director. would re-
quhfe from the various tradts contract
obligations by hch their trade
practices and margins of profit would
be subject to review and control by
the wheat director.
1T was suggested. for instance, that
the mills agree that their total gross
operating profits between wheat
bought and the finished products sold
should not exceed an agreed basis per
barrel of -four manufactured, thus as
suring immediate reflection tor the
consumer of any reduced price o1
wheat supplied to1the mills.
THE jobbers expressed willing.
ness also to contract that their
handling margins should not exceed
the price fixed on an agreed basis
thus making Immediately effective a
lower retail price of flour when made
by the mills on re-adjusted wheat
basis.
'"The bakers were willing to enter
into contract by which they would
reflect at once In their products the
lower price of -four made effective by
Ithe mills. fh-ttTs ,Swayy dJwn to the
retail trade there is Thought to be ali
assurance that reduced price OF
wheat should be effective Immediately
all down the line. -
,"Some Of the western delegates ex.
pressed the view that certain sectior
Tof the producing wheat country had
developed a sentiment that wheat
next year might be worth more thar
the guaranteed price in the oper
markets, but the general view was
| that, the crops promised SO we'll that
any withholding from the market un-
der such sentiment would be- unap,
