The Home Paper

The home paper! How it ties
those who have gone to far-off
places, to other conditions and
surroundings, to the faith of their
forbears to the plain, simple, nor
NAL life of rural America! One is
surprised when one looks over the
"list" and sees where the paper
goes, "out of the county" The
Messenger for the past 65 years
has been going to Massachusetts,
and Virginia; to England and Cali
fornia; to Oklahoma and Canada; /;
to Australia and the many busy
but grimy mill towns of western
Pennsylvania-in short to all the
marts of trade and turmoil, whith-
er our youth fare forth to win
their spurs, and where too often
they find instead of fame, failure !;
in place of wealth, travail of soul !;
and a WEAKNESS of the flesh for
health and happiness. To these,
the "home paper" causes many a
smile of fond recollection; a re-
focusing of perspective; a new
balancing of comparative values !;
courage to go in the way that is
right; and above all an unshaken
and unshakable faith in truth and
freedom; a belief in real democ-
racy and hatred for autocracy,
whether it is of kaiser or of some
malcontent, who knows not what
he really does believe, except that
he is against anything that has
been and is, and in favor of any,
thing that he fancies may be, ut
terly regardless of either cause or
effect.-Arthur Brownlee, in Indi-
ana (Pa.) Messenger.

Mixed Corn Brings
Lower Prices

Farmers in the Southern States
are losing money because so much
of their shelled corn grades
mixed" according to reports re-
ceived by the Bureau of Markets,
United States Department of Ag-
riculture. 1t grades mixed" be-
cause of the large percentage OF
straw-colored kernels which it con-
tains.
The demand in this section OF
the country is for white corn for
making meal and grits, and millers
will usually pay premium to get
it 70 class as "white" under
Federal standards corn must con-
tain at least SO per cent by weight
of white kernels. More than 2 per
cent of straw-colored, yellow, red,
or any other color puts it in the
mixed" class.
If the corn is husked before
shelling, ears containing colored
kernels can be sorted out and used
for feed on the farm. The best
way, however, to have white corn
for market is to plant only pure
white seed.

The Selling Game

A merchant of international rep
utation gives in a recent issue Of
prominent trade journal, the fol-
lowing excellent advice to store
keepers and others who make a
living by selling something. And
after all whatever a mans trade
or profession his: living is made
by selling something, whether ii
be merchandise or the work of
head or hand.
He says.
Impress your customer with
the idea that he needs what you
have to offer. Sometimes the less
pressure brought to bear, the
quicker this is accomplished.
Make your opening argument like
that of a good lawyer. Present
your case and array your evidence
of worth, also as a good lawyer
does. In other words, use tact
with every prospective customer.
No two merchants are alike in
their thought and methods; conse-
quently, no fixed set of rules can
be laid or formula given to attain
point of efficiency. Sufficient to
say that the following has a great
deal to do with the makeup of a
successful storekeeper:
First. Loyalty to self and Gus.
toner.
Second. Personal appearance
spick-and-span merchandise.
Third. Character and habits
no late hours.
Fourth. Enthusiasm, life ano

Fifth, Understanding of human
nature, to see things as they are.
Sixth. knowledge; know the
goods you deal in.
Seventh. Ability to analyze
yourself and others"

PLANNING AND
PLANTING THE
FRONT YARDS
Arrangement of Shrubs I'm.
portant in Breaking Lines
Between House and
Lawn

The day has passed when a
shrub can be planted anywhere in
the front yard. There is parti-
cular place for the shrub or it is
out of place. l.. H. Bailey says !:
Where to plant is really more i'm
portant than what to plant"
Aside from the ever-present ne
cessity of neat and clean grounds,
the attractiveness of the front
yard is dependent upon three prin-
ciples: Q) Tying" the house
down to the ground with OCCASION
al shrubs and vines so placed that
they will not crowd each other
but will break the severe lines be-
tween the house and the lawn. (2)
Choosing and arranging these
shrubs with one, two, or three
kinds as basis. 60 Leaving the
centers in lawns free of unneces-
sary walks, drives, piles of stones,
or pieces of statuary.
A home could be attractively
planted with either of two groups
of plants-those that are not ma
tive and therefore must be pur-
chased or grown from cuttings
and those that are native and
easily available. The native
plants are to be preferred, since
they not only decorate the home,
but attract the birds by providing
shelter and food throughout the
winter months.
A suggestive list of the plants
is given herewith:
Shrubs.-Abelia, althaea, bar
berry, deutzia, forsythia, hydran-
gea, japanese ounce, dwarf euony.
mus, lilac, privet, roses, spiraea
SNOWFALL, syringa, weigelia.
Vines.-Boston ivy, clematis
English ivy, wistaria, climbing
roses, climbing euonymus.
Transplanting. - Many shrubs
are stunted by careless planting
The hole in which the shrub is tt
be placed should be deep enough
so that good loan may be filled il
for the new roots to feed upon ant
the shrub placed at the same deptf
it. was before. 1t should also bt

we'll spread out. The shrub shoul(
be placed erect and the sol
thoroughly packed around th'
roots. To balance the loss o:
roots, half of the branches shoult
be removed at time of planting.
Pruning.-The shrubs and vine
used to beautify the home shoult
require very little care or atten
tion other than the removal of old
dead, broken, or rubbing branches
Shrubs in the back yard to b.

THE TOUR
OF A SMILE

D'es&2SSla5 5SsseaSS SSASe~-1'-s0
My papa smiled this morning when
He came downstairs, you see,
At mamma, and when he smiled,
then
She turned and smiled at me;
And when she smiled at me, went
And smiled at Mary Ann
Out in the kitchen, and she lent
1t to hired man.
So then he smiled at some one
whom
He saw when going by,
Who also smiled and ere he knew
Had twinkles in his eye;
So he went to his office then
And smiled right at his clerk,
Who put some more ink on the pen
And smiled back from his work.
So when his clerk went home, he
smiled
Right at his wife, and she
Smiled over at their little child
AS happy as could be;
And then their little child she took
The smile to school, and when
She smiled at teacher from her
book
Teacher smiled back again.
And then tht teacher passed on one
To little James, Mcbride,
Who couldn't get his lesson done
No matter how he tried;
And Jamesy took it home and told
How teacher smiled at him,
When he was tired and didn't scold
But said, Don't worry, jim"
And when l happened to be there
That very night to play,
His mother had a smile to spare
Which came across my way;
And then / took it after a while
Back home and mamma said:
Here is that very self-same smile
Come back with us to bed"
