Washington, March 3. - Another row occurred today at hearings before the House ways and means committee on soldier relief measures. It came when Edward H.

A Mother's Maxim.

When Frederick Temple, the late
archbishop of Canterbury. was poor
boy. wearing patched clothes and
patched shoes. he had the good fortune
to have a wise mother who stimulated
and encouraged the right kind of am
bition, and directed his zeal. One day
the boy waxed critical over the incon-
sistency of English spelling, when his
mother chided him gently. Freddie,
don't argue; do your work." The les
son was not lost on his open mind.
He followed the sage advice. And
long years after, when as primate of
all England he had arisen to position
scarcely second to any in dignity and
influence in the land he acted on his
mothers counsel: "Don't argue; do
your work. IL: Cheley in "Stories

According to statistics sent out by
the state department of agriculture
Villas county has this year by far
the largest area devoted to crop pro-
duction Of any in its history. This is
readily accounted for by the fact that
all parts of the county have within
the past few years seen a large ar
rival of farm settlers and the result
of their combined labors are now
seen in large fields of crops where
but a few years ago the land was a
waste of stumps, brush and young
timber. Such development is of course
naturally gratifying to those who for
years past have in season and out
made claim that no other section of
the state was better adapted to diver
sified farming, once it was given a
chance to produce.
At the Villas County Fair to be held
September 18th and 10th, complete
showing Of crops of this years growth
will be seen. Those who have at.
tended previous fairs, and who have

done for the farmers and the county

For instance: The town Of Con-
over, almost entirely composed of
Swedish people who took up their
holdings during the. last Is years, is
now town Of we'll titled fields, large,
comfortable houses and barns, with
well bred cattle and sheep seen on
almost every farm Ever since the
organization of the county fair, that
town has led all others in the NUM-
Ger of premiums won and in every
exhibit made away from home, is
called on to make displays which al
ways come back with high honors.

There are plenty of seq serpents,
and of all snakes they are the most

vastly numerous, especially in the In
