Not Meant as compliment.

A young society woman had
been visiting at her mothers
home for about a week and dur
ing that time had startled the
entire family by some of the
statements she had made and
some of the things she had done.
But yet none had the courage to
criticize her until one day her
grandfather, who made his home
there, said;l
"Helen, my dear, if you live
to be ten years older you will
then be very much like your
mother was when she was your
age"
Helen dlmpled at the evident
compliment. Not hardly that
long, grandfather" she demur-
red. Il know that women grow
older much more rapidly then
than they do now, but still"
"Fiddlesticks!" interrupted
her grandfather, testify, u
wasn't thinking of them grow
ing older. l don't know any
thing about that. What l was
thinking about was how much
faster they grow wiser"

Interest ia Work.

The craftsman of a former gen.
GRAFTON was keenly interested in
quality and quantity of work.
He Dragged about the fine shoes
he made, of the fine potatoes he
grew, and much Of his reward
came from the satisfaction he
got from high class work.
The complaint is often heard
now, that multitudes of people
are not interested in the quality
or amount of work done. They
do not feel pride in its excel
lence. Their aim is to get by,
to satisfy the requirements
enough to hang on to their job.
The pay envelope is the only re.
ward that counts.
People who work for such ends
may obtain plenty of employ.
ment in rush times when work
is abundant But slack times
always come, and the first work,
ers to be laid off are always the
clock watchers who never take
interest in their work.

Too Many Already.

Senator Calder, of New York.
has prepared bill that would
divide the Congressional districts
on a basis of 100000 each, thus
adding so members to a House Of
Representatives, which is already
too large by as much as so menu
bers.
There is not one reason in IA
vor of the bill as suggested eX-.

fellows" now in the House will
have the same districts that they
have now. In order to prevent
any interference with the con-

proposed that Congress shall add

What to Feed the laying Hen.

Many experiments have been,
conducted of the proper ration
to feed poultry in order to Sc
cure the most eggs. The Poul
try Department of the Expert
ment Station has just completed
the third year of experimental
work in the feeding of cotton
seed meal in the laying ration
for hens. They have reached
the conclusion that cottoDssed
meal is not essential to the "a
ton. The average farm hens
will get sufficient grain to make
the yolk of the egg; but it il
necessary that sufficient feed
like takage, buttermilk or COM
mercial meat scraps be provided
in order that they have sufficient
animal protein to produce the
white of the egg. 1t is essen
tial that the ration be so balanc-
ed that the hens will have suffi-
cient food of the various kinds
in order for them to lay the
maximum number of eggs.
Since eggs are high in the win
ter, that is the time when. as a
rule, they are scarce, and by
giving feed, coupled with good
housing, the farm flock that is
well bred should produce a good
ly number of eggs. It is InteE-
esting to note that the materials
to supply this animal protein
necessary in the production Of
the white of the eggs can be Sc
: cured in feeds like tankage,
commercial meat scraps or but
termilk. The first two are cCm-
mercial products and can be
bought, the third. or buttermilky
is a substance which should be-
on practically every farm.

The Community Newspaper.

Inc principle eoucaClonal FORCES
working in the modern COM
munity might be grouped under
the following heads: l. The pub
lie schools. 2. The colleges, tech
nical schools and academies. 8.
The Newspaper press.
Public schools represent the
purpose of the entire state, and
and their success and efficiency
are guaranteed by the taxing
power of the government. The
colleges and other private schools
represent humanitarian and cul-
tursl sentiment, with vast re-
serves Of money to draw from.
The newspaper press is more
of a self-made institution. It is
an individualistic enterprise,
with no help from state or phi
lanthropy. It could be said to be
the creation of a type of people
having a certain temperament in
common. The so.called love for
printers ink" which holds
them to their calling, would
seem to grow out of an excep-
tionally keen interest in human
life and development and in civic
and political progress.
The newspaper press started
from small beginnings, and has
fought against great obstacles.
Every successful newspaper has
passed through its period OF
struggle, when it had to live on
faith and hope, but not often on
charity, because it rendered ar
equivalent.
The newspaper press has
reached the point where many
people feel it is a greater power
than either public schools OF
colleges. Schools and colleges
, exercise a dominating influence
for a few years. Then their in
, fuence upon the individual
largely ceases, and they turn at
, tention to new group. But the
newspaper press exerts its In
fiuence from the day a chile
6 learns to read until the day ht
dies. Which is the greater
force?
The community has no create
f problem than the evolution o
e this mighty force up to its high
= est possibilities of service ant
