BELIEVE IN THEM.

Have we any boys in Welsh who
seem to dislike work-regular labor?
Well, you bet we have-men too.
TheTes-but we won't mention any
names. What we started to tai about
was this: We have lots of young fel-
lows here in our little town, who ut
terly despise anything that s2yOrs Of
work-that is real manual labor.
But, if you will keep an eye on one
of these boys you may observe that
he likes to do some particular thing
more than anything else. II may be
that he has hobby of drawing gro.
tesque and meaningless pictures, Carl
Catures of the teacher or pupils in the
school. Did you ever realize that he
may be an embroyo cartoonist? Posi-
BILE, isn't it?
If that boy happens to be yours,
don't ridicule or scOld him. Of course
YOU will insist that he gets his Lessons.
But let him play at his hobby whether
it be motors or pictures or any Of the
innumerable what-nots.
Daniel Webster hated mathematics
hut he loved law and he became a
great orator and statesman Horace
Greedy loved to read and became a
printer so he could make books. Edi-
sOn--oh, Just go down through the
Hall of Fame and pick them ont for
yourself. Every man who has been
a big SUCCESS has had hobby
and has nurtured it, His work is his
play.
This is not intended to encourage
our boys to neglect their studies. But
we would like to see the fathers and
mothers of Welsh study their sons
and find where the boys brains are
going to fit.
And above all believe in him and
LET HIM KNOW IT.

AWKWARD WAYS WASTE ENER-
 GY

From buttoning shoes to washing dishes, there is an easy and awkward way of doing all work, as everyone well knows Now, along comes the scientist, who says his experiments show that, aside from feeling and looking more comfortable when you do your work in the right way, you also save considerable energy.
 This fact is one of several which recent experiments made by the Of fee of Home Economics of the United States Department of Agriculture have disclosed. These experiments have been made for the purpose of determining the energy requirements of an individual in the various circum- stances of his daily life and for use in estimating the amounts and kinds of food required by him to meet the needs of his body for energy.
 It was found in the homely every day task of dish washing that, when one washed dishes on table so low that she was obliged to bend over, her en- ergy output was 30 calories per hour. When she washed them on table that was a little too high for comfort it required 25 calories per hour, while only 21 calories were used when the working surface was of the right height.
 It doesn't take long to saw off the legs of a table or to put blocks under it which will make it the right height.

ITS MILK COW:" NOT "MILCf
 COW"

Hereafter it will be milk cow not "milch cow"-at least so far as the U. S. Department of Agriculture is concerned.
 This decision marks the termina- ton of a controversy in which etymo- logists in the department have had not a title interest. Those defending "nilch" have pointed to scriptural use and certain of the classics as es- tablishing precedents, while the oppo- Sition has contended that dairymen, ranchmen, and farmers in general use milk" instead of ''nilch" almost universally. The advocates of milk" also favored the word because, they contended it was more strictly an English word, while 'smilch" was a. kin to German. Since Americaniza- tion of language as we'll as ideals is an article in every patriots creed, it is thought that this last sally of the milk" defenders helped as much as any to decide the question in their favor.

Louisiana sugar planters have placed $10,000 at the disposal of the United States Department of Agricul- ture to assist the Bureau of Ento- mology in importing parasites of the sugar cane moth bofer, the most de- srructive enemy of sugar cane in the United States. The work of import lan and establishing the parasites of the #bcrer was undertaken by the Bureau of Entomology last year An -est was sent to Cuba and succeed s} ia getting several hundred living 2oet-crs of the parasite to the Uni - -ta,e alive.

There is more Catarrh in this section Of the country than all other diseases put together, and for years it was sup posed to be incurable. Doctors prescribed local remedies. and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced 1t incurable. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly influenced by constitutional con- ditions and therefore requires constitu- tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Medi- cine. manufactured by F. J.

A farmers work in hay harvest in 1850 resulted in slowing in the barn about one half ton per day of 10 hours. The Efficiency of the farmers labor was multiplied by five half a century later and he had about 1-2 tons to show for his days work.
