suppose II Is heritage from our re-
hottest ancestors-when night truly was
a time for man to keep safe in his cave
and let the wild beasts have sway:
Most OF us, also. are more emotional
at night We are less inhibited. more
expansive. We are more easily moved
by sentiment than in daytime. Any
actor will tell you that II IS far harder
to put over an emotional play on tho
same kind Of an audience ut matinee,
than at the evening performance.
Certain functions OF the mind work
better in the evening and others In the
daytime. For instance. l would say th;tt
the imaginat ton was in better WORKING
order at night and the judgment In the
daytime. For this reason any tettc:
that one writes at night should always
be re-rcad in the daytime before II ts
sent. And any plan formulated ut night
should be looked over In the cold light
Of day before 1t is put into action. Like
wise no situation should be given up as
hopeless until one has had chance 10
think 1t over in the evening as we'll as
the daytime.
We Know What Non Are Before
BrsakfAst.
Men are even more affected by TINS
condition Of dual personality than Wo-
men. Everyone knows what men are
like when they first wake up IN the
morning! Though women have the name
of being more temperamental, they GER
,ainly are not so in this respect

falling on his face. He was bruised
about the face and head and had con-
siderable difficulty in extricating the
horse, which was spirited.
Edgar Slaughter, local miller, who
has been sick for some time with in
fiuenza, is reported as improving. He
was thought to be much better when
he had relapse that kept him back.
A. 7. Bratton and Sons, local fish
ermen, are making some fine hauls
from Blackbird creek. During the
winter they were handicapped by the
ice in the stream, but now they are
catching many hundreds of pounds of
fine fish, the prices ranging from ten
to twenty cents pound. The buyers
are mainly dealers from the cities,
who come daily to the wharves with
trucks to lay in their supplies.
Eggs are plentiful in this section
and are selling at the local stores at
from thirty-five to forty-five cents a
dozen. Poultry raisers are COM
planning of the price for eggs when
compared with the price of feed and
some of them are expected to raise
fewer chickens this year.
Country butter is scarce and is sell
ing at from eighty-five to ninety cents
a pound and the storekeepers cannot
secure enough to supply the local de-
mand. City butter is being shipped
here. The shortage of local butter is
attributed to the shortage of feed fol
the cows and ONES farmers have {
very meager supply.
