Sometimes people look upon al,
tendance at church as duty
which must be performed, and
yet one which requires more OF
less of an effort. When we go to
show we pay the price to see
everyday life that is old to man
kind. 1t affords us the change
our natures require and we are
satisfied AT every church ser
vice the minister tells us some
thing we did not know before. He
extracts his information from d
source that can not be question
ed, from a book that never grows
old, from the fountainhead of
truth and knowledge. The pages
of the Bible contain more thrill
ing stories and more astounding
wonders than all other prints of
civilization combined. All Of.
this is yours for the going, as free
as the air that you breathe. There
is no ticket taker at the door,
and no admission is charged.

| state seed commissioner, the fol
lowing statement is made and is
worthy of notice by all farmers.
The seed buying season is about
here and there are several points
that should be brought to the at
tention of the farmers. There is
probably held in the growers
hands more low quality seed than
ever before. This is particularly
true of clover and alfalfa. Much

Of this seed goes into the ground.
Mr. Sheehan lists the following
points to be remembered:
/. A test costs nothing.
2. 1t is the only sure way of
being certain of the quality of
seed being obtained.
3. Look out for seed that is.
selling below market price.
A. Look out for the mail order
house. Buy only on sample and
test.
S. Buy early enough to get a.
test before seeding.

THE ALTERNATIVE

A LINCOLN COLEMAN, of Seattle
"A. while at the National Capital
recently, summed up the Philippine
question correctly when he declared,
1T is next to absurd to speak of indie
pendence under an American protec-
torate. There can be no American pro-
tectorate without American RESPONSE
bility for policies adopted. II the
United States withdraws from the
Philippines, it can not make itself re-
sponsible for policies Of which it had
nothing to do with the framing" The
United States wishes no responsibility
for protectorate 10000 miles away.
There is trouble enough looking after
those we have nearer home. Either
the guidance of this nation in Philippine
affairs, or complete withdrawal OF the
United States from that territory,
giving the people absolute control over
their own destiny-t that is the alter
native for the Filipinos to face ultimate
ly. But Just at present we will do the
selecting and retain control for little
while longer.

Business Is the oldest of professions,

any other. If man is honest else
