How ACES May Be Compared.

Study of the relation between the to
tai length of life and the time re-
CURED to reach maturity has brought
out an interesting comparison between
man and horses. A horse at five
years old is said to be, comparatively,
as old as a man at twenty, and doubt
less may be expected to behave, ac-
cordIng to equine standards, after the
manner Of the average college student
following human standards. A ten
year-old horse resembles, so far as
age and experience go, man of forty,
while horse that has attained the
ripe age of thirty-five is comparable
with a man of ninety.-New York

Corn and Prosperity

Corn, more corn and more corn.
This should be the slogan of our
agriculture for the next ten years.

idea, but corn is fundamental to our
prosperity now and is destined to
become an increasingly important
crop with each succeeding year. An
industry or an art can advance to
own for a few years. Eventually
retrograde movement sets in unless
some discerning genius finds a way
for improving and changing the sit

fact that other inventions, other

undertaken. Many can appreciate the

DANGEROUS Liquids

Gasoline, ether. and benzine should
not be kept on shelves In cabinet

these vapors, a light. at a distance

TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

Here comes lonely girl to ask
| advice from you, and 1 am sure you
can help me- My mother and father
are so mean to me it seems I cannot
stand 1T any longer. Mamma fuses
at everything I do, no matter how
good l do it, and papa is just that
way. l know it isn't because things
aren't done right; the neighbors talk
about how clean things stay around
our home, and I do most of it, too.
and 1 never get q kind word When
papa comes around and gets mad at
me he will just kick me all over and
won't get me thing to wear. 1 pick
ed some velvet beans and thought
could get me something to wear, but
he would not sell them after 1 picked
them. He carried our landlord his
half and let mine stay down in the
field and let the cows and hogs eat
them, and that is the way he does
me all of the time, also we picked
SIX bales Of cotton and he just let
the landlord take it and did not give
me a cent.
I have to do all Of the washing,
starching, ironing, homework and
cleaning up the yards and my sisters
and brothers don't do anything. and
papa will get them anything they
ask for. Now, don't think 1 mind
working, for 1 sure do not, but l
