There Is much difference of opinion
on the subject of perfect human meas
urements, but according to Professor
Sergeant, one of the best known au-
thoritles on the health of the Ameri-
can woman, the following measure
ments constitute the perfect figure
Height G3.6 inches; breadth of neck,
3.S inches; girth OF neck, 12.1 inches /;
breadth Of shoulders, IA inches !;
breadth Of waist, SO inches; glrth Of
waist, 24G inches; breadth of hips
121 inches girth OF hips 354 inches
girth of calf, 1873 inches girth of up
per arm, 101 inches; girth Of thigh
pa inches, and Of forearm, % inches.
Many other authorities insist that a
woman should measure in height 5
feet five inches, or an inch and one
half taller than Professor Sargeant's
perfect woman.

WHERE'S MOTHER

WHERE'S MOTHER
When father came from work at night
Before he'd wash his hands and face
Or hang his hat upon the peg,
His glance would wonder round the
place,
And If dear mother's sunny head
Was not within his visions ken,
He'd search for her from Dom toroom,
Upstairs and down and all, and then
He d stop and ask,
Where's motherY'
But If he found her in her chair.
He'd putter,off about the lot,
And pick "a mess OF early greens,
Or fix a chicken for the pot;
He'd mend a fence or set hen,
Or do some other homeiy chure,
With only now and then a glance
Toward the half open kitchen door
That SCENE TO ask
"Where's mother?"
When mother left us sorrowing
He followed ner within a day;
And while We laid white howere
around
His smooth-brushed hair as white as
they,
We could but think that when the light
And beauty OF that wondrous place
Burst on his newly-quickened gaze,
lie must have raised an eager face
And simply asked:
"Wbere's mother?n

An angry letter, especially if the
writer be we'll loved, is much more
lasting than aa angry speech SO
much less easy to forget. The words
remain always before You, not to bo
explained away nor atoned for by a

love that may follow so quickly upon
spoken anger, Heaven defend US from
angry letters. They are never iusti-

cow TESTING ASS'NS
NECESSARY URGES
COUNTY AGENT ROGAN

Harry l.. Averill and H. r. Peddy
OF Batavia, Illinois, were in this city
Monday in search of carload of pure
bred Guernsey cattle. They came in
response to letter sent from the
office of the local county agent to
the county agent of Kane county. AZ
ter spending the greater part of the
day visiting farms near the city, they
found themselves unable to make up
the carload here. They required cows
from COW testing associations with
records showing at least 500 pounds
butter fat, tuberculin tested and from
herds headed by pure bred sire.
THE failure of these men in max
ing up their carload said W. j. Ro-
gan, county agent, demonstrates con-
clusively the necessity of COW testing
associations. The animals they did
select were from herds with testing
records and others, perhaps just as
good animals, they could not con-
slider because they failed in this one
particular in meeting the standards
the buyers were required to adhere
to-"
Mr.. Averill and Mr.. Peddy proceed
ed to Edgar Monday evening to try
to make up their carload from other
parts of the county.

you boys and girls can help the
Postal service and save your father
some money, because he has to help
pay the cost of searching addresses
on letters and parcels sent out by this
one careless and thoughtless family
in every ten.
First find out if your family is
tie careless one, then bear in mind
that your letters must be handled
by skilled mail distributors standing
in post office and on swaying postal
cars of a mile-a-minute mail trains,
often under poor light
"The address on every letter, card,
or package must be correct, complete,
and legible, including the house num-
Der and name of street, and the From
address should be in the upper left
hand corner so that mail will be re-
turned to you in case it is not de-
liyered. Do. not abbreviate names
Of States, because so many look alike
when abbreviated.
Avoid Fanciness
Iul TIE proper amount Oh postage
on your letters and wrap the parcels
carefully. Avoid fancy writing, which
causes post office clerks and letter
carriers to stop and study, and thus
lose time. Make the address plain and
easily read, and always use pen and
ink or typewriter and light colored en-
velopes, so as to save the eyes Of the
post office clerks TO not use en-
velopes of unusual size The little ones
that are so frequently used for cards
and notes at Christmas and other
holiday times cause an untold amount
Of trouble and labor, as they will not
1T our cancelling machines and must
therefore be Cancelled by hand. Be-
cause of their size and tendency to
slip out of package, these small en-
gelopes are most likely to be over
looked or lost.
Mail your letters and packages ear
y in the day, because this avoids over
oading and delaying mail at the end
VI the day
Your local postmaster and your
eachers will tell you more about the
postal service.

he grateful appreciation of the people
