YOUR ENEMIES

ONE of the most successful public
men in this country began life
by making an enemy. This enemy
was the kind of an enemy that Mark
Twain called permanent and reli-
able.'
He was on the job all the time. He
had a diabolical ingenuity, which he
employed in devising ways and means
to keep the public man out of office
and to blight his political ambitions.
Sometimes he succeeded. Oftener
he didn't.
For the very fact of his enmity kept
the other man keyed up to the highest
pitch.
He knew that a single mistake of
judgment would bring his enemy down
upon him. He avoided ever the APP
pearance of evil lest he be put into
a false position.
And he himself confesses today that
he owes his present eminence, which
is very great, to the keenness and
alertness of this implacable enemy.
We never succeed without battles,
and battles are always between enc
mics.
The course of success is as rough as
the our of true love.
Moving along slowly and easily dulls
the senses, as slipping downstream
over the water in a canoe induces
drowsiness.
To go upstream in a boat you must
battle with the current. The battle
develops muscles, and after a few of
them you make much better progress.
You must meet and match brains
with those of other men.
If they are strong and energetic, and
cunning and crafty, it will take all the
mental alertness you have to defeat
them.
But whether you win or lose in the
preliminary skirmishes, every little
sharpens your wits and
strengthens your determination.
Don't be afraid of enemies. Do not
make them unnecessarily, but unless
you have a few OF them, and a few
able ones, you will be very seriously
handicapped in the game you are
playing.

SEED CORN SHOULD BE
TESTED BEFORE PLANTED

All seed corr should be tested for
termination before it is put in the
ground regardless of the looks of the
seed and the treatment it has had.
Although there may be little danger
from loss of seed by no termination
this spring due to the favorable corn
season we had a year ago, there has
come to our attention lots of good
looking samples of seed corn that
T showing weak termination.
Out of the 35 varieties of samples
that were sent in to the county agent
supposed to be the cream of the seed
corn of the county, there were ten
of these samples that looked very
bright and hardy but showed poor
and weak termination. This same
corn planted in the fields would give
poor results.
pie and takes only a few minutes of
anyone's time. Take an ordinary
-four sack that has been marked in
squares, take a few representative
samples of your seed corn or any seed
that you want to test, put it in this
sack and fold the sides and roll it up
end ways, place one end of the roll
in a basin partly filled with water
and keep the tester in a room with
a temperature of about 70 degrees for
about five or six days, open and read
the termination. Each kernel of corr
should have two hardy shoots coming
from it, one the root and the other
the stem. If it has only one shoot
you cannot give it credit for a good
termination and it will not grow in
the field.
Let's not lose a large acreage of
corn by not taking the time to test
our seed. Acres have been lost time
and again and acres will be lost by
farmers who are careless of their
seed.-D. B. Noble, Co. Agent. !

THE FAMILY FOOD

IF THE mother in the home is not
a. interested enough in the Welfare
Of her family to read and keep in
formcd n regard to the proper feed
ing of her family. how can the health
Of IL nation be conserved?
IT is not necessary that she be a
trained teacher of household conom
| les to be. able to understand the hal
ancing of a menu or the rationing of
food. Just the intelligent reading of
some of the countless articles In
books, magazines and papers will be
4 sufficient guide. In case of Illness,
pf. course. the physicians advice
should always be followed. but much
i'll health would be eliminated If more
study were given to proper foods.
Fruits and vegetables are the great
properly blended tonics and foods
which contain wonderful aids to. diges-
ton and the proper functioning of
the nervous system and vital organs.
and furnish bone and tissue building
elements.
Fruits and vegetables can be pro
cured the year round and the neglect
Of their use will be some sort of a
breakdown in the health.
We need all the acids, mineral salts
and vitamines just as nature put
them together, so when possible un-
cooked fruits and vegetables should
be served to conserve these valuable
properties.
If we use the fruits and vegetables
as they come in season or that we
are able to store for winter use, like
the onion, beets, squash, celery, ruta-
baga, cabbage and carrot, we may, at
little expense, have a variety of vege-
tables. For fruits we have the win
ter keeping apple; citrus fruits are
with us all the year, and during the
months when they are used and en-
joyed the most they are fortunately
the most plentiful and cheapest.
Parsnips will soon be with us. as
well as salsify-both splendid vege-
fables which we will do well to serve
as often as the family can be per
to enjoy them. Try this com
bination-it is not common:
ScaIIoped Parsnips With Tomato.
Fry a medium-sized onion in a table
spoonful of fat until a golden brown.
Add one pint of stewed tomato, sea
son with salt and pepper, a bit of
and a pinch of Glove or two
whole cloves, one ~teaspoonful of
Simmer until a smooth mix
is obtained. Place a layer of
Iced, boiled, sailed parsnips in a shall
ow baking dish, her add a layer of
he tomato sauce and repeat, having
layer of parsnips on top. Sprinkle
With W o tablespoonfuls of cheese
cover with o%ne-fourth of a cupful
If bnttered bread crumbs. Brown In

and energies that spell success have
achieved or have begun to achieve,
their destinies. Political and economic
views have in general become more
conservative, while the religious and
philosophical views Of those who have
not lost interest in such matters have,
as rule, become broader as well as
more mellow. All in all, the good
fellows" who foregather at this time
go home from their reunion knowing
not only whether their expectations of
one another have been fulfilled, but
also without much doubt as to
whether they ever will be. No other
reunion has been or will again be as
large as this. 1t is the last real flare

A pretty midget, weight So pounds,
announced that she would marry a
man who tips the beam at 206. They
took out license. Pondering which,
we reflected that such a marriage
would be the working Of basic nat
ural law-nature evening things up,
restoring the balance, the same as big
women marrying little men, Beauty
mating with Beast, and similar con-
trast Of emotion, intellect and char
acter. But our philosophical bubble
was exploded when the press agent
reported the marriage called off, says
the Chicago Evening Post He got
some free advertising. Most things of
life are so simple they are obvious,
but generally people complicate them
by attempting to find mysterious hid
den principles and forces that do not
exist. That's why shortcut thinking
is rare.

BARBER WENT TOO FAR

II the average American were as
much afraid of being called an "easy
mark" as he is of being called a"cheap
skate" more BARRIERS and bootblacks
and walters and hat-check boys would
be taken into court. as was barber
in this city. His customer, nom
believer in tipping, did not come
across" so he added ten cents TO
the Bill, The customer had him ar
rested ON charge of petty larceny,
and already has expended many
times ten cents to promote the prose
cution. II don't care about the dime"
said the customer. "but this is going
to be a test case if / have to spend
thousand dollars" Tipping should
be matter of individual election.
Some of us do not object to it; are
rather pleased than otherwise to OBJ
tain extra attention for small largess.
But compulsory tipping, remarks the
New York Morning Telegraph, is quite
as vicious In principle as a law for
bidding tipping altogether.

81 BILLS TO STAY

The Treasury department has little
regard for the superstitious. judging
from the recent statement that no
foundation existed for the reported
plan to discontinue the printing Of 81
bills. The first announcement brought
several letters of congratulatory tone
to the department, indicating the ex-
tent to which the public has accepted
the absurd belief that currency Of that
denomination is unlucky and a null
sance as well. Some DIRECTORS as
serted that since they came into pos
session of few So bills they were likely
to confuse those with the 81 green
backs, although no more reason exists
for that mistake than for a similar
slip with a five-spot. The treasury
subordinates sentiment to common
sense, and believes that needed
place, exists for the two because 1t
takes only half as many of them to do
the work of an equivalent amount of
ones and because paymasters in some
sections of the country find them con-
venient. The prejudice against the 50
bill, especially among those who re-
gard 1t as a harbinger Of misfortune,
has resulted In mutilation Of the bills,
usually by tearing off a corner. Be
cause of superstition the bills have a
short life.

THE GRADE CROSSING

Death still maintains his supremacy
as the most efficient traffic patrolman,
as the toll of single day so terribly
Indicates. Probably it was not an un-
usual day, but merely one on which
the tragic tolls of carelessness were
compiled In single total-that of 20
deaths of motorists at grade crossings
throughout America. Such tragedies
are clearly avoidable It seems futile
to say that they are, in face of the
disregard that men have for common
perils, but until that lesson Is dinned
into the ears and consciousness of
every driver such loss Of life will con-
tinue to be incidental to pleasure. The
grade crossing is always dangerous,
never to be approached without re-
spectful caution, never to be negoti-
ated without preliminary compliance
with the old formula, "Stop, look and
listen" If motorists will only re-
member that a menace haunts each
crossing, hiding its time, awaiting the
approach Of the reckless motorists,
contriving the dreadful conjunction of
engine and automobile, there will be
no such tragedies, for the tragedy of
the grade crossing is that sort Of
tragedy which cannot strictly be
termed accidental. Always it is avoid
able, always it could be forestalled by
caution.

The outstanding feature of the 1922
trade in Dutch Guiana, says Consul G.
w. Davis, in a report to the Depart
ment Of Commerce, is that import fig
lures show a decline in value from all
countries, as compared with 1921, ex-
cept those from the United States,
which show a slight increase, due in
part to improved steamship communal
cation. Export figures show a general
decline to all countries except to the
United States and the other Guianas.
Totals were somewhat less in 1922
than in 1921.
