Santa Claus and his reindeer have
nothing on DR.. Hasty and his auto
sled. So far he has not needed to
descend a chimney, but the spring is
yet young, and if the drifts get much
higher he can make the ridge-pole
and drop down, providing it is
large chimney. He skins across the
fields and over fences, taking short
cuts regardless of roads. 1t has been
a blessing both to the doctor and his
widely-scattered patients these days

The meeting of the Farm Bureau
with Mrs. Grace Hanna Wednesday,
for an all-day session, when MILL
merry was demonstrated, was pro-
ductive of large results-Easter hats
(Which will be kept in cold storage),
better understanding of the work
of the Bureau, a jolly picnic dinner
and bond of neighborly helpfulness.
Miss Howe, the demonstration, amid
all the confusion of hats in all stages,
never lost her poise or patience.
The day was all too short, and en-
thusiasm ran high at it's close. TO

WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

ID EMEMBER that your face
TX is an advertisement; 1t
~ shows the public what men
tai and moral goods you have to
offer it.
Simple is the language Of truth.
True friendships are rarely
found in those who are occupied
in the pursuit of nonOrs.
The evidence OF nature is worth.
more than the arguments of
learning.
Let all villainy be dismissed!
That you may be loved, be
loVable.
Wit, when temperate, is pleas
ing, when unbridled 1t offends.
Confidence in matters of great
magnitude is apt to come slowly.
You will be of as much worth
to others as you are to yourself.
1t is folly to take out unwilling
dogs to hunt.
To do the right thing in the
wrong way is not right.
He that forgives the transgres-
sor gains the victory.
Venture your opinion, but not
yourself for your opinion.
It becomes no wise man to ex-
pose himself to danger on ac-
count of the faults or follies of
others.
Hope. thou nurse of young de-
sire
Forgiveness to the injured does
belong,
But they neer pardon who have
done the wrong. Dryden.
1t is better to please a fool
than to anger him.
Great faults may grow out of
great virtues in excess.
Music is the sweet solace of
labor.
Justice knows neither father
nor mother, but has regard only
to truth.
He labors in vain who tries to
please all.
Life is ended when honor ends,
The bigger things are easier to
do than the smaller things-and
there's less competition,
Most people live by hearsav.
hence the pathetic state of things
today when contradictory voices
fill the air with their various
dogmatisms. The remedy lies in
the cultivation of habit of
original thinking.

Girl Wife Slain

~ OME-Police have revealed
X brutal crime near Spoleto.
A blacksmith of that town,
young man of twenty-four, had
a wife of but eighteen, with whom
ne was not always on good terms.
A few days ago, however, he in
duced her to go for a walk in the
country to spot where very
nigh bridge ran across a ravine.
She was afraid, but could not
help herself and followed him
reluctantly. AS soon as they
reached the bridge a quarrel arose
between them, ond the husband,
becoming Infatuated, seized his
wife in his arms and threw her
over the parapet from a height
or eighty metres. The scene was
witnessed by monk, looking
over from a monastery higher up,
but he could do nothing but
notify his superior.

BIG ELECTRIC
ADV ANCES
FORECAST

AYEW YORK. - Stupendous adj
M vances in electricity are fore.
~ Swallowed. DR.. Frank B.
Jewett, president of the American
Institute of Electrical Engineers
and vice-chairman OF the Engl-
! neering Foundation, declared at
the twenty-fourth summer session
convocation at Columbia Univer-
sity, attended by teachers and stu
dents from all parts of the coun-
try.
80 vast is the present stream
of new knowledge from research
work in the field of the structure
of the atom and of the properties
of ions, electrons and protons,
said DIR. Jewett, that one dare not
predict what the future has Ill
store for u.s."
DIR. Jewett, whose subject was
The Age of Electricity" added
that "as a result of the knowledge
acquired since we first began to
have an insight into the mocha
nism of electricity there has de-
veloped and is still developing a
knowledge of the ultimate struc-
ture of matter and Of the various
manifestations Of what we term
energy which have not only tend
ed to break down and diffuse many
of the old barriers which sepa-
rated the so-called sciences, but
also give basis for the belief that,
in the last analysis, all matter and
forms of energy are different mani.
festations of electricity in it's prim-
ordial form.
IF this turns out to be so, then
we have indeed a real justification
for the allegation that we are liv-
ing in an age Of electricity.
Whether the electrons and protons
of our present knowledge are in
fact the ultimate devices of these
great protean forces, we have no
present means of knowing, but
even if they are not later found
to be composites of some infinitely
smaller units, our present knowl-
edge of them is sufficient to open
up wide Vistas of practical appli-
cations of electricity compared
with which the developments OF
the present will pale into insignifi-
Cance."
Stupendous advances are fore
Swallowed by discoveries of the
last two decades, DR.. Jewett de-
Clared.

Improved Planes
Observation-Disclosures

II ONDON.-Propellerless aero
planes are the latest prob
- able invention of scientists.
Laboratory research has shown
that air, compressed and mixed
with fuel in a combustion cham
Der, could be projected through
nozzle at the rear of the aero
plane, and the reaction to it's dis
charge would necessarily drive
the machine through the air.
The only drawback to this
means of propulsion, 1t Is thought,
would be the .heaviness Of the
mechanism and the high fuel
