China Had Great Ruler
| in Chin Shih Huang

Fifty miles south of the Chinese
city of Picking has been discovered
the walls of an ancient city, which
flourished over 1900 years ago. The
walls embrace greater area than the
walls of Picking and lie buried at an
average depth of four feet. Late In
the Second century B. c., there arose
a king in the then comparatively small
China who compared favorably with
Alexander In conquests and empire
building and whose empire lasted al
most until the present day. This was
Chin Shin Huang, or Shih Huang TT
("The First Emperor'0, whose rule
ending in 200 B. c., marks the close of
the feudal period and the beginning
of the empire in Chinese history. Shin
Huang I'll subdued the feudal princes,
built the famed great Chinese wall
and successfully defended the country
against the Tartars from the north,
standardized money, transportation,
writing and other things which aided
Capitalization, and destroyed as much
of the ancient classics and traditions
as possible, with the idea that the
history of the Chinese empire should
begin with his reign.

larger markets are wiling TO pay d
premium for high class Wisconsin
eggs and in order to maintain a
reputation for quality the poor eggs

DON'T CUT THIRD CROP
ALFALFA" is WARNING

Badger farmers who have alfalfa
on their farms are now anxious tc
cut the third cutting.
"This third crop of alfalfa should
be left standing" warns L. F. GRADER,
alfalfa specialist, Wisconsin College
of Agriculture. "This applies to the
old stand of alfalfa"
"On account of the weather this
year, about two good cuttings arc all
that can be expected says GRADER.
although the yield of these two cut
tings has been better than any FOR
mer years crop in the experience of
the alfalfa men of the state, there is
a great danger in cutting the bun
dant fall stand"
The alfalfa specialist gives as a
last warning, Cutting alfalfa !atsr
than September is apt to be ex-
tremely disastrous, and may result
in winter killing. After a late fall
cutting there are no leaves and
stems to hold the SHOWS of the win

Good Motto for Life:
Bring Out the Best"

Did you ever stop TO think what
kind OF woman your wife would
have been II you had not asked her TO
marry you? Or did you ever imagine
what type OF man your husband
would have been if you had not an
swered Yes?
Have you ever crushed any ambi-
ton, chased away any talents or driven
inspiration from your household
What have you done to increase or de-
velop your life partners talents?
Whether you are aware of il or not,
you have either brought out the best
side of this partners life or buried all
that was good in him or her.
A good many of us possess two
sides. There are more Doctor Jekylls
and Mr.. Hydes in the world than we
realize How frequently your opirion
of man and some one else's do not
tally You will often say: 81 can't
see how Brown tolerates Jones; he's
the meaneSt man in the wCrld" And
yet Brown has found the better side
of Jones.
Have you found the better side Of
your husband or wife? Have you
done anything to bring that better side
to the front ?-Chicago Journal.
