GUESTS

There are so many homeless folk in the hotels and boarding
Houses n school dormltores-so many, too, who are unable
one reason or another to go home for the Christmas holiday
that it is al especially gracious thing for those who have homes
to invite someone of the unfortunates to share the Christmas
cheer. America is often known as the home of hospitality and
the land OF the most generous hostesses. But guests should
not take advantage of this. A well bred, considerable person
always seeks to make the hostess efforts as light as possible
when she is trying to make the visit pleasant. If the hostess
suggests some sort of entertainment, the guest should aid her
and should in all things show consideration and regard for the
rights of others in the house. Join in the conversation, even tho
you don't feel like talking;' be as witty and entertaining as
you can mot necessarily smart alec"), not moody and despon-
dent. Never keep others waiting, but be prompt, in answering
the invitation, attending the dinner, luncheon or other enter
talnment. 1t is one of the marks of good breeding.

Is Tons Average Per Acre
HOW 1915 ACRES OF BETS AT ONE RECEIVING
STATION MADE THIS PROFITABLE
r YIELD

In the season just closed the 81 farmers delivering
beets to the Lucerne, Colorado, station from 1915
measured acres made an average net tonnage of 1911
tons per acre. This station is one of the oldest in the
beet growing regions.
Eighteen growers with more than one-third of the
total acreage averaged practically 81 tons per acre.
Only five farmers had yields of less than ID tons per
acre and none went under IL tons.
Tenants farm 46 out of the 81 farms. With their
landowners they plan the rotations and feeding oper-
atoms; leases are generally for long terms; and an ex-
cellent spirit of cooperation is shown between the own
ers and tenant farmers.
One of the chief factors influencing the high Yields
is a systematic rotation on virtually every farm
alfalfa, potatoes, beets one or two years, grain, then
back to the alfalfa.
Sheep and cattle are fed on about 90 per cent of
the farms. The manure is put on the best land, or
where potatoes are grown is applied to the alfalfa and
ploWed under for the following potato sowings.
The season was not lucky or favorable for these
high yields to any greater degree than elsewhere. Good
farming was in the main responsible for the results
obtained, with soils and water supply no better than in
many other localities which made lower tonnapes.
About so per cent of the beets {. this station
were planted before April rs; 60 per cent were thinned
by June IS; 60 per cent received the first irrigation
by July 10Th. Beets were irrigated from four to six
tunes, and cultivated five or six times. A webworm in
hesitation on 896 OF these acres required spraying.
Many individual farmers in all districts obtained
yields above the average. Fertile soil, careful and
timely field work, and active desire to make the best
possible tonnage, born of satisfaction with beet grow
ing and begettlng interest, in every stage of the crop.
probably explains their success, as with the Lucerne
growers.

TAKING YOUR
OWN MEDICINE
BY THOMAS A. CLARK
Dean 81 Men, UnivsTsiey ef
Iflimoio.

COMEONE. a few days ago, was
commenting to me upon the fact
that the son of prominent automo-
bile manufacturer, instead of scoot-
ing about in a conveyance of his
fathers own make, contents himself
with an ordinary RolIs-Royce. 1t
Seems to me rather to be expected
than otherwise, for very few men are
satisfied to take their own medicine,
to use their own products, or to fol-
low their own advice.
A little neighbor boy, five years
old, whom l used frequently to talk
to, always ate his own candy and that
OF his little brother because he be-
heved in the theory that sugar is not
good for growing children.
"Bad for Gilbert" he used to say
as he wrenched a toothsome lOllypop
from the hands of his struggling
and protesting brother and stuck it
into his own mouth.
This objection to following ones
own advice is not confined to young
children and to the makers of auto
mobiles. When l was in college, at
every well-ordered fraternity house
about the campus the freshmen were
sent upstairs promptly at half-past
seven every study night with the ad-
monitor to get out the books, while
the upper classmen quite as fire.
quently as otherwise attended to
their extra-curriculum duties. They
felt quite self-satisfed and congratu-
latory when they had given virtuous
advice and had held the other men
to proper line of conduct.
was talking to Brant about his
irregular habits and the consequent
effect upon the younger men with
whom he associated.
ooh, you don't need to worry about
that" he assured me. 81 give them
good advice" 1t was simply another
case Of not letting little brother be
injured by eating candy.
1t is much easier and often much
more agreeable to lay down rules
than to follow them, to give advice
than to take it, to prescribe unpleas-
ant medicine than to swallow it our
selves. We are all wont freely to
offer to our friends and associates
advice as to eating and drinking and
exercise and study and personal con-
duct, but self-discipline in these di-
rections is quite as essential though
less easy of accomplishment. And
when we refuse to take our own
medicine there is sometimes in the
minds of those to whom we proffer it
just a shade of doubt as to our own
sincerity and genuineness.
