and thus avoid the hit or miss plant
ing which usually results from buy
ing seed just when needed
In general there is little to be
gained from changing seedsmen from
year to year after satisfactory
source has once been found. On the
other hand there are plenty of re-
liable dealers and no real excuse for
using inferior seed year after year,
The slightly higher cost of good seed
is saved many times over in the re-
suting good crops.

Everyday Law Cases
Does Death Of Either Party AT
feet Suit for Breach OF
Promise?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

John Moore proposed in haste and
was now repenting at leisure. He was
a retired business man, and his fiancee
was Jane Kane, professional dancer.
To avoid difficulties with his fiancee,
Moore informed her of his change of
heart and offered her a sum of money
to alley her injured feelings. His over
lures for a peaceful settlement met
with rebuff, and he soon found him.
self the defendant in suit for breach
of promise.
All negotiations pending the hearing
of the case failed, Jane Kane insisting
on going to trial The worry affected
Moore, and as a result he died few
weeks before the hearing. He left a
large estate.
On the day of the trial, Moore's at
tOrneys appeared in court and asked
that the case be dismissed because of
the death of their client. James at
torneys objected, contending that as
Moore had caused the wrong and his
death in no way alleviated the injury
that resulted, his estate should be held
liable.
The court, however. dismissed the
case. stating the following rule:
The general rule is that a cause of
action for the breach of a promise OF
marriage does not survive the death
OF either the promisee or promisor. No
action can be brought by or against
the personal representative of the de-
ceased party to the contract, and
where the death occurs after an ac-
ton has begun, the action abates and
cannot be revived"

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Angels Song of Peace.

Text; GLORY to God in the highest.
and on earth peace, good will among
men. Luke, lila.
When the fullness of time was come
and the appearance of the worlds
long-looked-for Messiah was at hand.
the angelic choir stepped from behind
the curtain of clouds that wells the
unseen realm and burst forth singing:
GLORY to God in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will among men,"
Shepherds. minding their f1ocks by
night out on the plains of Judea,
caught up the song, and. passing from
lip to lip, it has come down through
the centuries, echoing and re-echoing
over hill and valley and strand. And
as this birth song of the Prince of
Peace has sung its way through the
passing ages and around the world
war-enthralled peoples everywhere
have felt the stir of new hope-the
hope for the coming of the long -proph-
esled age of peace, when humanity
shall be delivered out of the cruel
bondage of war systems into the
grander liberty of brotherhood and
good WILL when soldiers shall beat
their swords into plowshares and their
spears into pruning hooks, when the
Prince Of Peace shall reign over all
the nations on earth. and men shall
learn war no more, forever.
May the day not be far distant in the
future when this hope, which has for
so long been the silver lining in the
cloud of mankind's greatest woe, shall
be fully realized. To the end that we
may help bring to pass its realization,
let us, during this happy yuletide,
attune our hearts anew to that
heavenly melody of peace and good
will. as sung by the angels to the
shepherds of Judea

YOUR MIND
BY PROF. JOSEPH JASTROW.
And How to Keep 1t Fit

ly dispense with all those gratings
that make it look like place where
we put thieves when we can catch
them. Our most precious valuables
we put in safety deposit vaults; more
expensive hardware.
Things have meaning only as they
reveal how we behave and what we
believe. The meaning of the hardware
shop or the bank is a lesson about
honesty or the lack of it. It's also a
sideshOw exhibit of temptation. Yet
we live with many of our doors un-
latched, and bring up children so that
many tempting chances cease to
tempt. It's pleasant to see news
papers offered ION honor" on the pub
lie street, but not 50 pleasant to think
that fruit stands can't be conducted
on the same plan. It's a lucky school
or college that can conduct eXamina-
tons on the honor system" When
ever you pass temptation. you pass
an examination in honesty; and pretty
soon you don't even know you're
doing it. Yet so long as temptation
is too strong for some weak souls to
resist. all of us have to spend good
money on hardware. 1t will be fine
world when we can junk locks and
bolts and bars.

To Wash Glassware.

Tumblers. glass dishes and bowls
and other glassware should be washed
in warm, not hot, soapy water, then
rinsed in cold water. Special linen
glass towels should be kept for wiping
glassware, and it should be well
polished with dry cloth. To remove
stains from glass bottles, peel and cut
a raw potato into small dice. Put
these in the bottle or decanter with
little cold water. Shake the bottle
well until the stains disappear. Pow
dered charcoal mixed with a little cold
water and placed in the bottle helps
to remove stains and brightens the
glass. Rinse we'll in cold water and
turn upside down to drain before
Wiping. Flower vases should be
washed with warm water. to which
raw potato should be added if they
are very dirty. Rinse with cold water.

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo patri

Patty was a beautiful little girl.
But obstinate. When her mother said.
Don't do that Patty" Patty would
straighten up her little figure and an
nounce, Il will. l want to-"
Do you know that is what every
body, big and little, does? He says.
II will. l want to-" And he does.
The two are parts of the one idea.
What we want to do is what we do.
We like to think that is not so at times,
but a little thought will show us the
truth of the matter. We will do
things because we want to do them
and we won't do things because we
don't want to do them.
Now if we can get a child, a high
strung, self-willed child, to want to
do what is good for him, or her. the
job is done. We usually set about
the thing at the wrong end. We say
"You WILL" but we should be saying,
Don't you want? Don't you wish?"
Haven't you tried to make a boy
eat according to a diet table, wash
according to a prescribed ritual, sleep
according to the doctors rule that
called for 10 hours a day? And
didn't you have a dreadful time of
it? You nagged and you begged and
you punished and you threatened and
he did what he couldn't help doing.
No more.
1.-THE only thing he wants to do is
play" Right! Play is the serious
business of childhood. Don't speak
slightingly of it. Play is the instinct
that drives this child to do and there
by to grow. If you want to make a
child want to do what is good for him
tie the good to his wish and you have
the working combination.
Here's the training schedule. You
fellows want to play on the team
that's what you have to do. Any fell
low caught smoking, eating candy
between meals. sleeping less than 10
hours, not following health rules as
laid down here, is fired. Only those
sticking to the training table can be-
long TO the team in any capacity"
Now watch. That boy will weep
salty tears into his plate if the spinach
has been forgotten. How do you
expect me to keep a place on the team
if | don't get my spinach?'
