from such herds to owners of clean
herds. This quarantine does not pre-
vent them from selling their milk or
milk products but was made for the
reason as above stated. We assure
you we will place an organization in
the county and subject all herds in
which animals giving positive reac-
tions and also all herds in which
animals giving suspicious reactions
were disclosed, next October. We will
continue to retest any herds that may
react each four months until all Of
them have passed at least one COM
plete negative test. We will then be
in position to assure cattle owners
of your county, as well as parties
buying butter or milk products from
your county, that every herd in the
county has passed at least one COM
plete negative test and that every
herd in which any reactors have been
disclosed have been successfully
tested until it has passed at least one
negative test.

A Check on Assessors.

ut is interesting to know that your
assessors returns of last year as you
reported to us, and from which we
arranged our plan of organization, dis
closed total of 46,041 cattle and a
total of 3,4O6 herds. This includes
the herds in the country as we'll as
the lots located in the villages. 1 do
not know what your assessment re-
turn disclosed this year but l am
sure this report will be of assistance
to you and your county board in
checking your assessors returns.
1--WE found there was a number of
cards that you had prepared for us
for cattle owners from last years
return and which were not turned
back to us by the veterinarians as
they could not locate the herds. We
will therefore undertake to check
such names of owners of herds when
we place our organization in the
county to make the first retest of the
infected herds in October.
81 am sure you and the members of
your county board as we'll as the tax
payers of your county will be highly
gratified to learn the results of this
test.
Herds Number $500.
"You will note there is some dis
crepancy in the total number of cat
tie we gave you at the time we COM
pleted the test and which we had
given to you as a result of a hurried
compilation of the reports of the "a
veterinarians. At that time we adj
vised there were 1881 herds tested,
whereas now it is disclosed there
were 3,640 herds. This is explained
by the fact that the veterinarians
turned in individual cards on lots of
cattle that were in community pas
lures and of necessity we have
changed our records in order to in
clude the cattle owned by each indi-
vidual farmer in one herd, thus ac-
counting for this discrepancy. You

''NOthi,,g to DO''

IF you find yourself now and then
with nothing to do, be careful. It

unced that people who are con-
tinually wondering what they can do
With their time are very likely to get
into mischief, and often serious mis-
chief.
II you will keep your mind on your
Job while you are working at 1t you
will lack time or opportunity to get
flnd time hanging heavy on your hands,
look out.
The nrst thing you know you will
fall into the company of people who.
Ike you, are wondering how they can
spend their time, and who in the end
seek the wrong way OF spending 1t.
know many men who have hobbies
which they take up out of working
hours, when they feel the need Of a
hobbies they devote a very small share
Of their time The major part of it
Is spent at work at their trades or pro-
fessions, for they have found out that,
with the spread of education and Of
competition. only those who devote all
the mind they possess to getting along
will ever amount to anything.
Take up fads. If you like. and can
afford them. Raise flowers, play golf,
study music. it doesn't matter what
you do. as long as it doesn't cut down
the time you need for your job. which
is the one you have chosen for life
occupation, and the one which you
must depend on for your bread and
butter, and for your happiness as we'll.
No one can be really happy unless he
Is at least moderately successful.
No one can be even moderately sue
cessful unless he devotes more time
and thought to his calling than to
anything else in the world. Taking a
few days of to go to base ball games

Remember that your main job is the
one that brings you an income and
gives up an opportunity to rise in the
world. Stick to that
Study it in books. Learn about it
from experts. Think about it at night,
instead of wondering how you are
going to spend on evening. Then you
will never find yourself with nothing
to do" You will never be bored. You
will always be hopeful
Presently you will reach the point

said repeatedly: Cod-liver oil is unnec-

1t is September, and from this month
until June, I shall have to be remind
ing the backsliders that cod-liver OIL
is a daily necessity for all children up
to two years of age. and beyond that
period if the doctor so advises.
This isn't a fad. Cod-liver oil is an
insurance against ailments engenoereo
by mineral starvation. The human
body needs sunshine to foster the
heal.hy deposit of minerals in the bones.

these minerals from its diet OF milk.

the body may be provided with sufnc-

ability to use them. That vital. nutri-
tional element, vitamin D, Is lacking.
What may We do?
During the Winter months we sub

The use of cod-liver oil daily supplies
the body with vitamin D. The minerals

Yours truly, PEARL KUHL."
Yes, it is true that the earth turns
on its axis. It rotateS once in "a hours,
and that motion gives US night and day.
Part of the time North American faces
the sun and has daylight while Asia
has night. but when North America is
facing away from the sun we have
night and Asia has daylight.
The axis of the sun is not like the
axle of an auto wheel. We might call
1t a theory axis; it is there. even
though no axle cuts through the earth
from pole to pole.
Many scientists believe that the
earth obtained its twisting motion when
it was flung from the sun long ago.
We might compare the motion with a
curving pitch on the base ball field.
The base ball twists around and around
as it travels toward the catcher. In
such a case the base ball has an axis
similar to the one the earth possesses.
Il is safe to call the moon dead
world. If there is any air or water on
the moon, 1t is of such small amount
that the best instruments Of astrono-
mers have not revealed it. Without air
and water no plant or animal could
live. There are mountains on the moon
which are much like those of the earth.
but the dark makings which we see
without the help Of a telescope are the
shadows cast by the mountains rather
than the mountains themselves. The
moon gets its Eight from the sun. and
when mountains are in the way OF
the suns light, shadows are formed.
We have no certain proof that any
planet except the earth IS the home OF
people It is not likely that people
could live on such planets as Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune or Pluto because they
are so far distant from the sun that
their surface must be extremely cold
On the other hand, there is good
chance that people Of some sort live
on Venus and Mars, but II Is not GER
tain that they do.

ing rain. All afternoon he called and
all afternoon the sky was watched, but
not a cloud appeared.
He isn't calling rain at ALL" declared
Sammy Jay. He Is only pretending.
I suppose that is his idea Of a Joke"
Then. in their disappointment, all the
Ettle people turned against Stickytoes
with even more bitterness than they
had when they thought he was refusing
to call rain. They hated him. First
lie had failed to call rain when all his
neighbors were suffering from lack Of
it and now he was pretending to call
rain.
Perhaps he can't really call it," ven
tured Tommy Tit the Chickadee.
But at this all the others scoffed.
Everybody knew that he could call rain.
Hadn't he done it before? OF course
he had! Everybody knew that. And
50 as he continued to call and not even
one small cloud appeared. they grew
more and more angry. Some Of them
few over to look for him. But when
they discovered that that voice was
coming from the vine on Farmer
Browns porch and that Mother Brown
was sitting on the porch. they did not
quite dare fly over to it to look for him.
Now Tommy Tit was quite right.
Stickytoes cannot call rain. OF course
not. He wasn't pretending to call rain.
That day. instead Of going back to his
hole in the flower box, he had remained
in the vine. He didn't know himself
just why. He had had feeling that
he ought to-that something was going
to happen. And then in the afternoon
he knew what it was. There was just
a wee., wee bit of dampness in the air
Others couldn't feel it, but he could
He is made that way. And he knew
from long experience that when there
was dampness in the air like that, even
though not cloud was to be seen, rain
would soon follow.
Yes, sir. must tell every
body the good news"
So he began to call. He wasn't call
ing rain. OF course not He was SIM
ply calling the good news that there
would be rain soon. And because the
others didn't understand this and be-
cause it didn't rain at once, they mis-
judged him. That is the way of the
world. What it does not understand
it condemns and the innocent suffer
therefrom. It always has been so and
probably always will be so.
Night came and in the night some
thing happened. 1t began to sprinkle.
Then it rained in earnest When day
broke 1t was still raining and it rained
all that day. The terrible drought was
ended. And to this day his neighbors
do not know whether Stickytoes the

tending to. But you and know that
