HOW LITTLE WE KNOW

How little we know of each other,
AS we pass through the journey Of
life,
With its struggles, its fears, it's
temptations,
Its heart-breaking cares and its
strife.
How little we know of each other.
That woman of fashion who sneers
At the poor girl betrayed and aban-
oned
And left to her sins and her tears.
May ere the sun rises tomorrow
Have the mask rudely torn from
her face.
And sink from the heights of her
glory
To the dark shades of shame and
disgrace.
How little we know of each other,
That man who today passes by
With honor and pride of possession
And holding his proud head on high,
May carry a dread secret within Lin
Which makes his bosom a hell.
And he sooner or later a felon,
May writhe in a prisoners cell.
How little we know of each other,
OF ourselves too little we know;
We are all weak when under temp
tation,
And subject to error and woe.
Then let blessed charity rule US;
Let US put away envy and spite.
For the skeleton grim in our closet
May some day be brought to light.

SCHOOL PROGRESS
Dorothea Webster

Parents are very likely to b.
proud when their children make
brilliant records In school. 1t is ma
tural. However, great care should
be taken that children are not push
ed forward faster than they should
20, taking all things into considera-
ton.
In some cases. bright pupils are
encouraged to skip a grade. With
certain exceptions this practice Is
unwfse. II the work Of certain
grade needs to be done In order to
Law the proper foundations. as a
rule IL should be done by all, that
this foundation work may be COM
plete and entire.
Nevertheless, 1t must be said that
II a child's native ability carries
him far in advance OF his class,
without special effort on his part.
he will prove the exception to the
above rule: he should not be held
hack. In many cities there are now
special classes for gifted" chill
dren. as it has been found that 1t is
usually much better for them to
study with others of equal mental
ability. When such schools are not
within reach, teachers Will general
" supply extra, interesting activi-
ties for unusually bright children.
Boredom is harmful.
But let us consider parents who
are vain enough and selfish enough
to want to gain distinction In the
community for themselves and their
families through the rapid promo
ton of their children d. in school.
When this puts the boy or girl I'M
der a strain, It is from every view
point a great disadvantage to the
child. It is likely to give him a
false estimate of his ability and per-
haps to overtax him nervously or
mentally. Some children are so con-
stituted that they can advance with
a marked degree of readiness up to
a certain point. but then IL urged
forward, they suddenly find them
selves in beyond their depth. After
that, school is apt to become irk-
some and the former star" pupil
may prove to be a good deal Of a
failure from that point on.
Then, again. comparisons with re-
gard to school progress, in general
conversation. il not "odious" are at
least unwise Pupils who seem to
have relatively limited ability for

THE MAN WHO WINS
BY Charles R. Bartlett

BY Charles r. Bartlett
The man who wins is an average
man,
Not built on any particular plan;
Not blessed with any peculiar luck,
Just steady and earnest and full of
pluck.
When asked a question he does not
guess
He knows and answers mo" or
yes"
When set a task that the rest can't
do.
He buckles down till he's put it
through.
Three things he learned-that the
man who tries
Finds favor in his employers eyes;
That it pays to know more than one
thing we'll.
And it doesn't pay all he knows to
tell
So he works and works till one fine
day
There's a better job with higher
pay;
And the men who shirked whenever
they could
Are bossed by the man whose work
made good.
For the man who wins is the man
who works
Who neither trouble nor labor
shirks:
Who uses his hands. Ills head. his
eyes.
The man who wins is the man who
tries.

GIVE ADVICE ABOUT
SPRAY SERVICE

berry moth, the growers have been
advised to use the 6-l2-10O Bordeaux
mixture. which consists Of 8 pounds
of copper sulphate (bIuestone) and
II pounds of hydSated lime to 100
gallons of water, to which should be
added 4 pounds of afsenate of lead.
This spreay should be followed
with another application of the same
materials just as soon as the vines
have passed the blossoming period.
Following the after-blossom stage
the next application, which is
known as the Today spray; calls for
the same materials and should be
applied just before the grapes
touch each other in the clusters. or
when they are about the size OF
garden peas. Usually the period be-
tween sprays is not more than two
weeks. but in seasons when the per-
iod between the pte-blossom and
after-blossom stage Is delayed more
than one week an extra Bordeaux
spray may be required to check the
black rot and anthracnose.
In all of these sprays in which a
poison is used. a change from ar
of lead to calcium arsenate
is possible in order to eliminate the
difficulties with the regulations on
lead residue The optional mater
ials for these sprays include the g.
12-10O Bordeaux mixture with 21s
pounds of calcium arsenate and l
pint of fish oil.
In order to secure a satisfactory
control Of grape diseases and in
sects 1t is very essential that the
vines and clusters be sprayed thor
oughly under a pressure of from
ESQ to 300 pounds to insure a good
of the spray.

IT'S YOU

If you want to live in the kind of a
town.
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in
grip
And start on a long. long hike.
You'll only find what you left be-
hind.
There's nothing that's really new.
It's a knock at yourself
When you knock your town
So it isn't your town-it's you.
Big towns are not made by men
who're afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works
And nobody shirks
You can raise a town from the
dead.
And. II while you make
Your personal stake
Your neighbor can make one too.
Your town will be. what you want
to see
So it isn't your town-it's you.

Farmers Much Delayed
In Their Work

IN AMChE WOEA
The recent heavy rains hav
about flooded the country. Field
are in such a miry condition tina
farmers cannot go upon them. Thu
spring planting is much delayed
and in fact the low lands in Thu
neighborhood will have to be aban-
doned for this year.
Those farmers who have straw
berries have a hard time in getting
/ them to market in proper condition
owing to so much rain. The berries
are soft and unless the rain ceases
and the sun shines out brightly. the
strawberry crop in this section will
be a failure.
Some of our townsmen have
planted their gardens twice and
still have nothing to show for their
work. The seed we're drowned out
and rotted in the ground. These
people have abandoned any more
planting for this year.
Canmery Should Be ReOpened
The large canneTy owned by Mr..
Archer, of Aberdeen. Md. situated
on State street. should be reopened
by some one.
The farmers need this factory to
take care of the tomatoes which
they grow. AS it is now. they have
to depend on trucks to haul their
stock to canneries situated in towns
some miles away.
II would be much better II the
farmers could contract their toma-
toes with packers near by. Not only
this but it would give work for the
laboring classes in the place where
the cannery is situated and also
hel D the merchants.
The Archer Cannery is large and
could by spending a small amount
for repairs. be put in first class
condition.
We understand that Mr.. Archer,
owing to i'll health will either sell
or rent the factory for reasonable
sum.
Here is a chance for some Of our
men with money. to invest their
surplus in a business. IL managed
right. should pay a fair profit on the
