TEACH CHILDREN TO
LOVE THE BEAUTIFUL
Lille M. Saunders


All children should be taught the
love of good music, good literature
and flowers. Be the home ever SO
humble" there is no excuse for not
making it attractive with growing
plants, books and magazines, and
music in some form.
There is little that is more enjoy
able and beneficial in the home than
music. A busy mother will not al
ways have time to play for her chill
dren on a musical instrument and
the radio program, even II available,
will often be in appropriate, but
most mothers can sing with the lit
tie ones and teach them songs that
they will love. Even very young chill
dren quickly learn to distinguish
one song from another and show
their preference and appreciation. If
a mother forms the habit of singing
as she works, she will find that her
many tasks will be performed more
easily and quickly. She will be more
relaxed and will not tire so soon
and, oh, how the children love
singing, smiling mother!
Books and magazines should very
early be placed in the wee ones
hands, but under kindly watchful-
ness at first. Children must be
taught how to use books and shown
that they give the most pleasure
when treated with gentle considera-
tion.>
Growing plants do much to make
the home attractive. ALLOW the little
ones to have some of their very
own both indoors and out, II pos

And let the world see you're a chip
of your dad.
My son, all the thorns on the trail
I've been through
crushed under footprints left wait
ing for you,
To help make it easy for you to
| succeed;
! And often when comfort requested
a need,
l sacrificed things-little things, so
your heart
! Would fill with the gladness of joys
to impart
To others, so you would be liked as
you went
Through years yet to own that your
father has spent.
The time seems to leap over years 1
recall,
Which you have forgotten, for you
were so small,
But l can remember when you we're
tot,
The first time you fell while at play
in the lot;
You came to my arms with the tears
in your eyes
And told me your story between
sobs and sighs,
And showed me your bruises while
l kissed each place.
And wiped all the tears and the dirt
from your face.
Thor h,o,,ai,, ,,o,, 1ad ,n., IN 1.-bara
the stone lay
On which you had tripped in the
rapture of play;
picked up that stone, realizing, my
son,
A life full of duties had only begun. :
l vowed would watch every danger
that came,
To save you from stumbles and
heartaches and blame,
So life would be sunshine for you,
my dear lad,
And l could make good in my job
as a dad.
And now you are grown-oh, I'm
proud of you. son, :.
want you to know that I'll always
be one
In whom you can trust-and want
you to feel
AS proud of your dad-and when
shadows may steal
And cover the sunbeams that bright
en- the trail,
Just call to a dad who you Enow
will not fail
To keep you from stumbling on
paths you go through,
For that is one job that this dad
loves to do.
A dad may seem cold and indiffer-
ent and hide
and love that is burning
inside,
But dads are that way, and deserve
to be blamed;
II seems all their sternness has
made them ashamed
To tell their own sons every dream
in the heart,
Until it's too late and they drift far
apart;
But, son, will stick to the job I
began
And be a real pal even though
you're a man.

sumption that one bushel of alfalfa
seed was used for each acre, al
though this quantity has been var
led somewhat in accordance with the
fertility of the soil.
Within this period of eight years
the average amount of alfalfa seed
distributed in Kent county was 317
bushels per year, and this quantity
was sufficient to plant on the year
ly average of 947 acres. The 1884
survey indicated that 212 bushels of
alfalfa seed were sold, and also that

DADS JOB

BY (The Wandering Poet)
My son, you are all that dad could
expect
Your shoulders and chest, as you
stand so erect,
Should fill you with pride, and that
spark in your eye
Reflects every joy that heart can
supply;
And now as your hand into my hand
l place,
cannot but think as we stand face
to face
You've grown to mana real red
blooded man
love and respect like dad only
can.
You know it is hard for father to
show
The love and affection a mother
must know;
There seems to be something so ten
der and grand
That throbs in the heart that l don't
understand,
And yet, my dear boy, love you
that's true.
And all of my dreams seem to CEN
ter on you;
1 hope you'll forgive the mistakes
on my part,
For, son. they have panied me deep
down in the heart.
l haven't shed tears for a dad must
have pride
And yet, many times they have fall
len inside
When nobody knew, and SO often
I'd feel
That lump in my throat which l had
to conceal;
tell you these things so you'll
know that dad
Has feelings which you never
thought that he had;
And all of the things l compelled
you to do
Were done to avoid future heart
aches for you.
And now as you stand on the thres-
hold of strife,
Which comes to each one on the
pathway of life,
Don't think you have tasted each
sorrow and sting
The future shall measure in dregs
1t may bring;
For there is still more in life's
school to be learned,
And often your castles of dreams
will be burned;
Yet out of the ashes shall wisdom
be hurled,
And, son. that is how we progress
in the world.
No matter what happens, my boy.
you must show
The grit to withstand every burden
and blow,
And smile through it all. yes, smile
though you feel
A stab in the heart that you fear
will not heal
The first disappointment is always |
the worst.
The second won't pain quite as
much as the first;
So, just carry on though the going
is bad,
