THE CORN-GROWING CONTEST. service is both young men of the two eastern coun- ties of the state enter and make a wuccess of The Bulletin's Corn-Grow- ing Contest. The entries so far have come in slowly. They must all be in the next six weeks injorder to assure the un- dertaking. The contest means good money for the successful parties, as well as valuable experience. It is important to test the seed corn. The Des Moines Capital has this to v on the subject: The care test of seed corn that was made last spring, insuring seed of strong germinating qualities, had much to do with the great corn crop unfavorable season. “On an average of one thousand five hundred grains so far tested this year have failed to germi- nate, It is the general report of sim- jlar results in tests all over the state that hag caused the Des Moines Com- mercial club to sound the warning, and to devise a plan for supplying lo- calities with seed testers that will be available for farmers in each com- munity. “If lowa farmers heed the warning in time they will be saved great loss of time and money in replanting and give themselves far greater assurance of a satisfactory crop in the end by getting good seed in the ground at the proper time.” This is a matter of as much import- ance in Connecticut as it is in Iowa.

Tnere is no more reasun in leaving all the innocent pleasures to the children than there is in the church leaving all the most en - Hvening music to the deyil. It is al- ways well to have a good time in an- ticipation, if it is to ve a genuine good tine. Tho good time of a grown-up has come to mean something prone to produce evil results, and that is not a good ume in any sense of the word. Going to church is a good time to those who like to go, not to those who do not. It is the same with picnics and entertainments of every nature. “Whai i man's mea: is another nians " in pleasure as well as in gas- it Any lime is a good time which has no baneful influences. There is a4 goud time 1n a thousand good works, as well as in a thousand games. It is the perversicn of some good which make :hem evil. It is the ecson wh) corrupts every- d which he becomes con- rrupL pe thing wit nected. It is not overwork thut knocks so many people out. but intemperance. Industry with the hands or brain doesn’t upset men of wholesome habits and regular hours. It is the other kiud | of people who have nervous prostra- tion and are incapacitated for work. They pay no attention to fatigue and generally violate the laws of their be- ing. Man fz celebrated for showing little consideratlon for Limself, and it is this kind of men who abuse others under them whether they be human or animals, Humanity is hurrying and worrying too much, and resting and praying too little. Many a young man who is thought by his good mother to have overstudied and wrecked himself, | sat up too late nights, smoked too many stogles and drank too much strong coffee, if nothing stronger. He has violated about every law of nature and has simply reaped the conse- quences. He Is usually aware of this, but ne doesn't confess for he prefers to have his downfall attributed to hard work rather than bad habits. How prone man is to remember the things of small importance and to for- get his promises. It is an open ques- tion whether the larger part of them do not forget their promises to God. It is sald to be a fact by Prof. Munhall, who tells the story, that a minister kept a record of over 1,000 death- bed repentences in which the patients recovered and that only 23 of the whole lot lived in a manner to indi- cate the sincerity of their repentence. There are twoffprofessions which have taken the meeSure of men and keep it in secret archives—the clergy and the phvsiciars. These last have a record that 80 per cent. of the men are im- moral. The world's secrel vices are its dammation, for they are at the hot- tem of its hypocrisy. Too many of us prefess 1y he something we are not, and cle without overcoming the habit. Keally men appear to be fend of fool- ing themselves and seem to entertain the thought that they may feol the Aln.ighty. We talk about the pitfalls of life; but what are they? According to the dic- tionary a pitfall is a trap. So far as our boys and girls are concerned traps may not be wilfully set for them, but they may be wofully effective. Good families do fearful work through de- preved tastes, and an evil example. The “tutfruity” on a clergyman’s table has been known to give a boy his first cxperience in intoxication; and the wined sauces and brandied mince pies in respectable families create a taste for liquor, as do the deftly aico- holized creams and candies and co- cained and caffeined soft drinks. The enemy is not lurking in open saloons and brothels alone—he is most dan- gerous where he is lurking among lzrr‘:‘» e the pitfalls, for youth of both is ‘ofter where least expected. It is not strange that mothers are puzzled to bring up their children so that they may be sure-footed and level- headed In the walks of life. Nothing lure, and honor can save them. It is a world where temptation is met at every turn. Procrastination may be a thief of time, but when it comes to tempta- tions and worriments he plays a most mportant part. Delays in the direc- tion of anything that is injurious is a real help to resistance. If it is never too late to mend, it must be a semi- late to fall. If we should determine to put off our wor- ries until tomorrow and should finally die on our deliberation we should be eby. John Wesley used to e no more to fret than to curse and swear;” and Helen Hunt pointed out that the only thing which could disturb the peace and comfort of a home more than fretfulness was drunkenne and while fretfulness is called a foible it deserved to be classed as a vice. I am inclined to agree with Helen, for it is a silly and vicious em- plovment of time and the way to estab- lish permanent discord. We are asionally 1o admonished by an editor know our town.

The record of the town is as lit- tle regarded by the average man as the Bible, and the reason the few rule the many is because of the indolence and ignorance of most of its citizens. Don’t you think we blame more than we pity the human derelict, who fig- ures in the eyves of the community as a bum? There must be a great dif- ference in bums, as well as every- thing else. Drink and crime are not all that lead to despair and shiftless- ness.

How beautiful our city has looked with its show of flags during the past few weeks. Every one must have ad- mired the display, and felt a thriil of enthusiasm at the sight of our national colors floating from roof or portico or window. Every loyal heart responds to the feeling of patriotiem thus ex- pressed, whatever may bo the occasion which draws it forth. And the flag is teautiful in itself. ""he same colors apprar in the banners of other nations, but no other has so fine a ccmbination and arrangement as ours. It speaks to us in forceful lan- guage of our pasi history and our fu- ture expectation: It promises us pro- tection for our persons and our prop- erty, wherever we may be, and de- mands in return our respect, our ven- eration, our love. For it we should be 1eady at all times to sacrifice our seif- interest, and to defend it with cur lives, if need be. But you say the display of one day w8 brought about by & commerciai triumph. That is true, but is not civic pride one kind of patriotism, and a very commendable kind it is, too. The man who speaks well and works well for his own city is showing apd cult- vating the sime spirit which animated our forefathers when they demanded frem England the right to develop the resources of this country to the benefit of thamsolves and their Jescendants, and refused to bulld up the revenues of England at the expense of the colonies. The “boomers” in the recent effort for our city’s prosperity showed them- selves to be true patriots. He who speaks ~nly bad words for his own town, and crushes down all attempts for progress, who opposes all advagce in mercantile or other lines, puts him- self among the cless of people who Aid the same thing in Revolutionary times. We call them tories, though they styled themselves “faithful sub- jects of good King George.” A man who works against his own town comes very near belng a :raitor, no Jess than he who betrays his country’s flag. For Lincoln and Washington we make a brave show of the flag which they delighted to honor. For it they gave freely of their time, their strength, their talents and their lives, no less than if they had fallen on the battlefield, and In life and death they left us a wmodel of true patriotism, which we do_ well to imitate in our lives and conduet. We shall probably never be called upon to meet great emergen~ies such as came fo them, but he who does a little good all the time may accomplish much in a lifetime. ‘We have all heard of the little fellow who wanted to help launch'a boat. When told he was not strong enough to do any good, he said: “But. father, I can push a povnd,” and that pound helped. The children of the present day are taught to revere the flag of our coun- try. They see it constantly in their schoolrooms and much more frequently than was the cage a generation previ- ous. This is as It should be. With an ever Increasing immigration, an inter- est must be aroused in patriotic dis- play if we wish to hold for good future citizens the little ones of today. Tdu- cation which does not develop char- acter is worth little, and strong, well- ~ HONOR THE FLAG R poised character is worth more than all the knowledge learned from books al lone. Citizens thus taught to think for themselves, and to work unselfish- 1{ for the greatest good of the greatest number are not likely to be found among the “strikers” in labor disputes, or among those who are blindly following blind leaders to their own detriment, I have always enjoyed the spirit shown by a little fellow in one of our city kindergartens. A visitor inquired of the teacher if foreigners were ad- mitted, and she replied: “Oh, yes, this child is German, that one is French, here is a Polish chifd, and there is an Italian, while this little fellow,” laying her hand on the boy's shoulder, “is Syrian.” Quick as a flash came the answer: “T am not a foreigner. I am an American. 1 was born in this coun- try, and that is my flag.” There was the foundation of good citizenship in later years. This reminds me of a story which I heard not long ago of a little Italian boy. Tony had been included in some school parade when every child had been presented with a small, inexpen- sive American flag. The boy was not more than 10 years old, but even then had learned to help at home up to his ability. He could turn the péanut roaster in his father's fruit store, and do many other small services, but the peanut roaster seemed the greatest of all to him, so he took his flag home and attached it to the roaster, where he could see it while he worked. To ev- ery one of nis patrons he boasted of the flag. “Isn’t that flag pretty?” he -would asz. “I like those olors.” Ons day an Italian woman told Tony he should have the Italian flag Instead, as it was his own flag. “But this one is my own fiag. Iam an American,” he claimed. “How can I be an Italian? I was born here.” On occasion he would fight for his dearly loved treasure when some boy in sport tried to snatch it from him. “Fighting for the flag, ars you?” re- marked a passerby who witnessed one such encounter. “You are pretty young to be a defender of the flag.” Lifting his big, brown eves, Tony answeced: “I love that flag, and when T'm a man I'm going to be a soldier to march with it.” Then he spread out the tiny flag he had rescued on his small knee and pat- ted it lovingly, and counted the stripes, as he had done many times before. “It's nice to get a new star for every new state. The teacher toid me about that. By the time I'm a man I expect there will be a hundred of them.” Tony wondered why his listener laughed as he turned away, but he never will know that he had uncon- sciously given a lesson in patriotism. If he keeps the promise of his youth, there is in training at least one candi- date for sound, loyal citizanship. No doubt there are many more of his kind to be found among the little ones of our schools. The training there should help them to be helptul to themselves, to their community and to their country. Older peopie may well take pattern from such, for a little child shall lead them. AN 9DLER. gain. What is our duty, anyway? ‘Well, Carlisle sald: “Men do less than they ough: unless they do all that they can.” If that is not definite it cer- tainly is rather suggestive. Some wise man perceived that the way to learn cur duty is by doing it. This is where one good thing is sure to follow another if the philosophers are right. Do the truth you know and you will find the truth you need to know, we are told; and this is a chart for the way; and there appears to be no pos- sible chance for a mistake. Every fat man or woman pretends they would give any price to be lean but they would. They only think they would. What is the price of getting lean? Less food and more exercise. If it could be done with money, it would be casier, The people who ere told they must cut down their fare one-half and walk flve miles a day decide the price is too dear, and as a result 'nay not live out half their days. A straight fast of a week or two is herolc treatment; but it does the work, redqucing the faster at the rate of from ¢ to 2 1-2 pounds a day, or 12 or 14 pounds a week. But peo- ple who love to eat think they would prefer to die rather than fast a week; while those who have fasted a week would :ather do it than have the neu- ralgia fcr an hour. This is the dif- ference in the view of feats—in human preferences. Anybody who will pay nature's price may become lean. SUNDAY MORNING TALK POWDER MILL PIETY.

The common danger had aroused those religious instinets that had slum- bered in times of smug content and assured safety, however, that the prayer meetings were so well attended after help had arrivea and the voyage had been re- sumed. An acquaintance of mine who crossed the Atlentic some years since related how one densely foggy day a fishing schooner loomed out of the mist di- rectly in the liner's path. Although both nelmsmen acted promptly it was the narrowest possible escape from a The crew of the fisherman spranz 1nto the rigging, their faces livid, iheir lips moving as if they ut- tered prayers.

Men have come to me in apparently genuine pertur- bation of spirit, anxious for what I could do for them, who have been suf- ficiently unconcerned either about me or religion itself after life had resumed its even tenor. % Now piety of this spasmodic kind is not piety at all. It is only moral cowardice. Religion is not a sort of safety appliance to be used only when the pumps will no longer keep the vessel afloat or when the air brakes refuse to work. God is not a court of last resort to be consulted only after we have taken our case to every other tribunal.

LETTERS T0' THE EDITOR Mr. Editor: For some time I have been trying to find out from the social- ists what would be the first bill they would introduce to relieve the situa- tion, provided they were in congress and had the opportunity. From this 1 could get omly one reply: “I would have the government take possession of these public utilities.” I have an answer to my question in the form of a bill introduced by Con- gressman Berger, the one socialist in congress. Before evamining this rem- edy let us first, find out- the disease that is to be treated. As I under- stand it the socialist complaint is that the lahoring class of people do not get what they produce. There are lots not socialists that agree with that. In fact, government statistics tell us that labor gets only about one-fifth of what it produces. That is the producer gets only 40 cents of what the con- sumer pays a dollar for. Even the farmer class, according to the secre- tary of agriculture, gets only from 35 to 50 cents which costs the consumer a dollar. According to reason and com- mon sense, this difference between what the consumer pays and what the produzer receives must be the disease to which a remady must be applied. To apply a scientific, effectlve remedy it must be known just how this opera- tion-is performed. It must be known just who gets this 50 to 65 cents. According to Mr. Berger's bill it is the trusts. If it be true that the trusts are gathering in this difference, it will make no difference to them how they get it, as long as they get it, and it can certainly be no relief to labor, so | long as it is compelled to give this up | to the trusts, no matter in what form it is done. Mr. Bevger's remedy, ac- cording to his bill, is for the govern- ment to buy the trusts and pay for them with government honds to-run for 50 years, paying Interest on the bonds to the original trust magnates. Somewhere 1 have read that “labor pays it all,” and of course labor must pay this interest. Before the govern- ment buys the trusts, the trusts take it direct from labor. After the government buys the trusts the government acts as agent for the trusts and taxes labor to pay the in- terest to the trusts. As an example of the benefit to be received by govern- ment ownership to labor I will cite the case of Manitoba in owning the tele- phone. nitoba gave $3,200,000 bonds to run for 40 years at 4per cent. It pays $128,000 interest per year. In 40 years it will have paid $5,120,000 in interest, This will be $1,920,000 more of interest than the original principal. 1 see no reason why this same prin- ciple will not work the same in the United States as in Manitoba. Now I want to ask Mr. Berger, or any other soclalist, how is the government to take up its bonds at the end of 50 years? Will the government create the money then and pay them? If so, wty not create it now and pay cash for the trusts instead of in bonds? Or is the government to refund the bonds for another 50 years? If the latter, how much relief will this be to labor? One other question: Has congress the right to create a legal tender money? If it has, what right has con- gress to create a debt (bond)? If it has no right to crcate the money, who has &he right to create it 50 years from now J. C. VALLETTE.
