Maybe you don’t beffeve t try it on yourself, You think you do good things, naking a daily habit of it. That's different. How who really don't like the ta of whiskey slide of drink! What pains you took, what misery to acquire the tobacco habit! We are ail reatures of habit. We take the car at the same minute, noon and night Our meals are nearly at the same minute three times a day. We take off the left or right shoe first every ht. We use our right hand for this, or our left hand for that, every time. Some of us have regular days for washing our hair, or darning the family stockings, and if you'll study your daily actions you'll find that you run yourself pretty ch by routine, so that habit figures very largely in a man’s or a woman's life We have in mind an old maid who, for years, it a habit to do some helpful turn. for somebody every arly as a matter of habit. Some days it is a big thing helping some poor devil to get a job. Some days she sends a few flowers to somebody who is sick in a hospital. Again it is only a postal card to an acquaintance who has a birthday anniversary, Often it is only the buying of a news- paper doesn’t want from a newsboy who looks as if he needed many and quick sales, Still oftéener, perhaps, it is only a kind ward to somebody who seems to be wholly with out sympathy But whatever the helpfulness may be, big or little, this old maid never puts her head on her pillow at night without knowing that she has helped someone, much or little it a beautiful habit? And how much more beautiful the whole world would be if everybody had this habit! Oh, yes! we know you help a person, here and there, if it comes in your way do so, and that’s all right, but the habit of doing so is different It is different to rise in the morning and say, “I will this day put into someone's life a little kindness; a little sympathy, a little help and sunshine,” going to sleep at night with the knowledge that “I have this day helped someone.” you underwent, pretty much w has mac day, art k she rea See Here, Boys and Girls! It is so simple to test seed corn before planting that a child may do it. The council of grain exchanges is conduct- ing a nation-wide campaign in favor of this step towaed scicn- tific farming. They say: “You lose $4 when you plant an car of corn that will not grow “Seed selection will add 10 bushels an acre crop. “School children can make the test that means a $500,000 boost to the corn crop value of a county.” Here's a chance, surely, for the boy or girl too young to vote to perform a service to their country that wil’ ouf- weigh anything the. avcrage politician “does. he young patios should get busy. [New Styles in Eggs | We're going right home and have a serious talk with our hens. We knew there were fresh eggs, storage eggs, fairly fresh eggs and strictly fresh eggs, for we had seen eggs labeled such at the grocer’s. But here comes the Ohio experimental station sharps with styles of eggs that stagger us and make us suspect our poultry. These Ohio scientists declare that 17 cents on every dol- lar’s worth is lost through careless handling of ¢ " an- nounce that the lost eggs are styled “dirtie shrunken,” “bac- terial rots” and “mouldies.” Any hen who'll produce any of these styles has simply gone into politics, and we're bound to find out if our hens have taken to Bill Taft's idea of repre- sentative government by only part of the people A Good Thing On with that proposition to put an agricultural experi- ment expert into every county of the United States!

REV. B. F. MI REV. B. F. MILLER, chaplain of G. A. R. Post No. 1, died in my presence yesterday morning within six minutes after he entered the study of the First Christian church to arrange for an evening service of the veterans on April 14th. WE HAD AGREED to hold a con ference any time between 10 and 12 on Friday morning. Busy at k, I heard a door open and a pleasant voice speaking. “You are & hard man to find,” he said. 1 greeted him cordially HE SEATED HIMSELF in the chair opposite my study table. We had scarcely exchanged three sen- tences when he gasped and relaxed. During the exciting three minutes which followed I looked after his comfort as I could. I OPENED THE WINDOW fac ing the park and summoned sev- eral young men in sight. While we were trying to restore him to con- sciousness and one of us called sev- eral physicians, he quietly passed away IT WAS ALL SO SUDDEN that I can searcely realize that the ex- perience is real. I accompanied the body to the undertaker’s and went immediately to the home of his sor- rowing wife. She had been in- formed.
