And propriety to fashion in all things.
Have the courage to wear your old

ones.
Have the courage to discharge
debt while you have the money in
your poeket.
Have the courage to obey your con.
eieaoj at the risk of being ridiculed
by men.
Have the courage to own you are
poor, and thus disarm poverty of its
sharpest sting.
Have tbe courage to wear thick
boots in winter, aud insist upon your
wife and daughter doiug the same.
Hare the courage to do without
that which you do not ueed, however
much your eyes may cuvjt it.
Have tbe courage to speak ta a
friend in a '-ae<:<iy" • Rit, even though

Mid richlf attired.
Hare the courage to speak your

da so, and to hold your lougut when
it is prudent you should do no.
Ur.'-i tiit oouragu to show your re
au'ect for honeety, ir. wLatever guise
it appears; and youi coutcinpt for
dishonesty and duplicity, by whomw

Have tbe courage to '■cut" the most
agreeable acquaintance yon have

tt'ueu the legislature fixed the
r*te of tbe legal interest at 12 per
cent they did not mean that every
pereon should pay 12 per cent for
borrowed money hut rather that in
no ease should be uoapellbd to pay-
more. 8o it is foolish to think a legis-
lature meant tbat a county should pay
75 cents per square for ita legal prin-
ting if they could get it done for less
What taey did mean to convey was
tbat in no case shall s connty be
charged more thon 75 cents per square
The law does not provide that tbe
proceedings should be published in
two papers.

Behold a man of Shipfess Town;
His name is Obadtah Brown.
He says the town dies net improve,
But runs along its ancient groove.
He'd like to see it spremi and grow,
And yet he does not hfcfo, you know.
Instead of buying things for sale
Right here In town, he's sent by ma;
For many years and bought his things
From those fareff Mail Order kings.
No wonder, Obadiah Brown,
This home of yours is Shopiess Town!

I "We went down last week to see
how little ''Johnnie'1 was getting
jouinthe Bryne Business College.
We found the school in full swing,
with the superintendent in charge,
ready to show us over the school unc
explain how the work in done.
They do things t our State Uni-
versity up in fine shap - but those
proteaueiu ut the business college
"have got that tbinge''. Accordiug
to the estimation ol our resent selves
ii we bad attended such a school an
this, Mr. Roosevelt would be quite
a lad compared to lis. The little
"Johnnie" came out home last
Sunday, anil as soon as he landed
be began spoutiug ehortbuud
in every direction. Thinks we to
ourselves: "We'll lix you my boy"
so ve bad him to write a business let-
ter as we dictated it, knowing he
couldn't romumber its contentsi
and to <>ur delight and astouisbment
mat begger read those bug tracks
better than we can read tliese letters
after they get cold. Now, boys, you
who are not in attendance, get the
old man to let you go as soon as you
get the cotton out. We know sever-
al boys who will enter on Jaiiuar)
1st 1908- This is the best opper-
tunity for a business training ever
offered the young people of this
section and every boy and girl who
can do so should attend. It takes
four or five years to go through our
•'cludo colleges and become profi-
cient In baseball, football, and to-
ting a war gun, but joucao, in three
or four mouths, learn ut this school
something that will fit you for a
business career tbat you will be
proud of some dny1'. A Pleased

tvresting facts illustrative of their

The winter residences of the Esqui-

with thin sheets of ice for windows.
Thus the glazier in that country ent-

Esquimaux children hung up tbeir

Their Christmas dinner ia a rare

flaeon ol seal's blood. Tallow can-

An experienced dairyman makes
practice of larding the teats of tUo
ketfer cows the 8rst few times they
•re milked. A short time before they
are tullXed he appl!ed the lard to the
tests. After the milking operation he
wipes tbe teats carefully with a dry
•oft cloth and then applies another
eoattng of lard, which is showed to
remain undisturbed. Iu this way sore
teats are avoided and after Ave
six mllklngs the teats have become
seasoned to tbe new experience.
Tbe most effective windbreak Is ob-
tained by planting trees of a short
species In the outside row towards the
prevailing wind, another row of
taller specie* next, and a third row of
telleft trees on the inside adjacent to
tbe balldlng* or area to be protected. >
Tbls arrangement causes the wind to
strike the trees as It would strike the
face of a steep hill, deflecting Its i
course upward. H the tallest treee of
the third row consist of a flexible
species, such as cottonwood, Euro-
pean larch, white willow or honey lo- ;
cost th«y will bend before the wind, '
and act as a cushion to deflect It tu>
ward and ever tbe object to be pro
toe led.
Prof. R. S. Shaw, ( Michigan Agrl*
cultural college, says that this coun-
try possesses about 34 per cent or a
little more, of all tbe cattle of the
world, 5l per cent, of the swine, 14
per cent of the sheep. Of enr posi-
tion hi tbe wor'd's production, Judged
from the standpoint of quality, he
doee not speak so highly. Illinois he
credits with bavlr.y r,bown more unity
of purpose arae-if live stock breeders
than other suites "The question of
quality." he says, " Is dependent upon
thct of unity. Where breeds are mix-
ed we fiAd an uwful condition of af-
fairs as to quality. If some gnidtng
hand would draw a clean-cut distinc-
tion between the dairy and men', bitst-
necfi—if we could Just colonize these
two Industries and prevent theft from
mixing, It would be a blessing so far
as iho icneial quality of onr live
•took Is concerned."
