Too many farmera have treated their hoII a* fhoQgh It were uninteresting and not full of charia and faaclnatlon. In the hook entitled "Lettera of an Old Farmer to Hla Son," we came serosa theae paragraphs: "That'a what I like in the aoll. Though we've been working with It through nnnumhered thousand* of yeara, no man alnco the beginning ha* ever found the llinlta tlona of a single square rod. In the very nature of things, no man win ever dlacover the utinont end of the soil's |M>wer when to Its own fertility he adda a fertile mind." Yea. It la the trained mind that comprehends the charm and wonder* of the land; It la the fertile brain that looks forward to the posslhillttea of the aoll and can see Ita powera atrengthen as the com prehension of man broadens. We quote again from this book: "An acre of land la pretty much like the heart of a good friend. It is an everlasting challenge to you to show the beat that'a In you; It's everlaat lugly rich In surprises for you.

"And what disposition made the good Justice of the <wse of Dame Ki-zlah, who was charged with being a common scold?" "lie did adjudge her guilty, and en treated her harshly withal."

The most important discovery of the prevent age Is not the dls<*overy of the telephone, or of wireless teleg raphy, or of the antitoxins of dls ease, but the discovery of the social conscience".

That the kaiser's dream of world empire was slmttensj by the crown prince'* failure at Verdun is the 6pln ion now hehl by military experts. By a crushing blow at the center of the French line the Germans hoped <o opei a way Into Central France jn? t Paris. The failure of this plan (lia liecu known to tin* world fo$> nJany mouths; but the faet tliat this failure definitely ended Germany's age long dream Is not so generally known. The ferocious lunge of the kaiser'H troops at Paris ended on Septemi>er 10, 1PM, with their defeat at the Marne. They had crossed Belgium Into France expressly to avoid contact with the great, French fortresses of Verdun, Toul, Epinal. Versoul and Belfort on the Franco-German border. Baffled in their first drive, and finding them selves faced by a tirfnly intrenched armyv they began a series of move ments to try to turn the flanks of the allied armies. The last of 1014 wit nessed furious attempts by the Ger mans to tnrn the northern end of the battle line in Flamlers ami take Paris from the north. They failed. Finding the lines in the north un breakable. the Germans turned their attention upon the central part. Op posite the fortress of Metz, perhaps the strongest place in the world, lies Verdun, the northermost of the Frwnch fortified towns. On September ?J1 1014, they had broken the French line between Verdun and Toul, and had occupied the town of St. Miliiel. From this base they hoped to surround nnd force the French ont of Venlun This done, they could take all the other fortified places in the rear up lu Jim Swiss border, coutd have ap proached Paris south of the place of their defeat at the Marne. and could have rendered untenable the whole system of trench defenses of the French and British by attacking them in the rear: It would be a costly stroke for General Potain. in com ma nd of Verdun, had built a system of trenches and mobile batteries about Verdun which were believed Impreg nable. On February 2.??, 1918, the Ger mans. led by the crown prince at tacked. After 1U days of preliminary fight ing. during the last of which the fir ing of the cannon was as rapid as the rolling of a snare drum, the Ger mans closed In.
