Instead of stressing so much the Importance of sowing grfln. We, of course, told him that no newspaper could give any general plan that would suit each Individual case.

We, therefore, 1 prefer to hammer away on the importance to our farmers of sowing more grain this year than ever before and we are glad to know that many of them are now engaged in ' so doing. On the other hand, there are many who prefer to brood over what they call "hard times," and are neglecting to do what they will regret next summer that they have not done, when they will need food for their stock. The man with the right "get up" about him will sow grain and plenty of it this fall. Engaged Girls, Take Note! The World. To be engaged is to look forward. And the future depends for its happiness upon many things as well as affection; or rather affection will see to it that these many things are added to it, and then indeed all Is well. Here are a few useful hints to en gaged girls: Make yourself a good cook, and learn how to keep accounts. Don't grow selfish and neglect all your old duties and ties. Deware of boring people by everlasting talk of your lover. Don't encourage him to spend too much money upon your small luxuries. Smile cheerfully at your brothers' teasing remarks. Never crow over your girl friends who are not yet engaged. Remember that the world contains other people of Interest besides your lover. Mingle a little common sense with ! your romance, and both you and1 your sweetheart will be the happier, j Sugar is delightful as a flavoring, but nauseous as a food. .NOTICE OF ELECTION.
