It has often occurred to us that children would pret on so ] much better at school if parents , would only cultivate thft friend- j I ship of the teacher more, and 1 win her confidence. We are < quite sure that if mothers would 1 let the teachers see that they J j have an interest in them and j J the children too, it would stimu-;, late the teachers and their1 j pupils. It stands to reason that j if the teacher knows that the 1 parents are co-operating with i ber, the efforts which she puts I forth are more likely to result 3 j in greater progress being made ^ - by the children. There is no J need whatever to make a great ( friend of the teacher, but it < would certainly help matters a ( great deal if, say, the teachers "] oclru^ tn nnmo anrt P fpfl t TT V*V ((CUV VI VV VViilV V???v. vv>?v j at a definite time or spend a! > certain evening with the chil- < dren and parents. Such little t matters are worth thinking " about and we feel convinced that 1 mothers who try what we have suggested will be pleased with : the results. This was not written at the suggestion of any j teacher, either. s i No man who makes a practice of being dishonest and re- s pudiating his just accounts ever amounts to a hjll of beans. In the commercial world they never 1 get to the quarter pole. The ' successful busine.-s man thinks more of his credit than he does j' of his wife, lor he knows if his!, wifp Ipjivps him Iip stands sonip I. show of getting another, hut if his credit forsakes him he is up agninst it. He can have but one < credit. It seems strange with I all this in mind that young men will start out with healing little bills at the restaurants and ai the store. They will even borrow fiity cents of a liiend and refuse to pay it back. That class of lellows always wear a banner , that can be seen all over town and everybody is onto them, i When it comes to paying your debts, "honesty is the best policy." ' When you go into the postn i I 1 n m i ma f m r\t im I /J r* m ' 4 vinv;c anu iii\{uiic iui mail, uuu t try to fill up the delivery hole i "with the north end of vour body. If you merely stand ofF and fire your request through those whom you address will respond promptly. After you receive your mail, ' * don't stand monopolizing the delivery while you look to see the post mark and guess who the letters are from. Let those behind you have a chance, for life is short and time is fleeting. Please remember this and you will confer a favor on those in the rear. The true thrift of the people of a town may be judged by the dooryards they keep. Beauty i contributes to the happiness of all, and only selfish hearts can see no good in nicely arranged premises. The public spirited > citizen, the truly benevolent soul, the heart of good morals, and the thoroughly religious! mind will never permit thorns j or thistles, brush and briars, and all manner of unsightly things tn m si If linsiohtlv hia siirrnnnrl.

In spite of the fact that the season has been unusually late j ia getting under way present indications are that this year's fertilizer will not only exceed those of last year by a consider* able amount, but will equal the shipments of 1911, which was one of the best years on record in the history of the industry. i xucic arc several reasons assigned for the success of the industry this year, and one of the best indications of it is the fact that while the season was just about as late last year as this year in commencing, the shipments to date are much larger than those received last year for the same period. The railroads have about completed their arrangements for handling this season's movement and are counting on a big business. The President's I.nrkv Thirteen ? / ?? Let the superstitious cultivate number 13 if they want luck. \t least, President-elect Wilson !inds it so, and any combination which by addition, subtraction ir multiplication will produce die lucky number, gives him the greatest delight. "Thirteen," ne says, "have always been running through my life in connecion with some good fortune." Sis name?Wood row Wilson?has iust thirteen letters. It is said ne dropped Thomas, his first lame, in order to get down to ucky thirteen. For thirteen fears he was a professor in Princeton university, and then was elected its thirteenth presiient. He was nominated and dected president of the United States in 1912, which by the adlition of its digit makes 13.
