"Worth More
Than it Costs"
Lots of farmers declare their telephone service
is worth more than it costs. J. W. Harris, a well
known farmer living near . Choccolocco, Ala.,
writes :
"I had occasion to call our doctor not two
hours after my telephone was connected with
your exchange. My mother, who is very old.
fell down the door steps and broke her arm, and
I called the doctor. He was at my house before
I could have gone to his residence, as he has ao
automobile.
"We would not be without our telephone for
more than it costs and appreciate the assistance
you rendered us."
Our free booklet tells how you may have tele
f>honc service on your farm at small cost. Write

POLLUTED WATER.
Two 8imple Tests by Which Its Im
purity Bsy Be Notsd.
Every one knows and admits the ne
cessity for pure water. When you are
away from home and are not sure of
the character of the water supply It
would not be a had idea to make a few
simple tests. The results may prove
that It was decidedly worth while to
take the trouble, says the New York
Sun. Here are two tests that you can
make very easily:
Fill a tumbler with water, drop In a
lump of white sugar, cover It with a
saucer and let it stand overnight on
the bricks at the side of the range, on
the kitchen mantelpiece or. in fact,
anywhere where the temperature will
not sink below 00 degrees. If next
morning the contents are clear the wa
ter is pure. If, on the other hand, the
liquid is cloudy some source of con
tamination in indisputably proved.
The second test is to drop a few
grains of permanganate of potash into
a tumbler of water, cover and let it
stand for an hour. If the wat^r is
still of the bright rosy color to which
the chemical turned it. it is perfectly
safe for drinking. If it is of a brown
ish color It is impure, although the im
purity may be of, the kind that boiling
will rob of its power to harm.
You Are Cause and Effect.
You are the effect of a cause.
You are yourself that cause.
You are an acme of things accom
plished and an encloser of things to be
What you were yesterday, plus your
efforts, is the cause of what you are to
day. And it depends upon yourself
whether you will treat your present
self as a mere effect, resting in thai
consciousness, or as a cause to be
worked for and with,, to the end that
your future self be greater and more
powerful for good than It is now or has
ever been in the past.
It is up to the man. And no amount

of the girls was twenty minutes late.

CARDS FOR EASTER.
They Vie W'th Christmas Messages In
Popularity Nowadays.
The pretty eustoiu of sending appro
priate cards at lCaster time grows in
favor with every year, and the makers
of these d.ijnty. trifles are beginning to
tind ulmosr-as many- calls upon their I
Ingenuity and their skill to meet the
Easter as to supply the Yuletlde de
mand. They no longer hold exclusive
ly to the religious character of the
spring festival, as they did for a long i
time, or to the pictured celebrations of j
the legends dear to chlldislK hearts.
While supplying plenty of cards deal- ij
ing with these themes, thc.v now reach J
out for motives that deal solely with '
the sign* of awakening spring and
with the thoughts and emotions that
these arouse even anions those who do
not respond to the religious Interpre
tation of t he day.
Among this year's cards there are I
many quite elaborate and varied pres !
entations of the rabbit and the egg mo- j
tives. There are cut out bunnies of \
ingenious construction and varied em-'
ployment. dainty maids rising out of j
flowers c?r eggs and flower cards and
booklets in artistic coloring and with
appropriate inscriptions in the greatest
variety.
A humorous note has been essayed
by some daring designers, and there
are Uttlp girls in old fashioned attire
leading choirs of rabbits, downy chick
ens devoting themselves to music,
chubby babies struggling with band
boxes, while grotesque rabbits look on
in wonder. The postcards include ev
ery variety of motive? humorous, floral,
animal and religious.
At Easter Time.
The little (lowers came up through the i
ground
At Easter time, at Easter timo.
They raided their heads and looked around
At happy Master time.
And every pretty bud did say,
"Good people, bless this holy day.
For Christ Is risen, the angels say,
At happy Easter time."

THE MEANING OF
THE RESURRECTION.
By CARDINAL GIBBONS.
The resurrection of Christ is
the most signal and splendid
evidence of his divinity. It is
the keystone in the arch of faith,
as it is the most brilliant lumi
nary in the constellation of
Christian festivals.
A certain religious enthusiast
named Leberaux once submitted
to Talleyrand a project he en
tertained of founding a new re
ligion and asked the Frenoh
statesman's views as to the
feasibility of the undertaking.
"You will certainly succeed," re
plied Talleyrand, "and your
name will go down with glory to
posterity if you fulfill the con
ditions which I propose." "And
what are they?" eagerly in
quired the visitor. "You must
first suffer, be scourged and oru
cified and then rise on the third
day. Do this and your succsss
is assured." This reply extin
guished the zeal of the would be
reformer. The moral of the
witty Frenchman's remark is
that as Christ alone, after en
tering the portals of the tomb,
returned by his own power to
life he is without a rival. He
alone has made good his claim
to found a new religion and to
merit the supreme adoration of
mankind.
