Save Winter Oats For Seed. Washington, I?. C.t .Mint' IS.?Farm ers in the South who have winter oats of ;;?.<?? 1 guallty are urged to save them for seed rather than to feed them. This nop winterkilled very generally over the South last winter, and social ists of tho I'nlted States Department of Agriculture say the Indications are that the vimmI supply will be very short. Many counties In the South eastern State- will have to purchase all their se?*d from other localities, and those favored sections where a J partial or full crop was produced j should save every a Mailable bushel ' to meet this demand. Fanners are urged to feed corn or other grain to I work st<K'k or to purchase northern i grown spring oats for feeding in order . to save the winter oats for sowing. Itei*ause of the scarcity of winter i oats of good ipiallty those who have ' them are ipiite sure to prolr by sav i ing them for seed rather than feeding them.

Hill Collecting. Mr. Husiness Man. did you ever an nut. to collect bills that, were due von? (?f course you have, and if you have nut, you should try it: the ex perience will be worth a lot to you. flave you ever noticed that man ner In which you were treated in rne different business places? Have you not noticed haw many people; were so extremely busy that they did not have time to look at you? And have you ever in all your life gone to a business house to pay a hill and found them too busy to take your moneyV It's no use to ask a foolish question like this, for such a thing has never hapi>ened Have you not also gone to i?cople whom yon previous ly had ureal respect for. and found them positively insulting when asked to pay what Is yours These people were delightfully agreeable when they made the account, and you are at a loss to account for their complete change in their treatment of you on the two occasions. And. have you not also gone to other |H*ople who were Just as nice to you as they are when you go t>? pay an account, and come away hav ing a much better feeling for that house, and cause you tx> remember it when you go to purchase anything In their line next time? Mr. Business Man, look into your establishment ami s?>c under which class your concern Is in. Sometimes it is not convenient to pay a bill when presented. Wouldn't It lie much bet ter to tell the collector so. and tell him why. and to tell him when you will pay It. and then keep your word. When a business house or an (divid ual extend your credit you are under obligations to him. and the collector is en111hsI to courteous treatment when lie comes for his money.

Preachers. A preacher is a man who talks toj a congregation for two hours each Sun day and spends the week days heart-j enlng up his flock for the next install ment. Preachers are supposed to Ik? ex ceedingly holy men who set a pattern of righteousness for the world to fol low. There is a very general belief | thai if our preachers aiv good enough it doesn't make much difference what the rest of us do. It is really amass-j ing to xee how interested the world j is in the goodness of a minister and ? how nobly it stands back and refrains from comiK'ting with him in this field.] Thousands of men who are jierfectlyj satisfied with escaping tlie gallows' themselves will worry for hours at a time over the imi>ei*feetioiis of the] preachers ami will even refuse a j drink while absorbed in making | suggestions for their improvement. In: fact our ambition for the goodness of , preachers is lK>undless. If only we j can have |>erfect preachers, we will > creefully wallow in wrong-doing our-j selves. 9The world records no more startling unselfishness. Preachers go to divinity school while quite young and there learn all about the world and mankind up to 1,1M)0 years ago. Armed with this knowledge, they are given a congrega tion which knows all about the world from yesterday to tomorrow. The re sult Is usually a draw in 1.111 rounds. The duties of the average preacher are to preach twice a week, to attend half a dozen miscellaneous meetings, to drum tip attendance, to visit all his parishioners an equal number of times during the year, to kiss fifty brides of various ages per annum, to illuminate sick rooms, to beat the undertaker to the house of death and run a tie race with him at each funeral, to support a wife and a black frock coat, to say nothing of several children, and to give lil>erally to all foreign and domestic missions and to do till this on Faith, Hoik> and Charity, along with as much of a salary of $(MX) a year as he can collect himself. A great many thous ands of ministers are doing all this successfully. TIh? preacher is, in fact, almost the only man who fk not jmrtly res|K>nslble for the high cost of liv ing. A great many very smart young men who are making $3,000 a year and are sitting up late at night in order to spend it all on themselves are inclined to make fun of the i>oor and peaceful preacher who never goes to prize fights and luji'se race* and who leads such an ingloriously unexciting life.?Ry Geofge Fit eh.
