It is the quin tcssence of what Aristotle calls the probable impossibility. The -best of the fairy tales are folklore, giving the boiled down wisdom of centuries of experience, and the truths they icach are the old, old facts of human nature put into visible form for childish minds to grasp. These tales do not teach morals by precept, but truths by example, says Col lier's. .No amount of teach ing about the brotherhood of man, rind Christmas kindness, and the rewards of virtue, can have such an effect on the small, objective soul as is pro duced by the vision of Santa Clans with his white beard and twinkly eyes coming with toys for good little boys and switches for bad little boys, shedding jollity and benevo lence all over the place. Long years from now, when every incident of these stories is lost to the memory, the knowledge of fundamental human values will remain. 'Peach the chil dren fairy tales and you teach them the wisdom of the ages. Peace to Men of Good Will Ar CL4RLS F. THWING The angels' song, "On Earth Peace, Good Will Toward Men," can also be translated "peace to men of good will." This version is timely, as well as correct for ti e Greek. For peace can and shall come to men of good will, and it cannot come to men of bad will. Who is the man of good will? It is he who has a choice of happiness, of righteousness, of goodness for all men. It is he aho desires that men may be blessed, and who tries to make the desire effective. The man of good will doed not hate. Neither doea he incarnate hate in any weapon offensive or defensive. He is free from revenge, and is full of forgiveness for the penitent, He may not forget injuries, but, what is more important, he is eager to make -Jury the occa Y(EAR 19 [ENTOUS Omnentous in your' his world! modest organization itzer' Ccmpany estab its path was beset by It was a fight for ex ess. merchandise and effi vith all the power and as of the worthiness of of our success is our who have made possi APPY AND PROS [TZER lon for ielping he ofrender -to over come the evil within the heart or will out of which the injury sprung. He is capable of mighty indignations, but he does not suffer himself to be conquered by them. Without being impassive, he Is calm in the face of wrong, and he is very patient, be ing more willing to be the victim than the agent of evil. Ills hatred of all sin and his love for the man who, despite his manhood, is guilty of sin, are alike strong and lasting. He is free from suspicion, he Ihinketh no evil. Ile loves his neighbor, not only as himself, but even more, being more eager to do justice than to receive justice. The equalities and elements which I constitute the man of good will also constitute the commonwealth of good will. Such a commonwealth Is a common woalth peace. Willing good to oth ers, others will good also to it. Arm aments In such condition have no long er any function to play, and they melt away. The battlellags are furled. Wars cease and rumors of wars ire not heard. Men hocome brothers in mutual serviet' tmid happiness, as they are brothers in origin and (lestiny. SILAGE REDUCES BEEF COST Result Given of Steer-Feeding Test Made at Missouri College of Agriculture. A steer-feeding test reC('ently com pleted at the Missouri College of Agri culture illustrates the possibility of re ducing the cost of beef production by the extensive use of corn silage. Six teen head of two-year-old steers fed for 130 (lays made an average gain in live weight of 322 pounds per head. They were fed 3.16 tons of corn silage, 750 pounds of alfalfa hay, and 503 pounds of cotton-seed meal and old process linseed oil meal per steer. They received no corn other than that contained in the silage. By this meth od of feeding a fairly satisfactory grade of beef can be produced, and it Is possible to fatten three steers on an acre of good corn instead of one, which was usual under former meth ods of feeding. SYSTEM OF MUCH NECESSITY Farmer Who Does Not Include Clover in Rotation Plan Is Slowly Going Into Bankruptcy. The grower of staple farm crops, who does not use a systematic rota tion in which clover or some other legume enters, is slowly going into bankruptcy. Land on which clover generally fails, and which produces sorrel and red top instead, will be benefited by the use of lime. . 18 .
