Thursday, April 3, 1913.] THE CAROLINA UNION FARMER Page Five BB TAL,K HAPPINESS. Talk happiness. The world Is sad enough Without your woe. No path Is wholly rough; Look for the places that are smooth apd And speak of them to rest the weary ear Of earth, so hurt by one continuous strain Of mortal discontent and grief and pain. Talk faith. The world Is better off with- out Tour uttered ignorance and morbid doubt Tf you have faith in God, or man, or self. Say so; if not, push back upon the shelf Of silence all your thoughts till faith shall come. No one will grieve because your lips are dumb. Talk health. The dreary, never-ending tale Of mortal maladies is worn and stale. You can not charm or interest or please By harping on that minor chord, disease. Say you are well, or all is well with you. And God shall hear your words and maae them true. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. THE WOMEN’S DEPARTMENT. We met a brave woman the other day; she judged household products at a farmers’ institute, and told the ladies their exhibits were not up to standard. Now, it often happens that exhibits at farmers’ institutes are not up to standard, but the practice usually adopted is to praise any kind of an exhibit, lest telling the truth about it will prevent further exhibits. Farmers’ wives are better cooks as a rule than women who live in town, but there are fewer of them, and classes should be limited, since large classes can not be expected in many different varieties of cakes, breads, etc. It appears to us it would be a , good plan for the ladies to decide on two kinds of cake, possibly also a plate of fancy cakes and bread, and have the premiums offered on these classes only at next year’s institute. Offer a large enough premium to bring out an exhibit that is worth while, and have each exhibit scored. If the exhibit winning first premium scores low, let the score card tell the tale by being placed with the pre mium tag, so that every one can com pare the scores of the prize winners, and the exhibit be of some educa tional value to them. There can be no enthusiasm without interest, and there can be no interest in seeing a display of one each of three or four kinds of cake, each cake bearing a prize tage for lack of competition. If an institute offered premiums that brought out from fifteen to twenty cakes of one kind, the friendly riva ry of the neighborhood would boost the institute and cake baking. When a girl goes to college and bakes a cake or a loaf of bread, her work is not scanned for the goo that can be found in it, but for e faults. Hence college women learn to take criticism as it is intended— an incentive to better work. e farmers’ institute is the coxintry wo man’s college, and if she is to ge full benefit from it, her exhibit must be judged on its merits. It is claim ed that with the advent of the score card for bread in the State Univer sity of Illinois, and its adoption by county institutes, the quality of the bread baked all over the State has been improved. Let us have our ex hibits judged by score card and raise the standard—Wallace’s Farmer. way over the thorn and rugged paths until by her earnest perseverance she will find those same burdens dissolv ing into mist and trailing behind in the distance, while the way before her will really become beautiful, be cause her feet are shod with pati ence, and this patience becomes sweetest peace. In my estimation, the model girl is always neat, but never conspicu ous. Her manners are very gentle and her voice low. Girls, cultivate a low voice. She is very respectful to her elders, and considerate of the happiness of every one else before herself. She never speaks ill of any one, and is very sympathetic with those in trouble. She knows how to “Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep,” but she is ever ready to dry the falling tear and by some brightly cheerful word to dispel douht and gloom from a burdened heart. If she happens to have a pretty face and nice clothes, she is not vain of the fact, but rather more humble. If she is not pretty, she can make herself so in the hearts of her friends by her sweet disposi tion and pleasant manners. If she is poor, she does not bemoan the fact. She does not tell her sorrows, but bu ries them deep in her heart and hides them with a smiling face. She does not shirk her duty, no matter how hard it may be. She acknowledges her faults and tries to make amends for them. She does cheerfully the duties of to-day aud trusts in to-morrow, be cause she realizes that if she does her little well, greater things will be given her. The girl who does these things is happy, whether she be poor or rich, educated or uneducated, and whether she lives in a mansion or a cottage, a city or the country. The latter, I think, is the one ideal place.—Hazel Blanche Beam, in Southern Ruralist, Cherryville, N. C. well-built chairs and tables of plain their business as the business man design.

CHEAP FURNISHINGS. Much bad taste is displayed in cheap furniture, which lasts but a few years and must be replaced. It is economy, if nothing more, to buy but few women use it. A high chair or stool is useful when working at sink or table. Saving energy is not laziness; it is extravagant to use'up strength unnecessarily. There is a great deal of wasted time and energy through false economy in the lack of | proper utensils to work with. A few dollars spent in labor-saving devices is money well spent. No manufac turer considers it extravagant to pur chase machinery to save time or la bor. 2. That in the death of Brother Mitchell our Union has lost a faithful member. 3.
