S' % HELPS CHANGE WROUGHT BY GARDEN Experiment by Mine Official Damon-' vtrataa How Much Qood There Is In Beautiful Surroundings. i Grace Tabor, one of the department editors of the House and Garden, saya that there la an Intimate connection between a man and hla garden.. She I was describing the early gardens of ; this country, those of the Spanish set i tiers In Florida, the Puritans in New England, the Dutch in New Amster -1 dam and the cavaliers and Quakers ito Maryland and Pennsylvania. But no matter what the nationality or the I style Involved, a true garden reflects the character of Its maker. She spoke ! truly, as any visitor to the formal | terraces of Mount Vernon or to the democratic ledgea of Montlcello will { agree. But If a garden reflects Its L maker's temperament. It Is no less i true that often a garden Influences it In one of the American trade pub lications there recently appeared a story told by the general manager of a coal mining corporation «t Weyan oke. W. .ya.—a settlement In the dis trict sorely afflicted with Industrial conflicts. He saw that the average man worked short hours and rarely put In full time every month. This idleness was not voluntary, but cams about In the regular course of fhe work. Idleness added to the discon tent, so he hit on the Idea of lntro- Aiclng Into the mountain region the small garden system so profitably { practiced by the laborers of England. He tried to Induce Uls men to utilize ' their spare time In cultivating gar dens, and offered prizes for various > kinds of vegetables and flower plots. At first the miners viewed the pro i posal with suspicion. One or two won the prizes. The next year the change waa remarkable. Out of 225 men em ployed at the camp all the heads of ' families had started gardens. And splendid specimens they were, full of luscious small fruits and crisp, fresh vegetables. The women brightened their lives by sowing flower seeds. No matter how garish the color —It was color, and color brightened their hard lives.—lndianapolis News. MUST LOOK TO THE FUTURE New Law In Maasaohusetts Makes ths Proper Plsnnlng of All Towns Compulsory. The last legislature of Massachu setts, by two brief ac*sa made city planning compulsory for every town of more than 10,000 population and for every city. A large measure of home rule Is provided by the law, since the local governing bodies —city councils, commissions or town meetings—will determine the number of members in each board, the rate of payment for services and expenses and other ad | mlnietratlve details. State-wide unity I will be given to the work by the su | pervlslon of the Massachusetts home stead commission. Under the law the firat task given the local boards is to make a compre hensive study of the resources, possi bilities and needs of the community. This provision, means that In the | course of a comparatively brief time i each city and town affected by the law i will make an adequate social survey. City planning under the Massachu -1 setts law is a very human thing. First emphasis Is laid upon the ordering of the municipal activities, both public arid private, so that the health and welfare of the Individual will be con served. All city planning, of course, has this human end for Its ultimate aim. The Massachusetts law makes this human end not only ultimate but immediate. _________ . Hanging Garden In Minneapolis. The work of the committee on hang ing gardens of the Mlnenapolls Civic and Commerce association has been to evidence throughout the summer. | As a result of thg,.Activity of this com ■ mlttee more than 1,500 feet of window boxes were Installed by downtown business houses, and 106 of ths orna mental lamp posse were decorated with vinee and flowers, says Town De velopment The association attended to the wa tering of the lamp-post boxss, and ths renewal of faded and dead plants. Frequent comment upon this custom has come from summer visitors, and a large number of Inqulrlea have bees received from cities throughout ths country with a vlsw to pis adoption of a similar plan In thoae cities. And, by ths way. by ths end of ths prss ent year Minneapolis will hava bad 120 conventions. Beautifying of Cities. ' Ws hava built our cities and to .them we muat live. A country popu lation we have, turned and are still turning Into a city population. Our soil tillers we have Industrialised, tak ing them from surroundings where health and prosperity were largely a matter of Individual gumption Into surroundings where the assumption may be warranted perhape, but where It certainly doee not work. The dt lea are the battle ground of modern civilization. We must learn the strat egy of this new social warfare of peace.

GRAHAM, N..0., THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, L 914. ' BABY LANGUAGE MADE STUDY Dsclsrstlon by Expert Will Make Him Unpopular With ths Fond Mother. Baby language Is the latest study. The child first uses Its voice, says an expert, to express hunger, temper ahd feelings of pleasure. Noises alone suffice for such expression. Then the baby utilises Its voice as a plaything, and afterward as a recognized mode of expression. Trilling of Hps takes placs only at teething time. Gradually there is less i variety of sounds, as the child learns definite associations with definite sounds. Some little people can hum tunes perfectly, yet are too young Xq pronounce the accompanying words. - On the other hand, they are often credited with words they never say. "Mum" Is an Instinctive sound, not an Intentional call. Doubtless fond moth ers will protest, but a wise professor laid It down that the child of any na tionality when in need cries "Mum." The mother comes. After a time the infant associates "Mum" with the ar rival of mother and the cessation of distress.- Then It expresses the word intelligently, but not before this as sociation has occurred. Definite worda, it was explained, are comprehended between the twelfth and fifteenth months. Often one word forms the entire vocabulary for a long time. Comprehension of words takes place earlier than the power to speak. There was a great difference be tween boys and girls. The former were slower than the latter. FIRST TO WIN RECOGNITION Earliest of American Authors to Qaln the Coveted Praiss of Europe ' Was Waahlngton Irving. The first author to win general recognition of his genius In Oreat Britain was Washington Irving, who died In his seventy-seventh year at Sunnyslde, N. Y. The Immortal humorist, historian and essayist was born In New Tork, the son of a native of Scotland. He was educated for the law, but hi* tastes were all in the direction of literature, and hla legal career was a brief and almost brief less one. At eighteen he wrote "Let ters of Johnathan Oldstyle," which were published In the New York Morning Chronicle, a newspaper owned by his elder brother, Dr. Peter Irving. He waa only twenty-five when he wrote the celebrated "History of New York, by Dledrlch Knickerbock er." From 1815 until 1832 Irving re sided In England, where his genius was fully recognised. Later he re turned to Europe as United Btatea minister to Spain, and apent several years In Madrid. In the opinion of both American and English critics, Irving has few equals for grace of style and purity and elegance of dic tion and hla works seem destined to take their place among the great clas sics of the English language. Right to Accept Reward. The right of a public officer to ac cept a reward was involved in the case of Hartley vs. Inhabitants of Oranvllle, before the supreme Judicial court of Massachusetts, In which the court ruled that while ordinary peace officers cannot collect additional com pensation for services rendered In per formance of their regular duties, yet a contract made to pay an officer for services rendered outside and not In consistent with hla duties la valid. The court holds that a constable who ferreted out offenders, relying on a re ward offered by the town, may recover, because detective duties are not with in the scope of a constable's offlolal obligation. Lesson for Humanity. A varnished frog dies, not because bodily poisons accumulate In Its akin, but because of overheating. When the air It breathes becomes warmer than 38 degrees Centigrade, Dr. Vittorio Puntonl of the Unlveralty of Bologna reports that the frog must use Its pores to radiate the extra heat. The Lancet, discussing hla findings, remarks that disease germs were discovered to make short work of the varnished ba trachlans, already weakened by swsl tering. The conclusions of Doctor Puntonl have a practical Interest In their relation to the deleterious effects of moist, warm climates and the use of Improper clothing, which f act by disturbing the cutaneous function. Dishonesty Rare In China. The Chines* are said to be the moat honest people to the world In their business relations. They keep their word whether expressed to writ tog according to printed formula or spoken by the lips, and so loyal are they to the honor of the family that the son performs the pledges of the father who may have failed from mls fortunte or desth. However bard they may regard the bargain, how ever convenient and truthful might be the plea of falling business thsse yellow people deeplse such sophistries and keep their word. Borrowing Trouble. Mary Alice had been punished and shnt np to the bedroom. She had been quiet for some time and papa was lust about to open the door and tell bar she might come oat when her sobs burst forth afresh, "Don't cry any more," he eaid, sooth ingly. "Papa has forgiven you." "Oh, I know, papa." abe answered between sobs. "Bat tost think! What an awful thing it would be if I should grow up and hava a little girl as naughty as I am." Word haa reached Washington that when President Wilson and John Lind conferred on board the cruiser Chester, Mr. Lind expressed ''the belief that the waiting policy of the United States Government ' toward Mexico was certain to be 1 rewarded with success. The Presl ' dent ia said to have been well aat ' isfied with the report of his per sonal representative. j— —— ! —I GREATEST ASSET OF THE MERCHANT ! A- Power of Reaching People by Human Contact of Ines timable Value. Tour thoughts may Immediately turn to the stock of goods on hand, the store you own, the home around the corner or the bonds In the ssfety deposit vault when assets are under consideration. T Nothing as tangible as any of these will be discussed here, but when you have read this through, see If you don't believe that there Is an asset worth more than the things already mentioned. which cannot be lnven tSHutnd yet Is worth more to many mWf#«n the goods In their store, Is the power of reaching people by hum an contact and interest. It doesn't sonnd like It Is worth very much, j does ltf But wait. Here is a small store located near a large department store In a certain town. Ths department store carries a full line of smaller merchant's goods, yet the latter haa been In creasing his business each year since the department store started. The reason Is only found In the fact that he Is a likable, accommodating fellow with good business ability, and the friendliness of his nature has attract ed people to his store and causes them to come there whenever the need makes a purchase necessary. His two clerks bsve Imbued the same spirit of good fellowship snd every customer of that store feels that he has a real friend there to wait on him and to suggest different purchases, and to see that he gets the right goods at ths right price. Confidence In this man, In his clerks and in the goods they sell has been Inspired by the human Interest and the personal contact between them and their customers. As pur chasers we all like to bny where there Is a feeling of acquaintance and an atmosphere of friendship. After all the best salesmen are de veloped under circumstances of this sort and there never haa been any better salesmanship than some thai Is manifested over the counters of the retail stores. It Is strange that here can be found ths worst features for discouraging business and also the greatest uss of thst force, the human element In developing busi ness. | An analysis of the reaaons for most sales in many successful stores has proven that this element entered largely Into the transaction. Its In fluence Is Inestimable and It Is a wonderful asset to those who use It, a liability to thoss who do not. Any store whose personal Influence Is strong can withstand much competi tion. It will bold trade In spite of the convenient location of larger stores, ths sase with which people can send away for goods or even the cutting of prices. These are not as strong factors for drawing customsrs as a persona] relation. Lota of times it Is easier to fly off the hsndls when s steady customer registers a kick against some article purchased from you, but by control ling ons's self, giving the customer a fair deal and always wearing a pleas ant smile, you will be knowa aa the "Sonny Jim" of your community, and people will go out of tbalr way to trad a at your stors. It Psys to Advsrtlss. In Nsw York a drygoods merchant had ths blggsst "ad" that was ever plsyed to win. Hs played four Im mense lights In front of his stors In such shape that they acted as X-rsys. The reflection showed the figures and flesh of all the women who passed between the lights In thslr diaphan ous skirts which Is ths current fash lon. I As a result great crowds aasembled to see the show snd it was more at tractive than tbs most daring undress of a comic opsra chorus. Boms of ths womsn who had dress sd to show themselves so shameless ly prstsndsd Indignant virtue and had the merchant brought into court. Thereupon the wlss Judge released ths merchant, with ths remark that hs could barn his lights where be pleased and if ths womsn drsssed so Indecent ly that they made an exhibition of their persons possibls. it was their own faalt Bo tbs lights barn merrily on. And ths crowds gather and the Immodest womsn of this most ludicrous ags pass through the lights snd ars ln spsctfd and commented upon, and braxen men grow bold and talk dis paragingly of womankind and—What are ws coming to anyhowT But clearly.

WHITE SERVANTS' GOOD WORK' Did Much Toward Building Up* the South in the Daya Before the Revolution, Socially the white servant was an Important factor In helping to build up a landed aristocracy in the south, bo cauae he made poaslble the cultivation of extensive areas of land, declares a writer In Harper's Magaxlne. But in the course of a few years he became • free citizen and owner of a small eatate. Thus waa developed a yeoman class, a much needed democratic ele- ' ment in the southern colonies, while at the same time settlers were secured for the black lands, where they were needed to protect the frontier. Never theless, they did not form a distinct class aftefnecomlng freedmen. Some were doubtless the progenitors of the "poor white trash" of the south, but it Is likely that environment rather than birth waa the main factor In producing this class. While comparatively few rose to prominence, yet there are some notable examples to the contrary. Two signers of the Declaration of Inde pendence, George Taylor and Mathew Thornton; Charles Thompson, the sec retary of the continental congress, and General Sullivan of revolutionary war fame, had all been white servants. It Is certain also that many became suc cessful planters, and perhapß the ma jority respectable and desirable citi zens. MADE UP OF LITTLE THINGS ■ - -V Bmall Events Count for Much More In Life Than Thoss We Consider of Importance. We love little things, we hate little things, we fear little things; our lives are knit tip with little things from the time we are born to the day we die. Big thlnga draw us up to Heaven or crush us down to hell. Little things live beside us on the earth, oat and sleep with us, laugh and grtimble with us, catch the early train with us, or make us miss It, Irritate and appeaso us-rnever leave us alone for a min ute. That Is why they are so much more Important than the big things—the things that only come once In a way, at long Intervals, and even then are nearly always the result or a hundred and one little things combined. To be crushed by a large misadven ture Is natural, but to fall a victim to a aeries of petty misfortunes Is hu miliating. There are many who would prefer to break their necks once and for all by falling off a mountain, than to bruise their whole bodies and dis locate their tempers by the dally stumbling over a mole-hlll. It is the little things that count —the satisfac tion of ollmblng Mount Olympus Is a poor sort of attainment If the scores and scores of pleasant details which wait upon success be absent. —From the Atlantic. Saying Cams True. The discovery that Scottish bank notes have actually been forged with in the walls of Peterhead convict prison recalls an amusing Incident. Unlike the notes of the Rank of England (which are destroyed as soon an they find their way back to the bank), notes on Scottish banks are put in circulation again and again. The result Is that some of these notes get very dirty, the one-pound notes get ting particularly grubby and worn in the course of their travels. An English barrister who was once given a sheaf of these notes In pay ment of a large amount, regarded them wllh horror for a few seconds, ..holding them delicately between his thumb and finger. "Now," he said, holding them at arm's length, "now I understand the meaning of that saying about "filthy lucar.'" -In ths Nursery, It does not mean that a woman can not take charge of ber own children's bringlng-up simply because she puts them In a nursery. She can take charg« of them as well In a nursery as out of one. If they are In charge of a governess, however, she should be a woman who can be thoroughly trust ed. In these days of mothers' help ers the young woman who Alls that po sition would have the supervision of the nursery lo a bouse where she waa employed, and she should bo chosen with the greatest care. For the whole value of the nursery Idea is that the children who are brought up In a nursery lead a quieter, more untram meled life than they do when they live out of the nursery.—Exchange. Trick of ths Orator. Disraeli, whose eloquence Lord Cur ton ranks below that of Gladstone, tried hard to give his hearers the I re pression that he was not In the habit of preparing hla speeches. Discussing Plunket's oratory with Disraeli, l-ord Granville remarked that the Irish statesman hesitated so long for a word that be seemed to on the point of breaking down. "Lord bless you," Disraeli exclaimed. "Did that take you taT Why, that Is part of the trick. I have often done It to make It appear that my speech has not been pre pared." Astronomies!. That the space between earth and the stars la occupied with some medi um that resists the rays of light is the belief, among others, of the astrono mers Blrkeland and See, who say that the whole sky la suffused with nebu lous material.

The duck comes nearer perpetual motion than anything on the farm— not excepting the boys. Pasture or other feed will go farther when there Is plenty of water, shade, and protection from flies. When a cow Is foundered, plenty of water to drink and very light feed, will often correct the trouble. If you want to raise a good cow you must first raise a good calf from the start all the way up to the cow. Milk utensils should have a sun bath every day, but they should be protected from dust at the same time.
