WHAT DID YOU DO?
Did you give him a lift? He's a bro
ther of man,
And bearing about all the burden he
can.
Dd you give him a smile? He was
downcast and blue,
And the smile would have helped him
to battle it through.
Did you give him your hand ? He was
slipping down hill,
And the world so he fancied, was
using him ill.
Did you give him a word? Did you
.show him the road,
Or did you just let him go on with
his load?
Do you know what it means to be
losing the fight,
When a lift just in time might set ev
erything right?
Do you know what it means just the
clasp of a hand,
When a man's borne about all a man
ought to stand .'
Did you ask what it was why the
quivering lip?
Whv the half-sunnressed eob, .ind the
scalding tears drip?
Were you brother of his when the ttm
came of need ?
Did you offer to help him or didn't
you heed?

Now is the proper time of the sea
eon to select the fruit trees and decide
on the best varieties to set out this
fall. Fall planting of fruit troei
brings better results than spring
planting.
A one-year-old tree is more desir
able for setting out than a three or
four-year-old tree. It is better to get
fruit trees that :;re hudded in prefer
ence to grafted ones.
Only healthy and well grown trees
should be planted. Examine the trees
for scale insects, bores and crown
gall, and if the young fruit trees are
not satisfactory, return them and have
them replaced with good ones. Be
sure to examine every tree carefully
before tettimr out. No fruit can be
expected from diseased trees. It
cheaper to set out a healthy tree than
one that is infected.
Plant the fruit trees in good, rich
soil. If the soil is not fertile, dig a
large hole where the tree is to grow
or compost. The compost can be made
and fill the hole with straw manure
by dumping weeds, leaf mold ant,
vegetable matter of all kinds into a
heap and allowing this material to de
cay. Mix the fertilizer with garden
loam soil in the bottom of the hole
where the, fruit tree is to grow, and
good results in line fruit arc bound
to ionic.
In planting a tree, do not set it too
deeply. The best rule to follow is tf
set the tree to same depth it stood, iv)
tho nursery. Prune the br;inchefc.tdil
the roots of a young tree ,stoS2f

THE CREED OF SCIENCE
Superstition is not religion. Belief
ithout evidence is not religion. Faith
without facts is not religion. What
is religion? To love justice, to long
for the right, to love mercy, to pity
the suffering, to assist the weak, to
forget wrongs, and remember bene
fitsto love the truth, to be sincere,
to utf.cr honest words, to love liberty,
to wage relentless war against slav
ery in all forms, to love wife and
hild and friends, to make a happy
home, to love the beautiful in art, in
nature, to cultivate the mind, to be
familiar with the mighty thought that
genius has expressed, the noble deeds
of all the world, to cultivate courage
and cheerfulness, to make others hap
py, to fill the life with the splendor
of generous acts, the warmth of gen-
erous words, to discard error, to do-
troy prejudice, to receive new truths
with gladness, to cultivate hope, to
see the calm beyond the storm, the
lawn beyond the night, to do the best
that can be done and then to be re
signed this is the religion of reason,
the creed of science. This satisfies
the brain and the heart. The creed
of science is the best for all mankind,
and there are but six words which
need to be kept before the worship
er of this creed TRUTH, LIBERTY",
COURAGE, LOVE, MERCY, PITY'.

Bunch grapes may be pruned at
any time in the winter while they are
dormant, but pruning should not be
delayed until the buds begin to swell
Peach trees may be pruned in Jan-
juary and February, the latter month
being preferred.

BRYAN RETAINS FRIENDSHIP
OF THE PRESIDENT
There are different kinds of differ
ence, W. J. Bryan points out, and his
differences with President Wilson are
different from those between Roose
velt and Taft. He reiterates that he
and the President will continue in un
disturbed friendship.
iur. uryan states tnat two vears
ago last month he went to Washing
ton at the invitation of the President
because he thought he could render
service to the government, and that
he is satisfied with the work done i
the State Department. ''In the few
instances," says Mr. Bryan, "in whic
we could not agree. 1 have stated
my views with frankness and am
willing to risk the judgment of the
party and the country.
"The Republicans must not put the
differences between the President end
myself in the same class with the dif
ferences between Mr. Taft and M
Roosevelt. Mr. Taft and Mr. Iioose
velt had personal differences whi
led to a division in the Republican
party. The tlifl'erences between the
President and myself are differences
of principle and will not disturb th
friendship between us. I rely upon my
record during the last 25 years to
prove my devotion to the Democratic
party and that devotion was neve
greater than today."

THE STONE-BRUISE AGE
HOW TO STORE SWEET
POTATOES
Canyonviile, Ore. How an old trap
per with his leg caught in a big bear
trap perished alone in the forest 17
years ago, was revealed when the skel
eton was found recently. The skele
ton is believed to be that of a well-
fiweuaVOTa character named Blynn, who
disappeared many yean ago.
A bulletin from the State Board of
Health says: "The ideal proposed by
Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States
Commissioner of Education, is that
the country school tliouh! bo as sani
tary and wholesome as the best home
in the community. To attain this
end the. school house must have a
healthful location, well drained an!
with ample play grounds; should be
made rs fire- jiroof as possible, with
doors opening outward; must be pro
vided with an abundance -of fresh tir.
He further advises that light be
abundant; that there be no dry sweep
ing and dusting. He especially urges
that the common drinking cup be
abandoned and that there be a con
venient place for washing hands."
It seems so many years ago,
Far back in ancient times,
W'hen smoking corn-silk cigarettes
Was not the least of crimes;
When, pirates, or wild Indians,
We played upon life's stage,
Back on the Koad to Yesterday;
Back in the Stone-Bruise age.
We romped barefooted all day long;
We read "Tom Sawyer," too,
Or fished for bullheads in the pond,
Beneath the skies of blue;
And many a homeless bow-bow would
Our sympathies engage,
Hack on the Road to Yesterday;
Back in the Stone-Bruise age.
The lemonade stand-tin-can phones
The postage stamps the sleds
The haunted house the cider press
And Grandma's ginperbreads
The jack o'lr.nterns all remain
Undimmed on Memory's page,
Though gone, the P.oad to Yesterday,
And gone, tho Stone-Bruise age.

After potatoes are dug thny should
be left in the field for 24 hours where
the sun can dry them. All cut nrd
broken places on the potatoes will
then become coated with wax.
There is a kind of sap or gum that
runs out at every place where the
skin is broken on the sweet potato,
and if left in the sun this becomes
hard, sealing all such cuts and brok
en places airtight, so to speak.
Sweet potatoes are lik hay, to gome
extent; when dug there ia ftfl excess
ive amount of moisture in them, and
if stored in bulk before they are
"cured" they will sweat, and then heat.
which will cause them to rot. The
better potatoes are cured or aired out
before they are stored, the better they
can be kept. In storing sweet pota
toes there are three thing3 necessary.
First warmth; second dryness;
third ventilation.
If sweet potatoes are allowed to
freeze they are most sure to be ruin
ed, aid they will also be ruined by
too hot a temperature.
They must be kept dry; an ex
cessive amount of moisture will ruin
them. They must be stored so the air
car. circulate around and through the
"pile" of potatoes. They should be
stored where these conditions can be
met. Sweet potatoes may be stored
out in the field in the Southern States.
Storing in the Field. A good way
to store them in the field is to put
them in "hills." In making these
hills care must be taken to provide
ventilation and drainage. To make a
hill, selert a place that is well drain
ed. Level the ground on a place sev
en or eight feet, then throw enough
soil on it to make it two or three
inches higher than the surrounding
ground. Now cover this with four
inches of straw, cornstalks or some
like material. Now pile as many po
tatoes as can be piled on this, hav
ing the pile sharp at the top. Now
cover the pile of potatoes with two
or three inches of leaves, straw or
cornstalks. Then cover this with
about four inches of soil, all except
on top of the pile there should be a
hole about twelve inches in diameter.
This should be covered with boards
or some material that will keep out
the rain, and at the same tunc leave
the hole bo air can pass to the pota
toes. Where cellars can be had they
are best for storing potatoes.
Morganfield, Ky. A sassafras
stump was unearthed here recently
which still retained its odor, although
calculations showed that the tree had
died in 1811.
SCHOOLS AND EPIDEMICS
According to a bulletin recently is.
sued by the State Board of Health,
no school should close on account of
contagious diseases. If the teacher
is alert and the health officer on the
job. An epidemic can be avoided or
so controlled that there will be no
loss of time on the part of the school
as a whole. The old way of closing
school on account of some contagious
disease was adopted for the reason
that there was apparently nothing
else to do. The scientific way is not
to close the school but t keep the
children under observation so that an
early case may. be detected and re
moved before it becomes the source
of infection to the other children.
