Whithall,4 the ' owner : of ther mills in Massachusetts, which is giving the demonstration today at ParkeY-Gard-ner's on rug and carpet making, : and one. which "might be read with keen interest by ambitious boys in the mills t6day." ;.:f'-;".'" . .'' ; '" " ' Fifty-two years ago Mr.. Whlthall began work as a. boy in a mill along with; one -of the Messrs. ...Cqleya wh is now in charge pf 'the demonstration. Today Mr, Whlthall is the Individual owner' of a number of woolen' inllls in Massachusetts "which are valued at several million dollars. Mr. Whithall worked in the mill during thie day and attended night eschool just like some of the boys are doing today. But one. of the most' beautiful things - about it is, as -gleaned from the picture given by Mr. '. Coley and,' by the way, ex cuse the parenthetical remark, but that is a good way to find out what 4 man is by ' what his employes think of his rthat he has never forgotten it.' Every ; man -who is the ; part of a man at all climbs up from the point the point where his father left him, but .it is a' sad fault often found in those who make'such bounding strides that "they sometimes forget that they were ever once down . working among their I unfortunate brothers- Hwever. such a quality, does "not belong to the man one': would " like to be. ' Of course, every boy working in the mill will5 not become a mill owner, but every boy . can become an expert mlirman, whether it be as boss, su perintendent or. just expert In any line. Arid whatever 'work' s being done should -be done .well,, and not merely" dragged through - while the operative is looking for some bigger job. B'g jobs do not come that way. The boy who does not do his work well as a doflfer or ' sweeper - or. ; any . other Job would; not be intrusted - with a ; better position. It : is doing , the little things well that brings ope up to the bigger positions.''' ''i-:-'- r ;;'..' It is trus thaf while every boy will not become a mill owner, nor will, all of -them;: ever reach, the high posi tions,, but; it : is ' possible for : seme ' of them "to become mill owners ;f or, in no work is thjere such a vast opportunity for a '" boy to ' make himself ; a man who will be heard from' as in the mill. But. such a position comes with appli cation and work' and study and more application "and work' and " study and still more and more as each day pass es. . , ; Success "might well be- likened to the story of the clock and the pendu lum. When the clock told the pendu1 lum the " number of ' times it-; would have' to swing badk and forth during one year,'" the number was so great that the pendulum was afraid ' and said 'that it never could do it; and so stood v still. 'After ::. considering ; the matter, the pendulum finally decided that it would only be one stroke at a time and began its." con'stant.tlck;t0cjfe. After the year's work had been completed,-;, the pendulum ' said to the lock:,. "It, wasn't hard after all, I only had to keep at.it." T , ' .

" . i FOREIGN VIEWS OF MR. WILSON What Editors in Europe Are Writing About the President-iaect. (New York Evening Post.) Telegraphic dispatches ; on Novem ber 6 gave-' us a general idea of the comments of .the, foreign press upon our presidential election. But as the French, German and English news papers ' have been coming by mail, reading of the tr editorial views gives opportunity for a fuller understand ing. The significance of a Republican defeat" and of the failure of Roosevelt is variously interpreted, and the ore casts of future party alignments differ. But in one respect there Is something like a consensus. This lies In the judg ment formed of Wobdrow Wilson. His success is, of course, primarily regard ed as that ' of the Democratic party, but over and above this a great dael of emphasis is laid upon his person ality. His election has long been held certain by instructed political observ ers in Europe, as it had been here, and thus they had time to make up their minds -concerning the man, and also about the meaning of hs comng to the presdency. All of them speak of him as a "new" man. This is not intended in the old Roman sense of a novus homo. It means that Wilson is of a type new in the higher American politics. The Westminster .Gazette suggests this in tne very title or its article on tne elec tion, nomely, "The College President." It speaks of "this experiment of the 'philosopher-king . made in the un Ukellest quarter of the world." This at onee 1 conveys the point. Europe is familiar with public -men taken from the universities. Oxford has long been the cherishing mother of statesmen.' . But foreigners . are more vividly "aware than, many Americans seem , to be how great a novelty it is in the United States when, as the Westminster Gazette puts it, "the learned historian, professor and ex college principal, walks into the White House." We here, closer by, give mors-attention than the foreigners do to Wilson's brief period of transition. He did not go straight from the pres idency of Princeton to the presidency of the Nation. His stirring campaign in New Jersey, his tellteg adminstra tion as Governor, his frequent speak ing on politics before audiences in al parts of the country.-led us insensibly to think of him more as a public man than as a college man. But across the' water they are struck by the fact that Americans, after many years "of talk about "the college .man in poll tics," have at last taken one and made him President. X . . As to Signing One's Name. - (From The Christian Herald.) --:.The ordinary woman needs to be cautioned against signing her name to a contract or other document with out knowing precisely to what she is pledging herself "Sign here," a woman is - told, it may be by a .member of her . family, a house agent or some body else with whom she is having a business transactiol. She sees a blank space and she writes hef name. Later, she may discover that she has become responsible, to her embarrassment, in -the settlement of claims to her, own pended to a personal letter or written at the direction of another, has in it a quality of permanence, and may rise in- judgment . against one long afeer the ink is dried and the act forgot ten. ... ' - Always insist upon reading anything that you sign. Be satisfied that your signature stands for that which your judgment approves. v THIS LADY'S GOOD APPETITE Kirs.

More than one-jhalf of .the 'failures in the poultry world -are due directly or indirectly to parasites the bane of the poultry . industry.-, .These para sites are better known when called by the misnomer chicken 1 lice. They derive their nourishment from the body; of the fowl some .are - blood suckers, - others eat the scales of the skins, - and irritate it, , others get nourishment from the feathers, -while others burrow in the fleshh and cause inflammation and disease. They are upwards of 60 - varieties of poultry parasites -. Some : 20 , different - kinds are found on :- the .domestic hens, up wards ot z o varieties are rouna. on turkeys, peafowl and : puineas, on: pig eons -10. kinds, on feese 6 kinds,- on ducks 5 kinds, on swans 2 kinds, some varieties of parasites ; are common to all: varieties f of owl,, namely the com mon hen louse. - ::;: .- " :' To successfully combat- there para sites, -that no serious harm can -come to the flock,, itr is necessary to under stand the conditions which make .their development possible. .Somes of these parasites live upon the f owl contin ually, . others live in ; the cracks and crevices of J the , poultry house, and sally forth when the fowl : goes to roost. These are blood-suckers,; which gorge themselves with blood abstract ed from the fowl, and retreat again to their haunts before the: f owl . leaves the roost in the morning. - Some va rieties of parasites breath ." only through tubes in . the sides ' of the body. - These are readily killed by dusting, which closes these breathing tubes. Other varieties of these para sites have other means of breathing and the dust has little effect on them, they must be destroyed by liquids or fumes. .;,; .-:-: "..;;: Parasites develop from eggs that are glued to the feathers or hidden in cracks and crevices of the poultry coop. Therefore, we , must take such measures as will destroy the eggs before hatching. . Great Breeders.' . ., Under favorable conditions a single parasite can produce in ' the aggre- rill: Enlarged drawings of the most common varieties : of parasites which infest poul try and pigeons. ; " . : gate - of three . generations, 1 during" a period of eight weeks upwards of 120.000 of its kind. Therefore a close watch must be kept at all times over the birds and their coops to see that the parasites do not get a start. 'A damp, nlthy ;. and unsanitary, coop is the best breeding ground for vermin, and the most unfavorable for the poultry. The birds' vitality Is lowered under such unsanitary conditions, and does not take to the dust bath which would destroy the vermin. An infested fowl is sometimes In troduced in the flock and' in "'.a short time all - the hords are lousy. . . Incubator ' chicks -are -infested many times by introducing among them a few hen hatched chicks. All new fowls should be treated in quar antine before being allowed to mingle with the flock The' hatching hen - is one of the great sources for producing parasites. Sparrows are -also considered ; good carriers of vermin. Nest boxes should be sprayed and dusted : frequently with some odorless preparation that will not give the eggs a, bad flavor. ''. How Parasites Affect Poultry. . They reduce th vitality, by taking the blood and disturbing the fowl's Guatemala Wants . Americans. " . ; (From The Washington Post.) "Guatemala , exports more 'l than 100,00,000 : pounds of coffee every year, most of which . comes to $ the United States," said Pedrq Diaz, . a merchant of Guatemala City. "The raising -of coffee Is the largest indus try of Guatemala, but all kinds of agriculture are prospering. We can raise nearly every kind of a crop that can be produced In other sections of the world. We hve tho xsllmate and the soil; all we need is capital and the population.

These mites will - live s for many months in a building after all poultry is removed, living on the fluid filthy matter of the droppings. : -V , Itch and scaly leg . mites (Cnemi docopteslaevis) are shown in - Fig-. 6, (a) being the 'male land (b) the fe male of the itch or scab mite; .

' . 4 -; ' ' ' .They -burrow., in the comb and -: in tne skin on the head and neck, caus ing the. loss of. the reathers,. and the skin becomes dry - and roughened.
