John Wiletts, farmer, was out ir
the field with his men. It was her

morning to late at night the work
went on, storing up the crops in the i
great barn against the coming of
winter. j

It was about 11 o'clock and the
housewife began to think of the
lunch hour, which would mean that
half a dozen ravenous men whom
she w'ould have to feed plentifully
... . , . , .. !
would descent upon her.What should
they have? It had to be something |
hot, for a cold meal is not relished i
by a hard worker. She decided that 1
it should be hot cakes and she went !
about her task of making a huge
mountain. The fire was burning !
brightly and soon the fat was siz j
zling on the griddle and the pleasing j
odor of flapjacks filled the house.
It was calm before the storm. The
griddle got to hot. In a moment
there was a flash and the grease was
in flames. When the woman turned
they were roaring ceiling high.
For a moment she was paralyzed
wiih fear. What was to be done 7
Seizing a poker she dragged the
blazing griddle to one side. It split
ard fell to the floor, throwing it'
blazing contents all over the wood
work.
The old, dry wood was instant!}
in flames. Mrs. Willetts became
oaniz-stricken and fled to call for

whole kitchen was ablaze. It had

The smoke from the blazing fire

was left but a pile of smoking tim

years, was a pile of smoking embers.
That is the story of many a farm

If there had been the slightest

The Annual Flower Show
The dates for the Flower Show
have been set. and November tenth
md eleventh promises to he the two
jays of enjoyment and instruction
for all lovers of flowers. Extensive
preparations are being made by the
different committees and there is the
isual willingness of the town g inerai
lv in support of this beautiful cele
bration instituted by the Civic
League.
Wo recall with pleasure and pride
the Flower Show of last year, and
here is no reason why the display,
the influence and culture of this help
~u' f ature should not grow more
elaborate and more far-reaching each
vear. The degree of ability attained
in any department of knowledge de
icnds finally upon the amount of ef
'ort. put forth and the success of the
November Flower Show is assur
d by the ability of

ions shows. If the quality of eiur
ideas corresponds with the quality of
the things by which we are influenc
d, then what an opportunity is ours
i teach that "The beautiful is
as useful as the useful—perhaps |
more so." Let us all begin today to
add to our Colection of Plants—other ;
plants for the success of this Flower j
Show—that is numbered among the i
attractive features of "The Queen of
the Sugar Belt." Lets strive to make
the quality such, that the influence
may teach :
"There isn't a flower under our
feet,
But has some teaching soft and
sweet,

To me the meanest flower that
blooms can give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep
for tears."

richly worth the knowing, j
Are You Making Good
Perhaps every employer has heard
something like this: "I just feel like
quitting. I am getting only five dol
lars per week." So many employees
say this in so many words or by
t'ieir actions. What is wrong with the !
employee or employer? J
Here is the trouble in most cases: |
The employee is getting say, five j
dollars per week. That person keeps
that constantly before him, and the
consequence is that he assumes the
attitude that "as I am getting only
five dollars per week, I am not going
to give more than five dollars worth
of service each week, and I'll not
give that much if 1 can help it."
Then what reason would his employ
er have for increasing his pay? If
he does not earn five dollars, could he
reasonably expect that he would
eam more if he were paid more?
Surely not?
He or she that is striving to he
successful will give the greatest
amount of service possib?*. and when
this is done it is a strange employ« r
who will not recognize that <
i'ffort.
