Josiali Howards Address.
Continued from First pane.
households; and yet it is a great truth
that woman do not possess all the
goodness, the common sense and right
judgment in the world and an equally
great truth that men do have lofty and
noble ambitions and do achieve great
things in life, alone, free and inde
pendent, except as they are or may be
indebted to God.
For some time it has been popular
for public speakers and writers to eulo
gize the mercy, and goodness and
greatness of mothers; but the minister,
lecturer, teacher or writer, who places
her qualities ahead of the father's ia
attempting to preach an untruth that
has ruined many a family.
A woman's intuition may be great
but it never kept her from making
poor marriages and many bad bargains, j
Some might ask what has home life, j
sociability and education to do with i
making a living on a rented farm of
ordinary size in an ordinary back
country district, but the inquirer will
not be the well-to-do farmer, nor the
well-to-do merchant, nor the well-to-do
laboring man.
The thrifty, honest, progressive citi- <
zen never questions the blessings of in- |
telligent, upright living, and it is one i
of the hardest things in the world to !
understand, why the most unsuccessful
men are the strongest in their belief in
dreams and luck, and the loudest in
their scoflings at marriage, honesty, re
ligion, education or laithful service
and good will to employer or assistant.
These things are as neccery to our
life as the filling of the stomach or the
expanding of the lungs
The best farms, the best factories and
the best men in the world, are those in
sight of and under the influence of the
best ministers, the best schools and the
best women in the land; while the
poorest farms and the most unreliable
men stay away from the church and
the school house and are under the
influence of ignorant and indifferent
women.
Now those are God's truths and are
universal, applying equally to the
farmer, manufacturer or merchant, to
the rich man and to the poor man
alike.
Three fourths of the farms'are owned
by the men living on them, so are a
majority of the houses in a town owned
by the people who live in them.
Tenants on a farm do not always
pay the rent but the percentage of
deadbeat tenants is much larger in the
town than on the rented farm.
The fact that one-i'ourth of the farms
in the country nre rented and have
been for some time, is evident that
most of the rent is paid, and the fact
that three-fourths of the farms are
owned by the men living on them is
evidence that some men can not only
pay rent but in time can pay for and
own the whole farm.
It is also evident that if we don't
know how deep to plant our potatoes;
don't know the best kind of fertilizer
to use on them; don't have the best
laying chickens, and don't have the
best dispositioned and best pulling
horses; if we don't know the cost and
value of good country roads; if we can
notappreciate the blessings of a friendly
smile, or know the worth of a hearty
laugh; if we are not able to so forecast
the weather as to permit tho proper
harvesting of our crops, I am afraid
we will not realize much of a bank
account over and above the rental
of our farm.
Education may be to know the why
and how to do things, but true educa
tion is to learn to do and to use things
Let us fully determine to combine
intelligence with our energy and brains;
let us realize that we can gradually
grow in brains and common sense just
as we grow in age and size or knowl
edge.
Let us realize that common sense is
an orchard, which, to be valuable, must
be planted with good seed and have all
suckers and idle thoughts constantly
trimmed away.
Let us appreciate the efforts too, of
the State Board of Agriculture, let us
try to realize the benefits of farmers'
institutes and let us show our appre
ciation by our attendance and interest,
and then, I venture to say, the per
centage of discontented and shiftless
farm tenants will grow gradually less.
Now just one word in conclusion;
the best crop to grow on a farm or any
where else is not a balance in the bank.
To have a good son is more satisfactory
than to have a good bank ac
count, and statistics show that the so
called poor farmer's boy marches step
by step past the city laboring man's
son, onward and upward past the rich
man's son, and stands to-day in the
majority on the foremost platform of
our national life.
'"All honor to the man behind the
gun," but don't forget he needs an
intelligent admiral in the watch tower,
and that admiral perhaps may be his
own dear wife.

The younK matron of forty sees the frost

fresh look—or worse, is growing thin or
breaking off—and she is showing signs of
ageing before her time. Thisshould not be.

roots, forcing nuw growth, restoring fresh
ness and beauty, and positively turning the
gray hair back to its youthful color. It Is

color the scalp, hands or clothing ; it is not
greasy or sticky, nor does it rub off.
On the contrary, Hair-Health is a refreshing, dainty,
delicately perfumed, necessary adjunct to the careful
