women who remain students throughout their life but so many dissipate their ability to read and their leisure hours in reading cheap and worthless books they may be grateful for the education given

sold must conform to definitions prescribed bj law in his report for 1925 the do minion seed commissioner points out that our grades are based primarily he general quality and purity of seed determined by its freedom from npxious and useless weed seeds and its percentage of puro living seeds the general appearance of the seed as influenced by weather or sasonal conditions cleaning maturity and disease is also taken into con a deration cereals grasses sweet clover field com and all other for age and fodder crop seeds have been brought under thia compulsory grad ing system and all grading is done by qualified official inspectors of seed branch the what i they a classics nor worth while books of to day nor the best magaunea the av eragc person reads to pass the time away not to feed the mind tho average person also lives under the delusion that serious reading is de void of pleasure and so amuses him self with popular novels and shallow magulnc stories pchaps it does take a little more will power and ef fort to cultivate the habit of reading rood books than the habit of read ng the lighter stuff but once the good book habit is formed it can not be broken and it pays cxhorbi tant dividends it is significant that some who read popular literature in bulk occasionally take np and i never tolerate t i brief re- the best of men say that there nothing worth having in life with out bard work but we envy the man who has a lot of money left to bun or much property amid the hard life most of us have to live there sften seems an uneicnncss some have to work so hard whilst others have so much ease and luxury and wents that some things are twisted life though in the end all things become straightened out and there is then little difference between us someone wrote not long ago we all come from the same mould but some are mouldlcr than others il will do none of us any good to linger long upon the differences we find distinctions really dont matter in the ultimate issue the vital things are the contacts and one of the most im portant things is that of doing our utmost to discover that which will ennoble and uplift this can only be done by moral and mental digging that will mean perspiration it is really hard work and at first will give ache and weariness but it is remarkable how soon that will wear off the vim and strength and read ncss of our roadmen and gardener fellows always digging and bending the back are remarkable some of them seem to be immune from wean ncss they give their sweat and will tell you they are used to the job and don t notice it our lives hold innum erablc treasures but they rarely lie near the surface they hale to be sought and much digging done for their discovery look at it another way you cannot learn french mere ly by walking about and rooking into shop windows it maj mean going into the attic away from all others and just working sway into tho ear- morning hours we all have to ego certain pleasures when we go digging it may mean that you lmut sacrifice your outdaor pleasures for a while but then look at the splendor of achievement for life s blessing wfc have to be up and doing what ever the ambition tiuij be it ib far better that t should be gained by own effort work hard and if r tpcr get as high as we have at met we bhall be far better than those who gain without labor las in iolent easycouch people arc ttle alue he ls a far greater who f nds his job of digging for wh ch will maintain him and x his drops of sweat ar the he pnja for his blessings it is icrv ce which costs whether it in for oneself or another bat is most fruitful so we shonl i tig until our hands are horny because as we gite ucs we feed another and to iclp a fcllo through life even at thv price of our blood is to redeem life from destruction and to crown wrth glorv and honor thoukh lifi om pal maj seem up hill you ii fin 1 the grade with speed and skill i khow you will if you tint trj anl never never stop to cry
