This is what I like to hear a man say. and this one has signed three or four road improvement petitions that will cost him extra taxes but give him very little benefit: "Yes, I'll sign that petition.

So far as being a patron of the school is concerned, I am not inter- ested. Yet I signed the petition. I know it will coat some money. Some of my neighbors are doing the sane thing to-night.

First, train yourself to the habit of expressing everything simply, enor- geticaily and directly. Then " your whole soul on the great boo.k ot life, the inexhaustablo record of human passion and emotion and experience. There was never a better precept for an author than the intense, tramsiigur. ing line of Sir Philip Sidney: '." 'Kool,' said my muse td me, ‘look in thy heart and write.' " If the young author is determined to pick out special models, he cannot do better than to choose the classical prose of the eighteenth century; prose that does not pretend to lofty imag- ination. hut that is eminently simple, supple, easy and vigorous, the prose of Swift, Addison or Goldsmith. Yet far better than any particular models is a wide reading ot great writers of very different types. Turn from Chaucer to Thackeray. Mix Dryden with Dickens. And let a sure and adequate English of Four own Itow out of the blending ot the most vari- ous styles and temperaments. But more important than any study of models is the training and disciplin- Ing of your own_mind. The greatest needs of a writer ot the present day. of any day, are brevity and lucidity; and the one essential preliminary to writing clearly is to think clearly. The greatest writer of the world, from this point of view, said that the two main elements ot style are precision and color. Color is the gift of God. But precision can be learned, and the way to learn it is to think out your subject clearly and aecunttely before you put pen to paper. Many young writers hear that Lin- coin formed his style on the Bible and Shakespeare and think that the wisest course tor them is to do likewise. We cannot fill our lives too full of the Bible-at any rate most of us to-day do not; and the stern. rugged, vigor- ous, or sweet and tender, English of the Scriptures is as fruitful a model for literature as it is for life. But the case with Shakespeare is altogether ilitterent, His plays are an exhaustless mine of delight for those who love imaginative beauty, but they are bad models for a young writer. Shakes- pears was the richest and most fertile poet the world has ever known. But his merits are inimitable.

It must have been a denial as well u a joy when He sent them forth; a denial. in that He would be left without their compon- ionship, which was dear to him; a joy, in that they were to go out and proclaim the coming of the kingdom. Our Lord in His humanity loved Hi: companions (St. John 18, 1) and do. aired to have them with Him as He preached and worked miracles. He was lonely, He loved men, and that blessed fellowship which, since Chris- tianity was established, has created the church and human brotherhood, was a part of His blessed work. 1 Two Sides of Life. 1 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not; but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Isrtxel.--8t.

From the point of view of the money invested, the reuults have been emin- ently satisfactory, and they are great. er still from the point of view of bene- fiting and enmumging the Indians to In the early part ot 1918, it came to the attention ot the Government, anx- ious to bring about the greatest pos- sible production, that only n small pro- portion of land on the Indian reserves in the west was under C1r'tivatiott. Arrangements were accordingly made to lease these reserves for cultivation and an appropriation of $300,000 put at the disposal of the Inspector of In- dian Agencies to be used in encourag- ing the Indians to greater production ot grain and cattle. Machinery and horses were purchased, reserves tenc- ed y, here necessary, buildings erected, and sed and livestock secured. The lndlun population ot the reserves was called upon for every ettort and nobly responded by putting in long hours on the Greater Production farms and speeding up production on their own farms.
