He won $87 in prizes, $45 of it in competition with experienced | farmers. His animals are now valued at $525.

The proclama- | tion follows: | "Trees are a vital factor in the life of nations and the life of men. They are one of the greatest resources of | our wealth, but they are more than] that. Without them most of our | rivers would run dry. Without them | many of our fertile fields would be-| come arid wastes. | "Without them much of the beauty {in several waters and then in Removing Ink Stains To remove black ink stains, the ar- ticle should be washed immediately milk, letting it soak in the milk for several hours; the stain will disappear. Washing the article immediately in vinegar and water, then in soap and water, will remove all ordinary ink stains. & Friendship and Freedom There can be no friendship where there is no freedom. Friendship loves a free air and will not be penned up in strait and narrow en- closures. It will speak freely and act and the charm of life would disap- pear. It is hard to think of a real home without trees. He who plants a tree today, under whose shade men and women may rest and children | play a hundred years from now, is| a benefactor of mankind. | "You cannot think of trees without thinking also of birds. For it is in the branches of trees that these little feathered friends of man find their | fairest homes. "The birds of the air have been] always deep objects of interest to| mankind. Their beauty delighted the eye, their songs have cheered the hearts of. countless generations of men. | Junior | Boys ~Join the Jackies vas | COMMUNITY HOUSE Saturdays, 11 to 12 A. M.

MARSHAL FOCH MASTER | | i 1919, and Friday, October | | OF "SIT TIGHT" GAME | In a recent issue of 'the house] magazine of the National Biscuit | company there appeared an editorial] entitled "Sitting Tight," inspired by | the great human qualities of Marshal | Foch. A copy of the magazine was | sent to the Marshal who has ack-| nowledged it by inditing on his per- sonal card this message: "Sinceres remerciements," meaning "sincere| thanks." Terse and to the point, as| is the man. "The most unassuming | great man I ever met," says Charles | M. Schwab. | The editorial was as follows: "The peace for which the free peo- ple of the world have had to fight is won. Truth and justice and right have triumphed and eternally will triumph. There is a God! "Large against the background of the war's end looms the figure of Ferdinand Foch, whose fame will last until man has run his course and the river of time is dry. A mili- tary genius? Yes! But more than that a man--one who thinks little in terms of self but much in terms of hu- manity. "Silent, sincere and master of sit- ting tight is Ferdinand Foch. Tt is only a few months back that the Germans had the armies of the allies backed to the wall. In those critical days the whole world somewhat querulously asked: 'Where is Foch?' "Foch has heart as well as brains. He sat tight because he knew thou- sands upon thousands of human lives depended upon his every de- cision. Men of his type do not take long chances--only fools and gamb- lers and German military leaders, to whom soldiers are cannon fodder, do that. "Foch sat tight, letting the world pass such comment as it might. He knew that he would be responsible for the result--and he accepted that responsibility seriously. Foch waited | until the chances at least were equal. | The world knows what happened but it little appreciates, now, the lives he saved. "There is a lesson here for every- one. It is to sit tight until you are! sure you may go ahead with the mini- mum chance of disappointment or failure. "Unless you have something worth while to offer when a subject is pre- sented, sit tight. If you don't know what it is all about there is all the more reason you should sit tight, for in that way you will be learning something instead of displaying your ignorance. Sit tight, but say the right thing at the right time. Criticize when you can criticize, when you can suggest something better for the thing you tear down." $n $s.
