There nre some who are always nt
their best when they are allowed to
lead. If they occupy a prominent po
sition. If their decision settle doubtful
questions, they are rendy to work as
hard as anyone. But If someone else
Is leader, their activities nre confined
to criticism and fnultftndtng. It Is
good thing to be rendy to lend when
pOO are called to leadership, hut It Is
most unfortunate not to know how to

Slow Practice In Learning Playing 01
Singing Will Always Produce
the Best Results.
One can scarcely be too Insistent on
the value of slow practice In playing
or singing. The student learns mucR
more quickly by slow practice than In
any other wny, because the brain has
more time to assimilate the impression
of the work done than If It Is gone over
rapidly.
It Is a truism, thnt to lenrn fast the
student must go slow. Every teacher
of experience is aware of the fact, yet
many fall to Impress the truth with
sufficient force on young people, and
the result is disappointment on both
Bides.
It ls necessary to remind students
frequently of the Importance of slow
practice; they nre forgetful, and "get
through" their work rather than try to
understand It, because of matters more
exciting. Hut getting through quickly,
hns the same result as getting rich
quickly, it often results in disaster.
If we desire to understand what we
rend In literature, do we read It over
ns quickly as possible? No, on the
contrary, sack bags has to be read
slowly, and repeated, before It is thor
oughly grasped and Impressed on the
mind, and so it is with music. It is
well to remember the old axiom. "Slow
practice is golden, quick practice 1?

LIGHT ON DOMESTIC FINANCE
According to Writer, Wife's Instinct
Would Tend to Make Her an
Ideal Loan Shark.
Speaking of loan sharks wouldn't
wife make a good one? When poor
pa ls forced to borrow some of "her
money" with which to pay the gas bill,
she wants at least 5 cents interest on
ench dollar, and besides she requires
a solemn oath that he will pay the
prlncipnl and Interest Saturday, Claude
Callan writes in the Fort Worth Stur
Telegram. When she finally agrees to
let him have the sum, she orders him
to leave the room while she gets it.
She counts the money before she call
him back Into the room, but to be dou
bly sure she counts It again ns she
hands it over to him, and she ls a lit
tle short. It was an honest mistake, of
course, but she never makes the honest
mistake of getting a little too much.
Before placing it in his hand she has
another understanding about the inter
est, and mukes him once more declare
upon outh that he will return the mon
ey on pay day. Then she bunds it to
him, und as she hands over "net
money," you can tell by her looks, by
her action and by What she says that
she fe,els as If she poor little woniun
that she is is supporting the family.

How Town Was Named.
An Interesting story is told as to the
origin of the name "Moose Jaw," as ap
plied to a town in Canada. Some 50
years ago, so the story runs, a pioneer
with his team of oxen and "prairie
schooner," while passlug along the
banks of the river, was obliged to
camp at this point in Saskatchewan
on account of an accident to his cart.
A spoke had fullen out during the
day, and the wheel was falling apart.
He looked about for something to in
sert for a temporary brace for the
wheel, while his wife busied herself
with the evening meal.
The pioneer's chlW, while romping
around, found the Jawbone of a moose,
which she held up to her father, who
by this time almost despaired of find
ing anything with which to repair his
cart. He was delighted to find that the
Jawbone exactly fitted the place of the
missing spoke. The Indians thereafter
named this district "The Place Where
the White Man Fo::nd the Moose Jaw."
This, li is said, accounts for the town's
queer name. Washington Star.
Cracks In Platter.
When we painted our kitchen, we
found a number of cracks in the
plastering that had to be filled. A
paluter told us to use plaster of
paris mixed with some of the paint
we were using. It does not set as
quickly as when mixed with water,
and It does better than putty for such
work. For mending the cracks In n
white ceiling, where the heat had
caused the white coating to peel off,
we mixed the plaster of parts with
turpentine and oil, and were sur
prised to find how well It covered tho
unsightly places. Exchange.
"Over the Top"
With That New . Building
The logical time to go "over the top" is when
everything is in your favor. Therefore it's time to
BUILD NOW and, of course, you'll BUILD OP
WOOD. You've never had such an opportunity as
you have now to buy Lumber at "rock bottom"
prices you may never again have tho chance to
make your crops buy TWICE as much lumber as
they did before.
The same amount of grain that built a modest
cottage in 1914 will buy a cozy bungalow this year.
The same nutubor of hogs that built a small, inade
quate bam in 1914 will give you a really practiced
building now. Tho same number of cattle you sold
in 1914 to buy that implement shed will now bring
you an implement shed, a poultry house, and a gar
age ! Why !
Because Lumber has not advanced in price in
anywhere near the same proportion as other com
modities other than wood building materials in
cluded. Get "over tho top" with your buildings when
everything is in your favor.
