HOW soon will your roads, that now take the heart and soul out. of every man and horse that uses them, be made into a con- tirfuous stretch of road that you and everyone in your county will be proud of ? How soon will you stop filling the ruts and mud holes with your road taxes, and build- roads uildroads that will permit you to put your road taxes into more good roads ? Concrete Roads cost no more to build than any other good road, and their upkeep expense is practically nothing, which makes them the cheapest kind of good roads. Concrete roads benefit the farmer, consumer, merchant, newspaper, board of trade and railroad. They make for greater prosperity generally, by increasing land values and production; bringing more trade; more industries; more employment; greater traffic. They decrease the cost of marketing. All of these factors combine to decrease the cost of living. Every citizen owes it to himself to investigate the advantages of concrete roads and learn how they will directly benefit him.

Respect for parents goes hand -in - Text; "When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a battle- ment for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thine house, If any man fall from thence,"--Deut, 22;8. A new house is being built! The man bought the lot three years ago, just after his marriage, and he has been making weekly visits to it ever since. He has been seen stepping it off, marking the boundaries of the prospective house, planting a tree, grading a lawn. His wife and he have been drawing pltns end debating the (size of parlor and dining room, She Inas been insisting on having enough closets. Now the house is going up. It might be said that it is being built by saying "No." You might stamp "No" on every brick. Every dollar going .into that home has meant a refusal. Did there arise a suggestion to indulge appetite, to buy luxuries, to go to high-priced amusements, to take expensive vacations? "Nb, we must save our money for the house." Now the house is going up. The ^roof will on by Saturday. The plas- terers will soon be busy. The plum- bers and the painters will soon do .their work. Ah, there is a thrill in the phrase, "when thou bulkiest a new house." There is a bit of sociology in it too. These Jews were just enteriiag Canaan. • This was a law for a hew. nation. The first thing to do was to build homes. A temple and a palace would come in due time, but homes cisme first. Happy homes make great nations. If only Prance had had more kings like Henry IV! Ile gave the kingdom prosperity by looking after aIle condition of the common people. Asked what was his greatest wish for France, he replied: "That every peas- ant might have a chicken in the pot every Suhday," Wise king! How un- like the hapless days just before the revolution, when Queen Marie An- toinette, oit being told that the people were crying for bread, asked, "If they have no bread, why don't they eat cake?" Homes will make. Canada great. I do not rejoice so much in the build - ling of another great hostelry or an- other immense apartment house. Many married folks are in hotels who ought to be in homes. Hotels are poor places in which to bring up children. And not to want to have babies is a crime against God and against Canada. Divorces come out of hotels and apartment houses. But the snug little homes that are going up will make Toronto great. The sod houses of Alberta will make Canada great. I bade good-bye to two young giants who were going up to Saskat- chewan with their widowed mother last month. A sod house, twelve by fourteen, with one door and two win- dows, is to be their home. • All right. Hang up the motto, "God. Bless Our Home." The wheat fields will soon be bringing them enough to build a little palace. ¥VIeaniwhile, that mud house is a frontier headquarters of civilization and Christian. culture, A new house ought to mean a new start. It is a time to take stock, &. time to improve manners, to leave bad habits behind, and set up a new standard of conduct. "Wife, I promise never to come into this house stagger Ir.,;!" That was the vow of a man who had disgraced his family in the eyes of the community. They moved, to another part of the city to start afresh. He has been as good as hie word:, 'Husband, in our new home I will never be petulant and fretful." The wife, also, has been as good as 'her word. Their moving day has been e blessing: "Then shalt thou make ,a battle. ment for thy roof." This Mosaic law' .is a wonder. It goes into the most minute details. It has the definite- ness of a Twentieth -Century list of ;pity by -lawn. What to do when you! Ifind a bird's nest is important enough for two verses, They had to build a railing, a parapet, about the edges of 'their flat roofs. As they spent much time on top of their houses, the rail. ling was important as a prooaution, 'against accident. Da you see that little gate at the entrance of yon iverandah? That means that there hi la little toddler in the home, just able Ito venture out on all fours. The gate Iis to fence him in. Somebody said, 1"Better a wall on the top of the prod. pace than an ambulance at the bots 1 tom. " Fut up your railings, then, in the piew home, for there is danger. Some. body may fall overboard.

I mean by that, re - loped for authority, submission to God, to parents, to coutry', Children have rights. Somewhere I saw a sermon on "Children' Rights." It went on to say that we have been `talking enough about "Woman's Rights," the rights of labor;' "The rights of corpora. tions," but iso one has mentioned children's rights. It proceeded to say that children have a right to healthy birth, to early correction, to necessary punishment, to fresh air, to good books, to ealutary surroundings. What a 'wise preacher was he who preached that sermon. Children have a 'right to be taught that God sees and pro' tecta and rewards. Teach theca n kp ayer and a hymn of praise, Have hand with reverence to the Heavenly' Father. "What have I done to have such a rebellious son?" lamented a mother when her twelve -year-old lad ignored her commands and left the room, giving the door a slam as a parting challenge, Well, I could have told her what she had not done. She had not impressed Charlie, earlier in his childhood, that her will was law. When she said, "Now, Charlie, stop that noise, please," and Charlie con. tinued the irritation, she did not take decisive steps to impress upon the young lord that one telling was suf. flcient. Instead she repeated and re- peated her feeble plea, finally capitu-, Gating before his sovereign will. All this because she had made a foolish resolution never to chastise her child- ren. Charlie knew of the resolution, and took advantage of it. Therefore, he did not honor his mother, and the keystone fell out of the arch of home authority and home happiness. Your will, parent, must be law! But your will must be good will. It must not be whimsical. When the child knows that your refusals are for his good, he will respect your authority, How glorious it is when children honor their parents. I was called upon to go to a hospital and pray with a young man who was dying. He had fallen down eu elevator shaft and had broken his back. He knew he was dying. "Say, parson, I'm a -goner," he said, in leis crude vocabu- lary. "an' you'll git the job of put- ting me under ground. Don't waste many words on me, but tell 'em about My mudder. She brought up us four boys. She went out washin' to git our grub. Say a good word for her," It turned out that be had been a hero, taking care of his mother and younger brothers. When she entered the roost. the scene was one that made even the stout-hearted policeman, who had some in to enquire after the lad, break into tears, The lad was so tender, even' in his dying gasps. "Dinnis," he fal- tered, reachingout for his brother's hand, "I'll give ye me watch if ye'll take care of mudder. Is it a go?" Dennis promised, and the loyal son died in peace. Put up Honesty on the. east side. Some folks think they have taught their children to be honest when they really haven't. They have simply told them not to steal. And stealing they define, by inference, to mean leaving cash drawers untouched, Tho conductor went through the street car to collect fares. He didn't notice the woman and her - child who had just entered, and he didn't put out the box to receive the tickets she held ilt her hand. When he had disappeared, the woman quietly put back the fares into her hand -bag. The little girl snuggled up close to whisper: "Mother, you didn't have to pay, did you?" That was all. At least it was all that any of the passengers noticed. But tho child emerged from the car with an unconscious dishonesty, probably for life, handed her by her dishonest mother. If in ten. years that daughter should be arrested for shoplifting, her mother would probably lament over her ill -rewarded efforts to teach iter children to be honest. With honesty must go unselfishness. Better far to have your children err on .the side .of liberality than to allow them to be grasping and =reciprocat- ing. From a verandah a young father and mother were watching their little boy marching across the lawn ill the glory of his first pair of trousers. He took an occasional nibble from a plate of sliced oranges which he had placed on a little table. The tiny maiden of two summers, living next door, tame toddling over just as he was helping himself to .another mouthful. Do you guppose he offered her a slice? On the contrary, he stood guard over his pThe parents looked oil without the roperty, munching hard all the time. ,least thought of correcting his fault. Finally, when the little girl made a 'faint effort to help herself, he seized the plate and carried it to hie mother who held it while her young glutton �towed away the remaining pieces. %Iow, that boy will develop a selfish - tees which will be a terrible handl- p to his whole career.

Don't for tho sake of your whole life, start by marrying n a whiskey bottle with a young fellow w tied to it, That is my temperance sermon, Put Love on the west side, the sun- set side. Get love in your own soul, man of the. new home, and it will be- get love. Cultivate the soft tones, "Be gentle and keep your voice low." Be sympathetic, and don't ,scold. Teach the ehildreh to love something outside of their own selves. To love self eats out the soul. I bought a galvanic battery, one of those electric cure-alls that you imgagine will ,'.o away with doctor and drug bills for- ever. orever. Among the directions was, the caution: "Never put the two handles of the battery together, for that makes a short circuit and consumes the power." That is what self-love does, When a man is consumed with selfish- ness he creates a short circuit, Your love must pass through something out- side of yourself. Then it will come back to you a hundredfold. To get the children to love a cat or a dog 1s a gain. To teach t' em to love men is all-important. To curb their criticisms of people, to put the best construction on the acts of others, to see the good in men and ignore the evil, to alwell on noble qualities and watch for them, all this is to give your children an inheritance far be- yond and above estates of land and bank deposits. Love is always responsive, It Is always returned, If a man that is half -way decent, and not too soft, tells a woman, "I love you," and she has not already been told that name thing by some other good man, she will usually return it. And If you will let the neighbors know that you are a lover of folks, they will usually return your love with their love. "We love Him because He first loved us," 0 mother, 0 father, the text gives us a fine assurance. Put up the bat. tlements, and no blood shall be upon your house. You have taken the pre- cautions, and your old age will be free from regret. The children will have answered your prayers. And when they are all about you, 1n your heavenly home, there will be no need of parapets! Kipling's Clarion Note; What Answer From The North?

The many uses to which this crop may be put merit a careful study of the Gest methods of establishing a stand of crimson clover upon a farm. Crimson clover is frequently called "scarlet clover" and, somewhat less commonly, "German clover; "Italian clover," "French clover," "incarnate clover," "annual clover," etc. Crimson clover cannot ordinarily sur- vive the severe winters of the mirth. ern states. In the northern sections where a fall seeded legume is desired it is suggested that hairy vetch seeded with rye be used instead. Crimson clover is a "winter annual" —that is, it ordinarily makes its early growth in the autumn, passes the win- ter in a somewhat dormant but green state, makes a very early spring growth and matures its seed and dies before summer. It makes little or no growth in very hot weather and there- fore should not be sown in the spring, except in the extreme north, where it may make a satisfactory growth by autumn, so that a bay crop may be taken from it at that time.

There are a few plain, undeniable facts that, if known and believed would soon change some of our social customs and remove many of the evils that afflict humanity. Unfortunately these facts have not been long known and are of euch a startling character that many refuse to believe them, and yet the evidence will convince any onewho takes the trouble to look into the matter. The first fact is that the Govern- ments of several Countries appointed Commissions of eminent men to in- vestigate and report on the evils fol- lowing the nee of alcoholic beverages. That fact alone should arrest atten- tibt, because the evil must be very great when any Government ventures to touch it. The reports of all these Commissions are so alarming that it is a• wonder that any but the most ignor- ant would use it in any quantity or in any form, except as a medicine, These reports put It beyond 'question that "Alcoholic drinks, when used frequently, even though never to the extent of drunkeneee, will cause chron- ic poisoning" in the individual ; and that, worse still, it will cause degener acy in the children of such parents. The consequence is that a large num • bel of the children die in infancy and of those that survive many become consumptives, epileptics,. insane or criminate, Only a small number tura; out really good citizens. That seems, almost too terrible to believe but the Governments of Eng- land, France and Germany are eo con. vinced of its, correctness that they publish it as, a warning tp, the people" 'Indeed the experience of any thought.'# ful person confirms it. How often we see;many of the children of healthy, vigorous parents die young, or grow up delicate weaklings without any ex. planation other than that their par. sots were habitual though probably not excessive drinkers. How rarely , the children of such parents equal their parents in either mental or bods. ly vigor. The report of a German Oommission. closed by saying that, ""if the beer drinking habits of the people are not changed, in a few years there will not be Germans capable of defending the fetheriaud." Au American report nutd that "if the alcuhol problem is not ..shied in ten years, son verde race writ write the epitaph of the Republic."
