A wise woman once removed the label "Poison" from an empty bottle and pasted it on the family ink bottle. . "Why, mother, ink ian't poisonous, and besides, no one ever things of drinking it" "I know; but, if the label leads us to give a second thought to what we write, it will serve its purpose. Ink, mydear, has often proved to be a deadly poison to the affection of rela- tives, to friendship, to love. It will kill every affectionate impulse if used indiscriminately," If it were possible to gather statis- tics on such an intimate subject, it would be found that seventy-five per cent. of the letters in the postman's bag are uninteresting, stupid, unneces- sary, and are read only once by those who receive them. The letters of sweethearts and those of children to their mother do not cense into that class; but even they are not above I criticism, for the sweethearts write too many, and the children too few, When you are away from home 1 what kind of letter pleases you most? s Here is one received by a woman t many miles from her kinsfolk and set aside as the one letter received in six months that did the most to make her heart glad: Dearest Big Sister, We miss you very much. This morning I wore my blue and white gingham to school, and. the teacher admired it. We had waf- fles for breakfast, Mrs. Sparks' tiger lilies are in blooms. Oh, what do you think? You could never guess. Min- nie's gray cat has six kittens, and Min- b pie'smother says I can have every one of them. Won't that be just grand? rn Last night when we had lemon pie Father said you ought to be here be- t cause it is your favorite kind. He has s a new hat. Mother is in the dining a room mending a hole Uncle Jim burn- ed in the table cloth with his cigar. r Mother didn't say anything. I guess is she wasn't glad about it. Auntie Green comes to wash to -morrow. Mother says S can put my doll clothes in. The new family across the street has a girl my age, and a baby. Mother says maybe they will let me take turns in wheeling the baby. The baby buggy is light blue. I think I shall be busy with my kittens. I haven't told mother m about them yet. She seems too upset to about the table cloth. It was her best. a The one with the poppy pattern. I have on ny blue hair ribbon. Father wl says I look like a butterfly. The kit- tens' eyes are shut, With love and a w big kiss.—Alice. so There were letters from other mem- tr hers of the family. An older sister to told of a party to which she had not en been invited and the letter was in the th nature of a wail; mother's letter, yothough dear, was devoted to su tions to the recipient for safeguar her health. Father's letter homily on the need of saving money; brother wrote three lines, of them about a new baseball Only one letter contained the that her homesick heart longed and that was written by a child of Guileless, sincere, loving, newsy was an ideal letter. "I laughed over it, and I cried it. I read it when I was depres and I read it when I was happy, cause of the steadying influence it on me. I really felt that I could. do anything that was not generous kind, because of the influence of letter. It visualized home." In writing a letter put yoursel the position of the person who read it. If you are writing to who is resentful or quick -temp avoid jokes; never make compariso eave out all criticism of the recipi or of others who are common acqu tances. Never write, "Burn this.' s a long way to the furnace do tairs. Never write, "Don't show o So -and -So." If you must giv confidence, don't label it as "secret," "private" or "personal" Slip it in casually, as you would slip in a com- ment on the weather. Never write your troubles; the read- er may have greater ones, Do not mention your ill health; it may cause needless anxiety, and you may be bet- ter when the letter is received, Never write a criticism. You might say the amt thing with a disarming smile, ut the smile doesn't appear in the ink. If you have won a great success, only ention it when you write to your mother, If you have failed, say no- hing about it. Never seek praise or ympathy through the mails --or in ny other way. Don't write too many letters. If the ecipient—unless it be your mother— able-bodied and has had a good cation and fails to answer your first letter and your second letter, take a lesson in pride and do not write a third. If your letters are welcome, they will bring replies, When von fail to receive a letter don't blame the postman, The govern- ment is not interested in keeping your all from you.

United States is a Heavy Pur- chaser--Dernand in Cuba on hicrease. , One phase of the Canadian agricul- tural industry which the Maritime Pro- vinces have made peculiarly their own and in which they have attained tile tin ctive heights with resultant prosperity to themselves is in the pro- duction and marketing of potatoes both 101' seed and commercial pur- 00sos.

Seed Widely Exhorted. Years ago the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec . commenced to import sturdy Maritime potato seed, and of recent years the United States has come to increese auch importations, until at present many sections rely al- together upon Maritime seed for their otato crops.. Every year hundreds of ars of potato seed leaee the three rovinces for United States poinee, nd shipments have been made by ator to Texas, A year or two ago e) Growers' Aseociation, made a bid the entire Prince Edward island rop. This remarkable development as taken place in the past five years. Canada in 1923 produced 5547,000 ewt, of potatoes, of which 2,732,000 cwt. are to be accredited to Prince Ed- ward Island, 3,311,000 to Nova Scotia and 6,043,000 cwt. to New Brunswick, or 12,086,000 to the entire Maritime area. This represents about 22 per cent. of the total Canadian potato croe for the year. The amount of loss through rot, etc., was very low in these three provinces, amounting to 8 per cent. in Prince Edward Island, 6 per ntein Nova Scotia, and 13 per cent,. New Brunewick. The average acre tato production in Prince Edwere and in 1923 was 111.50 cwt.; in va Scotia 120 ewt.; and on New unswick 132.75 cwt.
