F LIGHTNING
nam News says that it is
land the number of peo-
terrified of lightning and
s 4tu record that very few per -
'e ever been struck by i;ght-
;, ,has a matter of fact, there is
resson for terror; but it is useless
ell this to anyone who has a na-
1 aversion for nature when it is
mid.
All of which is very true. The
fatalities caused by lightning in this
year, or any year for that matter.
are a very small fraction of one per
cent. to the fatalities arising from
ogler causes.
Yet the fear of lightning persists.
Apy person will admit that the light-
ning which accompanies one of our
real thunder storms in summer is an
awe inspiring sight, but most of these
people will view or enter blithly into a
man made danger no matter how
vividly it has been flashed before their
vision times without number.
In a thunder storm people will take
every precaution they have ever heard
or read about, no matter how super-
stitious these precautions may have
proven to be, to protect themselves
and their property from the danger
of lightning. Then when the storm
has passed they hop into their car
and drive over a wet pavement at
fifty or sixty miles an hour.
No danger in that of course. Or
they will allow their children to roller
skate on the streets of a town, or
wobble over them on a bicycle, two
to a wheel Or drive on the roads at
night in a buggy without carrying a
light. They don't believe there is any
danger in dropping a few matches
around or into a separator or smok-
ing around a straw stack at an auc-
tion sale, or chasing a pig through a
barn while carrying a lighted lantern.
It is only lightning that strikes.
Would that man and man-made laws
could instill in man just a fraction of
the awe and respect that a single
:Hash of lightning commands.

country. The automobile, if proper-

people on the farms have ever ex,

Farming is a man's job at all times.
but more especially is that so at some
seasons of the year. Likewise, it is
a woman's job. No farm boy or farm
girl can spend one or two, let alone
the greater part of six nights a week
on the road without the farm and the
home too, very quickly showing the
effects of it.
The continuous repetition of actions
by a person is called a habit. A per -
;un does not acquire the habit of go-
ing to bed at a reasonable time, or
of staying out all night in a week.
But, unfortunately, some habits are
se much easier to acquire and so
Hauch harder to break than others,
and youth will find this all night life
cne of the chief of these.

bed and early to rise, makes a man
healthy, wealthy and wise" was not
true it would have been forgotten
long ago. Think it over.

THINK IT OVER
Some thoughtful humorist has said
that the key to success does not fit
the night latch, and this is a truth
spoken in jest. The young men and
young women, who get home in the
small hours night after night, may
have spent the night innocently, but
they are not fitting themselves for
responsibility and importance. Much
of the stupidity of which employers
complain, many of the blunders which
reduce the firm's profits seriously, are
due to sleeplessness.
There have been some youths in all
ages addicted to night wandering, but
never has the habit been as general
as it is in this present day. In other
days the youth who was known as a
nighthawk was a marked man. He
was not looked on with favor, scarce-
ly with tolerance. His services were
not in demand, and he did not, as a
rule, hold a job very long.
In those days, of course, it was an
easy matter to keep tab on a youth.
If he prowled about the streets of the
town every night, every one knew
about it. If he went out of town he
had to go by train or use a horse
and buggy. Everyone knew about
that too.
But the cars have changed those
'conditions. To -day a youth may, and
very often is, a more familiar figure
at a resort or on the streets of a
town fifty or a hundred miles away,
than he is on the streets of his home
town. It is so easy to slip away in
a car; so easy for three or four or
five young people to slip away in a
car. Every town that used to have
one or two noted nighthawks, now
has ten times that many, only the
fact is not so well known.
They are not all boys, either; a
large proportion are girls. In fact
very often the girls are the abettors.
The boys wouldn't go so far without
company, very willing company at
that. And no matter how innocently
the time is spent on these nightly ex-
cursions, the fact remains, it does not
pay. Youth is only cheating itself.
No young man who is in business
for himself, if he is to make a suc-
cess of it, can afford to sacrifice sleep
for pleasure. In fact, if he is made
of the right stuff he will find it hard
enough to keep business from cheat-
ing his sleep.
No young man who is an employes
can afford to lose an unreasonable
amount of sleep in pleasure, either.
If he does he is cheating his employer
and, while he may not realize what
is quite apparent to the rest of the
World, he is his own worst enemy,
because he is cheating himself. He
will always be an employee, and a
poor one at that.
And these willing young compan-
ions of the feminine gender, ' what
about them? iiiWomaa} is, perhaps,
urn's ekeatest inspiration. After a
Iotr Or '.tato of thih iiight life, just
