Cultivate Reading Habit.

Much has been said of the impor-’ tance of forming the right physical and moral habits early in life, but the value of the early formation of reading habits has received little attention, according to Miss Dove of the Agricultural college at Fort Collins, Colorado. The practice of daily reading should be begun while in school and should not be discontinued later on account of time. Thirty minutes a day spent in reading will keep one up with the current events and thus widen one's horlson. Thoughts may be gathered that will relieve the monotony and drudgery of the dally task. Reading not only adds to one’s daily life hut it paves the way for greater enjoyment later. It is as one grows older that the habit of reading becomes most valuable. Fortunate in-* deed is the man who as he withdraws from the more active side of life, finds a world of his own' through the open doorway of good books. It is suggested that President Wilson would be greately benefited by a complete rest for several .years. So why wouldn’t it be a good idea to make him our next Vice-Presi-dent?—-Nashville Southern Lumberman. The League of Nations may prevent other wars, but it seems to be serving to keep this one going on indefinitely.—Columbia Record. _
