".During the Christmas dinner a young Frenchman was seated next to a fine-looking young woman who was wearing a gown 'which displayed her beajutiful arms. "I came near not being here tonight," said she. "I was vaccinated a few days ago and it gives mo considerable annoyance.' "The young foreigner gazed at the white arms of the speaker. 'Is that so?' . he replied. 'Where were you vaccinated? "The girl smiled demurely and said: In Boston.' " Mercy!

MAIL YOUR PACKAGES.
With the start today of the parcel post in this country comes a period of experiment for the government and the hour of trial for post office clerks until the system has adjusted itself. You can mail almost anything to any point provided it does not weigh more than eleven pounds.
Ordinary stamps must not be used. A special red stamp ranging in price from once cent to $1 has been provided. You cannot register these parcels, but for ten cents may insure them up to $50. Special delivery stamps will not avail unless full postal rates are paid. Packages must be dropped in street package boxes, given to the carriers on rural or star delivery routes or de
posited at main post offices or
branches designated , by letters
Branch offices designated by numbers
will not receive them.
Of course, just at this season there
are some packages a lot of persons
would like to get rid of in any way But that's another story.

It would be interesting to know
how many of our rural brethren take
advantage of the excellent informa

Agriculture at Washington, or to
similar departments in various unl

versity of Wisconsin.
A cursory inspection of farming
methods in Lake County shows that
too much of the work is carried on In
a haphazard, hit-or-miss fashion. The average Lake County farmer is
prosperous, but there is many a tiller
of the soil, who is more or less suc
cessful despite his slipshod method
This may, be attributed more to his
natural resources than to his brains.
He is short changing himself every
season.
. Intensive and scientific farming in
Lake County is still in its infancy. A
few there are who are blazing the way, and it is refreshing to talk to one of these. Instead of being empiricists who are guided solely by their own limited experiments, they quote with definiteness the findings of experts. They have long ago come
to the conclusion that there is after all something worth while in books
and government bulletins.
The most vital lesson that the fu
ture average farmer of Lake County
will have to learn, and learn apace
with the rapid development in the
north end, is that he is farming too
much lahd.
Scientific management, which is now the watch word in every line of
endeavor, will solve the problem of
bigger returns on smaller acreage and
experts are willing to instruct.
REASONABLE EUGENICS. The Chicago Record-Herald says: "Inclination and love in marriage, according to all biologists, from Charles Darwin down, do more for race improvement than all the laws for scientific mating imaginable could ever hope, to do. It is proverbial that love matches mean healthy and attractive offspring. Cupid Is nature's regulator and censor. "True, love Is blind and sometimes Impetuous. But would bureaucratic regulators of marriage make no mistakes? They would make more and worse mistakes than Dame Nature, and that Is a truth rational eugenists always bear in mind."
This is what we have always main
tained. Love and inclination wi!
beat scientific eugenics any day.

Indiana Harbor Is to have a flag

of the Pennsylvania right of way.
This is a much needed safeguard
The crossing at this point has long
been known . as "death's crossing," and the hope that equipping it with gates would adequately protect the public has failed. While the gates offer some protection, and have doubtless saved some from death and
injury, the slaughter has continued! owing to the tendency on the part of the public to "beat the gates." This penchant has led persons who have been content to wait while one train went by, to duck under the gates before they were raised, under the impression that it was only a case of the tower man being slow, and to rush blindly in front of another train coming from an opposite direction. With a flagman on the crossing it Is to be hoped that the death and in

She filled the great hall with her personal charm. She was the center and the circumference of the spirit of love which animated that splendid function. And so far-reaching was her gentle personality that as the guests departed as the hours grew small, they came one and all with a true sense of
