Where students are taught to work

Where modern methods are told and

How boyssheuld work in farm and field
And try for the best of growth and

The way to auccess is open now
To every boy who wili hold the plow
A higher calling was never found
Than to sow the seed and plough
the ground. ‘ i
Machines of many and various kinds
May fill the hands and engage the

Of men and boys who have never
known
How the land 15 tilled and plants are
grown,
Butthe boy who learns to work and plan
Will fill the sphere of a model man
Others will look to him for their bread
And by his work will they all be led.

~ And look for the best my boys can do
When they return | expect to see
~ That they have not disappointed me.

The new radio burglar alarm
mentioned by the Herald was fune
voning in an introductory way
and the investigation of the curious
came in numboers to see it perform
its duties, and it was general ac
claimed up to the Installing com-
pany guarantee, :
There is no question as to the
working of this alarm device. It
cannont be tampered with without
selting the alarm off; a wire cut,
a hole drilled, a knock, a hand clap
or a call will set it in motion and
u peai loud and long set off The
alarm at night isset off by a clock
so regulated to come on at closing
time and in the morning ot Ttime,
on the safe. The day period has
‘many ways of setting it off, and
arlillery is placed outside for ready
use. We are not inviting burgiars

will be excedingly warm.
