"Oh, only a day at a time.”
In northern Serbia many families,
wealthy before the war, have been
found by officers of the American
relief administration and tbe ¿m er-
lean Red Cross livin g in stables and
chicken coops.
Their homes had been destroyed
by the advancing or retreating
armies. Now their beds were heaps
of straw covered w ith burlap.
It
was all that remained as furniture
in their once pretentious) estates.
Penniless and w ith no clothing ex
cept what they wore these people
returned in pitable condition. Many
of the refugees made their way
across Serbia in makeshift gar
ments o f burlap bags, which had
contained American food Bent to re
lieve their hunger.
Tbe condition o f the Serbian
peasants is beyond description.
A
large proportion are homeless. Most
fam ilies have been deprived of their
wage-earners by death. The mother
is now obliged to support herself
and children on what she can pro
cure on a farm ’stripped o f Its ma
chinery and tools.

11 you think you have a fortune to
make,
Or any sort o f a h ill to climb,
Don’t try to accomplish it all at
once,
Just take It a day at a time.
I t ’s a big undertaking to train up a
child
Until It reaches its prime,
Enjoy the child, be true to your
trust,
I t ’s only a day at a time.
I t ’s a long, long road that has no
end,
So don’t you begin to repine.
Never give up, or fall, or shirk,
But take it a day at a time.

NEW SION SAYS TEST SEEDS
‘ When farmers, college profes
sors and business men desert their
work and crawl under the house to
mend frozen water pipes it is a good
sign in Western Oregon th a f every
bit of seed corn planted should be
thoroughly tested for germination,”
says G. R. Hyslop, head of farm
crops at O. A. C. * It is admitted
that this is a new natural sign, but
It indicates that such ahnormally
cold weather accompanied by the
normal moisture content o f alT seed
corn not a rtificially dried greatly
damaged the seed.
Directions for
making the test w ill be sent on re
quest, or the college seed testing

charge.
WHY MOLES ARE BLIND
The mole is blind because it lives
in tbe dark. Its case is like that of
the blind fishes which live in the
darkness of the Mammoth Cave. .
Moles have eyes.
Indeed, they
are not born blind. But a degene
ration of the optic nerve deprives
them o f sight. Their remote ances
tors doubtless could see very well.
Now and then there is an adult
mole that can see a little out o f one
eye.
The creature’s loss o f vision
is an obvious illustration of nature’s
disposition to abolish a disused func
tion.

“ Lamb It the only meat with which
mint sauce Is partaken, and England Is
the only country where the Custom Is
practiced.
The latter fact Reenis to disprove the
Idea that It originated with the Jews,
else It would have been adopted In
other countries where the race predom
inates to an-even greuter extent than
In our own. Hence, also. It could not
have originated Ol- been associated
with the “ bitter herbs” which were
eaten with the Paschal lamb.
When one-remembers what are the
vegetables usually eaten with lamb, we
get a clue to mint sauce. And It la
one that lends us to what Is probably
the true reason of Its combination with
lamb. New potatoes and green peas
are the adjuncts immemorial time has
led us to associate with the flesh of
the lamb. These, our forbears de
cided. were provocative of Indigestion,
and therefore an adjunct must he in
troduced to correct this ‘ tendency.
Mint during all ages has been asso
ciated with such an office. The Latin
poets have broken Into song regarding
Its merits, and the giver o f a feast
never thought of laying the meat on
the table until the hoards had been
scoured with this herb. So, In addi
tion to being a corrective, mint had a
reputation as an appetizer. Gerarde
says, “ The smell of mint doth stir up
the mind and the taste to a greedy
desire of nient.” — London Tlt-BIts.

The road t o ‘ success Is no

road to failure, but Ifisn
enre; we voluntarily choot™
pains of success, while the pains of
failure are thrust upon us. The pains
of success are mental and physical as
are those of failure.

the act of resisting the Impulses to en-
foy pleasures of the moment; in foro-
Ing the brain to exercise when it is
erying to quit; in doing dally mental
tasks which are just as tiring as any
physjeal labor. The man who succeeds
pays his penalty, too. He must save
when he would like to spend. He must
work when he would like to
must be up and doing when he
tike to sleep. He must take kick
not kick back. He must assume respon

burdens. He must be patient when his
nature Is to be impatient. He must
bring his appetite to reason when It
calls to be unreasonable. All of us know
men who want to succeed, Hut we know
that they cannot hecause th% will pay
