is thai Nature's color is green, 

 and, in every class of plant, 

 green of some shade or other 

 is the predominating color. 

 More than half the beauty of 

 flowers or colored foliage 

 would be lost if there were no 

 green to act as a foil to what 

 without it would be harsh and 

 glaring. In looking at a gar- 

 den gay with flowers in the 

 Summer-time, it is pleasant 

 after a while to rest the eye 

 on a cool stretch of grass or 

 the rustling leaves of trees. 



The colors of the flowers are 

 not dimmed, but enhanced by 

 the contrast. The eye, how- 

 ever, is rested by the change 

 from the dazzle of reds, blues, 

 pinks, etc., to the cool green 



if Xaturc. 

 A certain proportion of col- 



■ red foliage, however, is neces- 

 >ar>- in the garden, especially 

 during the Winter months, 

 when the green of Nature is 

 practically one uniformly deep 

 tint, and a certain number of 

 colored evergreens is necessary 

 to brighten the landscape. —

Practical Golden Rule 



A few readers — and only a 

 lew, we hope — laughed at us 

 when we used the above head- 

 ing on this page recently. It 

 struck them as a joke. The 

 Golden Rule, they assured us, 

 was not a practical, workable 

 guide in the everyday atifairs 

 of life. 



Yet we find that more and 

 more the world is coming to 

 see there is no hope for man 

 e.xcept in his spiritual accept- 

 ance of religion as a reality. 

 For instance, permit us to 

 quote the following from the 

 Literary Digest: 



" 'Take your Troubles to the 

 Lord — He's your Big Boss,' 

 was the counsel recently re- 

 ceived and acted upon by a 

 body of mill workers in Wheel- 

 ing, West Virginia, who w^ere 

 (ju the verge of going out on 

 strike, and in Cleveland. Ohio, 

 a dispute between Swift & 

 Company and 550 packing 

 house employees was settled 

 after the strikers and the man- 

 agement of the plant had lis- 

 tened to a homily on the love 

 of God and the necessity of 

 returning lo his teachings by 

 John J. Walsh, Conciliation 

 Commissioner of the United 

 States Department of Labor.'' 



That advice, to "Take your 

 troubles to the Lord — He's 

 your Big Boss," sounds a little flip- 

 pant, iierhaps. But isn't it a piece of 

 sound advice? It proved to be so, to the 

 labor assembly of Wheeling, which passed 

 resolutions to this effect : 



"First, Be it hereby resolved, that w^e. 

 the duly elected delegates representing all 

 of the organized crafts of the Wheeling 

 district, do hereby unanimously declare it 

 to l)e our belief that the teachings of 

 Christ constitute a platform upon which 

 all men can agree. 



"Secondly. That we believe they can be 

 applied to modern industrial problems." 



"This is the first tiinc that either capital 

 or labor has gone on record as officially 



Two ways of figuring painting costs 

 One wrong — the other right 



One figures how much a paint costs a 

 gallon. The other figures how far a 

 gallon will go, and how much it costs 

 to make it go that far. One figures on 

 the cost of the paint alone. The other 

 figures on w-hat the paint itself costs, 

 plus what it costs to do the painting. 



Figured this last w^ay, you will find 

 that Lowe Brothers Paint will go fur- 

 ther and cost less to make it go. 



To convince yourself that we are not 



making an advertising claim, rather than 

 stating an indisputable fact, send for cir- 

 cular entitled, "Figure your Painting 

 Cost with a Brush, Not a Pencil." 



At the same time, enclose 10c. in 

 stamps for the Happy Happening Book. 

 It will prove to be your paint friend, 

 counselor and guide, on anything about 

 painting and varnishing.

indorsing the teachings of Jesus Christ," 

 says the Columbus Labor Nczvs. '"On 

 such a stand labor and capital would have 

 no trouble to get together." 



And the Whccling.-News declares that 

 "the principle of doing unto others as you 

 would be done by, is a pretty good one to 

 follow, and its observance would tend to 

 remove many difficulties, industrial and 

 otherwise. " 



We hope it will not seem to any reader 

 that labor unions, corporations, and even 

 farm paper editors are out of place in 



trying to tear down the religious beliefs 

 of the world, and in the reaction a.gainsl 

 their frightful materialism the most modest 

 layman may well take a stand for his 

 faith. — Farm Life.
