women at the Worlds fair She was for
some years government inspector of Irish
laces, which had lost much of their pres
tige. This she has persistently and judi
ciously striven to re-eStablish, believing
that by this means the women of Ireland
may be materially benefited
Mrs. Power Labor has been a prominent
figure in relief movements for nearly half
a century Her first great work was done
during the fearful famine of 1917. in the
County Tipperary Thousands of persons
would have starved then had not she and
her mother come promptly to the rescue
However it was not until 1850 that her re
markable genius for graphing with large
questions was called into play. Then came
another famine and she, with the co-opera
ton of Il great American newspaper, raised
a fund of $50, 900. by which the children of
the national schools of Ireland were sup
piled with food This amount was of
course largely supplemented 10y direct con

Two years later the Emerald Isle was
again visited by famine After this Mrs.
Power Labor persuaded the British gov
eminent to distribute seed potatoes to the
destitute farmers, and there has been no
famine since. Her latest work has been in
behalf of the gentlewomen of Ireland
whom the land agitation reduced to pow

suitable employment furnished them, while

COST OF GROWING WHEAT.
The American Miller Says That No Fixed
Sum Can Re Named and Tells why.

The American Miller Says That No Fixed
Sum Can he Named and Tells why.
Some of our agricultural contempt
raries are still at it discussing the Elusive
problem of the cost of growing bushel
of wheat. That the discussion is unprofit-
able is instanced by the figures given by
various wheat raisers, and the items of
cost enumerated show that no fixed
amount can be named as the cost of rails
ing bushel of wheat even in the re-
stricted bounds of one state. One farmer
III Benton county, Ind, gives seventy
two cents per bushel us the cost figured
from his account book, with every detail.
ltemized. Another farmer gives his ex-
perience, showing that 66sa cents is
fair cost price of producing bushel of
wheat and getting it to the station. An
other farmer in the same state puts the
cost at forty cents, and he figures five
dollars per acre rent as part of the eX
pense, while the man who itemized the
cost at seventytwo cents included only
three dollars per acre as rent. Still an
other Indiana farmer gives the result on
three fields of five, fourteen and twenty
acres rs costing, respectively, twenty
eight. fortynine and tifty-four cents.
Still another gives 81 cents as fair
cost Of raising wheat in his part of the
state
The point that strikes reader of the
various estimates which are given by the
practical men as to the cost of farming
operations is their wide diversity. If one
man can raise wheat for 81 3 cents per
bushel the farmer who spends seventy
two cents is woefully extravagant or ex-
travagantly wrong. But another thing
to be noted is that some figure on basis
that would surprise most business men.
They include the rent of the land which
they own. pay themselves wages for their
work and include this Us part of the cost.
Five dollars rent on ground worth, say
fifty dollars per acre, is 10 per cent. This
Is not depreciation, as might be argued
III case of IL factory or mill, but rent. The
whole question sinmered down seems to
be whether IA man can rent land at 10 per
cent. hIrp all the work done, raise wheat
and make money. Probably not; at least
in states where land is valuable. But it
makes IA difference what the yield is
made by good farming or chances to be
by the happening of IA good year Certain
it is that no man can name a cost at
which his neighbor can produce wheat
The figures already given show that one
man figures out comfortable profit
where another scores a loss to the pro-
ducer.

A STRANGE DREAM.
a AcesnsacsA. raAvn.sa,s sreaY


Indianapolis Nescs.
Several years ago | was travelling
in the State of Wisconsin, in the
interests of a Southern tobacco fac
tory. At that time the numbering
industry Of Central Wisconsin was
in its infancy, and the now pros
porous inland cities, with their i'm
mense lumber mills, were mere vii
lagos of lumbermen and loggers.
Travelling men were correspond
ingly scarce. We grew lonesome
and suffered many hardships of
which the travellers of to-day know
but little. Consequently l was
glad to meet so pleasant a COM
anion as John Sturtevant, Like
myself, he represented a tobac-
CO firm, but our "brands'' were
of an entirely different kind ;
hence, we were not competitors, and
visited the trade from town to town
together.
One pleasant summer night, a
few weeks after our first meeting,
invited him into my room Gust
across the hall from his in the lit
tie frame hoteD. He accepted my
invitation. We brought forth our
pipes, filled them from our different
"brands," lit them and jokingly
expatiated upon the qualities and
merits possessed by each. Thus
we chatted pleasantly of our sales
and failures to sell, our plans for
the coming week, etc., until at last
our conversation turned upon some
remark which / cannot recall, but
in the same manner that thousands
of conversations have turned be-
fore into the supernatural-dreams
especially.
He then related to me the follow.
ing story, which l give in his own
language as accurately as my mem
ory serves me, and l am positive
that l have forgotten no incident
Il
connected with it. Knight further
add tat have no reason ;nsatxe,
to doubt in the least its absolute
truthfulness.
Laying his pipe on the table near
by he began thus:
'1 cannot say, even after the ex.
perience / am about to relate, that
| place much credence in dreams,
this one being the only one l have
ever been able to trace to anything
like tangibility. l am sure thct
am no more superstitious than the
average of men, and have always
chosen to attribute the fulfillment
of any dream to chance or coinci-
dence rather than to any other
cause.
Fourteen years ago last winter

ton which now fill, excepting the
fact that / am now directing the
movements of a few men. You
viii know, of course, that at that
time l was young man-to be ac-
curate, % years of age. At the
time of which l speak l was on my
maiden trip, and, as though to in
ure me to the trials and hardships
of travellers life, the house had
kept me out almost a year without

ents resided, and which, for the

DOES 1T PAY To BORROW or A
BUILDING ASSOCIATION.

1t is the purpose of every honest
person who borrows money to re-
pay it with interest. As is also
true that it is wisdom to get rid of
a debt as soon as it can be paid of.
Wage earners and those who get
a stipulated salary know just about
how much their annual income will
be. all things being equal.
After money is earned, the next
important question is to save it and
apply it to a wise purpose.
Observation teaches and expert
ence confirms the fact that getting
money and wisely using it are diff
ferent sides of the same question.
Even a man with the getting and
keeping power of the late Cornelius
Vanderbilt declared 1t was easier to
earn money than to keep it.
After We get money, whether the
amount be little or much, the al.
lurements to spend it are legion.
When the young man is single
the demands of his associates upon
his purse are va@d. He thinks he
must keep up wifh'the boys" or
he will become unpopular, hence
his money goes for hundred things
that are positively needless and of
ten hurtful.
A man that has family has the
actual needs and the whims of that
family to satisfy and deny.
So you see that it requires as
much wisdom and courage to sue
cessfully use money as it does to
lead an army to victory. Now any
plan that will throw the most safe
guards about our money is the best
for us to adopt. 1t is an accepted
truism that "short payments make
long friends" 1t is also true that
that the best time to pay a debt is
when you hare the money, though
it may not be due for long time
to come. IL you have the money
and You pay it, you're q free man.
You have no fear of its being spent
for something else or of being
stolen.
Now, this is the need in our f.
nancial system that the Building
and Loan Association meets. 1t
gives the debtor an opportunity to
pay his Indebtedness as he gets his
money in small payments and thus
prevents any possibility of the mon
ey being misused or applied to any
thing not in harmony with wisdom
and frugality. The primary use of
money is to pay our debts. The
building and loan system make it
easy for us to apply it for that pur-
pose.
1t is therefore worthy of our pa
tronage. Any agreement between
a debtor and creditor that will en-
able the debtor to use what money
he gets to apply to the requirement
of that debt is beneficial to both !;
but more so to the debtor, because
1t brings him on nearer equality
with his creditor every payment he
makes.
Hence it pays to borrow from o
