cheapened manufactured products that he can no longer afford to be Jack-at-all-trades.
 But what shall he do? Work he must or die. Or if he is able to work and does not he perhaps ought to die. We'll, there is work to be done. But inventions concentrate labor. And these men, outside of some local tradesmen, which are always needed, must go to these labor centers to find that class ofemployment. And If they obtain employment there they must be able to do some one thing well. We can thus see that he who at tempts to compete with machine in the purely mechanical work must work for low wages, and that to secure better wages he must be able to do that which machine cannot do. And this leads to the thought wish to inn press. Men must possess intelligence or brain power to cope with these changing conditions.
 There is demand for skilled labor of muscle, for intelligent power of mind, and for winning power of soul, but he who has limited supply of neither must occupy the basement in the affairs of men.
 Thus we see or ought to see the need of thorough preparation. The boy or girl who allow their best years for preparation to glide by utterly wasted can not expect to be able to cope sue cessfully with men and women of the twentieth century.

 There never was time when there was so great call for men and women of education as today.
 There was time when an all-round tradesman could succeed. In those days the man who cut down the oak tree used the bark to tan his leather. The leather came from an animal of his own killing, the flesh of which he used for food.
 From this leather he made his own shoes, apron, brooches and jacket, or from wool picked by his own hand, carded by his mother, and woven into cloth by his wife and daughter.

SILVER was first coined as money a

SILVER was first coined as money at Rome, 269 years before the birth of Christ. Gold was first coined as money at the same place, 206 years be- fore Christ, 63 years after silver had been adopted as the coin of the realm. From that time the two metals have come down through the centuries, side by side, as money. Hence, it has taken the single standard men oveI 1000 years to discover that silver was not honest money. It will take them 2,000 years longer to convert the peo- pie to their view of it.-Arizona Blade.
