Some people wonder why farms in
Dickinson county are selling at $50 an
acre 10 miles from town. They
should remember that after all land Is
the basis Of all our prosperity. The
nation that puts Its trust in the soil
ia the one that becomes great. Ten
wears Of uninterrupted agricultural
prosperity, which bids fair long to
continue, have demonstrated that
farming pays, even under shiftlsSS
management, while with expert man
sgement agriculture pays returns so
large as TO compare iavorably with
banking or manufacturing, and even
IL the owner does not wish to work
the land himself, 1t can usually De
rented advantageously. Besides all
this. the tremendous advance In land
values in some sections of the couu-
try bids fair to be vastly greater in
the future than in the past. Inc
area Of land is fixed and limited
population is increasing by leaps and
bounds.

pipe Filling q. a Profession.

There are few ways of earning an
honest penny more strange than that
in which an old couple in the north OF
England exc out scanty income. Their
little cottage is situated near a large
mine. and every morning the Golfers
before descending to their work leave
their pipes and tobacco boxes in the
hands of the old folk. The pipes are
cleaned and filled ready for lighting,
and the miners can come up at the
dinner hour and enjoy a good smoke
without having to expend time In
charging their pipes. They are again
left TO be in readiness for the evening
The small weekly charge per pipe
mounts into a respectable number of
shillings at the weeks end.

serious study Of the matter and thou
