Making things not good enough may
have caused more failures.
There are positions which require
carefulness more than rapidly.
Some other positions require great
rapldlty and as great carefulness as
possible without decreasing the mo-
tons.
You would not want a wood box
made as you would want a piano

How can you follow this down until
you put your finger on a subject you
are too particular about or not giving
sufficient attention to?
Have you heard that some people
care very much about their hat and
very little about their shoes, or vice
versa?
Then a man may be satisfied with
new necktie every ten days and
never think much about hat or shoes.
Discrimination in the interest Of
wisdom, harmony and demands is a
great possession.
Can milliner make Horty-eight

That would be so difficult that very

quired. Yet it is possible for one to-
do 1t.

When l was boy my father gave
me one about six inches long, and 1t
is well charged to-day.
Many times have entertained peo.
pie by letting them try to pass the
bar between the ends without resting
their hands or elbows
Not one person in thousand can
do it the first trial, but many might
do it after a great deal Of practice.
The bar is drawn to one side or the
other, and our muscles are inexperi-
enced in resisting in that kind Of a
position.

Vacation Da VS..

Now that vacation is here what

How are you going to spend
those three months of good time?
Are you going to play and fool 1t
all away, or are YOU going to
make some good use oft? Play
is. a good thing and very neces-
sary for the health of every boy
and girl; but why not mix a lit
tie good healthy work with ev-
cry days play? Why not spend
at least a part of each day learn
ing to do something useful? Get
a job and learn a trade, even you
get but little more than the ex-
perience for your work. That
same experience will be valuable
and draw big interest some day.

vicious man. Every day boys
boys are being turned upon the
market of life. They come from
the farm, from high schools,
from colleges and from terms as
apprentices and from every walk
of life. Their value is determined
by their worth. If a horse has
good care, been properly trained
and all the best poinss brought
out in him, he will not be a drug
on the market and will sell at a
fancy price. Just so with boy,
if he grasps the opportunities
arvund him, utilities his time ii
trying to improve and better fit
himself for the struggle, he will
find that his services are in de-
mand and a good substantial
salary attached. If YOU don't

vices will be necessary to some
business.-The Tomahawk.

Some farmers are very slow to
understand the most successful
method of cultivating potatoes.
The potato plant, unlike that of
corn, will come again if covered
up. 1t starts another shoot and
seems to have been set back but
very little by covering with dirt
in the early stages of growth. A
row Of plants can be covered up
a cultivator and soon the row
will show as plainly as ever.
When this method is pursued the
weeds soon have to take a back
seat. If weeds are allowed to
start in che rows, they cannot be
removed except by hand work
which is laborious and expensive.

Electric Line Project.

Yesterday Mayor Stapleton re-
ceived word from the Bost IN peo-
ole who have been considering a
proposition of building an cleo
trio railway from Eagle River to
Merrill, there to connect with
the one to be built north from
Stevens Point, til at they would
visit Rhinelander and the other
places interested some time next
week for the purpose OF looking
over the ground and meeting the
people.
1t is a settled fact that a line
will be built by Wausau capital
south of that city to Mosinee
and North to Merrill within two
years, and Stevens Point parties
are figuring on a line for their
city that will connect.
That a valley electric line OF
standard gauge, and equipped to
handle both freight and passen-
ger business would pay there can
be no doubt and it is bound TO
come sooner or later. 1t is hoped
that the Boston people can see
their way clear to commence
work at once.-Rhinelander Her
aid.
This project has been talked OF
for some time, and all would like
to see the electric line built from
Eagle River south. AS the Her
aid says, Sit is bound to come
sooner or later" is a certain
thing. but if the road was built
now, it would help to settle up
this country faster. With the
large amount of freight which
arrives at this point daily be
sides the passenger traffic, a good
line would be a good paying in
vestment. When the Boston pro-
iectoes of the electric line visits
our city to meet with our citi-
zens to talk over the project, let
each and all, aid as much as pos
sible towards getting the line
built to our city. 1t would help
to reduce our freight rates, and
also our passenger rates along
the route of the expected electric
line. We all are interested and
we all hope to soon see the work
of construction begin.

The latest chicken joke relates
how a woman went into a groc
cry store and asked for 90 cents
worth of black hens eggs. The
grocer, of course, was surprised
that there was any way of tell
ing the difference, but told the
woman if she could do so to go
ahead. She therefore deliberat-
ely picked over the lot until she
had her number, when the groc-
er remarked: DO the black hens
lay all the largest eggs?" Eyes,
said the woman, land that's the
way you tell them" as she
marched off with her basketful of
the best. Where eggs are sold by
the pound, as they should be,
this trick can't be worked. 1t is
silly to ask as much for a dozen
small eggs as for the same num-
Der a third or a fourth as large.
In Europe all eggs are sold by
the pound.-Mining News.

ternoon. BY getting it in the
windrow in the shortest possible
time after cutting we prevent the
less of leaves-the most nutritive
part OF the hay. Where there is
plenty of help it may be advis-
able TO shock the hay and leave
it in this condition for a period
of twenty-four hours. This meth
cd will undoubtedly make the
sweetest and best quality of hay,
but on the average farm of the
central West shocking is out of
the question. Having comes in
between corn plowings, and as a
rule it must be rushen under Gov
er in the shortest possible time.
The only thing to guard
against in hay making is to
avoid the sudden drying out of
the leaves shortly after the hay
is cut, because this means that
the sap from the stems is re-
removed with great difficulty.
Bear in mind that the sap must
be conducted out through the
leaves, hence the advantage of
keeping the hay stirred with the
tedder or raking it up in win
drows as soon as possible.
Where there is no exterior
moisture, such as rain or due, it
is surprising how well hav will

Hay Making Hints.

So much depends upon the con-
dition of the weather, the amount
of hay to be cut, the character OF
the machinery at hand, etc, that
It IS a little difficult to give spec
ihc advice on the matter of hay
making that will be of particu-
lar value under all circumstances.
However, there are a few funda-
mental principles that must nee
esSarily be complied with if we
expect to store a good quality OF
hay for future use
In the first place the crop
should be cut only when it Is free
from rain or due. 1t should not
be left to bleach in the hot sun
for any considerable length OF
time. Some prefer to cut late IN
the afternoon and allow it to re-
main IN the swath until the due
IS of, next morning. This Is pos
sibly one of the quickest meth
DDS of making good hay. By the
time the dew Is off The next
morning it will be ready for the
tedder. while after dinner it may
be raked into windrows, provid-
ing the air Is reasonably dry. and
be ready to haul by the middle OF
the afternoon.
Where one has a large area it
Is sometimes necessary to begin
cutting just as soon as the due is
off IN the morning. and III this
case the tedder can be started
shortly after midday, while the
rake NAV follow later in the af-

Samuel A. Cook is all right up
on his merits. He was good
enough eight years ago for a

He was good enough four years

was good enough for a large ele-
ment of "peace-lovers" in Wiscon-

all the conservative Republicans

Governor La Toilette are too
good republicans to bolt the

cides that the ticket headed byS.
