employ the pin method-that is, sticking
pins in so many dots and distinguishing
those which have been counted from the
others. Mathematicians employ their
knowledge Of figures scientifically and
count so many dots in a section and
work out the answer by multiplication.
Another way is to check off the dots
with red ink as they are counted. while
some make sure Of not missing single

Explanation.

8 years OF age. whose father IL very
anxious to make scholar OF him.
Jackson's tastes do not seem to run
in the same channel, and, consequent
ly, when the monthly report is sent
home, his average is usually In the
70s. with conduct marked very poor.
Finding that eounter-irritation did not
produce the desired result, his father
made game Of him In every coneeiv-
able manner. telling him that he
would never amount to anything IL he
did not do better work. His remarks
on these occasions became so often
sive to the child who was rather SEN
sitive and did not relish the idea Of
being ridiculed in the presence Of
his brother and sister, that he said to
his father the last time he brought
home a report:
Father, why do you talk to me like
this and make so much fun of meT
His father replied Jackson, II I
did not know you were capable Of do
ing better work, or IL thought you
were dumb, would never say a cross
word to you about your marks"
Last week Jackson handed In a re-
port with the usual low average. and
before pater familias could start in on
the usual language, spoke up very
quickly and said:
Father, I'm dumb!"-Boston Post.

America has long been recognized
as the granary of the word. Our
products of the farm, dairy and or
chard have so far exceeded our own
wants that we have been able to sup
ply very liberal share of the de-
mands in those lines in the marts of
the world. American wheat enters
into the food supply of every nation
civilized enough to know the uses of
bread; and American meat forms a
portion of the menu in every nation
where meat is eaten. Drought and
flood, storms and sests may ruin the
crops in Australia, India and other
grain growing countries, but the
American supply is always sufficient
to feed the wurld.

call upon the legislature of that state

little forethought resides in the Am

Iroquois theatre horror was it
thought necessary to make theatres
safe; not until the burning of the
Socum was it deemed necessary to
have steamships properly inspected,
and now not until after train load

The statement is made that a
method has been discovered by which
peat can be made into small bricks
for burning at 1921 per ton. And
they all heat except pinch of ashes.
And what is better there are vast
deposits in this and other countries.
There are deposits it is said within
fifty miles of Chicago enough to sup
ply that city with fuel for many
years. Now look out for a peat

trust.
