Farmer Abner Benson Astonished
Church Gathering.

This story has been told times
enough to be true, and presume 1t is.
Several years ago there lived at North
Paris, Me-, prosperous farmer by the
name of Abner Benson, who was a
good Methodist, and also a member of
the grange. The grange meetings
were held in the church as well as the
religious meetings, and this fact was
the cause of the following contre-
temps:
Abner was a red faced, portly man
OF rather pompous appearance. The
four words, "he knew it ALL" might
have described him very well. One
afternoon as he was riding past the
church he noticed that meeting was
being held there, and, not knowing
that any church meeting had been
called. he at once took 1t for granted
that 1t must be grange meeting.
He hitched his horse, went into the
entry and knocked on the door. after
the fashion Of the grangers and, as it
happened. the doorkeeper of the
grange was there, and on hearing a
knocking. got up and opened the door,
whereupon Abner stepped in, and with
a pompous bow and flourish, gave, in a
voice loud enough to reach every ear
In the church, the grange password,
"Cul-ti-va-tor!" "Cul-ti-va-tor! You

WHY DO AMERICANS SUCCEEDED

why do we lead all the nations of
the earth in prosperity, happiness and
Individual contentment?
Why are we, Gs people. regarded as
an invincible power of impregnable
strength
And why do we compel the admira-
ton of the whole world-at times
grudgingly given, but given. anyhow
1t Is because we are free and indie
cndent In the truest meaning of the
t.ords.
We think -or ourselves. act for our
selves. govern ourselves more than the
people of any other nation
We are absolutely self-reliant. a na-
tional trait that renders us independ-
ent OF all other nations. Independence
Is the Keynote of our supremacy.
And this lis the reason why up-to-
date grocers and Etprakeepers appreci-
ate the fact that Americans of both
sexes have strong wills of their own,
and do not need interested advice.
Every up-to-date grocer knows per-
fectly well that for more than quar-
ter of century Lion Coffee has been
the leading package coffee and q well
come drink at the tables of millions of
American homes.
He knows--and everybody else knows
that 1t has always kept its old
friends and rteadily made new ones.
Good, reliable, trustworthy grocers
willingly acknowledge this. and all In
dependent housekeepers will insist up-
on having Lion Coffee and no other no
matter what kind of an argument gro-
GERS If obstinate principles may al.
vance.
Americans wait the best. and they
get tie best and purest in Lion Coffee.

AIDS NATURES WORK
EFFECT or ACETYLENE RAYS ON
GROWTH OF PLANTS.
Grow to Twice Actual Weight Of
Those Exposed to Sunlight Only
Latest Victory for This New and
Beautiful illumin1nt-

The experiments recently made at
Cornell University prove that the
beautiful rays from the gas, acetylene,
are as effective as sunlight on the
growth of plants. and this may soon
become q subject for serious consider
alton by all progressive cultivators Of
the soil.
The results OF the experiments are
astonishing, inasmuch as they show
conclusively the great increase of
growth attained by experimenting
1.-THE Light of Nature" with "The
Light of Acetylene" during the hours
In which the plants would otherwise be
in darkness. For instance, certain
number of radish plants subjected to
acetylene light during the night, grew
to twice the actual weight of the same
number of radishes given daylight
only. all other conditions being equal,
and peas had blossomed and partially
matured pods with the help Of acety-
lene light. while without the added
light not even buds were apparent.
Acetylene is already taking It's
PLACE as an illuminant for towns from
a central plant. for lighting houses,
churches, schools and isolated build
ings of all kinds, and it is being used
successfully for many other purposes
A striking and important feature Of
acetylene is the ease and small ex-
pense with which it can be made
available compared with the great ad-
vantages derived from its use. The
machine in which the gas is gener-
ated is easily installed.
