Many an acre Of the most productive
land can be redeemed by SO worth of
tile drain. When we see a man, as we
often do, busy blowing some hillside
badly worn, while at the foot Of the
hill lies an undrained bog, we always
want to stop and have talk with him
and get him to seed his hillside down
and drain his bog and cultivate that

1t is the competitive strife in bust
ness which gives the world it's best
things, develops it's best and brightest
men. While competition is cruel and
merciless, ever crushing out the weak
and the incompetent, cooperation,
which is its legitimate antidote, if
generally substituted for it would soon
bead the human race toward degen-
eracy. Hard and severe though the
process may be, competitive strife is

The very richness Of western soils
has in a way been destructive Of all
principles of good farming. Men have
made living TOO easily, have not been
forced to consider how to treat the
soil SO as to insure the retention Of
its fertility, been ever tempted to work
too many acres, always rating their
standing as farmers by the number Of
acres worked rather than by the yield
of crops secured or the quality Of such
crops.

PARALYIIc PRODIGY AT WORK
Invalid at COUNTY Hospital works
with knife from Morning.
'TiIl Night.

Superintendent Mumaugh of the county
hospital brought to town Tuesday some OF
the handiwork OF a wonderful worker with
a penknife who is an inmate of the insti-
tuition. His name is Hans Anderson. who
some time ago had his neck broken and
is also parayzed from the waist down
with his head resting on his breast, An
derson sits all day and works with his
knife Using the wood from old boxes
furnished him by the superintendent, he
makes doll chairs cradles, bureaus and
similar pieces OF furniture. These are all
put together I'm really remarkable fashion
by Anderson, who sells them TO visitors
and to people in the city who are aware
Of his condition.
Anderson IL n remarkable worker" said
Superintendent Mumaugh. HE would put
to the blush many man who has the
use OF his head and all his limbs. From
early morning until evening he keeps as
busily at his work as IL his living de-
pended on his efforts. He never stops from
the time he arises in the morning until
dark. except TO get his meals and clean
up his room. He uses two crutches to get
around and does not ask any favors. He
has saved quite a little sum Of money
which he has earned and we encourage
him to keep on with his work. helping to
dispose Of his product wherever we can
The total number OF articles he turns out
Is. of course. very SMALL
Andersons furniture is all small, and
those who buy it must finish It themselves
as to painting and vanishing.
