also the introduction Of plants onto
great areas Of country now thought to
be unfit for farming.
Encroachment Is constantly being
made upon the waste places of the
land; the semi-desert and the low
places, by the Introduction of crops
which, through long years and centu-
rics of acclimatization in similar
regions Of the Old World, have become
either drouth or water resistant.
A striking example of this sort of
work, which has already proven Il high
success, is the introduction of the maca-
roni wheat plant, or, as it is more
properly called, durum wheat.
To Establish Macaroni Factories.

whole combination of Northwestern
miIIcrs, who said that the wheat was
poor, made only inferior flour and
would not make edible bread. But the
farmers had the Department of Agri-
culture back Of them, and Mr. Wilson
mad his own conviction about durum
wheat and Northwestern mllcrs, and.
moreover, he had the courage to back
them up. The trouble with the mllrrS
was that with the milling apparatus
which they used for grinding ordinary

harder durum, and so they forced the
price of wheat down in the market and
to have Secretary Wilson
removed unless he stopped advising
farmers to grow durum wheat. The
Secretary, it seems. held his job, and

Connecticut Man Thought 1t an Easy
Matter to Travel PennileSs from
New York to Torrington Now
Realizes His Mistake.
A prosperous Connecticut man has
made what he believes to be fair test
of the charity of the world, and has
found it wanting. More, he has lost
faith in his friends and is absolutely
convinced that clothes do make the
man. 10 matter what schools may teach
or teachers preach.
William \. Gleason is his name. lie
was delegate to the National Temper
ance Convention at WilkesBarre Pa.
and stopping over in New York on his
way home, he decided to play hobo
for the remainder of the journey, ana
started out without money and dressed
like a tramp.
He Had Theories.
lie argued that the world is charit-
able. He believed that car conductors
would take pity on his plight and give
him lifts; that farmers would allow
the homeless one to sleep in their barns.
and that kind-hearted housewives
would feed the hungry after the man
ner of the Good Samaritan. Now he
knows better
The first conductor he told his hard
luck tale to would have thrown him
off the car if he hadn't jumped. The
first night out he was turned down"
by half q dozen farmers and slept
hungry next to fence. Housewives
called to their dogs when he ap-.
preached, and one woman-charitable
soul-made him saw wood for two
hours for one meal.
Friends as Bad as the Rest.
Matters got so bad at last that
Gleason went out of his way to visit
some of his friends who had boosted
of their charity. He was sure of a
warm welcome, even though they
wouldn't recognize him. He found his
friends were no more charitable than
the rest of the world, and without ex-
ception he got from them the cold
and not cold pork shoulder
either.
A postmistress scowled at him when
he wrote three postal cards in the post
office. because he was disreputable
looking.
Even the Dog Misunderstood.
Even dog that he met troubled his
soul ana made him waste half an hour
his trousers. In all his jour
ney he met but one person who was
kind to him. and this was Il waitress
in a cheap Bridgeport restaurant, who
read him a lecture on the error of his
ways.
Mr.. Gleason says he is glad he made
the trip, but he doesn't want to try
it again. The charity of the world, he
has found, is not what it is cracked

The surest way for man to get good
salary is for him to make himself valuable
Indispensable if possible. The world pays
for what a man does-not for what he might
do-not for undeveloped talents-not for DOR
mant abilities.
The International Correspondence Schools
have done more to increase the earning power
of the young men of America than any other
influence that this country has ever known.
They have done this by giving young people
an opportunity to gain the necessary techni-
cal education in occupations for which they
have natural aptitude; they put their students
on the road to success because they make
them what the world calls for-trained spec
ialists-not jacks-of- ll-trades.
These schools, through their system of
instruction by mail, offer a way by which
every ambitious man may qualify, in his
spare time, for promotion a more profitable
occupation, or to commence work at a better
salary than if he started without training.
These courses are inexpensive, costing from
$40 up with all textbooks furnished. Read
over the list of courses given in the coupon

tastes, then fill in, cut out, and mail to us
