THE DEVILS BEST FRIEND.

The devil doesn't waste any time
with the man who is openly mean.
The man who gets drunk in broad
daylight. swears and cuts up general
ly in public does the lewis cause an
injury. He may get to hell himself,
but he is an illustrated temperance
lecture, and by his Illustration of the
various effects of booze keeps many
from drinking to excess. The real ag
ent the devil employs, and the one
who o the most effective service
for him, is the sanctiied h~ypocrite,
the man who attends church regular
ly, prays in public, boozes in private,
is extremely religious on Sunday and
short changes you on Monday; who
must not be seen talking to common
sinners in public for fear of injuring
his standing" in the community. but
holds Darkroom sessions with them
and formulates plans TO make money
and escape the tolls of the law. The
goody-goody hypocrite who maintains
a standing in h church and socf-
ETY. is the devils hest workman
Maverick.

said the talking machine man, for
elderly people to come here. have
records made. and take these records
on with them to the safe deposit
vaults. to be given to their children
after death.
1T is pathetic to hear a man of
middle age saying into a phonograph
the speech that he wants his children
to remember him by. Sometimes he
has the speech all written out. and
reads 1t on. Sometimes he has a few
notes. . few headings. on . card. and
elaborates his speech from these. The

Nor is the test confined To size.
Berries of a given size all roll down

their paths separate. The sound ones,
with a strong rebound. jump over the
bar into the bin. but the soft. wormy
ones have no such resillience. and fall

With careful wedding and watering.
an acre will yield more than 100 bar
rels of cranberries. and It has been
calculated that in eight years an acre
ought to pay back in full the entire
cost. leaving all that follows as clear
profit.
The earliest cranberries come from
Cape Cod. There picking begins early
in September and lasts TIL severe frost
sets in. In the middle states and the
west the crop is not so early.
Michigan. Wisconsin. Minnesota and
Iowa are cranberry states. but the
west Is not able to produce all the
cranberries IL needs. The western upt-
put and a large percentage OF the east
ern growth are required to dispense
the proper Thanksgiving cheer.
One city alone, New York. uses 30o.-
ooo bushels Of eranberries every year.
For these the producer averages .

The scoop looks like . rake. with
a box attached. and Is made Of hick-
ory. 1t has long teeth. and the op-
orator pushes 1t along through the
vines. having It carefully adjusted SO
that 1t does not tear the vines or miss
any of the berries. AS the scoop picks
the berries from the stems 1t empties
them into box. and the method is 80
quick that one man can pick 25 times
as many berries in a day as was pos
sible under the old hand system.
Machinery also helps when the time
comes to take the berries indoors, re-
move the leafy waste. and grade them
according to size and quality.
There are to each bog several con-
venient buildings. SO placed as to re-
duce to a minimum the need of carry
ing the crop from place to place.

stems are mostly caught y the -creen.

on a long table having \ succession
Of slots and grooves under the strong
pieces. The grooves are opene.s all
their length at the oottom. the space
between their sides widening by de-
grees, making four changes. The ber-
ries dropped on the table roll prompt
