Not Wishing to oppose but knowing
well wherein Jones is mistaken, Smith
again changes the subject. How about
the wheat and corn you have on hand
from last year; have you sold it?'' Il
have not; wheat is not worth as much
as it was last winter and is even low
er than when l threshed. | cannot af-
ford to sell at loss so will hold it
longer There are some insects in it,
but we are re-cleaning it. Corn is
keeping WELL. but the rats are in it,
doing much damage. 1t may be, though
that the corn crop will fail this year,
and if it does | will still realize a hand
some profit. My father told me of a
time that he held his corn and almost
doubled its value. Yes, wheat and corn
are good property
Have you had a buyer for your cat

Yes" replies Smith, Il
sold them several days ago at C per

know, and being in good condition
they weighed we'll and just suited the
buyer Have you sold yOurs?" No"
replied Jones. Il still have mine. They
are not quite ready for market and are
not very good stock. The market has
declined some now and cattle are do

They may sell better later At this
juncture Smith and Jones part, the
former well aware of the mistaken
ideas of his neighbOr and the latter
destined to plod OH his honest but
erroneous way.
1t is a well-knOwn fact in the vicin-
ity in which they reside that Smith is
far more successful than Jones. Both
are worthy, Industrious citizens. The
one has studied his business and guild
ed his affairs in a fitting manner; the
other has failed to keep pace with the
steady march of progress, has suffered
from the result of vague and super
stitiOus ideas. There are Smiths i'm

may be JOneses. Which will you be? 1t

IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC DIScoV-
cry.
A Clinical Preparation That Positively
Kills the Dandruff Germ.

A most important discovery has been
made after a years patient laboratory
work aimed in a certain direction-it
is Newbro's Herpicide, a preparation
that prevents falling hair, and speedily
and permanently eradicates dandruf.
These evils are caused by a germ or
parasite that burrows into the scalp,
throwing up dandruff, as it seeks to
sap the life OF the hair at the root.
There's no badness without falling or
thin hair. no thin hair without dandruff,
and no dandruff if the germ is destroy
ed. Newbro's Herpicide is the only
preparation that will do the work. DE
stroy the cause, you will remove the
effect" Sold by leading druggists.

other departments the wheels will be-
gin turning in three weeks. Just as
fast as things can be overhauled and
restored to first class condition the
many departments will be started
again.

have seen something of legal
practice on both sides of the Atlantic,
and my opinion is that our profession
would gain immensely by combining
the two branches pretty much as they
are combined In the United States
and Canada, says writer In the Lon
don Saturday Review. It is obvious
that the solicitors would profit by
such an agreement. They would have
the right Of audience in all courts,
and the opportunity to qualify them
selves for promotion to the bench.
In America the young lawyer goes
into an Office, where he makes his
merit known by steady attention to
business. There will always be two
kinds Of lawyers-those who stay in
their offices, dealing directly with
clients and attending to matters OF
routine, and those who advise on
points Of law and argue cases in court.
These two orders of men are clearly
distinguished In America, but thew
work together as partners to the great
advantage Of the client.
