Simple Acts That Are Too Difficult

Simple Acts That Are Too Difficult
For Simians to Learn.
It would be q very simple matter for
a fourteen months old child to learn
to pull in. by means of a very light
toy wooden rake. an object which it
could not reach with its hands, and yet
Jimmie, very. tame Rhesus monkey
Of mine, writes John b. Watson in
The World Today. spent many days In
trying to learn this simple act and
had not learned to manipulate the rake
when our patience ran out Jimmie
was kept moderately hungry at the
time of the experiments: he was teth-
cred Just out of reach Of some very
tempting food (malaga grapesl. A light
top wooden rake was given him. In
stinctfvely he grasped IL, bit it, then
dropped it and began straining at his
tether and reaching out as far as possi-
bic with his foreleg, making vain eff
forts to scratch IN his food. The rake
was then put around one of the grapes,
and the handle extended toward jim
nile. Instantly he grasped the handle
as before and jerked it, aud the grape
rolled within reach of his paw. The
rake was dropped and forgotten and
the faithful paw utilized for the COM
pletion Of the act
Now what happens when the grape
has been eaten? The rake is still With
in his reach, and the grapes are still
outside the pale. Does he perceive the
relationship existing between food
ont Of reach. rake will lengthen paw,
ergo. use rakeg' Not Jimmie And he
Is the brightest Of six. AS long as you
will kindly hook the blade of the rake
around the grape and extend the han
die toward him he will condescend to
pun in the rake aud consequently the
grape. but he has never yet both
pushed out and then pulled In the rake
OF his own initiative.

Labor.

The doctrine of the farm is merely
this. that every man ought to stand in
primary relations with the work Of the
world; ought 70 do It himself and not
TO suffer the accident Of his having a
purse in his pocket, or his having been
bved 10 some dishonorable or injurious
craft. to sever him from those duties
and for this reason, that labor is Gods
education; that he only is a sincere
learner. he only can become master
who learns the secret Of labor and who
by real cunning extorts from nature its
scepter.-Emerson

new ROAD PLAN
STiRS FARMERS
Don't Like Method Of Engag-
ing Their LabOTeFS to
Improve Highways

Some farmers are agitated over a
change that has been made in the
method of employing men to repair the
county roads since the new law went
into effect abolishing road commission
ers and creating the office of road su-
porvisors.
la the past II has been a custom in
the rural sections for the road commits
sioner to give an opportunity to farm
ers to work on the roads and thus earn
enough money to pay their road taxes.
BY this method a farmer would take
three or four of his laborers at a timc
when farm work was duh and would
put in the time repairing the roads. An
allowance of Si.35 a day was made for
each man thus employed. This method
has proved Of great assistance to many
farmers, and has helped them wonder
fully in paying off their taxes.
Now a complaint comes from scme
farmers i'm Mill Greek hundred that an
that the farm hands are being em-
ployed to work on the roads without
the farmers being consulted about It.
One farmer to-day pointed out that
this not only deprives the farmer OF
an opportunity to wipe out his taxes
but it also takes laborers from the
farm at a time when help is scarce and
is needed to till the soil
He said the new plan of going over
the head of the farmer and depriving
him Of a chance to make a few dollars
and at the same time of taking men
away from the farm is proving highly
unsatisfactory TO the farmers, who
wish to be consulted in the matter.
