If readers of agricultural magazines or country newspapers are doubtful about the reliability of the mining or other investment ads. which they see advertised In their columns, this mat ter may be ascertained in a way by making inquiry if the editor of the paper in question considers the con- cern sufficiently trustworthy so that he has invested in its stock beyond the amount which the company has paid to him for advertising space. While editors now and then get duped on these enterprises if they have invested good hard cash in them, it is at least an evidence that they are consistent In advertising them.

The greatest corn show ever given in the history of the country will be held in Chicago about the middle of October The corn belt has been divid- ed Into districts, and for each of these large prizes have been offered for the best specimens of thoroughbred corn. The practical benefit resulting from these annual corn shows can hardly be estimated, as in a majority of cases when a corn grower attends one of these exhibits and sees the splendid types of thoroughbred corn he at once hecomes disgusted with the scrub corn which he has been raising and thence forth both by precept and example be comes a preacher of the gospel of. better type of corn and more careful and thorough system of seed testing. planting and cultivation.

The state superintendent of public instruction of Nebraska has lately in- troduced a custom which might be followed with profit in other states. Ii is what might be termed renova- ton or clearing up day for the rural school. A day, Aug. 27, has been set apart. At this time the patrons and pupils of the rural school gather to clean up the premises-mow the grass, make needed repairs on buildings and put things generally shipshape before the sopening of the fall term of school The folks fetch their dinners and spend the day, and while considerable hard work Is done the occasion is one that is thoroughly enjoyed and tends to arouse an interest in the education sl affairs of the district that might not otherwise exist. If school patrons at tend this cleaning up day picnic they arc pretty apt to visit the school again some time when 1t Is in session.

One of the most disagreeable fea- lures of farm life Is the monotony of 1.-the lack of variety and change. The fall season offers a good opportu- nifty to break this up through attend ance at the county or state fairs. Not only would such outings be worth their cost from the standpoint of rec reation, but the practical value to be derived through an inspection of all kinds of fine stock and latest improve ments in the way of farm equipment and machinery would be a great deal Teaching by precept is excellent, but where this can be accompanied by practical demonstration, such as is given at these big district and state fairs, much more effective instruction Is given. Where 1t is possible the whole family should attend. If this Is not practical let the father or mother and the older children attend. If the outing does not cost more than SIP or $15 apiece 1t is money very wisely ex- pended.

There Is nothing quite so pathetic as n

II rich and who spends his days trying
TO interest some one to spend their cash
to find his hidden wealth. said Harry
Spooner of Chicago at the Plankinton.
Il spent six months recently In various
parts OF the west and became acquaint-
cd with many such fortune seekers. One
old man bought claim ten years ago.
and he still hangs on to this claim with
the hope that some day he will derive a
big fortune from It.. Several times he was
offered enough money for 1t to retire and
live comfortably the rest OF his life.
but when such offers were made to him
he would simply decline to sell. This
same man thought had lots of money
which would be willing to invest to
work his claim. He met me with a
smile. talked confidently of how we
would make a fortune and made plans
as to how we would spend the money and
enjoy ourselves. He has been living In
this dream since he bought the claim.
