THE TWO CoRKs PUZZLE.
II Seems Simple But II Is Hard
to Do.

Take two corks and hold them as
shown, viz, each laid transversely
across the fork Of the thumb. Now
with the thumb and second finger Of
the right hand lone on each end take
hold of the cork in the left hand, and,
at the same time, with the thumb and
second finger of the left hand take
hold of the cork in the right hand and
draw them apart.
The above sounds simple enough,
but the novice will find that the corks
are brought crosswise, as shown in
the lower section of our illustration.

Don't get the idea into your head
mat the Union proposes to make you
a living without some good old.fash-

some OF the things right that YOU

1t is as much the duty of the mem
bers of the Union to teach and insist
upon honesty and good morals of all
members as it is to teach the value of

thing that will stand the test of eter-
nifty is the upright man.

The day of the open saloon is about
over in this country, and the boys are
coming up clean and clear of the faint

big corporations, faults though they
have, are to be credited with the
growth of the sentiment that the
drinking man is not the man to be
trusted with important matters.

One of the ways to save a good deal
OF the cotton that is now being wasted
between the patch and the mill is to
build a bunch Of mills all over the

1t Is sometimes a paying thing to
run cotton mill or a canning factory
without direct profit. If a bunch of
farmers put up cannery and get a
market which they never had before,
they are ahead of the game, even if
the cannery or factory never declares
a dividend. 1t is the final end attained
that should be looked for.
