Timber and Fence Posts.

The scarcity OF timber becomeI
constantly greater, and It becomes
more difficult to secure fence posts.
For flrewood provision should be
made by planting such woods as will
grow readily, and every portion Of
the farm best suited to the growth
Of timber, and not necessary for 9TH
er purposes, should be planted to
such woods as will answer.
The man who owns his farm can
make no better investment than to
plant such timber as will be needed,
While 1t takes time for such crops,
the profit is great, and trees are not
subject to such dangers as other
crops.
Where the material is at hand,
there is no better post than one we'll
made of concrete. Such posts will
last indefinitely and II they should
cost twice the price OF wooden posts
they are worth more than twice as
much. The mold for this is simple,
and costs almost nothing. There
should be a post factory where need

he may secure 1t at some convenient
point. As concrete is heavy, trans

posts are made at a distance.

TRIBUTE TO TRAVELLING MEN.

Every young man, in preparing for
a business career, should spend two
or three years on the road as trav-
cling salesman. Some Of the most
successful men in business today be-
gan as travelling men. We never see
a travelling salesman, says the Atchi-
son Globe, that we do not admire his
esay grace, his politeness and his
familiarity with men and conditions,
Travelling men are nearly always
well informed; nearly all of them
acquire an education from travelling
around and rubbing up against
strange men. And an education of
this kind is better than a college ed
ucatlon, for practical purposes.
Many years ago joke book was
issued, purporting to contain the
Jokes" told by travelling statesmen.
Travelling men are not given to tellin
Jokes" They are serious and we'll
behaved. The notion that they are
noted cut-ups originated with the
joke book issued many years ago,
and which is still offered at railway
news stands. Travelling men are
nearly all good husbands. In nine
cases out OF ten when travelling
man goes on vacation trip he takes
his wife with him. Take q long ride
in a Pullman and lounge about the
smoking room, and you will note
that the eleverest men you meet are
commercial travellers. Thefeore, if
you want to give your son an excel
lent business training, get him a job
as a travelling salesman He will
acquire steadiness, common sense,
business ability and integrity, for a
commercial traveller soon learns the

Lincoln Steffens says that the first
thing the victim Of robbery should
do is to telephone to the newspapers
rather than to the police.
Following is his advice, given in a
story called Mickey Sweeney, De-
tective of Detectives"
"The police everywhere warn citi
zens not to let anybody but the police
know Of such troubles. They say
that II the newspapers get hold of the
news they will publish It; this will
frighten away the thieves and pre-
vent the police from recovering the
stolen property, This is only po-
lice trick to avoid criticism. They
give to the press all their successes;
they suppress their failures, and thus
keep up the appearance OF efficient
service,
tAs a matter of fact, the first thing
that the victim OF a robbery should
do is to telephone to the newspapers.
That would soon show what a small
proportion OF the reported cases a
detective bureau like that Of New
York detects and--it will make the
police work on your case. July
