AN OPEN MIND,

The interesting story Is told OF a
Missouri farmer OF forty-seven years
who was so impressed with his sons
progress In the state agricultural COL
iege that he sold his farm and Is now
taking full course In the same school,
md It Is understood that the new pupil
Is making some Of the kids scratch
gravel to beat him In class room work.
The incident as related emphasizes the
fact, forgotten at times by some, that
one never gets too old to learn and
take advantage Of the helpful things
to be derived from the study and ex-
perience of other people. This keep
Ing ones mind open to new things,
while 1t may In rare instances be car
ried too far, is that which distinguishes
the bright, alert man from the clod-
hopper and him who succeeds In life
from him who plods along on dead
level of monotonous mediocrity or in
feriority.
There be folks who somehow have
the idea that there is virtue or merit
of sort in doing a given piece Of work
In a laborious and painstaking way
when 1t might be done Just as well
with less time and energy In a diff
ferent way. 1t is this disposition to
save time and energy that accounts for
one fellows being forehanded with
his work while his neighbor is Just
about as much behind with his.

HOLDING THE CROP.

The tiller of the soil who Is so sit
nated that he can hold his crop has
A decided advantage over his fellow
producer who cannot do so. 1t Is a
well known fact that the middleman,
1uite generally comprising wholesalers
and commission men. like to get con-
troll of just as large q percentage OF
the supply of any product as possible
and as soon as may be after 1t Is Mt
or ready for market. This enables
them to control the supply, while there
accrues the added advantage OF buy
ing at the low prices which so often
prevail when the many who cannot
hold their product throw 1t on the
market. 1t Is matter of mere OBJ
servation that unless starting prices are
abnormally high they advance materi-
ally as soon as the bulk of any COM
modify is out of the producers hands.
1t is on this account that a hand to
mouth policy In the matter of market
ing stuff is to be discouraged. unless
prices prevailing are unusually high.
The adoption of this plan usually re-
suits in an increased price for grain,
for some fruits and vegetables and.
often In the case of farm animals. To
put 1t In another way, the suggestion
may be made somewhat clearer by
saying that one should endeavor to so
equip himself that he shall not be a
victim Of the market circumstances
which may happen to prevail at any
given time.

THE HOT WATER CURE.

Among the many panaceas which
have been recommended from time to
time to cure the Ills Of ailing folks
none seems to have had the efficacy of
the water cure, which Is just now re-
ceiving good deal Of attention. This
consists in the drinking of hot water
the first thing in the morning and at
hsealtimes. with just as many glasses
Of water between times as possible.
The contention Of those who recon-
mend this copious use Of water-and
they are among the best medical au-
thoritles Of the country--is that the
average person does not consume
enough water anywhere near to sup
ply the needs Of the body and because
of this generally sluggish condition
results. which tends to aggravate any
disorders which may exist. Many who
have tried the cure have been greatly
helped and are warm In their praises
of 1t. It's cheap as dirt, and anybody
can give 1t trial.
