system of indirect profit-sharing.
AS indicating the possible earnings
OF a commercial traveller in a staple
line, il may be said that the "Dia-
mond" statesmen Of this house each
made in 1907, a net earning of $15,-
GOO. There are probably more big
earners among clothing statesmen than
in any other line; here the man who
does not end the year with a 5000
cleanup is not accounted a success;
there are scores of statesmen who re-
ceive $4,000 net a year; a very res
pectable number are in the 1000
class, and there is said to be at least
one-and perhaps there are three or
four-whose earning capacity is
measured by the formidable figure OF
$4,000.
other salesmen of staples whose
earnings are of almost sensational di-
mensions are the star" men in the
teas and fine silks. It is said that
some of these earn $4,000 and even
$4,000 year, but this is not given
as authentc.-Forrest Crissey, in the

WASTE OF THE FARMER.

It would be we'll for the country if
several millions of our fellow citi-
zens could see the economic situation
as clearly and appreciate it as sanely
as does George T. Powell, who de-
clares that the most urgent prob
lem before our nation today is not
the tariff but the prevention Of the
great wastefulness in agricultural
methods that occurs everywhere in
the United States, and the dissent
nation of scientific information that
shall lead to soil restoration and i'm
provement." The proposition is ir-
REPUTABLE.
Responsible authorities have esti-
mated the amount of the food bill OF
the American people at a little more
than $4,000, 100000 a year. That
both the first cost and the retail
price Of most of the articles on the
list could be and should be material
ly reduced there can be no question.
AS the Sun has asseyerated and Mr.
Powell declares, very few Of our far
mers have even a vague notion Of the
cost of their products. The makers
Of farm implements, Of clothing, hats
shoes, furniture and other articles
bought by farmers know to the frac-
ton Of a cent the cost of their mer-
chandise. There are and there can
be no wasteful or haphazard methods
in manufacturing or in commercial
business. The inevitable penalty Of
Indifference TO cost in those lines is
failure Except in rare instances no
other methods are followed on the
farm. In that industry it is not the
producer upon whom the penalty
falls. The consumer pays for the
waste, indifference, and ignorance Of
the producer.
Because of sundry legends handed
down from generation to generation
there is a general belief that a far
mer's life is of arduous and poorly
requited toll Much Of that belief is
utter nonsense. The average farmer
works no harder today than does the
average man in any other line Of in
dustry. His reward is determined
chiefly by the intelligence which he
applies to his operations.-New York

TRAVELLING MEMS PAY.

There is an ancient tendency, on the
part Of big wholesale and jobbing
houses to introduce variations of the
profit-sharing plan Here is the sys-
TEN by which one Of the largest shoe
houses in America gives a special in
centive to its travelling statesmen. The
force is classed according to the voi-
ume Of sales delivered, as follows:
Statesmen shipping $4,000 to $75,-
900, Glass &C"
Statesmen shipping $4,000 to $780,
900, Class "B"
statesmen shipping 100000 to S125,-
600, Glass "A"
Statesmen shipping $125,OOO to $780,
900, Glass "Ar."
Statesmen shipping $3.50 900 to $500
900, Glass "AAr"
Statesmen shipping 100000 to $780,
900, Class "AAH."
Statesmen shipping above $500, 900,

When a salesman lifts himself by
increased sales from one class to an
other he is awarded bonus accord
ing to the following schedule:
Glass "C"-s75O; Class "B"-S1,-
500; Class "A'-$2.0OO; Glass "Ar'-
$2,5OO; Glass "AAi," Glasses "AAiP'
and 900 each.
Under this stimulus one man ha,
made $4,000 in bonus money for two
years in succession. In those same
two years the house paid to four men

LANDS OF BIBLE HISTORY.

Redeemed by an Engllshman's Genius.
Naturally fertile and once the rich
est region not only in Asia but in all
the world, Mesopotamia, owing to ne
glect, is now a barren waste. The
ancient irrigation works perished be-
cause the country was so torn asun-
der by internacine warfare that the
inhabitants ceased to keep them in
repair. The scene of the sudden des-
truction which overwhelmed the cities
Of the plain is still visible. The Tigrls
burst its bounds and temporarily en-
quilted a great area. and from that
day to this desolation has reigned su-
preme around ancient Opis.
There comes then from Egypt
modern Moses, Willcocks, by name, a
baronet and an engineer of note who
has been entrusted by Turkey with
the survey of the works for restoring
the ancient canals and irrigation
channels along the Tigris by which
the plains of MesopOtamia, after CEN
turtles of waiting, will be restored to
their oldtime leXuriance and pros,

THE SIMPLE LIFE LEFT BEHIND.
Mankind Has Created Complications
Hard to % Away With.

It Is easy to talk about the simple
life and SO hard to live 1t, for life 10
not simple any more. It's complica-
tons seem unavoidable.
The trouble lies In ourselves; the
entire trend Of womanly sentiment is
away from the things the centuries
held dear.
1t was not so hard to keep life sim
pie when ones best black silk did
duty for decade. Nowadays II the
silk didn't cut into ribbons the cut
of the garment would mean the patch
box in at least two seasons.
It is the craze for something new
that is the undoing Of simplicity.
Novelty is the keynote S4most Of our
lives. Even friendships and matri-
mony are getting infected with this
microbe of restlessness.
A mother said not long ago: Baby
Louise is so finnicky she will only
play with her toys two or three times
before she is tired Of them and have
to send them off to the hospital.
And the mother seemed to think
that it showed progressive spirit In
her child Such a craving for novelty
can mean nothing but unhappiness, no
matter what ones ability to crafty
it.
If we are ever to become simple
again without some dire calamity fore
ing 1t upon our country, we must
change our views of much that VIZ
now think progressive.
We will have to learn TO draw a
sharp distinction between our necessi
ties and our frills. A woman who is
noted for her restfulness and her
placidity in the midst Of hard life
was asked how she managed to keep
unfretted.
81 try to keep my life simple. Long
ago learned that what women pos
sess beyond the real necessities soon
crows to be WEAKNESS to the nerves
The more of the unessentials we ac'
quire the more We want. Our most
coveted treasure soon grows insig
nidcant in the thought Of something
still to be achieved / make my rule
of life less change and more repose
