GOOD WORK IS LOVED WORK
And Therein One Should Find the
Contentment That Is Chief
Part of Life.

If man doesn't love his work, he
had better get something else to do.
But the trouble is that such people
will hardly love any kind of work.
The trouble is in them. They lack
intelligence. If they knew enough
to know good work, they would soon
learn to love it. The manual-train-
ing scheme has this in view-to sur
round the job a man is doing with
such intelligence and taste as viii
make it attractive to him.
The man who is in love with his
job gets more contentment out of life
than any other" says Brander Mat
thews; and he gets a great part of his
contentment in doing his work right.
No man can love his work who shirks.
No man can be contented who is dis
honest about his work. This is shirk-
ing or doing it negligently. So these
things always go together-honest
work, contentment and love of the job.

The story reproduced below is only
one, of the hundreds of proofs that
could be produced to show the results
that may be obtained from cultiVa-

Almost any section of the country will
do as well.
With the country recently opened by
the Grand Trunk Pacific, the latest Of
the great transcontinental lines to en-
ter the field of the development of the
Canadian West. there is afforded added
ample opportunity to do as was done
in the case cited below:

up and crop it, make $17,550 out of
the yield and $10,880 out of the increase
of value all within the short period
of two years, was the record estab-
Hshed by James Bailey, a we'll known
Mr. Bailey bought the GAO acres of
land near Grand Coulee two years ago.
He Immediately prepared the whole
section for crop and this year has 900
acres of wheat and 40 acres of oats
The wheat yielded 1875 bushels, and
the oats yielded 4,750 bushels The
whole of the grain has been market
ed and Mr.. Bailey is now worth ST.. $50
from the grain alone. He bought the
land at SIS an acre, and the other
day refused an offer of $S5 an acre,
just SIT advance for the time of his
purchase. The land cost $11,32O in
the first instance. Here are the fig
ures of the case.-Land cost, $40
acres, at SIS, s11,32O. Wheat yielded
1875 bushels, at "a cents a bushel,
