seen Of the people here
After hearty breakfast we are on
deck again, to see what may be seen
and enjoy the invigorating air, but it
soon began raining and kept at it all
day But, it did not bother us much,
for we could not go down town any
way. This was the first rain since we
left New York, two weeks ago.
We are passing through the Straits
of Messina, Sicily on the right and
Italy on the left, Now, at s:3O, we are
laying IN the harbor, looking at the
ruined city of Messina, We read 50
much about, destroyed by the terrible
earthquake, less than year ago. The
Capt, stopped the ship twenty minutes
to give us a look at it.
Soon ON our way again. At $50, we
arespassing Gegio, located not far from
Messina, but on the opposite side Of the
Strait. This place was also badly shak-
en- up by the quake.
NOW, SUNDAY, 5Ist, went TO church
in the morning and heard very good
practical sermon song service in the
evening. Then we went out on deck
and took a run around before retiring.
Ifyou could see the bunch of people,
ell over the ship, singing a4d enjoying
themselves, you would think, as we do,
that the American people know how
to enjoy themselves and be happy.
Monday morning, Nov. 1st, with fine
weather, and the good ship nearly as
steady as house, we are on our way
to Carlo, our first port in Egypt, which
we win reach about 900 a m on Tues
day, and remain for three days. We
land at Port Said and take the cars to
Carlo.

Farmers and Hayseeds

There are Farmers and there are Hayseeds. A Hayseed is a
man who buys poor machinery, on the installment plan, and
let's it stand out in all sorts of weather until it falls to pieces;
who pays no attention to what he sows or plants; who neg.
lects his farm and his family to go to town and tell how to
save his country when he should be at home saving his crops
A farmer is a man who sows good seed; takes good care Of
the soil; takes care of his machinery; takes care ofhs crops,
and keeps his fences up. There are Hayseeds among mer-
chants; merchants who sell poor goods; who trust more il.
Providence than in their own labor to get d good business,
and don't stop to think that Providence may be busy some
where else. We are the farmers in the jewelry business
we SOW good seed when we sold those watches and clocks
way back in the seventies. They were good ones and es-
tablished our reputation, and has given us a good, full crop
ofbusiness. We are sowing the same kind of seed now.
We Sow
good seed when we advertise in THE LEADER and we have
GOOD GROUNDS to expect a heavier crop than usual this
fall.

Alcohol at Six Cents a Gallon.

When the people OF the United
States heard the announcement that
Uncle Sam was about to permit the
manufacture and use Of denatured
alcohol without the internal revenue
tax, there sounded from the general
throat peans of joy and praise. The
fact that, in a measure, dlsappoint-
ment followed has nothing to do with
the satisfaction with which the
announcement was received. In the
whole history Of the arts and OF the
industries there has been no demand

Of promise of either.
But II disappointment was all that

silly nearly everybody, at least, was
educated to understand what cheap
alcohol would mean. 1t will require,
therefore, no long-winded explanation
to make perfectly clear the meaning
of the news which Is now TO be publish
ed for the first time in the pages of
the Technical World Magazine.
Cheap alcohol is here, and the dream
and hopes of manufactures, of farmers
and Of the housewife have come true.
Indeed, the widest i%maginings Of the
most sanguine of those who saw COM
mercial revolution in the freeing OF
denatured alcohol from the tax, will
fall short Of realities. Alcohol-the
highest grade of wine spirits-can be
made-is being made-has already
been made-in huge quantities at a
of six cents a gallon including
raw materials and all manufacturing
processes.
