THE BUSINESS GIRL.
Hints That Will Enable Her to Win
Her Way.

Girls desiring to enter upon business
career must impress upon their minds
the fact that an employer appreciates
women who can seize his ideas and fol-
low them out without asking thousand
and one questions. They must not think.
that because they are girls an employer
should be more considerable toward them.
and their shortcomings than he would.
be toward those of a man.
Then, again, some girls are apt to be-
oversensitive when they first enter an.
office, store or warehouse, and consider
that every little thing done well is de-
serving of praise from their employers.
Perhaps it may be, but in five cases out
of six the employer has no time to praise
his assistant. If girl knows and be-
lieves she is doing her very best, even
in the smallest detail, she will have the
reward of a quiet conscience, and a
kindly employer will not forget word
of encouragement voluntarily from time
to time.
A girl should take every opportunity
of improving her talents. She should
not be afraid of doing little extra work,
or think that she was doing more than
her share when her employer asks her
to do a little overtime" Nothing is
lost by it in the long run. Too many
foolish" forgetting that whatever fur
theirs the interests of the house that en-
ploys them will eventually further their
own, provided, of course, they are indus
trious, energetic and faithful
Success is a plant which requires con-
slant care of oneself and ones work if
it is to flourish, and the girl who will
succeed in all phases of life is undoubt-
eddy the one who knows herself and her
capabilities, and has the tact and faculty
to use that knowledge to the best ad-
vantage

The Languages of Paradise.

Every language has it's admirers;
in Lucille" the author, "Owen Mere
dith," maintained that when he heard
French spoken as he approved he
found himself quietly falling in love. :
Edward Hutton is another instance of
this lingual fascination. In stating
his preference in his enchanting
"Cities of SPAIN" he recalls an inter
esting medieval legend. He says:
And as l listened to the splendid
syllables of the Castilian tongue that
rang eloquently through the twilight,
| remembered the saying Of that old
Spanish doctor of whom James How
ell tells us in his Instructions for
lorraine Travell," to wit, that Span
ish, Italian and French, these three
daughters of the Latin language, were
spoken in Paradise: that God Al
mighty created the world in Spanish,
the Tempter persuaded Eve in Italian
and Adam begged pardon in French

and team and the market price for
the products grown, and gets the fol
lowing results: One sixty acres OF
corn yield was 1913 bushels per acre.
which cost 5000 to produce, and was
valued at $4947. This showed a clear
profit of $29.OS per acre. On clover
hay he raised 81 tons per acre on fiji
teen acres. This cost 1888 and pro.
duced $685. or profit of 1888 per
acre. His twelve acres of wheat aver
aged 1929 bushels at cost of $3.50
per acre, and with yield Of 1852
per acre showed profit of 1888. On
oats he had a yield of POI on eight
acres. The cost was $12.13, the pro-
ceeds $1256 and the profits 43 cents
per acre. With ga acres of potatoes his
yield averaged 1873 bushels, which cost
$57.67 and yielded $84.89, with profit
of $27.22 per acre. In his locality this
would seem TO indicate that all crops
pay, but that corn is the most profit
able, with potatoes second and oats

Apple Raising Most Profitable.

The apple is the king of fruits. 1t is
used in more different ways than any
other food, and is the only fruit that one
can enjoy every day in the year. The
apple-tree, moreover. is the hardest of
fruit trees, and in a region like the Paci-
fic Northwest thrives and bears apples
without care OF any kind, but with cul-
tivation and scientific direction the pro-
duction is sure and very large.
The Pacific Northwest contains the
only territory now being successfully
planted to apple trees. Moreover, in
this favored land the productive area is
confined to a few small protected val
legs, and only part of each, the bench
or tableland, is adapted to fruit-rasng,
In a word, the market for good
apples is hopelessly undersupplied,
'rather than decrease, especially for the
fancy product of the North Pacific val
legs, where 80 per cent of the apples of
all good varieties are fancy.
The Irrigated Apple Lands in These
Protected Valleys are admittedly the
Most Valuable Productive Lands in the
World. Net profits of from $500 to
$1,000 per acre in a single year are the
authentic records of scores of orchards
in the best districts, and the price for
well-bearing, mature orchards. is prac-
tically prohibitive. Sales have been made
for more than $4,000 per acre. for or
chards not yet in bearing. 1t is signif-
cant that no land whatsoever in these re-
markable fruit regions has ever de-
Perforated in value, but has doubled and
quadrupled and is still advancing with
the developing civilization. These prece-
dents also apply to orchards being plant
ed at the present time.
A postal with your address mailed to
our address will bring you detailed in
formation of this attractive investment.

A Low Wagon .

A Low Wagon.
A low wagon is decided advantage
at times on the farm if the roads are
firm. With low wheeled rig man
can go into hay field or corn field
and load the rack with half the labor
involved with high wheels. Of course
small wheel will sink deeper into
the mud and drop into furrow or
small depression that large wheel
will bridge over
The wagon illustrated is built out
of the ordinary farm wagon with full
size wheel First, make an axle nine
and half feet long. with skeins that
will fit your wheels. Take two tim
bers eighteen feet long, relatively as
strong as 6xS pine Ground timbers will
answer If you have them on your
FARM, hang these under the axle near
the skeins with five-eighths round iron
clips with burrs underneath. Four or
six inch blocks may be put between
the axle and timbers, which will make
them still lower Chamfer the front
ends and bolt together, forming tri-
angle.
Hang the front end under the front
axle by means of a strong, short reach
bolted firmly to the timbers just behind
the circular part of front hounds. The
kingbolt goes through the reach and
serves 10 draw the rear part, but the
weight is supported by coupling in
front Of the axle. This consists of a
heavy eye bolt and large triangular
link, which is Topped over the projecting
end of the reach in front of axle. Gov
er the timber with tight floor eight
feet wide, as far as possible, without
interfering with the turning of the
front wheels against the timbers. Deck
over the front wheels, resting the deck
ing on false bolster. All the deck
ing is of sound inch boards, with
strip nailed under the ends of boards
to protect them.
For hay, use stakes in rear, with 2x6
bolted cross-wise, and 2x4 fastened
from top of same to the deck to shield
the wheels. This part may be removed
when hauling commodities other than
hay Three short posts may be set in
ground with inclined bars and the wag
on driven or backed upon same to raise
it from the ground, when the wagon
can be changed quickly and much more
