new forms of cable service to be
knONn as Cable letters and Week
End Letters. These new services are
not offered as substitutes for the reg

place the Atlantic cables within reach
of ,he public at dates which will en-
courage their use for social and bus
mess communications, which are now
subject to the delay of Oyer-sea mails
and which are of sufficient Importance
to Justify a moderate charge rOr the
use of the cables, while not of such
pressing urgency as to warrant the
cost of an eXpedi ed cable service.
The new services are predicated
upon The L.. Of cable facilities at tines
when the latter would otherwise be
unemployed. Gable letters may be
tiled at any open Western Union of
five at any hour to be forwarded to
cable terminus at New York or Bos-
ton By mail or telegraph at option Of
the sender, from whence they will be
cabled at the convenience of the COM
pany to reach London or Liverpool in
time for delivery on the morning OF
the second day following their receipt
at New York or Boston
Week end letters may be filed as
provided above up to midnight on
Saturday for delivery at London or
Liverpool on the following Tuesday
morning. They may of course be
filed before Saturday but will in no
case be delivered until Tuesday morn
ing.
Both cable letters and weekend let
ters must be written in plain English
language, code words and words in
foreign languages are inadmissable.

of cable letters will be $l.jO for 20
words. with 80 cents added for each
additional ) words, and for weekend
letters. $l5O for 80 words with %
cents added for each additional )
words.
These tolls cover the transmission
between New York or Boston as the
cable terminal on this side and Lon
don or Liverpool as the terminal on
the other side of the Atlantic. They
also include delivery at London or
Liverpool and the postage where post
! age is involved
Outside of London and Liverpool all
cables and weekend letters will be de
| livered by mail unless otherwise ar
ranged by senders. Telegraph deliv-
cry beyond London may be arranged
by payment of a charge of one cent
per word, with a minimum of - words
including addresses and signature.
Any information regarding this new
service may be had upon inquiry at

SMALL TOOLS
ON THE FARM
Necessity of Fairly Complete Out.
fat Is Apparent II Farmer
Would Avoid Many
Trips to Town.
tBy WALTER B. LEuTzo


If the average farmer were asked:
In the small tools on this farm?" II
is probable that after moment Of
thought. during which he would have
mental picture of an ak, hand
saw, grind stone and rather a con
fused idea that there was lot of stuff
of one sort or another somewhere
about the farm, would reply that from
$25 to $50 would cover the cost.
A recent investigation conducted in
Ohio, discloses the fact that this is far
short OF the mark. Careful inven-
tories were taken on 33 farms. and
in every instance the total amount was
many times what the owner had
guessed"
The fact that these small tools are
bought, one at E time as needed, and
are not cared for systematically. leads
to a very erroneous idea of their value.
Summarizing the inventories Of these
33 farms, 1t Is estimated that TO
completely equip general farm
OF 100 acres in Ohio with small tools
will probably cost from 5000 to $780,
or in excess of the farmers guess"
by more than 500 per cent. An error
in judgment of this amount. particu-
larly when the error Is against the
farm, ia serious enough to challenge
attention.
Even on farms where inventories are
habitually taken, these tools of minor
equipment are usually included as
"other small TOOLS" and given a
guessed at value. somewhat after the
stereotyped expression appearing on
sale bills: "other articles too numer-
GUS to mention"
Farm requirements differ very
greatly. the highly specialized farm
not needing nearly so many tools as
the general farm. The necessity of a
fairly complete outfit is apparent II
the farmer would avoid expensive trips
to town or to the neighbors to meet
some immediate need. thereby stop
ping teams and laborers until the re-
pair is effected. The advantage of
some systematic arrangement is also
apparent. in order that the exact tool
may be at hand when wanted and thus
avoid loss and delay by reason of mis-
laid. borrowed, stolen or lost tools.
Some of these tools can be charged
to special farm enterprises. as to the
horses the dairy corn. hay. grain. ETC..
but by far the great majority con-
stitute an overhead charge against the
farm. The connection between an
auger bit handle and a bushel OF
wheat may not be at once apparent to
the miller but 1t requires the auger
bit handle to turn the bit. to bore the
hole in the plank, to make the wagon
jack, to grease the wagon that hauled
the grain to the machine. and that
brought the wheat to the mill. Be-
fore the busbel Of wheat can yield
profit 1t must help pay for the auger
bit handle and the other minor tools
which total hundred or more dollars
in value on any we'll managed farm.

The Worth Of the Voice.

How wonderful Is the human voice!
1t is indeed the organ of the soul!
The intellect of man sits enthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in his
eye, and the heart OF man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only; as
God revealed himself to the prophet of
old in the still. small voice, and in
the voice from the burning bush. The
soul of man is audible, not visible. A
sound alone betrays the flowing of the
eternal fountain, invisible to man
