Bio Opportunities to Young Men

Mr.. HI. A. Grant, a mechanical
engineer, formerly connected with
the testing and experimental depart
ment of the Maxwell Briscos Motor
Company has just returned fom an ex-
tensive tour OF the Middle West.
During the two months that l was
away" said MIR. Grant. 1.-THE thing
that struck me most with the greatest
force was the big demand for good
reliable chauffeurs, mechanics and
repair men AS we'll as for efficient
salesman, it is almost impossible to
get good men for these positions even
at the high salaries which are paid,
and the automobile industry will re-
ceive tremendous impetus as soon
as there are enough good men to go
around.
"During my western trip l person
ally interviewed a thousand farmers
and business men and everywhere was
the demand for good men.
Mr.. Grant was SO struck with the
great opportunities afforded to am
bilious young men that he has prepar-
ed an illustrated booklet for free dis
tributon which outlines the possibili,
ties of the automobile business and
the means for qualifying or the
positions that are waiting the right
man.
This will be sent to any man wishing
to become a chauffeur as we'll as to
owners who want to understand and
care for their own cars. A copy OF
this may be had by addressing Mr.. II.

Every Farmer Can Have Run
ming Water.

The one big advantage usually
claimed for the city is running water
where needed. There is no good
reason why nearly every country place
should not enjoy similar advantages
IN house and grounds and have water
for irrigation and the many other
uses to which running water can be
protitably put.
There are few places not located
within mile of stream or pond,
with fall of two feet or over a
hydraulic ram can be installed to
pump to height of 30 feet for every
foot of fall. 1t will work day and
night without attention. TheToperat-

roots were gone. Sometimes we would
have to cover a particularly hard one
two or even three times, but that was
quicker than going around several
times a day to cover any place that
might burn through. In fact we
found if we tried to cover any opening
that it seemed to stop the downward
effect of the heat on the stump, and
it would soon stop burning and have
to be rekindled.
We took out stumps from foot to
four feet in diameter by this method.
Most of them were tir and tamarack,
in fact, only two were pine. l think
where manure can be obtained it is a
very quick method of getting rid of
stumps. We were near livery barn
and sawmill and could, of course,
get it quite easily. We did not have
to do any leveling OF the ground either.
Some Of the bare stump burnt for
week, with only one covering, and
burned to the ends of the roots.
Respectfully,
ED CHAPMAN.
Mr.. Chapman writes that in using
this method the dry manure worked
better than the wet, but if it become
too dry, he covers it with dirt, to keep
it from burning too fast, but OH no
account break the ash crust. He
stated in some cases they could cut
stumps close to the ground and split
the stump and then cover with the
manure.

The Rife Engine Co. claim pump
ing efficiency for their Rife ram of
60 per cent to 80 per cent, depending
on ratio of fall to pumping head. Any

gallons a minute can be obtained.
Rife rams are in constant use all
over the world. 1t is claimed that
nearly all the testing laboratories in
colleges and institutions here and
abroad. over forty of our big railroads,

years.

Jefferson as an Inventor.

Not many people know that Thomas
jefferson was Il great inventor. His in.
ventions were all of articles of every
day use. He devised q three legged
folding camp stool that is the basis of
all camp stools of that kind today
The stool he had made for his own
use was his constant companion on oc-
casions OF outings. The revolving chair
was his invention He designed a light
wagon. A copying press was devised
by lin and came into general use.
He also invented an instrument for
measuring the distance he walked. A
pillow and a hemp cultivator showed
that his thoughts were often on agri-
cultural matters. His pillow received
gold medal in France in 1890. Jeffer-
son never benefited financially by his
inventions. but believed they should
be for the use of everyone without
cost.

A Joke That Failed.

The clerk of supply store In
southern Colorado did not know In
dian nature very well when he invited
a Ute chief to a boxing bout. After
explaining the use Of the gloves. which
the chief seemed to readily under
stand. they went into a vacant room
in the rear of the store to spar. The
gloves were adjusted. and the clerk
invited the chief to hit him. This, OF
course, he failed to do. as Indians new
er strike with their hands in conflict,
All at once the clerk struck out. and.
catching the chief under the ear, land
ed him on the floor. This was enough.
The Indian sprang to his feet, pulled
off the gloves, jerked out knife. and
the clerk had to run for his life. For
tunately he managed to keep out OF
reach until some friends caught the
Infatuated Indian and held him until
he cooled off, Then the clerk explain
ed the joke. but with very poor sue
cess The chief consented to forego
vengeance for the insult. but he was

government has stationed DR.. Heise-
gang as medical officer. He is a busy

to get the benefit of his professional
opinion on how to scar themselves ar

of scars. and nearly all of them are
covered with specimens which have
resulted from self inflicted wounds
which were kept open by frequent
scratching or by the Introduction of
foreign substances like sand, bamboo.
shells and so forth. The excrescence
which results from the average vaccl-
nation is scratched off at the proper
time, and the resulting large scar is
very dear to the native. young

The PuzzIe of the Press.

There used to be an aged elevator
man who operated one of the lifts in
the house wing of the capitol. Most
of his passengers were either repre-
sentatives or newspaper correspond
ents. The old man got to know all
of the correspondents very well and
always had a cheerful greeting for
them. 1t was often noticed. too, that
he seemed to be greatly interested in
their conversation.
One afternoon, as three OF them STEP
ped out of the elevator. Serene Payne
of New York stepped in. As the car
went down the old elevator man turn
ed and said:
Mr.. Payne, l can't understand
about those newspaper men. They
puzzle me-"
What's the trouble with them?'
asked Mr.. Payne.
'Wel, Mr.. Payne. every day they
ride in this car one Teller will turn
to another and say, What do you
know today?' And the other fellow
will answer. Not a - thing. What
do you know? Then the first Teller
will answer. Nothing. And yet, Mr..
Payne. the papers are just full OF
news every day. 1t beats me where
they get it

Old Time Strawberries.

Strawberries have improved very
much in flavor since the fifteenth cen

ries eaten were wild Strawberries Of
q kind which would never find mar

were beginning to be cultivated. for

particularly fine crop grown by the
bishop of Ely in the grounds Of his
palace. now covered by HattOn garden.
He quotes the Duke of Gloucester as
saying to the bishop: My lord. you
have very good strawberries in your
garden in Holborn. l require you to
let us have q mess of them. This
speech was copied almost verbatim by
Shakespeare in Richard Ill Still.

When Lobsters Were Common.

The lobster was not always the aris-
tocrat of the supper table and the
most costly of delicacies. A man who
used to live in Maine. but now lives IN
Ohio, has this Renaissance, according
to a writer in the Cleveland Leader:
zone day here in Cleveland | took a
friend out to luncheon. and suddenly
the old appetite for lobster came back
to both of us. as we were both born
on the Maine coast We had two full
portions, and the bill was So. And yet
as a boy I've seen my father ~+nnding
on the wharf. bargaining W! fish
erman for his lobster catch. OF the day.
and often. for So I've seen the lobster
fisherman turn over to my father the
entire catch. and the whole boatload-
$50 or 300 big, black Holsters, perhaps
would be dumped on the landing and
taken back on our old farm as feed
for the pigs.

What He Was Showing.

A young man sitting in a subway
car with legs crossed and one foot
showing a highly polished shoe and
silk sock extended so far into the aisle
as to make it almost impossible for
people to pass without coming in con-
tact with the obtruding member was
brought to a sense Of his disregard for
others by three young women who sat
opposite. One said, II wonder if he is
showing his foot or his shoe?" The
second said loud enough to be heard
above the car clatter and of the
amusement of others. Il think he
wants to show his clicked socks
watch it, mo" said the third, hes
only showing his bad manners" The
foot came down and was lost in the
crowd which got off at the next sta
tion.-NeW York Tribune.

HEAD OF BAY BREWING BARLEY.

alive, is generally preferred because,
while less starchy. it is more highly
albumfnous and therefore possesses
more of the substance which brings
about the inversion of starch into
sugar-namely. diastase.
The common American brewing bar
legs arrange themselves in the follow
ing system:
1. Six rowed, erect-White Club.
2. Four rowed, MISUNDERSTANDING bar

Brewing. Blue barley.
8. Two rowed. erect = Goldthorpe. Pri-
mus, Fan barley.
4. Two rowed, drooping--Common Chev-
alier, Horsford's Chevalier, Hanna, Prin-
cess.
Six Rowed Barley.-Through several
years experimentation at the Wiscon-
sin agricultural experiment station it
has been found that the six rowed bar
ley is preferable to other varieties and
more profitable for the average farmer
to grow The yield far surpasses that
of the other varieties, and the market
demands for the six rowed class far
surpass those of all other varieties COM
bined. At conservative estimate 50
per cent of all the barley now grown
in Wisconsin is six rowed barley. This
being the type of barley most COM
monty used for mailing in the United
States, it is likely that most of the
samples that will be shown at the bar
ley and hop exhibition in Chicago in
October, 1911. viii be of that type.
The experiments with two rowed
barley through eight years continuous
breeding work clearly prove that in
most regions the farmer cannot get
the returns from this crop that can be
secured with the six rowed variety.
The straw seems to be very frail and
lodges easily, thereby injuring the
quality Of the grain and reducing the
yield.

The artist promptly sued for damages,

which coin he triumphantly wore as a

In his art work. as in his own per-

as for his general behavior it was
foreign, one may even say exotic.
