John D. as a Jester.

Every little while Cousin John
Rockefeller does something to add an
other plank of evidence to the theory
that he has a deep-seated sense of
humor. He is becoming more and
more of a giddy sort of jester.
A short time before the Rockefe,-
lers left here for the east, Cousin
Rockefeller and a number of friends
were out a-golfng. Several women,
wives and friends of a number of the
contestants, were present, and John
D. was having great sport poking fun
at the golfers whenever one of them
would make a poor stroke. The wo-
men laughed heartily at the expense
of the erring player whenever John
would spring one of his funny gibes
and the oil refner was in high glee.
It came the turn of one player who
had just taken up the game a week or
two previously, but who averaged as
good a game as most Of the others.
You'd better explain to the ladies'"
he whispered to his host, that / am
just a beginner"
Tell them you're just beginner"
repeated John, loud enough for all to
hear. Why, man, do you think any
of the ladies present are so stupid
that they won't know that when they
see you drive off?"-Cleveland PLAIN
Dealer.

THE PRICE OF
LAND INCREASING
THE "RAck TO THE LAND" CRY
is EFFECTIVE.

Travelling through the state of Iowa
the other day, and Iowa is no excep-
ton to the story about to be related,
the writer was shown farm that was
offered three years ago for $3.50 an
acre. That appeared to be high fig
ure for Land upon which the owner
depended upon the crops of corn, hogs
and cattle that could be raised upon
it. But it wasn't. A few weeks since
the farm changed hands at 1926 an
acre. Over in Illinois, down in In
diana, up in Wisconsin, across the
line in Minnesota, the same expert
ence was met with. And then atten-
ton is directed to Canada, which has
been the Mecca of so many hundred
thousand Americans during the past
few years. Not only in Eastern Can
ada has the price Of lands increased,
but in Western Canada, during the
past few weeks, farm lands have In
creased from three to five dollars an
acre. with the prospect Of a similar
advance during the next three months.
The reason for this is very apparent,
and in a few words it may be pointed
out that the lands are worth a great
deal more than the present prices.
The Northwestern Agriculturist of
Minneapolis, a paper that was one OF
the first of the American farm papers
to discover the real merits OF the
lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, says: THE reciprocity SEIZED
ule would encourage American farm
ers to move to Canada, where the vir-
gin soil will produce greater crops OF
grain with less labor than can be pro-
duced in our own farms in the North
west. The result will be to enhance
land values in Canada" This paper
is afraid land values in Canada will be
enhanced at the expense Of land
values in the United States. In face
of the fact that land values in the
United States are increasing the rea-
soning scarcely holds. The reason for
the advance in value of Canadian
lands is partly accounted from the
fact, admitted by this paper, that Can
ada's virgin soil will produce greater
crops of grain with less labor" But
that is not the only reason. During
the past twelve months 100000 peo-
pie have made Canada their home and
these are mostly of the farming class.
They want farms, and the demand as
we'll az, the wealth of the soil is regu-
lating the price. A study of the in
crease in the acreage Of land put un-
der crop last year, which can be had
from any Canadian government repre-
sentative, will prove the point, that
the demand is increasing at greater
ratio than even the most sanguine
would have predicted.

HIS INVOCATION A SUCCESS
Actor Finally Got the Gas Man Awak-
ened and Attending to His
Duties.

Years ago." says Guy Bates Post,
the actor, Il appeared in an amateur
performance of a play that had a dis
tinct religious flavor The leading
player had studied for the ministry
and had deep and sOnOrOus voice. In
one of the scenes the lights were sup
posed to be turned down and raging
storm simulated. The accompanying
lines were:
''Oh, Lord, deliver us from the pow
ers of darkness
The leading man spoke the lines,
but darkness didn't follow. He spoke
them again, and still the stage was
distressingly light. Finally he roared:
"Oh, Lord, deliver us from the pow
er of darkness, and also give that fool
gas man sense enough to turn down
the lights
The gas lights went down and the
audience roared "-Pittsburg Chroni-
cle-Telegraph.

COFFEE CONGESTION
Causes a Variety of Ais.

A happy old lady in Wisconsin
says:
During the time l was a coffee
drinker l was subject to sick head
aches, sometimes lasting or 3 days,
totally uniting me for anything.
To this affection was added, some
years ago, a trouble with my heart
that was very painful. accompanied
by a smothering sensation and faint
ness.
Dyspepsia. also, came to make life
harder to bear. took all sorts of pat
ent medicines but none of them helped
me for any length of time.
THE doctors frequently told me
that coffee was not good for me; but
without coffee l felt as if | had no
breakfast. l finally decided about z
wears ago to abandon the use OF cor
fee entirely. and as had read a great
deal about Postum l concluded to try
that for a breakfast beverage.
II liked the taste of it and was par
ticularly pleased to notice that it did
not come up as coffee used TO. Inc
bad spells with my heart grew less
and less frequent. and finally ceased
altogether. and 1 have not had an at
tack of sick headache for more than
year. My digestion is good, TOO ana
| am thankful that | am once more
healthy woman. l know my wonder
ful restoration to health came from
quitting coffee and using Postum.

the prices at which 1t is sold and the
lowest price at which it can be sold
prOftably, of what the freight rates
will be to the town of the customer, OF
the terms of sale, of the financial
standing of the merchants he will en-
counter in his search for trade, OF
what competitors are able to offer in
the way of prices, quality, etc.
In short, he must be able to answer
satisfactorily every possible question
and argument that may be offered by
a prospective buyer. And, finally
which is the crux of the entire matter
he must be able to get the mans
order. The most successful drummer
of soap probably knows more about
soaps of all kinds than any other man
on earth.
During this process of acquiring
knowledge and experience your boys
pay has steadily grown from the orig
inal eight or ten dollars a month of
the first year to nearly double that
the second, and up to $50 or $40 by
the time he is waiting on customers.
On the road, he will be started at
SIS to 500 a month and travelling ex-
penses, and he must be able, as al
ways during his travelling salesman
ship, to earn his pay He will prob
ably be given an unimportant section
of little corner of new territory I'M
til he has proved himself, when his
route will gradually be enlarged &C
cording to the needs of the firm and
his own peculiar ability. Some travel
ing men are more successful among
village merchants than in the large
cities, and vice versa.
From this point on there is steady
advancement, as your boy grows in ex-
perience and ability, and he will be
getting acquainted with the other
goods handled by his firm so as to sell
everything on it's list AS he advances
his pay will increase until it
reaches and passes the general av-
erage of about $500 a year and ex'
penseS.
He will find that the firm is expect
ing him to be able to take care Of
larger and larger contracts, until he
can go to a newcomer who is opening
a large retail store in st. Louis, or
Chicago, or Minneapolis, or some 9th
er large city and persuade him to
place his entire order, or nearly all,
with his firm, even though it should
amount to as much as 100000. By
the time he reaches this height he will
be getting anything from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year. Some travelling sales
men earn even more than this.
Once a travelling man, always a
travelling man, is generally the case;
but if your boy has the domestic in
stinct and wishes to settle down, he
will not lack opportunity; for he can
become the head of the local sales de-
partment at a good salary or else he
can take up the buying end, which Of
fers even greater pay. Anyhow, he
has achieved a large, and last
ing success.
Some boys who live in small towns
have made their start by getting job
in one of the local stores, learning all
they could about the business and
made it a point to attract the favor
able notice of visiting travelling men,
with the result that the latter have
recommended them to their own firms,
and the latter have put them into the
stock department, or even on the
road, at living remuneration.

Triumph of Courage.

Courage and the power of the hui
man eye" saved Walter Sergeant, a
prosperous rancher. in the Redwood
district, San Jose, when he was con-
fronted by hungry mountain lion the
other evening. Sergeant was driving
a herd of COWS to his home in the
foothills when he noticed the big cat
stalking him. AS it crouched for a
spring, Sargent turned and fixed the
beast with his eye. Man and lion
remained as immOvable as statues for
a few seconds and then the animal
turned and trotted away.
