full grown people, with dishes and all
the necessary outfit, clothes, etc.
This comprised our outfit that we
left st. Helens, Oregon and brought
to Portland with our little engine.
We had some of the worst roads L
ever saw. On about two miles of the
way some fifty men and seven to nine
teams had been at work for month,
making fills and changing the road,
and the recent rains made this some
thing awful; but we managed to get
through, and the last day of our trip
we covered something like fifteen
miles, as hundreds of people from
below Linton to five miles outside OF
Port land can testify. We reached
that day, Arleta, which you know is
five miles through Portland.

entire satisfaction.

What it Did for Two Trappers
in the Far North.

The important part that music had
in the daily life of two trappers in
the far north country is of particular
interest to every farmer. The ex-
perience of these two men, as record
ed by one of them, is telling tribute
to the soothing influence Of music
and it's power to drive away care and
fatigue. And what this music did
for these two men in their camp, far
away from all civiliza ton, it will do
for every farmer in the land in dis
polling the dizziness and dreariness
that too often infect the farm home.
Here is the letter written by one of
the trappers to the Victor Talking
Machine Co., Camden, N. j. 1t gives
an interesting side light on a trapper's
life and is we'll worth reading:
81 suppose you must get lots of
compliments from your customers,
and | want to send you one, too, but
| don't know how. Everything can
think of saying, or what we can do to
show our thanks for what you have
done for us don t seem to fill the bill.
My partner and 1 are hunters and
trappers, with our camp down on the
Mackenzie river, about 25O miles to
the north of the Great Slave Lake.
Just think how hard our winters used
to be; the continual darkness with
only a glimmer of twilight to relieve
the inky blackness.
1.-The spring before last my partner
took trip home and came back In
the fall with one of your machines, a
No. IL, big oak horn, a big box of
needles and about $50 records, and
that's the layout that has made life
worth living. I'd heard talking
machines before, but this ones got
them all skinned. 1t couldn't be
beat you'd think real singer was
singing, and a real band playing.
Why, when the night is seventy below
without a breath of wind, the air
sharp and biting with the sparkling
dropping frost, you should hear that
machine sing 'Queen of My Heart. I"
Loneliness and hard luck don't seem

the stage and the singer, the days
gone by and the days to come; then
big lump gets in your throat. It's
fine.
"There's another pleasure that's
just as grand in the outfit, and that's
to watch the Indians and Eskimos.
THE instrument has made us mighty
good friends with them now. Every
day, after we've made the line OF
traps and supper over, we build big
log fire outside. put windbreak up
to windward and start the concert.
The Indians come wrapped In different
gaudy -colored blankets and squat on
the snow around the fire and listen
to the music. They don't know any
thing about clapping Of hands and all
that, but their pleasure in every piece
was almost holy You'd see an old
buck squatted with look
ing face, and when we'd strike up
something pathetic, although he
couldn't understand a word OF Eng
lish, his face would change and a
look would come into his eyes as he
would look at that instrument like a
wounded deer looks at you before you
cut its throat.
GA few days after Christmas we
start for the hunting grounds again.
Although the forest fires took from
our stock over a hundred of our
records, it didn't get our Victor, and
before we leave we'll spend our few
remaining dollars for more records to
replace some of those we lost.

nothing but success can be yours, be-
cause our work is Godsend. re-

Hnloitg Our Patrons
The Modern Way Of Doing
Things on the Farm.

The stored picture of American
rural life, with which we have long
been familiar, has given away to newer
scenes. The old idea of daily
gathering of veteran farmers in the
cross roads country grocery store,
where they sat about the fire and
snapped stories all winter, worked
like beavers all spring and summer,
and then lapsed into camatose con-
dition again, is story of the old days.
Modern implements and up-to date
, business methods, however, are now
ito the fore in the daily life of the
progressive American farmer. Auto
mobiles carry him from farm to farm,
and from one section of his farm to
another. Traction engines do the
heavy farm work, and the business OF
the farm is carried on in a modern
manner, often with the help of sons
and daughters who are graduates of
present day business schools.
The farmhouse is lighted by gas or
electricity, and upon stepping inside
one sees all the adjuncts used in
modern city housekeeping. There is
a bathroom and laundry and running
water throughout. The house is kept
clean with a vacuum cleaner, and the
latest magazines lie upon the library
table.
All the out buildings are in first
class condition, as rule, and strict
sanitary conditions are noticeable
everywhere. That old bugaboO of the
farmer-the leaky roofs gone. He
realizes that good tight roof is not
only necessary for comfort and
healthfulness, but it adds to the value
of his property. In the old days, be-
cause there was nothing better, the
farmer had to 'put up with the
single roof, which rotted and warped
and leaked or the tin roof, which
rusted and had to be painted every
roof. which was apt to crack and blow
away, piece by piece. Then the
houses we're damp, and it was fire.
quently necessary to place buckets
around to catch the drippings every
time it rained. Outbuildings were
rarely ever covered with watertight
roof, and the animals showed the
effects of unsanitary surroundings.
Today the up-to- date farmer uses
Genasco the Trinidad Lake asphalt
roofing made by the Barber Asphalt
Company, of Philadelphia. This
ever lasting natural waterproofer
makes his root secure against all kinds
of weather, and is so easy to apply
that any farmer can lay it himself.
The attractive booklet, ''The Good
Roof Guide Book" issued gratuitous
ly by this Company gives much valu-
able information concerning roofing
in general. This kind of help is one
illustration of why the modern farmer
has been able to progress so far ahead
of his ancestors,
