supplied that this article is written.
There have been successfully established in
Missouri and other states in recent years num-
Der of farm home colonies, which seem to offer the
best method for bringing people back to the soil
in way which is likely to make the experiment
successful The general plan of these farm
home coloniesis for some individual associa-
ton to divide tract Of land available for farming
and fruit raising into number of small FARMS
which sold easy terms rented to per-
sons who desire to go back to the soil, with cen
trail or home farm conducted in way and with
the appliances necessary not only to encourage
and to instruct, but also to assist those living
upon the other FARMS the idea being that the cen
tral farm, under the control of experienced
farmer will be a source of example, and with the
establishment at central place of church,
schoolhouse, blacksmith shop, creamery. silos.

correspondingly lessened.
The isolation and lonesome
ness incident to individual
effort in getting back to the
soil is thus, of course, avoid
ed, with a consequent i'm
provement of conditions OF
social life.

on street corners they distributed

each town that 80 lots, no more, no
less. would be given away absolutely
free The drawing of the lots was TO
advertise the country. The public
couldn't Iose-it was TO get the lots
free. Here was an offer that listened
better than a gold mine. Where did
these men make their money?
Every one of the lots given away
meant that the person accepting
would have to pay for the title-a
mere bagatelle. Especially since the
land itself was obtained for nothing

The deeds were printed by the thou

each day this meant 1925. There were
approximately 1900 lots in the tract.

4 the many modern methods. a Kan
sas City doctor not long ago advertis
ed an electric machine which was an
alleged cure for catarrh and deafness
The advertisements stated that the
cure was free. Ali that was necessary
was for the patient to write and medi-
cine would be sent. Then when the
aiiing person would write, the doctor
would send blanks which were to be
filled.
After getting a full description of
the disease-how long the patient
had been ailing, the number of times
other doctors had attempted to eff

to his prospective patient that the

WORKING WITH GOLD.
Factories In Which Dark Colored
Clothes Must Be Worn.

FACTORIES In "hICn Dark Ooiorco
Clothes Must Be Worn.
Light suits of clothes are not favored
in factories where work is done on
gold. In fact, In many such factories
a dark suit of clothes is absolutely re-
Quired, and even a light waistcoat may
lose a man a Job. The reason for this
is that any stray grains OF gold that
may get on the clothing can easily be
caught on a dark suit, while they
might get away from the establish
ment If light clothes were worn.
That such a rule was enforced
among gold workers one man learned
recently when a Bohemian gold beaten
applied to him for helping hand The
Bohemian said that he had only re-
Gently come to this country. that be
had had chance to obtain good Job
at his trade. but that the place had
been refused him because he turned
up with a light coat and waistcoat on.
and they were the only clothes he had
The man whom be approached was
struck by the story and offered to help
him out If it proved true. He went 10
a downtown factory with him and
found out that the man could have the
Job If he presented himself within an
hour with The proper clothes on. Two
dollars enabled the man to rig himself
out in the dark coat and waistcoat to
go with his dark trousers, and, sure
enough, he got the job.
You may think this strange" said
the man at the factory. but IL means
quite little TO US. Every mans cloth
ing is carefully examined when he
leaves here at night and the gold
brushed off whenever we see any on
his clothing.
at is impossible TO hide even tiny
grains on a dark background. but take
a mixed or light suit and we might
easily lose quite an amount Of gold.
