D00RMAT IS A VALUABLE RUG
Supposedly Worthless Piece of Carpet
Turns Out to Be Worth $4,000
Wool Hard to Get.

Montclair. N. J.-Mrs. F. G.. H.
Fayen Of No. 218 Upper Mountain av-
enue. has used last year at the en-.
trance to her home a small rug. 1t
was bought with others at a sale in
New York.
A rug expert had been Summoned
to the Fayen house to look over the
rugs that required renovation. AS he
was going out Of the house he saw
the rug that was used as a doormat.
What shall do with this?" he
asked. as he stopped down and
picked up the rug. Nothing" said
Mrs. Fayen. 1T isn't worth while"
mot worth WHILE" he said. why
this is a precious rug: worth all the
others together"
Mrs. Fayen was amazed when the
expert explained to her that the de.
spised rug is probably worth $4,000;
that It was woven by q Persian bride.
and was never intended to be sold.
He pointed out the peculiar character.

good measure. Everything comes to
him who waits and as far as the
weather is concerned most of us are
generally waiting for a different brand
than what we have on hand.
The failure of the hay crop during
the past two seasons has brought the
corn crop into the limelight and its
good qualities have been praised until
there is very little to be added.
Another forage crop that is being
tried is mixture of millet and early
oats to be cut and bound just as the
oats is in the milk stage. 1t makes
an addition to the corn fodder ration
and is worth trial.
The repeated failure to make a
''catch" with clover seeding is liable
to cause some to drop it from
their crop rotation. Where this is the
case it will be necessary to save al
the manure and put it where it will
do the most good with manure
spreader. We have reached stage
where we must be awake in order to
make even one blade of grass grow
where one grew before.
Now is good time to look over
the work harness that have been in
use all summer and make note of the
repairs needed before beginning an
other season. A few stitches now
may save many later and will be a
great help in making the busy sea-
son just little less busy.
The prairie farmer has long since
stopped buying wood for winter fuel
because the price is out of reach, but
the price cord wood still scars. Is
not this a pretty strong hint that
planting trees in out of way places
would be the right thing to do?
The young man who is planting a
windbrake for his future home is
making mistake if he does not in
clude a few nut-bearine trees. That
four or five rows of evergreens
should be planted goes without say
ing, but walnuts, hickory nuts and
butter nuts will more than pay for
the land and labor.

Mitchell News.
One of the latest exploits to attrac
the attention of automobiles alon,
the Pacific coast was that of l. L
Berge, formerly of North Dakota bu
now living in Spokane, WASH, wh'
drove his Model T Mitchell across tn,
Rocky Mountains, covering more thai
1900 miles of the steepest and rock
lest highways to be found in thi.
country.
"There were several-persons who
advised me not to try the trip" sale
Mr.. Berge, "but having driven my
car over 1000 miles of Dakota roads
l had great confidence in it and with
two of my friends essayed the journey.
We had hard pulling through the
gumbo soil until we reached Havre,
Mont, especially through the Milk
River valley. From Havre to Helena
we followed the route of the Great
Northern railway and then we took
the road along the Northern Pacific
railway to Missoula. The latter
stretch took us through some big
canyons where the scenery was fine
but the going was steep. We crossed
the great divide about 60 miles east
of Missoula.
"It is certainly great sport to ride
for hours up mountain side in car
that walks right along and never gives
a minutes trouble. At the top of the
divide we encountered some heavy
snow drifts but got through them
with little labor. After crossing the
divide the road dropped us to point
that was lower than where we started
the climb and then we sped through
Hell's-Gate canyon and reached Mis-
soula right side up, the Mitchell never
HllSSlllS SlIOke.
Leaving Missoula to the southeast
we headed for the Flathead river and
followed this stream for several miles.
When we crossed it we entered the |
Flathead reservation and had another
range Of mountains to climb. After
going up hill through the mud for Is
miles we struck good roads and start
ed down the other side. We turned
off the battery and coasted for eight
niles to Plains, Mont, where we
spent the night. From there we
raveled to Thompson's Falls where
We had another river to cross and
more mountains to climb. We had

A famous sculptor declared that he
considered that the rule did not apply

not on the wane. 1t is probably due
to the increasing popularity of outdoor
sports, hockey, cycling, tennis and 9TH

is better. her complexion clearer and
her eye more limpid. This, of course.

NEW CIVIC
CLUB MAY
Be STARTED
Movement on Foot in Ham
mond-to Organize a New
Commercial Club and Put
It on a. Plane With Other
Civic Bodies Of Region.

There is a proposition on foot in
Hammond to organize a new CONNER
ciai club. provide it with new quarters
and put 1t on the plane with other live
commercial organizations in the region
One of the features of the new com
mercial club Will be a fully equipped
grill room where the business men of
the city can take their noon day
lunches. take their friends out 10 din
ner and where noon day discussions of
matters of public and civic interest may
be had
Has Model.
This is along the lines of the Chi
cago Civic club, which has just built
a Eew six-story club house on Plymouth
court. and of which the prncpal feature
the grill room. where Chicago's Give
welfare is talked over from day to day
The business men of Hammond have
long felt the need of grill or restau-
rant room where they could take their
noon day meals and where, if the oc-
easion presenter itself. they could take
their business associates to talk over
matters cf interest
To Promote Membcrship.
1t is thought that the grill room
feature would be the. thing to give a
membership in the proposed new COM
mercial club an element of value that
such membership has not heretofore
had.
The grill room could be equipped for
$1,000 to $1,000 and a suitable chef
could be hired to run the cafe for what
he coulu make out of it consistent with
the serving of good meals and the pro-
vidnig of good service
Idea Makes Hit
The idea has fnade great hft wftn
number of the business men OF the
city and a site fer the grill room is
already under consideration. 1t is said
that this would mean the abandoning
cf the old Hammond Business Mems
association the scope of which has new
er been broad enough for greater Ham,
mond.
The grill room will also be used fol-
all civic or semi-civic organizations for
a banquet room, They will be able
