Crews Worked on Shares.

Right at this point struck a new idea.
About harvest time many farmers were short
OF money to pay for their labor. so I selected
ten crews to work on shares-their pay. I'M
derstand, was to'be a percentage on the har-
vested crop.
" OF course working In this way. we earned
twice as much money. 1t was simply a case
Of the farmers being glad to pay US q big
premium for waiting for our pay. This new
plan built the proposition to enormous pro-
portions. Its profits were so great that with
in three years my surplus earnings boughu
and paid for three of the largest wheat farms
In the northwest
My gangs increased Their earnings
increased. My farms paid a steady dividend
and grew In value. So bought more farms.
Finally the annual output of my wheat farms
grew to the point where bought a great
-four mill that was sold by the receivers.
Then I marketed Jones flour

Home. Il am Jones" and entering the IL
mousine. he departed
"Now, what do you think Of that?" said
the Average Man to himself. He scratched
his head. Still thinking, he walked back down
the path toward the car line.

How Big Bakery
Saves$25a
ByG. w. STEARNS.

~HINK Of saving SIS day on custard
pies. That's what one Of the largest
pie baking concerns In Chicago does.
This particular firm makes approx
mateIy 5000 pies Of various kinds
In connected with the manufacture Of custard
pies. because the ingredients used in making
them cost more than for any other pie.
A saving Of SIS day means $50 a week.
or $500 year. and this is effected without
deterioration in the quality of the pies. In
fact. the firms business has materially in
creased since the system was inaugurated.
and its customers declare the new product Is
far superior to the old
Every housewife knows that custard pies
consist largely Of eggs. milk. sugar, butter.
etc. and that eggs form the principal Item
of expense About 1900 eggs are required
in making 5000 custard pies every day, which
is the quantity made by the firm referred to,
and a saving Of SIS means approximately
LOCO eggs. figuring their cost at IS cents a
dozen
1t is by using fewer eggs that this. saving
OF SIS day is made. Without giving the
matter any thought. the average person
would declare: Why. that's SO simple a
child could have figured 1t out" Very true
but would child discover a way of making
custard pies that are even more appetizing
with fewer eggs than they were when nearly
twice as many were used? Right there is
where the real economy comes in. Any one
can cut down expenses. but il requires ex-
traordinary -bility to do so in a way that
will not affect the quality of product, or i'm
pair the business facilities of the firm or in
dividuaI
Business economy that is based on any
other principle than efficiency Is wrong. II,
by reducing the number Of egssused in max
mig 5000 custard pies. the bakery had sup
piled It's customers with an inferior product
the result would have been disastrous. 1t
would have meant loss Of business. But in
stead the firm produced pies so much better
than those which cost more. that its Gus
toners increased their patronage without
knowing they were getting product which
Melted the bakery SIS more a day than II
formerly received.
How do We do it, repeated the head Of
the firm in reply to the same question.
" That would be telling trade secret which
We can't afford to divulge. But 1 don't mind
saying that 1t was only accomplished after a
great deal Of experimenting. Naturally
every bakery strives 20 produce the best
possible pies, cakes bread, etc, at minimum
expense. but it isn't often that such a large
saving can be effected as the SIS a day we
realized through our new process"
This is only one instance Of practical saw
irg. but the principle applies to every line
of trade. There are financial leaks in every
business and the real test Of efficiency is in
locating and stopping them No matter how
small the loss in each individual case the
aggregate wiz loom Up in big figures at the
end Of yeaz and there will be z correspond
ing sh-irt1age in profits. which might Just
as well have been OF the other side Of the
ledger.

framing Is Of steel wire, as Is the axle, and'
the skid of rattan OF an eighth of an inch
round. From the axle run two wires back TO
the tail. to stiffen the main stick.
At the front end of the stick is an angle
piece Of sheet iron, or brass. arranged as
illustrated and tied in place with thread.
A hole Is drilled through the upright arm
Of this piece. and the propeller axle runs
through the hole.
This axle, or shaft is Of steel wire, also.
with a hook on the inward end, and with the
other end running first through the hole in
the front iron angle, then through glass
bead, on through tin washer. and finally
into the hub Of the propeller. After pass
ing through the propeller the shaft is turned
back on itself. so that when It turns It viii
turn the propeller.
The propeller itself Is a thin, two bladed
windmill, cut out Of a light straight grained
pine stick, one inch wide and one-haIf inch
thick. the length being eight inches.
The blades o; the propeller should not be
over one-sixteenth Of an inch thick, and at
the outer ends they are bound. to keep them
from splitting. This is done by gluing q
thin strip Of silk over the ends.
The rubber bands should run between the
hook Of the propeller shaft to a wire hooked
at the rear end Of the main stick as N the
drawings
The wheels are made Of wire. or Of paper
disks with cork hubs and should be a. light
as possible.

they are far from being the best.
The draft blowing back from the propellers
gives the front wings an extra lift. so that
when the motor of a big machine stops. the
front end of the machine drops and the pilot
cannot fly until he has gained higher speed
by dropping than he had when the motor
was running. The pilot can take care Of this.
but the model cannot. The rubber motors
have more power on the start and continually
weaken as they unwind so that model Of
this kind must be steered up pretty straight
at the start. It will then describe a down.
ward curve, generally landing on its nose.
Flights of several hundred feet can be
made with models Of this kind, however and
the one shown has flown over 100 feet
In this type of flyer the wings are set far
Their back than in a big machine, because the
weight of the rubber motor is not all at the
front as in a big machine, but is distributed
along the whole length of the body. Thus a
gap of seven and one-half inches is shown
between the front of the main stick and the
front edge Of the wings. This distance is not
absolute, however, and can be determined
more accurately after the machine Is I'm
ished, when. by slipping the wings fore or
aft and trying a fight. one can quickly tell
just where II should be.

Force of Character.


The French author OF :" The Crowd shows

only on the lower level Of action or thought
The revision to the primitive seems to be a
very natural thing for mankind. Whatever
force of character has been given him It
might seem was given him to prevent this
constant tendency seen in both animals and
plants to reversion like that of the pansy
back to the Johnny jump-up.
Circumstances are likely to be all embrac-
ing-people, things, and their infinite combi-
nations conspire to make or unmake man.
They may even seem to have adamantine
qualities, but John Stuart Mil says, saw
that though our character is formed by cir
cumstances our desires can do much to
shape those circumstances: and that what

of free will Is the conviction that we have

The overcoming Of hostile circumstances
is valiant business. but It Is muscle, and
