Water.

Water was first discovered and
investigated by Noah, who succeed
ed in living on it for for forty
days.
Most men admire Noah for his
bravery, but very few have any de-
sire to break his record.
Water is one of our most useful
and necessary possessions. With.
out it the earth would be a desert
and worthless, stocks would only
yield a beggarly 6 or 8 per cent and
mankind would curl up and die. A
great many men avoid water and
try to get along with a substi-
tute which they claim is just as
good. But their widows and cred

The editor of the Hillsboro. ILL.,,
News was attacked by some of his
readers because he carried liquor
advertisements in his paper. He
confessed to the act, but assigns
two reasons herefor: First, because
he needed the money, and he got IS
cents line for it. Second, he de-
sired to ascertain whether his es-
teemed brothers and sisters read
his paper. Both his curiosity and
cupidity have been satisfied. He
had talked of the evils of intemper-
ance, devoted much space to the
religious and temperance organiza-
tons, given the preachers compli-
mentary notices, but no intimatiOn
had ever been given that his efforts
were appreciated or even read. Now
he knows that they are, and con-
Ciudes that while all classes of bus
mess men are permitted without
criticism to do business with a sa-
loon keeper, the country editor is
not. He must be holy, undefiled,
separate from sinners and keep him
self unspotted from the world"

The people will pay off, Feb. /,
$4,000 a per cent railroad bonds.
These bonds are not due until Feb.

value, thereby saving interest for
one year. This leaves the outstand-
ing bonds against the county $780,
600, payable from 1918 to 1918. All
interest on bonds has been paid to

Use the Stable Manure.

At this season of the year there
has accumulated on the average
farm more or less valuable manure.
The late fall, before the piles freeze
is good time to haul them out on
to the land where they will do some
good. Generally speaking, meadow
or pasture is the best place to ap-
ply this manure. This is especial
ly true where the rainfall is light.
Trashy manure applied to land and
plowed under often does serious
damage to the succeeding crop. 1t
does not decompose readily without
a considerable amount of moisture
and heat The furrow slice is left
separated from the subsoil by the
layer of coarse material and capil-
larity partially cut off, Consequent
ly a decreased yield results and the
application of manure is con-
demDed.
If applied thinly and uniformly,
about ten loads per acre, to sod land
this danger is avoided, no matter
how coarse the manure. The rains
and SHOWS wash out the soluble
constituents and carry them into
the soil where they are available as
soon as warm weather comes and
growth starts.
Some will hold that the particu-
lar soil they are tilline is inexhausti-
BILE. Don't fool yourself into be-
lieving anything of the kind. Every
crop taken off the land removes a
part of the fertilizing elements and
unless these are returned in some
form, the fertility of the land slow
ly but surely decreases. Therefore
haul out the manure piled about
your stables, and not only improve
the appearance of your premises.
but improve your land as we'll

There is an Unlimited supply of
water on the planet. but most of il
is badly seasoned and is unfit for
drinking purposes. There are five
great oceans containing $50 mil
lion square miles of water and sur
rounded by two hundred thousand
miles of sea beach, giving room for
two billion bathers at one time. And
yet a great many people in this
world are no cleaner than they
should be.
Water is very thin and transpar-
ent, except in the Chicago and Mis-.
souri, rivers. 1t is very restless and
is continually climbing up into the
sky and falling down on baseball
games and picnics, and new millin-
cry. Water is very gregarious, and
loves to collect in ponds, rivers,
lakes, CULTS, oceans and corpora
tons. 1t 10 very unstable, and the
man who tries to wander around
in it without a life preserver soon
sinks and dies from swallowing too
much of it. Too much water is
just as fatal as too little.
Water is used for running steam
engines. making soft drinks, soak
ing soiled citizens, increasing the
supply of milk, putting out fires.
making Baptists and insulating
Americans from kings and dukes
and Waldorf Astors and James
Hazen Hydes. Among the most
noted collections of water in the
world are the Great Lakes, which
are one thousand miles long over
all and entirely drinkable; the Mis-
sissippi river, the father of waters;
the Great Lake, the Dead Sea and
Wall Street. Niagara Falls and
Old Faithful Geyser are the two
most athletic bodies of water. the
most industrious water is the Colo
RADIO River which, has burrowed its
way six thousand feet into the ribs
of the earth. The most imposed
upon water is the Chicago River
which was turned around, loaded
full of sewerage and made to run
backward. The most restless water
is the Missouri Rivor. which changes
its bed every night. The most neg
lected water is found in Kentucky
where it is not used for anything
but storing catfish. And the most
over advertised water in the world
is Minnehaha Falls. which only falls
when a stout man in overalls turns
on a spigot and begins to pump

There are two reasons, fellow ed
itors, why we should not rend our
shirts over the ambitions of Messrs.
Folk and Clark. One is that we
twice lost the state because of aei.
tations like this. The other is that
neither gentleman has sufficient
chance to warrant such q waste of
temper and space. When we used
to fight for party principles and
leave the candidates to fight for
themselves the road to victory was
always wide open. Speaking for

DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK2
If You Read This Article Through
You Will, And If You Are Young
You Will Think Twice.

Did you ever stop to think that
you do four things, just four and no
more? You think; you remember;
you imagine; you act. When'you
learn to think better, remember
better, imagine better or act better.
you are increasing your efficiency,
and, therefore. your income You
may feel that you are very succe7s-
full now. Suppose you are; il isn't
a question of what you know, but
of how beneficial practical bust
ness education will be to you in
addition to what you already know.
You will agree with us that to vio-
late part of the laws of business
means partial failure. and to violate
all the laws means complete failure.
You are also aware that to observe
part of the laws of business means
partial success, and to observe all
the laws means complete success.
Our aim is to help you observe
higher per cent of the laws of sue
cess, and. therefore, enable you to
be nearer the maximum success.
The late Prof. James of Harvard
declares that the average man only
uses ten per cent of his brain pow
er. Suppose you are twice as capa-
BILE as the average man? Even that
would mean you are only twenty
per cent of your maximum posi-
bilities. The purpose of our course
is to produce a maximum of pro-
ficiency with a maximum effort.
Did you ever stop to think that
eighty-five per cent Of the men of
this country are only earning SIS a
week or less? That ninety-two per
cent fail in business between the
ages of 40 and so? That ninety.five
per cent have no money at the age
of 60? We have been very success
full in getting men out of the eighty
five, the ninety-tWo and the ninety
five per cent class. Why not let us
help you? We have been marve-
lousy successful in raising salaries,
as is conclusively proven by the
letters in our catalogue from former
students. The business world want
thinkers and doors. There's fam
Inc of high priced men today; there
are thousands of men worth a
thousand dollars a year, but only a |
few worth ten thousand year. Be
the latter kind of man; you can if
you will We know that man is
worth only about $500 day from
the chin down, selling muscle, but
as high as hundred thousand dol
lars year from the chin up, selling
brains. Be chin upper and sell
the higher type of brains; you can't
afford to be a chin downer; there's
no room for such a man. Take our
practical course of Book
keeping, Business Training, Short
hand and Typewriting, or Telegra-
ply, learn how to think, to remem-
Der, to imagine and act. Our large

whose maiden name was the same as
that of the man she married; and on
