Don't Worry.-"Don't worry" was the
recipe for long life recently given by
an aged physician who had preserved
his youth.
Good advice, but impractical" you
say. But did you ever give it real
trial? A person can't stop worrying
merely by saying, go to, now; am
not going to worry any more" The
more he thinks about stopping the
more impossible it is to stop.
There is a way though. Don't con-
sciously try to stop worrying, but get
interested in something else.
If you have something to worry about
and give yourself the opportunity you
will do lot of worrying. But If you
keep busy you won't give worry a
chance. When a great sorrow comes a
person may simply abandon himself to
it by letting his other interests lag. But
by looking about for something to alb
sorb his attention he can put himself
in a wholesome frame of mind.
Worry can be fought the same way.

More Than LiksIy.-Some time ago
while she was still Princess Margaret
of Connaught, the crown princess OF
Sweden, who had been holiday making
paid a series Of inccgnito visits to the
Aldershot military hospital in order
to learn something about nursing and
first aid"
: One of the doctors at the hospital,
not knowing who she was, was rather
inclined to patronize her. Wanting to
know something more about her, he
remarked one day:
I'm sure 1 must know your people,

Possibly you have met my father"
suggested the princess.
Its more than likely" he said con-
fidently. Whats his name?"
THE Duke Of Connaught," was the
quiet and totally unexpected reply

LARGEST IN UNITED STATES
Big Missouri Farm Makes Yearly Pro.
fit of 100000.

Near Tarkio, Missouri, Is the largest
tillable farm in the United States, the
property Of four children Of the late
David Rankin. It contains $4,000 acres
and last year there were under culti-
vation $4,000 acres in corn, 5000 each
in wheat and oats, and $500 in alfal-
ia. At $125 an acre the land alone is
worth almost $3,00O,000. The profit on
the entire farm for one year recently
was 100000.
The farm makes speciality Of cat
tie for which practically all the grain
grown is used. Five thousand cattle
were fed on the farm last year. 1t was
a theory Of David Rankin, and 1t is be-
ing adhered to In the operation Of the
farm today, that many farmers sell
too much raw material and not enough
of the finished product. To an inquir-
er he said once: 'T find II profitable
to feed corn, and gain an immense
amount of fertilizer. Thus leave my
farm as rich as found it."
Horses and mules are not permitted
to grow old on the Rankin farms Ev-
cry year a sale is held there where ev-
cry horse and mule that has reached a
respectable age is disposed of. Practi-
cally every year the stables are filled
with q fresh population Of work ami
mails insuring the maximum of eff
cheney. At the last sale 357 horses
and mules were sold and the proceeds
Of the sale netted more than $25,00O.
Buyers come hundreds Of miles to Tar
kio to attend these sales.
No manufacturing concern in Amer
lea keeps closer tab on its business
than do the Rankin farms. In little
office about IL by IA feet, in the rear
of the First National bank Of Tarkio;
two clerks and an adding machine are
busy with books from one years end
to the other. The farm Is divided into
ten ranches ranging from $40 to 4,760
acres. Five ranches are operated on a
partnership basis, the owners furnish
ing the land against the labor Of the
partners. 50
A record of every transaction on the
farm is kept at the central office. Not
a pound Of soap, not box Of matches
is bought without q requisition, sign
ed by the foreman Of the farm. Each
foreman and partner must submit a
monthly report which Is virtually an
inventory Of the whole area and Of
stock and machinery. When the books
are balanced at the close Of the year q
statement is made just as complete as
any business corporation could sub
NIT.
The farm is not as large by more
than 1000 acres as it was when David
Rankin died in 1909. One thousand
acres were sold last summer and 1000
acres a year ago. One Of the axioms Of
David Rankin was: Never sell the
farm" But the heirs Of Mr.. Rankin
are trying to make the farm more
compact, so that it can be operated
with greater economy. Eventually it
will probably be reduced to about 49,
900 acres and divided among the four
heirs.
But If the Missouri farm acreage has
been reduced, the loss has been made
up in other states. The Rankin estate
recently bought $500 acres Of land
near Liberal, Kansas, and about 5000
acres near O'Neil, Nebraska.

What a Great BIessing.-Lawrence

that happened in one Of the western
states. Some time since certain ru-
raj preacher who was more or less un-
SOPHISTICATED, was invited to a dinner
given by an esteemed citizen at his
handsome country home.
During the dinner milk punch was
quietly placed at the plate Of each
guest, and the good dominic, Ike the
others, quaffed the delicious beverage
with evident pleasure. --

marked the dominic as he set his drain
ed glass upon the table, that should
congratulate you on the great blessing
that Is yours"
Il don't quite get you, Mr.. Jones'" re-
turned the host, wonderingly. ITO what
are you particularly referring?"

SPOKE FOR HIS CITY

The Jacksonville Metropolis of
Tuesday has the following:
Mayor ]. d. Robertson of Ocala was
in the city this morning talking over
the possibility of his city becoming the
capital of Florida after the division of
the state, which he feels sure is COM
ing.
He said he was not here on business,
but merely TO see some of his old
friends, and, of course. was in the very
best of humor.
He is a natural born booster for his
home town He said: "Ocala is a city,
with more than seven thousand six
hundred people living there, and it is
the Invest place in the state for its
size. We are the center of one of the
greatest phosphate Industries in the
world, and in addition to that we ship
out the only real fine cantaloupes in
the state. We have then moving now,
and by the last of this week they will
be moving in carloads, and in another
week they will go out in trainlOads.
The city is full of buyers and as the
season has been superb for the lusci-
Gus fruit, good prices are being OBJ
tanned I. o. b. Ocala. Our men do not
believe in shipping out to commission
merchants. 1t is too costly in the long
run, and they get better satisfaction
by selling and collecting at home"
Dir; Robertson says that Irish pota-
toes do not appeal to the growers in
mis- section. The cost Of production is
foo high, the dangers of loss through
unreasonable weather too great, and
other things go to make Ocalaites leave
the potato to other sections.

Florida lost a good friend and the
world a most useful man when Henry
NJ Flagler died at West Palm Beacn
Tuesday, after a long illness, which
was rather the natural failing of his
mental and physical faculties than the
result of disease.
Henry VI. Flagler was born in Canaan
daigua, y. Y, eighty-three years ago.
He was a poor boy, the son of a Pres
Dyterian minister of modest means. and
worked his way to his place among
the worlds richest men by the sheer
force of his industry and talent.
He came TO Florida thirty years ago,
and was at once attracted by it's beau
ties and possibilities, and all his life
after that was principally given to de-
Veloping the latter.
He united the scattered links of the
east coast railway system, and extend
ed ii to Miami, he built or improved
the chain OF east coast hotels, and
finally extended the East Coast Rail-
way along the keys and across an arm
or the sea to Key West.
1t is on this last undertaking that
the fame of Flagler will last for dec
AIDES if not for centuries. 1t was a
greater work than building the pyra-
of pyramid building FIagler would
have been enthroned by posterity
among the gods. The Egyptian kings,
assuming to themselves the place Of
deities, drove hundreds of thousands Of
slaves to build the useless pies of
stone that stand SCARED but intact
thousands of years after the names of
their builders are forgotten, but it is
to be hOped that the name of the AM
erican citizen who paid good wages to
the labor that constructed an useful
highway thru the iungles and across
the sea, will be preserved for ages in
the records of scientific attainment.
IN all his work, Mr.. Flagler showed
good business sense. He built to please
himself and not for gain, but. not with
extravaganza nor ostentation.
Mr.. F'1agler was always plain Am
erican citizen. Until advanced years
weighed upon him, he walked and
talked among his fellow men as SIM
ply as the poorest of them all. He was
always apprOachable and generally
genial Like all rich men, he was af-
fiicted with sycophants, but had the
rare good sense to know and shun
most of them. His charity was broad
and generally useful. He founded
many good institutions, and how many
he helped it isn't likely that he could
have told If he would.
The world will heap flowers on his
bier, and then forget him, as it does
with all from whom it can expect nc
more benefits, but many sincere friends
will mourn and remember him until
their own powers of memory fade.
