WORKSHOP FOR EVERY FARM
Good Set of Tools Will Help
Reduce the High Cost of
Living

Every farmer. so far as possible,
should do his own repair work. Ii will
save him both time and money to do
this. Altogether too mauy farmers in
every section, If there is only a slight
breakdown in the equipment, have to
stop work. drive &c town, have the work
done for them, lose half a days work
by doug so, besides being Obliged to
pay for the work done. Here Is a loss
OF both time and money. IL such a one
should provide himself with a few tools.
such as are necessary for doing the or
dina,y repair work on the farm. aud
should do his own repairing, he would
save where he now loses. Besides there
is a certain satisfaction in profiting by
ones own work.
There is an added advantage in the
fact that the youngster upon the farm
may then be taught the proper use of
tools aud may be trained in using them.
This will be n valuable addition to any
child's education. Some children de.
velop their minds better through the
development of muscular dexterity.
Boys Upon the farm can be trained to
saw In a straight line as well as hit q
nail squarely on the head. Most boys
are natural thinkers. but the results of
their efforts are generally TOO crude.
With a well furnished work shop on the
farm, they can be trained to do as nice
work as anybody, and to take pride In
doing a good job. This is the beginning
of good citizenship.
A good saw, a good ripsaw. a brace
with bits of various sizes, a couple Of
planes. q keyhole saw, al automatic
screw driver ard a drawing knife are
among the necessary tools for wood.
work. A small portable forge. a black.
smiths vice, an anvil and a machinist' g
hammer. with chisels and punches. q
essary sizes and taps and dies for the
various sized bolts are necessary for
the iron repair work on the farm. and
will save money and many n trip to the
black smith shop. One of the modern
improved carborundum grinders will
enable him TO d. the best kind of work
in the shortest possible time in keeping
all his edge tools in first class condition.
These tools are necessary on every
farm. may be had at prices within the
reach of every one. and will pay for
themselves over and owe again. The
farmer that has not them now should
procure them at once and should learn
to use them properly. They will help
him to reduce the high cost of living.

Since the services of a Receiver of a defunct bank have been
reckoned as being worth at the rate of SIC, 900 a year for the first
year, and $4,000 thereafter, it may be presumed as natural that the
State University will install a chair for the purpose of properly ed
ucating Receivers and awarding a degree therefor. It's the high
salaries that the rising generation is after-Carson Appeal.
The Carson News comments as follows on the gambling ques-
ton: There might not be a bill introduced in the Legislature to
do away with the present gambling law but it is readily seen that
bills will be introduced changing it in such ways that it might as
well be repealed. Hefernan's bill takes the ban off of draw poker
and keno and probably others will have bills later on carving out
another slice from the prohibited games. When all are compared
it will be shown that the State is the loser and the gamblers the
winners. Why not go to work and frame up a good bill and be
done with the matter? Either place the ban on all gambling or
let the State be wide open.

HAD PREMoNITIoN OF DEATH
New Jersey Mans Fear of Coming
Disaster Laughed at by Comrades,
but 1t Was Verified.

John Hueselmans, superintendent
of a lumber yard in Harrison, N. j.,
started home after day of intense
worry through fear of impending dis
aster. His premonition caused several
of the workmen to deride him. John
BisselI of Newark led in the soothing.
AS Hueselmans was passing a 40
foot-high pile Of heavy timbers Bissell,
who was at work on top, uttered a
warning cry and leaped to the ground.
AS he did so the great bulk of lumber
swayed and toppled over Hueselmans
was buried beneath the mass and was
instantly killed Bissell, by his leap,
avoided the crumbling pile and landed
Just beyond the timbers. The fall,
however, resulted in his receiving nu-
merous fractures and he was removed
In a critical condition to st. Michaeps
hospital.
A crowded trolley car was passing
the lumber yard at the time. The pas
sengers, many. of them workmen on
their way home, rushed to the spot
and began moving the timbers. 1t was
half an hour before Hueselmans'
mangled body was extricated.

RoLLER-sKATE SAILS.

Have you boys ever thought of the
Idea Of making a sail for roller-skate
sailing along the sidewalk? Roller
skate sailing is almost as much fun
as sailing on ice skates, and with a
fair wind it is possible to spin along
the pavement at a delightful speed.
The common forms of ice skate sails
can be used for roller-skate sailing,
but they should be of smaller proper
ton SO they can be handled easily
and will not take up too much space.
Fig. 1 shows boy using square
shaped sail, and Fig. 5 shows a trian-
gular-shaped sail. The former sail OF
course has the larger area, but the
latter sail is easier to handle on &C
count of being smaller
The sail shown in Fig is 8 feet
wide and feet long. Cut the top and
bottom spars, A, 8 feet long, and the
center spreader, B, feet inches
long. Almost any lightweight, close
ly woven cloth that you find will do
for the sail covering. Perhaps you
can get an old sheet. Cut the cloth
SO the selvage will extend along one
edge, and hem the cut edge to keep it

ted lines in Fig 5. The sail may be
tackled along spar c in the same way
that the sail in Fig. is fastened, or
it may be dashed to the spar like
regular sails are dashed Gig. s.. For
flashing the sail you must either set
in metal eyelets along the edge Of
the sail for tapes to run through, or
sew tapes directly to the cloth. In
either case that edge of the sail must
be reinforced by sewing a strong
piece to it Gig. y. To the point of
the sail which fastens to the spreader
sew belt buckle, and near the end
of the spreader tack a piece of a
strap. Then the sail can be pulled
taut and buckled to the spreader. II
you cannot find a buckle, you can
| fasten rope to the corner of the
| sail and tie it to nail driven into the
end of the spreader, which will serve
the purpose if you tie a knot that
will not slip and yet be easy to unite.
In using this sail the spar is held
with one hand and the spreader
grasped with the other, in much the
same way as the square-shaped sail is
held Gig. u, and spar c is supported
Upon the shoulder. The sail is shift
ed from shoulder to shoulder and the
hand holds reversed, WITH a change
hin the direction of sailing, according
to which way the wind is coming
from.

BEST EXPRESSION OF THANKS
Live JoyousIy and Genuinely, Says
One Who DisIikes Formal Phrases
of Gratitude.

The best possible method of giving
thanks for the blessings of life is to
live ioyously and genuinely When the
flowers Of spring break forth in their
simple beauty because of the suns
rays they make the response of graft
tude. When human beings expand in
the richness and geniality of warm
hearts and sincere desires they, too,
are showing the supremest gratitude.
The sparkling air of frosty fall day
makes one feel good but feeling
good" is nothing else than a grateful
recognition of the atmospheric stimu-
lus felt in the blood.
1t may be that formal phrases Of
gratitude are not spoken as readily as
in earlier days. 1t may even be that
there is less informal phrasing of
grateful emotions than there was
when life was less complex and dis
turbed Quantitative comparisons of
emotions are hard to make and sure
to be inaccurate. Who shall say that
there is less genial and joyous living
today, or more sluggish response to
the warning spirit Of fellowship?
Mere laughing does not signify hap
piness, nor does the eager pursuit OF
commercialized amusements mean
true joyousness. But the Judgment OF
the capacity of humanity for thank
fitness must be based on wider evil
dence than the wretchedness wrought
by crime and poverty, or the cynical
pessimism OF those who have been
cheated in life's game, or the unhappy
restlessness of the wanderers in 8

Boston Globe.
