Nine monkeys were burned to death
the other day in indianapolis. TER
quarters were heated by an oil stove.
They managed to get out Of the cage
and initiated the motions of the keeper
as they observed him about the stove.
The imitation wasn't successful.
There's a lot Of such monkeying go
ing on. A considerable number of
people see some one who knows how
to do something and it lookse easy. They
simply see the motions. So they
monkey with things. And when the
fire bursts out and they scorch they
squeal. They didn't know how, hadn't
tried to learn how. merely knew that
certain motions were made in the OPP
Grafton and started m%onkeying.
Take a man who a worked at a
trade all his life and drawn wages until
he is beyond middle life. Say he saves
a little honey He sees someone else
doing fairly we'll in some small in
dustrial venture, or succeeding as a
salesman or something else that looks
easier and more profitable than the
trade he follows and the wage he
draws. If he starts monkeying he's
gone. Vt least the savings are. With
out knowledge of the game. unframed
and untitled for the new business in
which he invests his savings he pokes
here and opens that door until the ex-
plosion comes and another monkey sits
crying over burnt fingers.
Some fellows have a right good
chance. They 20 to school, perhaps t.
a tech school. They see the super
intendent Of the electrical corporation,
the chief of construction and the en-
gineer making good money. Soandso,
the head engineer, may get s1O,0 900 a
year. SO they take their course and
sti down waiting for some corporation
to come along and shove 500 to $1,000
a month in their hands. They're
monkeying. Those fellows who get the
big money know it all. They have been
uOWH III the QlICl IN the mud more
times than they have hairs on their
heads. They not only know how the
work must be done but most of them
can do it on a pinch themselves. They
know their business. They are not
merely making motions. No monkey
ing on their jobs. The big salaries do
not drop to monkeywork.
Any carpenter can take a contract.
But the successful contractor is not so
easy to find. You can't turn over a
chip and find one under it. Monkey
work doesn't go far in the contracting
business. Any one with money enough
can buy a store and stock it. 1t looks
easy to sit at the big desk and give
orders. But the figures say that more
than so per cent of business ventures
fail. The merchant can't money. Max
ing motions does not suffice.
Don't ponkey. If you know a thing
thoroughly You have the advantage OF
most men for most men don't. Stick
to the thing you know. Have a rea-
son. Don't monkey.

said the lawyer. and after the last of
the papers had been signed I asked
him. for. I was his intimate friend as
well as his attorney and we had been
boys IN the same country town, why
he kept on at the killing grind. Why
don't you quit and enjoy the leisure
you've earned? I suggested and he an
sWered that he wanted the money.
But surely l retorted. you can't
need so nue. 1t it's any OF my bus
mess, how much does 1t cost you to
keep up your home?" He answered
about $500 a year. He had the in
so I enquired why he wanted more
money. For my children, he answered,
and to my observation that giving
them a lot Of money was q sure way to
ruin them, he retorted that that was
a matter of opinion. Think Of the
power they will have with a million
dollars back of them he exclaimed.
No one in all this entire section Of
country will nave equal power and the
only way they can get 1t Is to have
the nom that buys it,"
The lawyer drew upon his cigar and
as he watched the smoke curl upward,
continued: "He had three sons and
three daughters. I never knew boys
with brighter minds than theirs. The
daughters were beautiful and accom-
plished. One Of them married a fellow
who heretofore had been Industrious
but who figured that his bride having
money enough for the two Of them 1t

and he hasn't worked since. Another
girl made a society match and her bed
was one OF modification and shame.
The third girl married a good man, but
they have not been blessed with any
children.
THE elder of the boys went away
to college. On his return he started
out to show the p~rovincials just how
red red paint is and how a town looks
decorated with 1t. He married a beau
tiful young girl, and to make a long
story short, he's utterly helpless now
from paresis. The second of the boys
considered that there were some pig
ments in the paint buckets his brother
hadn't discovered and the town had
never seen. So he utilized them in gX-
ing the town innumerable coats OF

speaking, he's a bum now; l don't

boy went the route OF the other two.
my client never doubted that he
loved his children" the lawyer went
on, "and neither did l. But his love
was tinctured with egotism, as his lust
for power for his children attests. In
tending to be kind, he was the unkind-
est of fathers. Today he's at the head
of his business, a one-man business,
and he's found in the son OF a washer

KEEPING CHICKENS.
rTama Herald

Probably il q vote could be taken
as to what constitutes the most
popular breakfast. bacon and egss
would win. Some OF the intellectuals
might possibly prefer fish balls. But
for the solid background of the average
workingman's day, a you beat bacon
and eggs?
So the present price Of hen-fruit,
breaking all previous records, is a ma
tional calamity. 1t seems inevitanie
! when you learn that eggs production
increased but % per cent In ten years.

COUNTY IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATIONS.

Improvement associations, CONNER
cial clubs and the like are common.
Every thriving and ambitious town and
city has them. But the Improvement
idea has out lately taken hold Of the
agricultural districts. Individual i'm
provement of course has been rapid in
h country but h community idea
has not until recently aiken serious
standing with the farm districts.
In Bennington. VT. the men Of the
county organized last year the Ben
nington County Improvement Associa-
ton. This was their program:
A better and more profitable agri-
culture.
Better roads, with a more efficient
system of road administration.
A more adequate system Of public
schools, which will a the small iso-
lated rural school to a higher plane OF
efficiency.
The development of home industries.
The Improvement Of sanitary and
hygienic conditions.
The promotion of adequate play and
recreation 1dclIllleS.
The fostering of a more evenly dis
tributed social life.
The furtherance Of all plans for civic
betterment and county Identification.
Now what did 1t amount to. First
they got a county farm agent thru the
United States department of agricul-
ture. put him in an automobile and
set him to work visiting farms and
making suggestions to farmers as to
soils, crops and methods. One result
of his has been the organization of the
Bennington Farmers League, a coop
erative buying and selling association
with branches in every township. The
school superintendent and teachers CO.
operated with the agent and boys
clubs are doing experimental agricul-
ture at the country school houses I'M
der the direction of the county expert.
Then a Selectmen's and Roadmas-
ters' Association was formed as one OF
the first activities of the county I'M
provement association. An expert from
the federal office of good roads was
obtained. who spent the summer and
fall Of 1912 and the entire season when
road construction a possible in 1918,
in the county. This agent assumed
advisory charge Of the construction
and maintenance of certain selected
roads in the various townships of the
county, work on which was paid for by
the towns and the state and is demon
strating how good roads may be built
and old roads made good and main
tained at the lowest cost.
Another thing the association has
lone: A graduate nurse was employed
by the County Improvement Associa-
ton, who made a house to house sur
vey of part of the county, covering
economic. social, moral, religious, SAM
tary and hygienic conditions. This gave
valuable information regarding the
needs Of the county, particularly rela-
tive to sanitation, the facilities for
caring for the sick, the things neces-
sary for the prevention Of disease, and
the sort of instruction in sanitation
and hygiene needed in the public
schools.

IOWA OPINION AND NOTES.

Senator Cummins has risen to q
position which make him easily the
leading republican in the senate. It
would be a very difficult thing to find
reason for attacking his record as a
party man in the senate since the
chaos that followed the brain storm
of cherished memory says the Carroll
Herald.
eff statistics proved what they are
often cited to prove. in this vase they
would prove Dubuque to be free from
speeding. The contrary, as everybody
knows, Is true. But until someone
near and dear to the police department
and the justices Of the peace is run
down-which Heaven forbid-police-
men won't make arrests and justices
won't convict" says the Dubuque Tele-
graph-Herald.
"Give the needy ones the clothing,
the warm apparel n the things need
ed" urges the Perry Chief. THAT is
an act which Soc smiles down upon
and holds as one the inspiration of
which comes from heaven. But the
JOY Of giving. the knowledge that
pleasure and sunshine has been
brought into the lives Of little children
and big folks as well brings heaven
down to earth and makes the great
world nearer to the Ideals OF Gods big
family"
Does President Wilson wish a
skirmish with Ex-President Roose-
welt 2" asks the Mt. Vernon Record. 1t
looks like it. for he fayors a presi-

With a presidential primary the bull
moose party would probably vamoose'

republican primaries. AS between him
and anyone else he could carry the
primary easily providing he could pull
back into the ranks OF the republican
party the millions who followed him
