Don'ts for the Wise Girls.

To the following ''Don'ts' for the
protection of girls who are alone, we
are glad to give publicity. The list
was prepared by the New York Y.
w. c. A.
Girls should never speak to strang-
ers, either men or women, in the
street, in shops, in stations, in trains
in lonely country roads or in places
of amusement.
Girls should never ask the way of
any but officials on duty, such as po-
licemen, railway officials or postmen.
Girls should never stay to help a
woman who apparently faints at
their feet in the street, but should
Immediately call policeman to her
aid.
Girls should never accept an invita-
ton to join a Sunday school or Bible
class given them by strangers, even
if the strangers are wearing the
dress of sisters or nuns or are in
clerical attire.
Girls should never go to an ad-
dress given them by a stranger.
Girls should never go with a
stranger, even if the stranger is
dressed as a hospital nurse, on be-
lieve stories of their relatives having
suffered an accident or having been
taken i'll suddenly, as this is COM
mon device to kidnap girls.
Girls should never accept candy,
food, glass of water or smell fiowes
offered to them by strangers. Meth
er should they buy scents or food or
candy at their doors. Any of those
things may contain drugs.
Girls should never take situations
without first making inquiries
through a society active or affiliated
in a travlers' aid work.
Girls should never go to any large
town even for one night without
knowing of a safe lodging

Following is an extract from an
article in Farm and Fireside about
an Illinois farmer who, on 100
acre farm, has developed many in
eenious and sensible methods, par
ticularly along the line of hog rails
ing. Following is an extract from
the article.
About thirty years ago Mr.. M.
N. Bear, a young man just making
his start, purchased 160-acre farm
near Pennington, Illinois, about
midway between Peoria and Gales
burg. The price he paid for his
acres was $500. Today, reckoning
by the standards of recent sales in
the vicinity and the condition of the
farm, the same acres are estimated
to be worth close to $4,000.
Sin part this advance is due to a
general growth in land values, and
in part to improvements in equip
ment, but in a large measure it is
due to a persistent upward trend In
the returns obtained.
while other farmers near and
far were following the old rule of
buying more land to grow more corn
to raise more hogs in order to buy
more land to sow on, Mr..
Bear was developing for himself the
theory that it was good practice to
extend ones acres downward.
After doing that, there would be
time enough to look after lateral ex-
tensions. The consequence is that
his acres are more productive today
than they were when he bought
them, more productive than they
were ten years ago, is spite of the
fact that from year to year he has
compelled them to yield larger and
larger returns, until he has pushed
his annual income up close to the
$4,000 mark
