HERE'S A
GOOD One

In dictionary published in 1754r
we find this definition of fountain
pen: "A pen made of silver or brass,
contrived to contain considerable
quantity of ink and let it flow out by
degrees. To use the pen, the cover
must be taken off. and the pen a little
shaken. to make the ink run more
freely
All of which goes to prove that
some fountain pen manufacturers have
made small progress in 100 years.
for their pens still have to be a
"ittle shaken" before the ink will
begin to flow.
You never see a Conklin user jig
ging and bouncing his pen to get the
ink started. A Conklin writes the
instant it touches the paper.
That 5 one of dozen good reasons
why we handle the Conklin pen ex-
elusively.

Mr.. Hop Grower:

What about your hop tickets for the
harvest? 1t may be little early to
think about it, but the early bird
catches the worm, you know.
The Observer would like to print
them for you. 1t has the facilities
to turn them out with neatness and
dispatch, guaranteeing the price to be
as low as the lowest. If you order
tickets now, they will be in hand when
you are ready to use them.
Mail us a copy of what you want,
and we will print them forthwith and

j. j. HILL ON WAGES

James J. Hill, discussing the Flu
ture of Our Foreign Trade" at the
National Foreign Trade convention
here, intimated that the United
States might be in danger of running
into such widespread industrial dis
tress as England now found itself,
from attempting to hold the market
against competitors while maintain
ing wage scale that does not per-
NIT her to meet their prices, and
DOES not occur to capital an induce
ment to enter new fields of develop
ment.
Hill said that German country is
contemplating English markets be-
cause of English manufacturers in
ability to change working conditions
in conformity to general conditions,
and the United States was following
England's example. He said
Power of the English trades
unions became practically arbitrary
in fixing wages, hours and general
working conditions. Germany found
that with an advantageous wage
scale she could get into the world s
markets at prices England could not
meet. Hence the enormous growth

virtue of its situation with respect to
markets, schools, and towns, and the
accessibility of these.
In dealing with this matter of in
creased farm values from a strictly
economic standpoint, it has been
pointed out and it is worth remember
ing, that where farms have advanced
in value the advance is due essentially
to decreased hauling costs. The ad'
vance in farm values, in other words.
measures partly the increased value OF
the farm as plant for the business OF
farming. That increment of value
which is due to those things that are
described as social advantages or i'm
proved social conditions has no nu-
merical measure.
When his road is improved the land
owner appreciates the improvement
and frequently sets an increased value
upon his land. 1t is difficult, however,
to analyze the entire increment OF
value which follows good roads. There
is no doubt that the cost of good
roads is met by some form of taxa
ton which, in many instances, causes
the land owners to add to the selling
price of their land that amount which
they estimate the good road has cost
them in taxes.
This process is more distinctly OBJ
served in city property transfers,
sidewalks, and pavements are invari-
ably added to the original cost of the
property. The important point that is
becoming more and more understood
by land owners is that good roads re-
quire a considerable investment Of
capital, and furthermore that such an
investment is paying one. Here are
few instances of actual conditions
which have been observed in various
parts of the country
In Lee county, Virginia, a farmer
owned 100 acres between Ben Hur and
Jonesvlle. which he offered to sell
! for $1,000. Two or three years ago
this road was improved. and although
that farmer fought the improvement,
he has since refused $4,000 for his
farm. Along this same road tract
of 1873 acres was supposed to have
been sold for $4,000 The purchaser
refused the contract and the owner
threatened to sue him. After the road
| improvement, and without any i'm
provements upon the land the same
farm was sold to the original purchas-
err for $4,000.
In Jackson county, Alabama, the
people voted bond issue of $250,000,
for road improvement and improved
"a per cent of the roads. The 1900
census gave the value of all farm
lands in Jackson county as $3.50 per
acre. The selling price at that time

TEACHING A COLT TO WORK
Walking Gait, Most Essential In
Heavy Work, Is Most Often Neg
Iected In Training.

Not enough care is given to teach
ing colts to work. We often hear Of
breaking colts; but there Is little
breaking to do with the modern draft
colt. They do need to be taught a
few things, such as backing with a
load and standing quietly when
stopped How many accidents occur
from the team starting before they
are told to start, and 1t can be avoid
ed usually by proper training.
The walking gait Is most essential
in heavy work horses, and yet it is
often neglected in the training, says n
writer in an exchange. So many young
horses know nothing about backing.
for little attention is paid to this ac-
complishment in horses, and yet It
Is often very necessary that the team
understands how to place the wagon
in position in this manner. 1t should
be done, not by pulling the animals
back by main strength, but by talk
ing to them, accompanied by a gentle
pull on the reins.
A colt properly trained is worth
considerably more than one with little
or no training on account of greater
ease in handling, and great amount
of work accomplished with less risk
to both driver and the animals. It
would be time we'll spent II more at
tention were given to these matters
by farmers and horse dealers.

HANDLE HORSES IN PASTURE
Good and He Can Exercise and
Roll at Pleasure.

Just as soon as the grass In the pas
ture gets good start take care OF
your horses when you come in from
the field at night-that is, water and
feed them, pull off the harness, rub
down the sweat, wash shoulders, etc.
and after horses have eaten their
feed turn them into pasture, leaving
the head stalls on. The green feed
will do the horse good and he can ex-
ercise and roll at his will
In the morning take a lead with
snap attached to one end, and basis
of feed to the pasture; call the horses
around you and they will come and
eat from the basis in your hand. Then
snap the lead into the ring. After a
few days you will have no trouble in
catching most of the horses. Never
chase horses around the pasture, try
ing 3 catch them, for If you do they
will soon think you their enemy,
says writer In an exchange. Lead
them to the barn and feed the same as
if they had been stabbed. They will
eat but little hay. By the time you
are ready for the field the horses will
be In good shape.
We have used this method in caring
for farm horses and find that 1t saves
both feed and labor. 1t does not take
so long to clean the horses In the
morning. as they will have done this
for themselves fairly we'll by rubbing
and rolling, and there are no stables
to clean, no bedding to put down. no
manure to haul out, while the horses
will stand the knocks much better
and come through the summers work
usually in fine condition. To those
who have never followed this plan
would suggest a seasons trial, and in
my opinion you will find 1t prefer
able to any other method.

IMPROVEMENT
INCREASED VALUE OF LANDS
Advance Is Due Essentially to De-
creased Cost of Hauling Different
Farm Products to Market.

1t is a matter of common observa-
ton that, when any community has
passed from a condition dominated by
bad roads to condition which Is
characterized by good roads, land val
ues in that community advance, 1t Is
plain that no system of good roads
can directly improve the soil fertility
or the quality of farms. 1t is equally
true that good roads can and do d.
rectly improve the site value, or the
value which accrues to the farm by

was from Sc to SIS per acre. The
last census gives the value of Jack.
son county farm lands as 1919, and
the selling price is now from SIS to
$25 per acre.
The price of farm land, like that of
any other commodity, is ruled by the
relation between supply and demand.
When the price OF farm land advances
it measures a readjustment between
the supply and tie demand. This re-
adjustment, In some cases, is sharp
and immediate. One distinct item of
increased values Is becoming more
evident from year to year; that Is,
immigration into the rural districts
where road conditions are favorable
especially is this true with regard to
owners OF automobiles There are
repeated instances Of this kind in New
England and those states which have
been active in improving their roads

the water freezes the extra pressure
that would otherwise be exerted on
the walls of the tank, instead acts on
the air in the bucket, which is COM
pressed, and thus the tank is relieved.
