ADDITION TO HIS EFFICIENCY
Business Manager Would Do Well to
Remember That His Personality
Counts for Much.

Hes really very agreeable outside
OF business hours" How often we hear
this remark about a certain type OF
man at the head OF a large enterprise.
He is the man whose office demeanor
is characterized by the GOODNESS Of a
SNOWFALL and the indifference OF a
stone.
In his desire to become efficient and
make every one about him the same
he squeezes every bit OF human feel
ing out OF his relations with his sub
ordinates and becomes a part OF q
working system, as dehumanized as
his filing system or his adding ma
chine or the typewriter which his
stenographer manipulates. During Of
fee hours he is a machine which die
tates letters, looks over reports and
develops efficiency. But-"he's really
very agreeable outside OF business
hours
This man needs to know that, his
ability being efficient, he becomes
more efficient as he becomes more hui
man. Just as a machine is more efh-
cient the more machine-like II be-
comes. He needs to learn that the

TO PREPARE ALFALFA LANDS
Making a Seeded Is Most Important

(By ALVIN KEYsER. Colorado Agricui-

The preparation OF the seeded is
the most important single operation
in the process OF getting a stand OF
alfalfa and keeping 1t. The blowing.
IL done in the spring. should be done
as long before seeding AZ possible. For
irrigated land the blowing should be
thoroughly double disked.
This should be done especially on
the loans and heavier lands. II not
done there Is a strong tendency for
more or less of n crust to form. The
result is a considerable loss OF filth or
proper physical condition. Often this
can only be restored by a season of
winter when the freezing and thawing
will break down the clods formed. In
order to thoroughly compact and pull

bowed to her with extra care.

said, "the %quaintest, dearest thing you
ever saw She taught my father his

Where the Red Road stretched level
before them, he threw the throttle
open for a long rush through the
.thymy-scented air. The light, late
afternoon breeze drew by them, sweep
ing back Katharine's graceful sinuous
veil and spraying them with odors OF
clover and sunny fruit. They passed
orchard clumps bending with young
apples, boundless aisles Of green,
young.tasseled corn and shadowy
groves that smelled of fern and sassa-
fras, opening out into more sunlighted
vistas overarched by the intense pene-
trable OF the June sky.
