Imagine a charming little woman,
dainty and unassuming, acting down
in the center Of a lumber camp filed
with rough and ready men with no
idea of law and order and a habit OF
settling their difficulties with their
fists! Now picture the trouble and op-
position this tiny mite Of femininity
would encounter in attempting to IN
force laws for their better government,
and you will have some idea Of 1.-The

The treatment he receives there, how

NOTES FOR N

Dc not rely upon the oral guar
antee of any agent who sells you
something as to it's quality or condi-
ton. Such guarantee Will not be bind
ing on the principal unless it was duly
authorized, and this. is often very diff
cult to prove.
Do not depend upon a mere. oral
guarantee in any case. 1t is always
difficult to prove, and witnesses are
generally forgetful and Indifferent. 1t
is easy to put a guarantee in writing
which fixes the responsibility without
other evidence.
Do not depend upon the guarantee
Of a firm or company as to the con-
dition or quality Of things sold to you
unless you are satisfied that the firm
or company is financially responsible
and that it's general course of dealing
Is honorable. The same caution is ap-
plicable when dealing with private in
dividuals..
Do not be persuaded against your
better judgment to sign a note as sure
ty FOR a friend. In the language Of
Solomon. "A a void of understand
ing striketh hands and becometh sure
ty In the presence of his friend" And
again. He that is surety for q strang-
er shall smart for It, and he that hat
eth suretyship is sure
Do not give your promissory note
TO a stranger for something which he
promises to deliver to you IN future.
He may be neither honest o 6nan-
cially responsible. He may. sell your
note before It is due for a valuable
consideration and fail to deliver the
neEeEthalass be
liable for the amount Of the note.

THE EARNINGS OF FARMERS.
Many Do Not Correctly Estimate Their
Incomes.

Many Do Not Correctly Estimate Their
Incomes.
The money that a farmer takes in
each year above his cash expenses is
an income from two distinct sources
first, interest IN money invested in the
farm business; second, wages for the
labor and managing ability Of the
farmer and his family. r.@ /
Many people who think that they are
financially successful as farmers are
actually living on the interest from
the money invested in the farm bust
ness and on the labor Of their sons
and daughters. For his own work the
farmer frequently receives only a frac-
ton Of a hired mans wages. The rea-
son is that when one has his farm
clear Of debt he often fOrgets that in
tereSt on the investment is a receipt,
similar to the interest that one receives
on a deposit in Il savings bank, for the
farm could be sold and the money in
vested so as to secur 4 to 6 per cent
interest with no work on the part of
the farmer. A farmer whose farm is
m%Ortgaged for a good portion of its
value is not at all likely to forget that
interest on the investment is a part Of
the years expense. If he does the
owner of the mortgage will remind
him of it upon each interest day.
A farmer who has a farm and equip
ment worth $4,000 could secure an
income Of $500 per year by selling his
farm and putting the money at inter-
est, assuming that he could invest the
proceeds so as to secure s per CEN in
terest.-W. L. Cavert, Assistant Agri-
culturist, University Farm, st. Paul.

FARMING AND HEALTH.

Health is worth much to peo-

it than farming. Farming re-

mental activity. Good health

Gets Ten-Round Bout on Points-Clergy'
man Acted as Master of
Ceremonies.

London, July Sired Welsh, light
weight champion of England, beat Willie
Richie on points in 20-round hght
for the lightweight championship OF the
world at Olympia last night
In the opening rounds Welsh scored
more points than Richie. In the NTH
round, however, Richie forced the fight
ing and in this and the next two rounds
there were some sharp exchanges and
heavy infghting, in which Ritchie gem
orally got the upper hand.
Several times the American was eau
toned for holding in clinches. In the
eighth round Welsh recovered his live
illness. When half the match was over
Welsh led easily on points, but the 18th
round was Ritchie's and in the 18th he
got home number of sharp blows, but
Welsh was clever in covering.
The final round was swift. Welsh had
the better of the 20 rounds of which ten
were undoubtedly Welsh's, five went to
Richie, and the other five were even.
Rev. John Hervey Boulder, vicar of
st. Michael's Anglican church, Isington,
acted as master of ceremonies at the
match. He is popular, burly clergy

INDIAN
HERO, FREED
After "a Years in White

AS INNOCENT
OF MURDER
His Story, in Song, Used as
a Lullaby by Black
foot Indians

Washington, July s.-After 81 years
behind the bars under life sentence for
murder, Spopee, Blackfoot Indian
was Internationally pardoned yesterday
by President Wilson. He will be re-
leased at once from the federal hospital
for the insane here to return to his
daughter at Browning, Mont, whom
he has not seen since she was a baby.
A Blackfoot party, sightseeing IN
Washington, months ago, happened upon
Spopee, grown gray with his long i'm.
prisonment. They established his trial
identity by an Indian song and one OF
the interpreters recognized in Spopee the
hero of an old legend, who had disap.
peared score of years ago into some
white mans Jail. Blackfoot mothers
have been singing their children to sleep
with song about him ever since.
Officials OF the Indian office, advised
OF the discovery, began an investigation
which resulted in his pardon.
Spopee was charged with the murder
OF white man near the Canadian boun-
dary north of the Montana line. 1t is
now believed that Spopee committed the
murder in self-defense.
