COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATIONS.

That the range of the functions of

trade is materially broadening is indi-
Gated by bulletin just issued by the
bureau Of foreign and domestic COM
merce, department of commerce, in
which some of the activities of COM
mercial organizations in 25 southern
and western cities are described.
Nearly every commercial organiza-
ton has some line of work In which
it has proved especially successful, or
which it has taken up because of con-
ditions peculiar to its field. 1t is
these lines that the bulletin describes
in more or less detail. 1t describes,
for example, how the chamber of COM
merce in Atlanta, Ca. launched and
carried to a successful conclusion a
campaign for a $3,000,000 bond issue
to provide municipal improvements;
1t describes the freight-record service
in Houston, the permanent exhibit
system in Los Angeles, the inspection
bureau work in San Francisco the
cooperation between commercial or%
ganizations and the state of Oregon,
the charity endorsement and taxation
bureaus in Seattle, the garden contest
system in Spokane, the park improve
ment campaign in Denver, the study
of the good roads problem in territory
tributary to Minneapolis, etc. No at

SCHOOLS TEST FARMERS SEEDS.

If Oklahoma has bumper crops this
year it will be due in considerable
measure to the direct aid rendered the
farmers by the schools. Throughout
the state the teachers and pupils have
been systematically testing seeds for
the planters in their respective COM
munities, according to information re-
ceived at the United States bureau of
education. Every teacher in the state
has received from State Superintend-
ent Wilson a scoring sheet on which
to record the tests. Seed from last
years crop is reported to be particu-
larly unreliable, and agricultural ex-
perts say there is special need this
year for some such direct service as
the schools have offered.
mo movement has been started in
our state which can result in as much
good with so little cost to the people
generally" declares Mr.. Wilson. 1T
will not only be financial benefit to
the farmer by teaching him to plant
none but good seed, but it is of dis
tinct educational value to the chill
dren. 1t furnishes one of the best les
sons that can be taught in botany or
agriculture, and affords the opportun-
ity to come in closer contact with
every farmer in the community.
thing which all good teachers are
anxious to do
IF the tests are properly made and
the information followed by the farm
ers, the results should be remarkable.
The lessons taught can be applied
year after year and constantly i'm
proved upon, until the time will come
in Oklahoma. as 1t should come, when
no seeds of any kind whatsoever will be
planted until they have first been test
ed If the schools, through their teach
ers and pupils. can bring this about,
they will have fulfilled one of the
greatest missions for which they are
supported by public funds-that of
making bTeadwinning easier"
Oficials of the bureau of educa-
ton point to Superintendent Wilson's
experiment in Oklahoma as an i'm
portant example Of what the schools
can do to make the contact between
education and the real life of the CON-
munity in which the school is located.

GIVES 1000 BOOKS TO LIBRARY OF CONGRESS

one hundred manuscripts. many Of
which bear early dates and can be
several "incunabula" Fifteenth CEN
tpry books) of Importance.
While supplementing the former
collection in several respects, the new
one has also its individual features
and characteristics. There is an ex-
ce1lent collection of Jewish melodies
and songs, accompanied by notes and
a fine collection of books and periodi-
Gals printed in Palestine. OF especial
note is the extensive representation of
the products of modern Hebrew litera-
ture.
This branch of Hebrew literature,
generally known as "Haskalah," start
ed with the Mendelssohnian period
and has developed since the time
when the Jews were allowed to par
ticipate in the life and culture of the
European nations. This literature,
which is still fiourishing in some coun-
tries, is mostly written in elegant,
modernized Hebrew and embraces the,
various subjects covered by the west
ern culture of today.
Combined with the numerous He
brew and Yiddish books formerly In
the possession of the library. the two
collections presented by Mr.. Schin
form an excellent foundation for the
Semitic division, for which an organiz-
alton first was provided in the appro-
priation act effective last July. There
seems a prospect that this division
will develop into one of the most not
able collections in the United States
for the study of Semitics.

The king had soon noticed this vio-
lation of the royal edict against the
wearing of what he calls immodest
gowns at court balls and Immediately
ordered the culprit escorted from the
room. This modesty may seem rath-
er unique coming from Belgian mon
arch. but the present ruler is vastly
different from his uncle, King Leopold
II, whom he succeeded on the throne.
Since King Albert's accession the Bel
gian court has done with scandals and
has assumed an air of strict propriety.
And the court was badly in need of
cleansing. When Leopold sat upon
the throne the principal events in the
little kingdom were the court scan
dals.
While his early married life seemed
to be as happy as is usual with kings,
it wasn't long before Leopold demon
strated that he held his marriage vows
more lightly than was the custom
among European monarchs of his
time.

POTATO CROP OF THE WORLD.

Out of a total of 5.945, 200 bush
els, the worlds crop for 1912, Germany
produced 1874 .863,000 bushels. or 81
per cent. says the department Of ag-
riculture.
It is remarkable that the immense
Russian empire, with 8,291,429 square
miles, produced only about three
fourths the quantity of potatoes that
Germany produced on her 20S,7SO
square miles, while the United States.
with 3,026,789 square miles, produced
not quite one-fourth the German crop,
although the area under potatoes in
the United States was nearly half the
potato area of Germany, and the Rus
sian potato area exceeded that of Ger
many by nearly 100000 acres.
The explanation is to be found in
the fact that only % per cent of the
German potato crop is used for human
consumption, while the rest is used
in the arts and for stock food. For
the last-named purpose nearly AZ per
cent is used, showing that Germany,
with very limited area of pasture
land, has to depend largely on gar
nered produce to feed her live stock
The steady increase of the German
potato crop, with practically station
ary acreage, shows the possibilities of
intensive cultivation.
BY comparing the production of 1911
with that of 1912, for the principal
countries, it is seen that the former
was a lean year, the latter a fat year.

30 well and favorably known in the
market that the native prefers them
to all others. In this respect condi-
tions are very similar to those in the
Red Sea markets. The native always
prefers American gray sheeting and
is willing to pay slightly more to get
it, but when the margin between the
price of European and American
goods becomes very wide there is a
demand for the former. Italy in par
ticular has been making a strong eff
fort to get larger share of the trade,
and has been partly successful.
The foregoing facts are from
bulletin on the cotton goods trade of
British East Africa, Uganda, Zanzibar
and German East Africa issued by
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, department of commerce.
The bulletin was written by CONNER
cial Agent Ralph M. Odell, and is the
first of series of three giving the
results of his investigation in East
and South Africa. Zanzibar is mainly
a transhipping point. but its trade
will continue important until the
smaller coast towns on the mainland
are linked by railroad.

SUMS UP THEORIES OF LIFE IN TEN WORDS

as to the ordinary duties of life-the
best way to live SO as to be happy.
and create happiness.
1T is surprising" she says, how
many blessings each of US have II we
will only make the effort to look for
them. II we are as persistent in our
search for blessings as some people
are in hunting trouble, the blessings
will SO overshadow the sorrows that
we can bear them without undue de-
spondency."
Most people have notices. Some
have them on the walls of their
homes; others have them in their
hearts. Some live up to them, but
many do not. Mrs. Kenyon keeps her
motto In her heart, and makes 1t the
guide post to her everyday life. AS
for the first part of it, counting the
blessings, she is willing and ready to
talk. But as to the latter, doing good,
1t remains for others to do the telling.
Mrs. Kenyon, who is a blonde, is the
personifcation of optimism. 1t would
be hard, indeed, to find any one more
ready to laugh, more anxious to look
on the bright side than is she.
Nor is this a pose with her. She
needs no Billiken or even Kewpie to
lend an air of happiness when she is
around She is just naturally full OF
the joy of life and 1t would require
confirmed crouch. indeed, to with
stand the sunniness of her nature.
AS for the last part of her motto,
her concert of doing good is that it
needs no accompaniment of brass
band or trumpet, and that the little
kindnesses which lie just beyond ones
door should be done as quickly and
Willingly as the big opportunity, which
hangs forever just on the horizon line.

Simple though 1t may sound. the
problem is difficult. Every one has
ideas on life and how to live. And,
usually, every one is willing to i'm

But it is far more than a ten-word
sign post on life's way that they paint.
The real difficulty lies in condensing
the ideas and theories into the speci-
fled number of words.
At least one woman believes she
has found the answer. Here it is:
Count your blessings. and do all
the good you can"

SHOW SMALL PROFIT
Returns From Rented Farms
Only Nominal.
Agricultural Department Refutes Be-
lief RuraIite Residing in City and
Leasing Land Is Plutocrat-
Corn Belt Data la Given.

Washington.-Popular belief that the
farm owner who lives in the city and
rents his farm is in the class with
prodigal plutocrats was given a Sc
we're Jolt in a bulletin Just issued by
the department Of agriculture, which
shows that the average return from
rented farms is but 31a per cent on the
investment. The size of the farm
seems to have no effect on the per
centage
The bureau of farm management
which developed these facts studied
several hundred farms in Indiana, ILL
nois and Iowa.
States in the corn belt were chosen
because they excel almost all other re-
gions in wealth of farm products. In
this section modern machinery, with
more horses and fewer men, has made
the farm less than 100 acres an in
efficient unit" Further readjustments
are constantly taking place to lessen
the number of persons needed and to
increase the net productions of the
farm.
The average labor income of the
farm owners operating their own
farms was $40S for the year studied
and $S70 for the tenants. These fig
ures are obtained by deducting 5 per
cent Of the capital investment from
the income. AS the tenant has
smaller capital investment his labor
Income is proportionately larger.
Strangely enough, the farmers max

big farms, but they fail through in
efficient management. Poor crops. low
prices for products sold, poor stock,
failure to work and unused capital are
given as the main causes contributing
to their failure.
The income of the farmer who owns
his farm is in direct proportion to his
capital and the size Of his farm. Men
owning small farms often materially
increase their incomes by renting addi-
tional land. The tenants income is in
direct proportion to the risk he as
sumes.
On the cash rent basis, his income is
greater in good year and less in a
poor year than when he rents on the
share basis. Approximately one-third
Of the total farm expense is for labor,
and for this reason the ''family-size"
farm is the most desirable that is,
one which provides just fair amount
of work for the farmer and his sons
and permits the best use of men,
horses and machinery.
OF the crop farm" where so per
cent of the total farm receipts are de-
rived from the sale of grain, and the
live stock farm, where the farmer
feeds most of his crops, the latter
proved a much better investment.
though the fact that they were usu-
ally larger than the crop farm" con-
tributed something to this result But
the average labor income Of the crop
farmer who owned his own farm was
but $2S per farm, whereas the average
live stock farmer under similar condi-
tions had labor income of $3.50.
