II the concern where you are
employed is all wrong, and the
Old Man a curmudgeon, it may
be well for you to go to the Old
Man and confidentially, quietly
and kindly tell him that he is q
curmudgeon, Explain to him that
his policy is absurd and prepos-
ferrous. Then show him how to
reform his ways, and you might
offer to take charge of the con-
Germ and cleanse it of its secret
faults.
Do this, or if for any reason you
should prefer not, then take your
choice of these: Get out, or get
in line. You have to do one or
the other-now make your choice,
If you work for a man, in
heavens name work for him!
If he pays you wages that sup
ply you your bread and butter
work for him-speak we'll of him,
think well of him, stand by him
and stand by the institution he
represents.
If put to the pinch, an ounce
of loyalty is worth a pound Of
cleverness.
If you must vilify, condemn
and disparage, why resign your
position, and when you are out
side damn to your hearts content
But so long as you are a part Of
an institution, do not condemn
it.
Everywhere you will find those
out-of-job fellows. Talk with
them and you will find that they
are full of railing, bitterness and
condemnation. That was the
trouble-through a spirit of fault
finding they got themselves swung
around so they blocked the chan
mel, and had to be dynamited
They are out of harmony with the
concern, and no longer being
help they had to be removed
Every employer is constantly
looking for people who can help
him; naturally he is on the out
look among his employees for
those who do not help, and
everything and everybody that
is a hindrance has to go. This is
the law of trade-do not find
fault with it; it is founded on
Nature. The reward is only for
the man that helps. and in order
to help you must have sympathy.
Hooker got his promotion even
in spite of his failings; but the
chances are that your employer
does not have the love that Lin
coin had-the love that suffereth
long and it's kind. But even Lin
coin could not protect Hooker
forever. Hooker failed to do his
work, and Lincoln had to try
some one else. So there came a
time when Hooker was suped-
seeded by a Silent Man, who crit
icised no one, rallied at nobody
mot even the enemy.
And this Silent Man, who ruled
his own spirit, took the cities.
He minded his own business, and
did the work that no man ever
can do unless he gives absolute
loyalty, perfect confidence and
untiring devotion.
Let US mind our own business
and work for self by working
for the good of all

Fair Warning as to poinss In
Her Absence.

Harry Godfrey has granddaughter

den. Miss Three-Year-Old observed
the proceedings with interest. Pres

HOW TO IMPROVE LAMB CROP
Practice Of Allowing Youngsters to
Run With Mothers Until Breeding
Time 10 Objectionable.

Lambs should be weaned when from
four to four and one-half months old.
So says Frank Kleinheinx. shepherd
Of the University nocks, in answer
to numerous inquiries upon this sub.
ject.
Many fockmasters allow the lambs
to run with their mothers until breed
ing time. This Mr.. Kleinheinz re-
CARDS ~ very Objectionable for 1t an
noys the ewes and keeps them in poor
condition. Moreover. at this time the
lambs get but little milk and they
will really do better without It,
When taken from their mothers,
the lambs should be put on a piece OF
fresh pasture, which will help to
avoid much of the stomach worm
trouble.
After weaving time the ewes should
be put on a scant pasture for about
a week In order to dry them up quick.
ly. During this period they should be
MIXED few times to prevent the
udder from caking and as soon as
they are fairly dry they ought to be
placed on good pasture again. where
they will put on flesh and become
strong and vigorous before they are
bred In the fall.
Early weaving and good care Of the
ewes after the lambs are taken away
enables the ewes to go into winter
quarters In good condition, thus aid
ing winter feeding and insuring a
large crop Of strong lambs in the
spring.

Cure for the Halter Fuller.

halter rope. Run the rope through the
halter ring. but do not tie it to the
ring. Tie the loose end of the rope
to the manger in the usual way. When
the horse pulls the band will tighten
on his body. This, says Epitc mist, Is
SO unusual that it surprises and mys-
tifies him. II he has had the habit
long. however, he will try again. and
again he will be surprised. Gradually
he learns that he is not master of the
situation. His will is broken and the
habit is cured.

When my friend, DR.. Richard
Strauss. was drilling the Covent gar

English playing. Finally. at wild
and savage passage he raped sharply

"'You are all playing like gentle

Johnson Grass ExtermInators.

The Tunis sheep utilized in the
breeding experiments Of the Arizona
station farm have developed great Ell.
cheney as Johnson grass exterminators.
Director Forbes says that ITS of these
sheep were sufficient to keep down the
Johnson grass on five miles Of weedy
bitches during the entire growing sea-
son. They saved the cost OF ditch
cleaning and at the same time made
wool and mutton grow where one Of
the most stubborn weeds Of Arizona
had grown before.

was one Of company that was am

boy was shot in the right shoulder
and then in the left leg. AS he was

DENMARK.

Policeman Kitten of Aalborg Is one
of the best known and most popular
policemen in Denmark. His ability
to catch crooks has made him an
object of superstitious awe mong the
fraternity, whilo decent people expect
little short of miracles from him. A
recent incident shows how well he
is known and how he is looked upon
by the common people. A boy ran
away from the Boys home at Has
seris. Kitten picked him up and
brought him back. The principal OF
the school gave the boy severe re-
Duke, and in order to appeal to the
little fellows conscience he said:
There is one who always follows you
wherever you go. Can you tell mo
who that is?" The principal of course
expected the boy to know that he
meant God. But the boy promptly
answered: THAT is Kitten"
A large German steamer has been
blown up south of the Danish island
of Langland in the great belt by a
mine said to have been placed by the
Germans. Several of her crew were
lost. During the last fortnight two
large German trawlers and one Ger
man steamer have been destroyed in
this region. There are no Danish
mines in the waters where the disas-
tiers have occurred, as they were gath
cred up by a Danish steamer some
time ago.
During a recent storm the sea car.
ried away a wide strip OF The Skagen
shore line between Fyrbakken and
the lighthouse. The breakwater made
out of brush was all washed away, and
solid hill disappeared. Now that
this high ground has been carried
away the wave can easily extend the
work of destruction along the lower
ground. 1t is absolutely necessary
that the work of the waves be checked
before 1t is too late.
A peoples high school is to be es.
tablished at Store Restrup. A tenant
farmers union has paid $4,000 for a
piece OF ground and a building in
which the work is to be carried on.
The school will be opened next spring.
