Makeup Man In Rod Nixup

IN handling the slugs which make
up the lines in a newspaper, and in
separating the various items, the make
up man sometimes gets the lines mixed
up and they naturally read rather
queer As an illustration of what can
happen. we cite the mixup of the Ban

the printer got wedding and an auc-
ton sale mixed up with the following
results:
William Smith, the only son of Mr..
and Mrs. Jos. Smith and Miss Lucy
Anderson were disposed of at publf
action at my farm one mile east, in the
presence Of 70 guests, including two
mules and IL head of cattle.

No Patent on This

An Iowa farmer has devised a rat
trap upon which he claims no patent
but which anyone troubled with rats
can use. He purchased a big galvan
lied iron bucket-or garbage pail
and placed 1t in the barn. He filled Il
two-thirds full Of water and on top
of the water layer of chaffy oats an
inch deep. The next morning he emp
tied out mixture Of water, oats and
drowned rats. He rebaited his trap
and the next morning he figured re-
suits and found that he aimlessly but
with malice aforethought, gotten rid of
eighty-nine rats. He declares it will
rid barn in short time.

Who Does Your Thinkine

What is 1t that sets man above the
rest Of the animal kingdom? Is it not
the power to think? All through the
history of the world there have been
few great thinkers, and there have
been a great many who let some one
else do their thinking for them. Which
kind are you? Do you think for your
self? People who think for themselves
are human beings living on a high
plain; those who let others think for
them are living in a rut where preju-
dice. fogyism, superstition, fanaticism
and ignorance prevail The world ia
full of people who travel in a rut and
seem to like it, although it is close
scrouging.
The habit of thinking is not easy to
acquire 1t means that you must rea-
son. use the faculties of your mind
about things you see and hear. 1t
means cultivating an open mind. Its
means self control. 1t means that Won
refuse to accept the ready made thots
of others until you have analyzed
them. Are you letting some one do
your thinking for you? The next time
you notice yourself saying, 81 think
So-and-so," ask yourself the question,
Was that my thought or not?" We see
all the time men who think, controll-
Ing those who do not-in business. in
religion, in politics, in war, in every
thing the thoughtful man rules. Some
times and particularly in politics, he
rules selfishly. Very often he uses the
power he has to enrich himself at the
expense of those who do not use their
reason. A hired agitator, in the nav
of fanatics or extremists-whose mar
row minds objects to this, OF that, or
the other thing-plays upon the feel
ings of his hearers. The unthinkine
after listening to his TRADE, exclaim.
Hes right! l think there should be
law against it," Do you think, or
are you only rejecting the suggestions
of clever talker? The greatest show
man the world ever knew said. "The
American people like to be humbuR-
ged." He certainly knew what he
was talking about for he made for
tune in that business.

Iowa Is probably ahead OF other states |
at present but its lead ID threatened. |
Farmers are not naming their places |
for mere sentiments sake, although
that has q lot to do with the choice OF
nemes. The farmer recognizes the ad-
vertising value that good farm name
creates Charles Dillon. OF the Kansas
Agricultural College. pointed to this
feature when he said.
why don't you advertise Mr.. Far
mer? Get q name for your farm and
then advertise your farm by that name
Suppose you choose the name Fairview
Then buy under the name Fairview,
sell under the name Fairview, have
your butter marked Fairview, Print
Fairview on your berry boxes and
have eggs marked Fairview, paint
Fairview on your wagon boxes and
have Fairview printed on your letter
heads and envelopes. 1t won't be long
before the name of your farm Is known
and the people will be calling for your
products. The town merchant adver-
tises and the farmer can just as we'll
advertise his butter. eggs and produce.

1t Isn't Your Town-It's You

1t Isn't Your Town-Ifs You
II you want to live in the kind of a
town
Like the kind of town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grin
And start on a long long hike.
You'll only find what you left behind
For there's nothing that's really new
It's a knock at yourself when you
knock your town.
1t isn't your town-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise town from the dead.
And II while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one. too.
Your town will be what you want to
see,
1t isn't your town-it's YOU.
