That adage lived up to will prove the
tombstone to success. If a farmer
uses machinery he should when
through with it, even If he expectcs
to use it again in few, days, care
fully clean it and ry it and put it I'M
der cover. If he plants corn he
should be as careful in selecting the
seed as he would be in picking out
a new COW. If he is going to put in
potato crop he should select just
the right size sed potatoes and care
fully treat them for scab. His grain
and grass seed should cleaned and re-
cleaned to eliminate weed seer. All
seeds should be tested. In feeding
his hogs he should be careful about
the balancing of the ration. He
should give the chickens the same
care. So it should go all through
the farm and all through the year
This is the way business man
makes a success. 1t is the way for
the farmer to make success.
Care, care and then more care is
the price of success in any line of
work. Carefulness and willingness
to work hard and Systematically
make better capital for farmer to
start with than money. The money
is easily lost. The carefulness and
capacity for work are never lost, but
grow in power and results as the
years go by. Be careful and take

The mystery of the absence of Cap
tain George Williams, master of the
tugboat Chandler. who disappeared
from the tug while it was lying at tho
Pusey and Jones Company wharf on
the morning OF January 16, was appar-
emily solved at noon today when a

ination showed the man to have the
figure of two women tattoed ON his

here several weeks ago. The body was
also clothed in good underclothing
and the dead man wore a pair of
boots. When last seen Captain Will

lisbed by the features. Captain Will
