IreIand's Slunposts,

ireland is the country for useless
signposts. During the last few years
there has been an outbreak Of Gaelic
League activity in the country. Among
other manifestations 1t has taken the
form Of erecting signposts with Gaelic
inscriptions. There Is one shch IN the
little village Of Omeath. in County
Louth. 1t directs the traveller to Car
lingford and to Newry-but 1t directs
him In an unknown tongue. 1t Is not
easy to see what useful purposes Is
served by such a signpost. For the
inhabitant knows his way without any
such assistance and the English
speaking traveller is unable to find 1t
unless he happens to consult one OF
the villagers, not one f'whom-so far
as / have been able to discover-can
either read or speak single word OF

WHITE SERVANTS GOOD WORK
Did Much Toward Building Up the
South In the Days Before the
Revolution.

Socially the white servant was an
important factor in helping to build up
a landed aristocracy in the south, De-
cause he made possible the cultivation
Of extensive areas Of land, declares
writer in Harper's Magazine. But In
the course OF few years he became
free citizen and owner OF q small
estate. Thus was developed a yeoman
class, a much needed democratic ele-
ment in the southern colonies, while
at the same time settlers were secured
for the black lands, where they were
needed to protect the frontier. Never
theless, they did not form distinct
class after becoming freedmen. Some
we're doubtless the progenitors OF the
poor white trash" Of the south, but It
q likely that environment rather than
birth was the main factor IN producing
this class. While comparatively rev

CHAPTER xl.

Higgins, erratic, demagoeio, often
vicious tempered. was. when oaco his
championship had been enlisted, an en-
thusiastic advocate. AS he himself hSa
said, his heart was I'm the right psace,"
and that morning, as he went through
the plant explaining that the young
new owner had decided not to sell out
to the trust, but would stand by Jones'
VILE, Jones Pepsin gum and those res
ldent in one and employed In manufac-
ture of the other. Broadway lost none
of merit through his defamation.
In that heart in the right place Hig-
gins had admired the way the smallish
city man had stood up to his five feet
ten OF Drawn and threatened to throw
him out of the building, discharge him
from the plant, and drive him from the
town IL he did not cease threatening n
woman. He was sorry he had lost his
temper while with Josie.
He had rushed through the great,
rambling buildings OF the old-fashioned
mandatory at high speed and high
enthusiasm. His manner had been
such that his mere appearance had
been signal for the stoppage OF the
wheels OF industry and the gathering
of eager groups about him to listen to
the news which one could not doubt he
bore, and when the nature OF tnat
news became known generally, the
much.relieved workmen, the working
women, and even the basket girls and
bundle-boys throughout the plant, be-
came instantly demonstrative OF great
Joy.
The first cheer. that which had
mercifully interrupted Claras inQui'
sition OF Broadway on the subject OF
his friend, was followed by another
and another as the news spread. A
gradual cessation OF the grinding roar
which was apparent, even in the oftice
building, when the plant was operat'
ing, showed that here and there
and everywhere machines were being
stopped BY those who wished to leave
them SO that they might hear the
news.
The ofIlce.bullding group stood spell
bound. listening. None knew what had
occurred. They might have been
alarmed had the uproar been less I'M
mistakably enthusiastic.
What is it," Mrs. Spotswood asked
excitedly.
81 don't know" was Josie's answer.
Clara certainly knew nothing OF the
nature OF what might be happening,
and none was further than Broadway
from a guess that what he had told
Higgins, in a sentence wherein anger
very freely mingled with the news OF
his determination to retain and OPP
crate the gum plant, could have been
accepted as good reason for such q
really notable demonstration OF the
Joy of gum makers.
1t was the Judge, at this instant
bustling in, who made the situation
clear to them.

ooh, don't be afraid" he assured
her. 81 meant exactly what said to
Higgins"
She sighed With real relief.
Il don't mind telling you. Miss Rich
ards, that when came here yesterday
my intention was to sell this business
and get 1t off my hands at any price
or sacrifice"
The mere statement OF this evidently
past and gone intention was a shock
to her. He noted, and not without
emotion-mind that: Broadway unmis-
takably was touched-that her face
blanched at the thought of that which
he had definitely decided not to do.
The young man was beginning to
think; he was forming some faint
realization of the fact that his own
troubleS were but somewhat unimpor-
tant bubbles in a sea made up Of
.everybody's troubles. The thought
was forming in his mind that. while
he had been severely worried about
ways and means for getting luxuries,
these people, here in Jonesville. who
had lived and probably would die with
out ever having heard the names Of
many OF the things his sybaritic soul
had learned to crave, had felt them
selves confronted by the possibility OF
loss of the necessities.
Indefinitely, but for the first time in
his life at all. he saw how grim the
struggle for O bare existence Is with
the majority; how, although they
strain and strive to their limit OF abil-
fly, they never feel quite safe in their
possession Of the means for getting It.
He acknowledged to himself feeling
of embarrassment as he considered the
undeniable seIfishness Of his previous
existence.
But he frightened visibly, as he
went on. He had learned his lesson
and had learned 1t thoroughly.
Carnegie couldn't buy the plant this
morning." he said simply, If he Of
fered every dollar he has in the world.

FOR BETTER BARLEY r
One Tyre Should be Grown
in a Community.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
The average yield of Barley for
1913 was 239 bushels per acre against
29.7 bushels for 1912. This shows a
decrease of 5.S bushels per acre for
the current year. The average OF the
last ten years has been about 25 5-10
bushels SO that the season just closed
marked a decrease of 1.6 bushels be-
low that average.
On November first the average
farm price for Barley was SAT cents
per bushel against 53.S cents per
bushel for 1912. The fact that much
higher prices have been paid for good
mailing Barley should be generally
recognized by farmers everywhere,
and when once known, will itself be
the proper stimulus for the produc
ton of better varieties of Barley.
Oderbrucker is recognized as one Of
the best yielding varieties, as well as
a variety especially adapted to malt
ing and peerlins purposes. The State
of Wisconsin is growing a pedigreed
strain of this variety in tremendous
quantities. Every Barley growing
locality would do well to study the
Wisconsin system, and use every eff
fort to have Barley of the best type
exclusively.
