" VERY time you strike a match
r. you contribute a wee little
L. mite toward the upkeep of a
farm that is probably the cost
liest in the world.
II you and others did not strike n
match now and then this particular
farm would not be. For the farm be-
longs to Ohio c. Barber of Barberton.
Ohio. and Mr.. Barber is the Match
King. He controls the manufacture
and importation OF about IS per cent.
Of all matches used in this country.
The consequence of this is that he can
have whatever kind of farm he de-
sires.
He wanted to own farm where
every item of equipment would be the
best that could be had, regardless Of
expense. So five years ago he bought
a 4fece of hnd and began to improve
IT, Since then he has spent on an
average more than $1,000 a day fix
ing things up. Besides that he has
bought a lot more land. until now his
place comprises some $500 acres. His
entire farm investment is believed to
amount to between $4,000. 900 and si.-
10000.
The mere mater Of expense doesn't
count at all. II better barn can he
built for 5000 600 than for $4,000 Mr..
Barber puts up 100000 barn. The
only difference Is in the set of nu-
merals to be jotted down by the book
keeper. Mr.. Barber wants to ascer-
tain how far he can go in improving
his farm. and spending money is
help to him rather than an obstacle.
Anna Dean Farm. which Is the
name OF Mr.. Barbers place, has a
concrete fence around ii that cost
more than 81 a running foot.
II might have got afong with a
cheaper fence" says Mr. Barber. but

The one hired rejoiced in the name
OF All Wo. The Chinese, with their
great genius for doing everything
backward, put their last name first.
In China it is johnson John. All is
the commonest name in China, the
Abs in China corresponding to the
Smiths in this country. All Wo was
a lovely servant for doing what pleased

In all the naval services tradition is
strong. As Chief Boatswain McCar-
thy, U. s. NJ has shown in an article in
THE Proceedings OF the United States
Naval Institute" the adherence to Gus
tom extends to the manner in which
the boatswain's calls are varied for
different occasions, and even, in the
old navy. at least, 1t extended to the
way in which the officers gave their
orders.
The language used in passing words
was the vernacular of the sailor rather
than academic English. and the officer
who did not know that usually got poor
results from the boatswain's mate, who
had his own ideas about passing the
word, and got muddled in interpreting
any unusual order.
On one occasion, the officer of the
morning watch gave this order:
"Boatswain's mate. scrub down with
rapidity." This was a new one, and
after causing the officer to repeat the
order three times. the boatswain's
mate become desperate He grabbed
