STUNNED BY THE MExICANS
Caves Supposed to Be Possessed by the Devil" Into Which None
 Willingly Enter.

Ancient caves in different parts of Mexico often contain the skulls and bones of former inhabitants. whether prehistoric or of later times. some times containing fine fashioned flint implements
 The natives. as rule. fear to go into these places. Do not enter. se- nor, they will say, as with Anglo Saxon lack of superstition you deter mine to explore them; some evil be falls those who meddle with the re mains of the dead
 And if they are prevailed upon to assist they cross themselves deYoutly before descending or entering. Weird tales they unfold afterward of men who have gone into such places and found their exit barred by some evil spirit. they themselves having been encountered dead and cold upon the cavern floor when discovered by their relatives, who had searched for the missing one,
 According to the peons, the scenes of murder or wickedness which may have taken place in such situations are enacted again to the terrified vision of the unhappy witness who had the temerity to venture into these places of darkness is an ever-present and active element of the poor Mexican s superstitious world"

COTTON BEING BLOWN AWAY
Use of Staple in Modern Warfare Is Something Enormous-Experts
 Give interesting Figures.

Cotton is being blown up now at faster rate than at any previous time in the histor. of the world The use of guneotten in up-to-date warfare is enormous, being used largely in the high explosives; for instance, the Eng fish cordite is 37 per cent guneot- ten.
 United States ordnance experts es- innate that every time one of the big 15-ineh guns of Uncle Sans navy goes off there is one less bale of cot ton, or 800 pounds. One discharge of the Pinch gun consumes 300 pounds of cotton
 Those same experts figure that it requires one pound of cotton to make one pound of guneetten. the loss in weight being accounted for in the treating of cotton in a mixture of strong nitric and sulphuric acid One of the estimates that 1000 GOO men on the firing line use up 10000 bales of cotton in a week in fairly active fighting, although guesses on that score are necessarily vague.
 Powder companies have been very large buyers of cotton.-Wall Street Journal

OFFICE EQUIPPED FOR FARM
Excellent Place to Entertain Business CaIers-AIso Suitable for Keep
 ing Account Books.
=rBy GRAIL R. FULLER

Farming is business and the man ager of farm is, or should be, busi- ness man Every city business man has an office because it has been proved an asset to his business. A few farmers have also tried it and proved it's efficiency.
 A few reasons why every farmer 1t :s no more than space partitoned of in the tool house, are as follows:
 l. Bulletins adapted to every phase of the farming business are now avail able and unless these are filed away, they are never to be found when varted
 z He often has business callers who feel ayerse to walking into the house and talking freely before the woman members of the family, but who are ' ease when alone with the farmer. An office fitted up eozily with stove aa1 chairs is fitting place to take taem. especially in cold weather.
 3. The time Is fast approaching when tGe successful farmer will know something of science, and an office CT den is q good place to make his experiments on soils or other mate rials. or to keep his samples Of fenc- ipg. soils or seeds.
 f There is nc farmer but keeps some accounts, more or less correct, according to the business ability of the man. He should have place to keep these account books Neatly printed farm stationery and a type writer in his office will help the farmer to find better market for his prod ucts.
 He cost of fitting a farm office can depend upon the inclinations of the man Il should contain a desk. prefer. ably rell tor on account of it's many drawers ard pigeon holes, an exten- sion of the phone from the house; shelves or cabinet for filing his books; pamphlets and samples; typewriter for bis own use and that of his sons and daughters; a stove and a table for his experiments. Other equipment may be added as needed

Some trains of thought go on wheels.
 Sweat is a great medicine for shift lessness.
 Look well to your well if you would keep well.
 Every farmers club and associa- tion loves a "jiner."
 Do it now-now This is the year of the great opportunity.
 Make records of all farm practices and make knowledge definite.
 If Folly were an old bag how we should all seek after Wisdom,
 When there seems so much to be said is a good time to say nothing.
 Don't sit in your easy chair and kid yourself along with that old tomorrow gag.
 Charge any man with being prom inent citizen and he will break down and confess.
 Every man in America owes his community month Of personal serv- ice every year.
 An epigram is a fool remark that people accept as gospel because it is easy to remember.
 And many man who thought he could set the world on fire turned out to be vet blanket.
 Opportunity knocks now and then for the most people, but 1t seldom bursts down the door.
 Success on the farm as rule comes not from luck or unusual land. but from the farmer himself.
 The tightwad never gets rich. He may gather some money and property, but it never does him any good
 The man who plans his work defi- nitely before he begins is the man who succeeds and goes farther with his farming
 The man who gives the most time unselfshly to public service, is the man who enriehes his life, which is the or,y true wealth.
 The meanest man is the self-styied friend or the farmer. Wno places one arm lovingly about his neck. while the other hand rifles his pocket
 Some men have such a penehant for putting into other peoples busi- ness that one is almost fed to believe that man sprang from the gJat instead of the monkey.

BUILT A MONUMENT The Best Sort in the World.

"A monument built by and from Postum," is the way an Illinois man describes himself. He says.
 For years l was coffee dinker until at last I became a terrible su1- ferer f.om dyspepsia, constipation headaches and indigestion.
 "The different kinds of medicine tried did not cure me, and finally some one told me to leave off coffee ana take up Postum I was fortunate In having the Postum made strictly ac- cording to directions on the pkg, so that from the start l liked 1t.
 Gradually my condition changed. The old troubles disappeared ana | began to feel we'll again My appetite became good and I could digest food, Now I am restored to strength ana health, can sleep sound all night ana awake with fresh and rested body.
 q am really monument built Dy Postum. for l was a physical wreck distressed in body and mind, and am now a strong, healthy man. l know exactly what made the change; 1t was leaving off coffee and using Postum.
 Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich Read The Road to We'll ville," in pkgs.
 Postum comes in two forms:
 Postum Cereal-the original form must be well boiled. 15c and 25c pack ages.
 Instant postum-a soluble powder dissolves quickly in cup or not Wa ter, and with cream and sugar, makes delicious beverage instantly. 3oc ana soc tins.
 Both kinds are equally delicious and cost about the same per cup.

ABANDONS ONE-CROP SYSTEM
Southern Farmers Are Being Taught Success-Adopt Hay. Hogs and
 Hominy" Slogan.

With assurance that the South has at last needed the hay, hogs and hominy" slogan, abandoned the one crop system, and set about earnestly to diversity her crops. southern boards of trade and commercial and industrial organizations of all kinds are busy advising the farmers how to adjust themselves to these new con ditions. says an Atlanta dispatch.
 Editors. 1ueators and lecturers have dinned into the ears of the farmers the idea that the South can grow as fine quality of hay as the West. With this idea in view an in yestigation was recently made. The farmers asserted there was no mar ket for the peavine hay.
 The commission grain merchants were then moved on. They acknowl- edged that they did not care to buy pea7lne hay, and gave their reasons. It was not cured properly, and. in addition, possessed a fattening quail ity which made 1t unsuitable for work animals. As a result the South has now a propaganda of education on how to cure and bale hay
 A rather unique plan for improv- ing the grade of southern cattle is being urged, and to this idea the farm CTS have taken readily.
 The county commissioners of every county in every southern state are urged to purchase thoroughbred sire of one of the best breeds of cat tie for the free use of the farmers of the country.
 Along this same line of diversifi. cation it is also proposCd that every southern town have . market day.
 While complete revolution cannot be expected in one year, the de- crease of nearly 50 per cent in the sale of fertilizer tags this year and the unquestionably large cut in cot ton acreage show tha King Cotton is tottering on his throne. The great est fear is that high price of cotton next year. due to the crop shortage. will plunge the southern farmer back to where he came from, to the unend. ing field of white.

TEST THAT NEVER FAILED

Among the old miners of Sfskiyou county man can get worse whisky at Sawyers bar han in any other place on earth. This is the belief of the gold-diggers of that section. and that faith is accepted as orthodox. says the San Francisco Call.
 Regularly every Christmas Billy X. foreman of the Orc Fino mine. takes his layoff down at Sawyer's. Once the superintendent asked him why he always selected that place for his va. cation.

 Well, cant you enjoy the sensation in any other portion of the country or state or continent2" asked the super intendent

 The purchaser doesn't know the in dividual-he knows only that the prod. uct with which he was "stung" came from a certain district, and as result all commodities originating from there come under the same suspicion.

 AnimaIs-Start Him Right.

There are many boys on our farms who are not having a fair opportunity to get a correct idea of the value of properly bred farm animals. Born and raised in the surroundings of the scrub animal he is not apt to develop any great enthusiasm or respect for the purebred animal.
 Encourage him to secure some pure bred chickens. pigs, calf or colt. He will learn their value and as he grows up will learn to love the farm and make a success of it.
