Caution Is a very puny form Of NOR

filed out two blank certificates.
Doris Mayfleld." A sweet. simple
name, wholesome as the fair face Of
its owner! She whispered few last
words to Leslie: go back to your
land. You will hear from me-" Then
her escort returned. They left the
train together at the next station.
One week later Leslie returned to
his land. He had tired of the city, the
lure of the wilderness was too strong
a spell to resist. The town banker
met him.
II hope you have come back to
stay" he said. We need such men

banker. "The money is simply a
guarantee. and you can have ten years
to pay or the mortgage II you wish
it. and we will advance you whatever
funds you need to rebuild. No danger
Of your not soon cleaning 1t up"

On TALKING Too Low.

I'VE Americans are Of two kinds;
we either talk too loud or too low, par
ticularly in public places. A European
family will sit down in public without
feeling the necessity of putting mute
on the voice and retiring as though
behind wall. They are not noisy or
gay, they do not toot on tin horns. but
they say what they wish without low
ering the tone to that painful depth
which we mistake for cultivated
note. Let US be brave, and be our
selves; for nothing can be better than
that."--Louise Closer Hale. in Gen.

METZ CARS

agency he has placed 100 of them IN
Oklahoma. many of them coming here

SOME ADVANTAGES
OF SHEEP RAISING
Animal Produces Both Wool and
Mutton - Rapid Monetary
Returns Are Received.

A few sheep should be kept or
every farm as they will return good
profits with very little care or OK
pense. Some OF the advantages in
keeping them are:
First-The sheep is a dual purpose
animal. producing both wool and NUT.
ton.
Second-The initial expenditure is
small. Every farmer can well AFFORD
the investment OF the necessary cap
ital in few sheep.
Third-Rapid monetary returns are
received, the wool clip and the lamb
crop being salable annually.
Fourth-Expensive buildings are by
no means necessary. A warm lamb,ng
pen is required. but for the aged sheep
a shelter shed to protect them from
the winter winds is alone sufficient
Fifth-Weed destruction represents
another asset. Sheep will eat and rel.
ish almost every class OF weed.
Sixth-Sheep admittedly improve
soil fertility. Their manure is rich
and uniformly distributed
Seventh-Except at certain seasons
of the year. less lime and attention
need be bestowed upon the care OF
sheep than IN the case OF almnst any
other animal without thereby endan
geriIs successful results.

CERTAIN DRY FARMING CROPS
Flax Can Be Grown Successfully
When Used In Rotation System
Subject to Soil Disease.

CBy ALVIN KAYsER. Colorado Expert
ment Station)
Flax, next to winter wheat, is prob
ably one OF the most certain of the
dry farming cash crops Owing to the
fact that II is subject to certain plant
and soil diseases. fax cannot be con-
tinuously grown with safety upon tho
same land To be grown successfully
in a permanent system OF farming. It
must be grown as a rotation crop.
Where fax constitutes one OF the per.
manent crops It shouldn't occupy the
land oftener than one in four or five
years. When 30 alternated II is pos
sible to keep the land free from dis
eases. provided the seed fax is prop
erly treated with the formaldehyde
treatment to prevent the spread of the
disease through seed.
