Hitches Plow to Auto.

Nevada, Mos. H. Mellott
who lives in northeast Nevada

unique way of digging potatoes.

potatoes which were overgrown

trouble in accomplishing the
task. So he conceived the idea
Of hitching a pillow onto the back
of his Ford automobile and Sc
cured a man to guide it. The

Disavow.

London, Sept. 5.-The Allan
Line steamship Hesperian was
torpedoed at 500 o'clock last
night off the south coast of Ire
land, 100 miles west of Queens
town. Approximately $50 pas
sengers were on board, one or
two of them Americans. All were
saved, according to the latest re-
port issued by the Allan Line.
The crew numbered 25O.
The steamer did not sink, and
is reported proceeding under
convoy to Queenstown, to which
port most of the passengers and
crew were taken by rescue ships
summoned by wireless calls for
help.
Passengers landed at Queens
town asserted that the attack
was made without warning. The
United States Embassy here has
not yet received any information
on this point. The American
Consul at Queenstown tele-
graphed the Embassy, however,
that there were one or two Amer
leans on board, adding that none
was lost.
Amsterdam, Sept. 6.-Ger-
many will disavow the attack on
the Hesperian. if English reports
of the circumstances are fully
corrobrated by her submarine
commander, according to a dis
patch from Berlin today. V
Germany's explanation, the
dispatch said, will be that if a
submarine torpedoed the liner
without warning it was because
the U-boat had left it's base be-
fore the new instructions were is
sued through the admiralty.

Interest Ia Work.

That interest In ones work or calling
il essential to successful achievement 10
a trite and common saying; and yet the
fact must be kept constantly before Us.
Children, We say, must DO interested IN
their studies and books or they fall IN
approved attachments. Right here 10 to
be seen the difference between the old
and the new education. To-day the nat
ural activities Of the child are given en-
ployment. He is kept busy In doing
what he wants and likes to do. He is
led and directed rather than forced and
driven. Cultivation and training are en-
couraged along lines of natural tastes
and tendencies. Efficient life work
points to the spirit that inspires the best
educational thought of the day:
Is not the lack of interest and earnest
ness on the part of women, in the daily
routine of life the main cause OF many q
failure in housekeeping or home making?
Aud may not this fault, If fault there be,
be due largely to the old time ways OF
training for efficient practical life? We
must catch the spirit Of betterment in
the ways of living and make haste to
adapt ourselves to the new conditions.
1t is the duty, rather the privilege, OF
every one to cultivate an interest in his
work. Whatsoever thy hand findeth
to do, do it with thy might" is good ad
vice, and sound philosophy. We ad.
mlre the man who is enthusiastic and
in earnest even though he plead a poor
cause. But lively interest in ones
work and calling tends to lift the mean,
est of tasks from the sphere of drudgery
to that Of useful and noble serv ice. The
employee, who can say he just loves his
work, will not DO compelled, in all like
lihood, to ask for an increase in wage.
