GIRLS LOOK HERE, 4
 BIG CONTEST IS 0N

Girls heres your chance. The Hege JeWelry company has aroused all sorts of anticipation in the breasts of fair ones throughout the city.
 In the windows of the Hege com pany, reposes d large and Voluminous chest of Alvin silver Of very pretty design. Back of the chest stands two very pretty girls or rather their pie lures, and of course they are talking, that is only natural Well it's this way, all one has to do is guess what the fair ones are saying, or rather write out a short story about what they are saying and the best answer gets the chest of silver.
 Now it's a very easy matter to guess what two young ladies would be say ing. They would either be elocuting about clothes. or mayhap the weather but most likely it would be about some nice good looking gentleman, or gentlemen.
 But a good tip along this line would be that they would be two purchasers of this celebrated line of silver and were undoubtedly talking about the grand bargain they obtained.
 Well anyway take a chance, it wont hurt to try.

NOISE
By George. Fitch


 Noise is disturbance in the atmos- phere which cOncusses the drum and causes the owner thereof to sigh for Q plasant home in a town which hasn't a commercial club.
 Noise is produced by dogs. locomo- tives, machine guns, babies, college students, cheap orchestras, politicians, locomotive whistles, scarehead news papers. volcanoes and other things.
 It is usually disagreeable and inven- tors often work all night trying to pro duce noiseess institutions of one kind tomohile as quiet as tombstone, but have not been able to do anything as yet for the automatic piano or the self made man who is trying to advertise the fact.
 A few noiseless politicians have been perfected in the last century, but as a rule they have been more fatal than the reverberating kind. A politician should be compelled to work with COW bells tied on him.
 About five years ago the noise was strained out of the Fourth of July with great success. We now have per- fectly quiet Fourth. and celebrate our national birthday by closing the banks.

other people are so noisy that they cannot read a religious paper without keeping the neighborhood awake by yelling for more quiet.
 This nation is very fond of noise and uses it at times with great success as a substitute for music, theology, states manship, advertising and argument. Of late years it has become impossible to feed in public without being assisted by noise. There are few stranger sights than that of a New York man yelling pleasantly at a guest across a table. while close behind him a re- formed boiler-shop worker is commit ting personal assault on a snare drum, a triangle, a bass drum and a Xylo- phone.

RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the di-
rection Of cultured, clean and COM
petent leadership. where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful, where art charges the at.
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive as well as the business OF
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character, so that the lives OF
our people can properly function
around it and become supplied with
the necessary elements OF human
thought and activity.

THE COUNTY FAIR
BY Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers Union


The farmer gets more out of the
fair than anyone else. The fair to a
city man Is an entertainment; to a
farmer II is education. Let us take e
stroll through the fair grounds and
linger a moment at few of the points
of greatest interest. We will first
visit the mechanical department and
hold communion with the worlds
greatest thinkers.
You are now attending a congress OF
the mental giants in mechanical sci
ence OF all ages. They are addressing
you in tongues of iron and steel and
in language mute and powerful tell an
eloquent story Of the worlds progress.
The inventive geniuses are the most
valuable farm hands we have and
they perform an enduring service to
mankind. We can all help others for
a brief period while we live, but II
takes a master mind to tower into the
realm OF science and light a torch OF
progress that will illuminate the path
way OF civilization for future genera
tlOuS. ne men WHO gave uS shO
sickle, the binder, the cotton gin and
hundreds of other valuable inventions
work in every field on earth and will
continue their labors as long as time.
Their bright intellects have conquered
death and they will live and serve
mankind on and on forever, without
money and without price. They have
shown us how grand and noble 1t is
to work for others; they have also
taught us lessons in economy and eff
cheney. how to make one hour do the
work of two or more; have length
ened our lives. multiplied our
opportunities and taken toll off the
back of humanity.
They are the most practical men
the world ever produced. Their in
ventions have stood the acid test of
utility and efficiency. Like all useful
men. they do not seek publicity. yet
millions of machines sing their praises
from every harvest field on earth and
as many plows turn the soil in mute
applause of their marvellous achieve
ments.
