Broke The War Record.

There is in existence a very modest
man who, though now peacefully en-
ployed, has in his day seen fighting in
many parts OF the globe. His friends
know this and lose no opportunity TO
draw him out anent his thrilling war ad-
ventures. But the veterans modesty is
such that his tales are more than likely to
be colorless and disappointing.
Once some OF his friends interested
him and by artful subterfuge led the con-
versation straight up TO certain battle, in
which, as they knew, the veteran had
participated. In moment Of careless
ness he allowed himself 10 be trapped
into statements regarding that battle.
Whereupon, one Of his friends suddenly
said:
"You were in that battle, weren't you?'
"Ye-yes," confessed the veteran, much
embarrassed.
Tell us about your experiences on
that day." commanded one OF the gather
ing.
There was breathless silence. The
fighter saw there was no way out OF it.
"On that day." he began slowly, "at
conservative estimate
All leaned forward eagerly.

Facts Rhout Sow Beans.

A number of The farmers in this section
are interested in growing SOY beans, and
the following facts are SET forth as intor-
nation in the hope that many will make
a trial OF the crop this year. Soy beans
can have a place in our rotation by sub
stituting them for The first wheat crop al
Ter corn and then seeding the Soy bean
stubble 10 wheat. This plan will give
two legumes in our rotation instead oil
one. The seed is worth atthis tire s. %
per buShel. The crop can be grown upon
a moderate soil either for roughage or Tor
the seed. The West Virginia Station has
late bulletin on the subject which says
Soy beans have higher protein con-
tent than oil meal, pound for pound.
You can grow 20 10 30 bushels Soy
beans per acre on poor ground.
One bushel Soy beans contains as much
digeshble protein and as much digestlble
fat as six bushels OF cats, or four bushels
OF corn meal, or six bushels corn and cob
meal.
Ground Soy beans are greedily eaten
by all stock, are easily digested, have a
tonic effect whether fed by itself or mixed
with other feed.
Soy bean hay cut before beans have
ripened is greater in value OF protein and
fats than alfalfa hay.
Soy bean straw and hullS, from which
the ripe beans have been threShed, is
equal in value Of protein and fat content
to clover hay. Fed 10 cows will cause an
increase flow OF milk.
Soy beans will make two 10 four tons OF
hay per acre.
Soy beans cut green and packed with
corn for silage Il part SoyS 10 ) parts
corn, will make perfect ration OF much
more value than corn Siage alone.
A HANDFUL SoYs fed 10 horses each meal
will keep hair and hiie in perfect condi-
ton.
Colts, sheep, and stock can be winter
ed on Soy bean hay alone.
The unthreshed vines fed 10 hens will
bring about early and sustained winter
egg production.
Corn and SoyS grown together can be
hogged down with convenience and profit.
An acre Of Soys will produce as much
meat as two acres OF corn.
Soys can be grown on land too poor
and too acid TO produce clover.
Soys are Iegume and gather nitrogen
from the air. Your soil will improve
while producing crops OF valuable feed.
There is nothing better TO pillow under for
rapid soil enrichment.
Planted in Coz. Soys will aid the corn
crop rather THAI turlail 1t. The nitrogen
gathered by the Sols becomes available
10 the corn.
Wheat following Soys yields 70 TO 80
per cent better than when il follows oats.

A Poor Investment.

Beguiled by the attractive wording Of
an advertisement appearing in a trade
paper, trusting investor from the North
bought sawmill in the White River bot
toms OF Arkansas. When he went down
10 take over his newly purchased proper
ty and 10 assume IFS management the re-
cent owner met him atthe railroad station
and babe him welcome.
AS they climbed into the natives bug
gy TO drive through the woods TO the spot
where the plant was located, the stranger
said :
"a wish you'd give me few hints
right off about how TO run this business
proftaby. You see, Pm little bit green
at this line. I've been lumber dealer
all my life, but never undertook TO han
die the raw material before"
"Well, mister" stated the Arkansan
frankly, 81 wish could give you the adj
vice you want, but reckin jest don't
know myself. Ny fatherinlaw died and
left me this here mill his will. My two
boys helped me TO run 'er, and there
wasn't no other hands, so never had to
pay out nothin' for wages. stole all the
timber cut, and my stepbrother, who's
the division freight agent for The railroad,
used to slip all my lumber out for me, so
| never had 10 pay no freight charges
and last year come out $500 behind. "

Could Not Stand The Test.

would you talk like that if God were
here, and you could see Him as plainly
as you see me ?" said a minister 10 a
young man whom he had surprised in a
paroxysm OF profanity.
"WelI, sir" retorted the swearer, de-
family, "if you mean TO imply that | am
a coward"
mo-" said the minister, al mean Moth
ing OF the sort, and il is because you un-
doubleday possess courage that am going
TO make TO you an unusual proposition
If you will stand alone in the churchyard
tonight at twelve O'Clock, and repeat
aloud the oaths you have just uttered, |
will pay you sum equal TO your weeks
wages"
The young man demurred at "Stoop-
ing" as he said, ito such silly within, "
but finally confessed that he was very
much in need OF money, and was, there
fore, willing to learn it easy"
"But how will you know ! have kept
my promise ?" he asked.
81 shall trust 10 your honor, sir" re-
piled the minister.
The young man went TO The cemetery
at midnight. His thoughts during his
walk there, and in the silence among the
"pillared marbles" can only be guessed.
His mothers grave was there, and he had
not visited it for years. A natural feeling
led him to the spot. He heard the Steeple
clock strike twelve, but he die not open
his lips. II struck one, it struck two, it
struck three, before he went away. He
could not utter profane words beside his
mothers grave. Dared he utter them to
his living Maker?
The next day, when the minister OF
fered him the promised money, he said:
mo. | have not earned it. The job
was too much for me-" But the effec
OF the nights experience was such that
swearing became obnoxious TO him.
There was no Superstition" in this.
The incident shows merely that the re-
buking effect OF solemn circumstance
will sometimes expose ones wickedness
to ones self when nothing else can.
More than this, human experience has
often declared that in sacred association
something divine seems to speak, some
thing that is above conscience itself.

The Telephone Girl.

The telephone girl SITS still in her chair
and listens 10 voices from everywhere.
She hears all the gossip, she hears all the
news, she knows who is happy and who
has the blues; she knows all our sonows,
she knows all our joys, she knows every
girl who is chasing the boys; she knows
OF our troubles, she knows Of our strife I;
she knows every man who talks mean to
his wife; she knows every time we are
out with "the boys" she hears excuses
each fellow employs; she knows every
woman who has dark past; she knows
every man who is inclined 10 be EAST"
in fact, there's secret beneath each Saucy
curl OF that quiet, demure -looking tele-
phone girl. II the telephone girl told all
that she knows il would turn half our
friends into bitterest foes; she could SOW
a small wind that would soon be gale,
engulf us IN trouble and land US in jail
she could LEI 20 story which gaining IN
force, would cause half our wives TO sue
for divorce; size could get all our churches
mixed up in fight and turn all our days
into sonowing night; in fact, she could
keep the whole town in stew il she told a
tenth part OF the things that she knew.
Oh, brother, now doesn't il make your
head whirl when you think what you owe
10 the telephone girl ?

Votes and Biscuits.

Clever women in Chattanooga, Tenn,
have devised practical way TO explain
principles OF votes for women. To Sc
cure an appreciative audience, food DEM
onstrations are given, and while biscuits
are delicately browning, and hot coffee
odors dellciously scent the air, the ex-
pectant consumers are given some spicy
talks on woman suffrage. Come TO think
of it the genuinely domestic woman would
naturally associate the vote with better
conditions for her home. Patriotism and
the hearthstone are unalterably combined.
The genius Of the hearthstone is wo-
man. In eleven States she is the patriot
with the vote. Other States refuse the
hearthstone recognition in government,
and expect patriotism TO flourish in the
ashes of disfranchisement.

Birds On The Battlefield.

Strangely enough, the birds whose sea-
sonal migrations take them 10 northern
France and Belgium returned thither this
year as usual. and seemingly unafraid
nested, reared their young, and sang while
the battle ragged about them. A member
OF Canadian Highland regiment wrote
home:

They wanted TO cross over TO the German
lines, but every time they started to leave
row OF poplars just below my shelter,
there would be a crack from some rifle,
and back they would turn and perch again
to chatter about it until they had picked
up courage for another try. Then the
same thing would happen all over again. "
And a member OF the London Honor
able Artillery writes:
lust by our trenches there is wood,
and although il is fairly riddled with shot
and shell both day and night, you would
be surprised 10 know how full OF life il is.
There are two or three nightingales that
sing most rippingly, atleast one pheasant,
one green woodpecker, a tree creeper,

blackbirdS.

Goat Farm Makes Money

Near Manchester, n H., there is, &C
cording TO the New York Sun, an 500
acre farm, consisting mostly OF hills,
which yields its ownera handsome profit.
This farm is owned by Greek named
NanSaikaS, who has brought 10 this coun-
try one OF the chief farming industries OF
his native land, that OF making cheese
from goats milk.
On his farm he has herd OF 600 goats
which he expects TO increase to 200
within a short time. A goat yields an
average OF about two quarts OF milk a
day, and because il is much richer than
cows milk, he can sell il for 20 cents a
quart, but he finds il more profitable TO
use it in the manufacture Of Greek cheese,
for which there is a good demand in this
country. He says that while the goat
cannot subsiSt on tin cans, as some per-
sons are supposed 10 believe, it is true
that it can subSiSt on pasture which would
hardly support cattle, and itrequires very
little attention aside from protection from
marauding animals. He herds the goats
himself, and declares that one man can
easily take care of 600; in fact, according
to his statement, his brother, who owns
goat farm in Greece, takes care OF Zoo
without assistance.

WHAT CATARRH IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarfh
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the

medicinal food and building-to free
homalcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.

That their receding tones we scarcely mark
Till sound and color fade into the dark
