The Mountain Ash.

Long ago people believed in witches
and evil spirits, who We're going about
the country doing harm. They also
believed that the rowan (mountain
ash) had some charm to do away with
their evil powers. t.
So all the maidens wore the scarlet
berries of the rowan in their hair, and
the young men carried canes made
from the branches of the same tree.
The housewife hung branches of the
berries over her doorway, while her
good man hung the same about his
barns and stables, so the witches could
have no power over his sheep and cat
tie and horses.
For the same purpose they kept
great hoop Of rowan branches.
Through this they made the young
calves and lambs jump. This act was
intended to keep sickness and death
away from them-at least the good
man thought so. Every animal had
to jump through the hoop whether he
wanted to or not, for the good man
switched his legs with rowan switch
until the jumping was accomplished.

HELPS CITY PEOPLE, TOO

Farmers are net the only class of
people in the United States who will
benefit by the government loans to
be obtained through the rural cred
it's act" said tie Chicago Tribune,
(Rep), in news article published
Sept. 5.
Joseph F. Conmery, Cook county
recorder of deeds and registrar of
titles, has been investigating the
statns CT property owners about
Chicago, and made public yesterday
certain figures of vital interest to
scme thousands Of residents of Cook
county.
"Mr. Connery finds that there are
3S7,60S acres of land in the county,
some of it Within the city limits, on
which government loans may be ne
gotiated under the rural credits act.
These, In large part, are the acre
tracts and small plots ON which
folks live in the outlying districts
reached readily by the various su-
burban car lines.
"The owners are not farmers. They
are city men, though not city dwell
ers. During their ordinary working
hours they are clerks. printers, fac
tory superintendents, and the like in
the downtown districts. When they
are through work they return to the
land they have bought to take them
out in the open air.
I'm most cases they have mortgag-
ed their property at high interest
rates and on short time payments.
They had to do IL their dreams were
to come true.
Now, through tie ownership of
these small tracts - farm lands as
truly as the great fields of Nebraska
and Iowa-these residents of Cook
county can borrow from the govern
ment at low interest, arrange for
small payments extending over a
long time, and pay off their present
obligations.
ITO how many Thousands of Chi
cagoans this will prove boon the
statistics do not show, but Mr.. Con-
nery's figures Indicate that Cook
county residents alone will be in a
position to. negotiate government
loans Of something like $4,000, 900"

MAKER OF MISCHIEF
CARELESS TALkER is OFTEN
CAUSE OF TROUBLE.
Most Misunderstanding Are Result OF
Exaggerated Reports Due to Aver
age Person's Inability to Give
y Accurate Descriptions.

The inability to give accurate de-
scriptions s.not to be counted a vice.
That is fault frequently due to i'm
perfect development of the powers Of
observation or of memory. 1t should
be recognized as such, and measures
taken to correct it by the cultivation
of such powers as will enable those
who possess them to accurately report
to others what they have seen or
what they have heard. Most people re-
spect truth and desire to be truthful,
but very few worship truth, as they
should, by efforts to reach it in their
much mischief may be done in society
by a merely careless talker with
poor memory who does not intend to
do any harm as by a malignant liar
who spreads false stories with the in
tent to deceive.
Indeed, the majority of misunder-
standings and anomosities that arise
In the intercourse of men may be
traced to exaggerated or misleading
reports of what one has said about the
other. 1t is not so much what is said
as the manner and spirit of the re-
mark, that should be conveyed, and
one who is incapable of correctly re-
porting the spirit of conversation
should refrain from attempting to con-
vey it to another. The exact words
may be reported in such way as to
convey false impression, or the spirit
of the remark may be correctly given
without the use of the exact words.
This fact is clearly recognized by
sharp lawyers, who, when the testi-
mony is injurious to them, will not
allow witness to give the substance
of conversation SO as to convey a
true conception of its spirit, but insist
upon the exact words spoken, knowing
that in the effort to give them the
witness will be very likely to obscure
or distOrt their meaning.-1rish World.

being faulty as we'll as very expen-

Increasing the Worker. Efficiency

Probably the greatest problem which
confronts the American public utility,
and in fact all, corporations, is how to
bridge the chasm caused by the en-
forced increase In the cost of material
and labor and the decreased price for
which the product must be sold. vari-
Gus expedients have been tried, some
of which have proven of material ad-
vantage. The holding company has
been instrumental in effecting better
methods Of financing and managing,
while at the same time it has estab-
lished more economical methods of op-
Grafton; but in the last analysis,
higher type Of efficiency on the part
of labor must be continually striven
for by all successful corporations, and
how to obtain this increased efficiency
is problem that calls for unrelenting
study.-'Insuring Thousands of Pub
lie Service Employees" w. G. Jenk-
