In the event Of galded shoulder
or sore neck on a work horse, or
young team, here is an old freighter's
cure, and have never seen any
method to equal 1t for quick healing
without depriving man of the use
of his animal. Take g brick of old
fashioned stove. polish, or graphite,
pulverize it, and dust the sore with
it. Then instead of the collar use
an old quilt or comfort folded under
the names. OF course, the boys will
want dad to drive the horse when
he wears quilt collar, but the horse
will be glad. The common sweat pad
is a failure after the sore starts.

DROP OTHER WORK
TO SELECT CORN

Droy everything else to select
and store seed corn.
This is the advice of farm
management experts at the Min
nesofa College of Agriculture.
September 10 to 20 is fairly
busy time Tor most farmers.
Thrrshing and silo filing are
usually in progress. and seeding
some winter crops is urgent dur
ing Seed Corn Time.
Their" is none of these tasks
that could not be put off for two
days. to select seed corn to in
crease next years 2O-acre crop
s3". That means there is moth
ing else which you can do Sept.
10 to 20 which will pay you S25
a day.
The silo can stand partly filled
without injury: the grain i'm the
stack can stand from two to
three weeks safely. Seed corn
selection can not wait. It must
be done at the proper time, and
when the proper time comes the
business-like thing to do is to
drop everything else and select
and store seed corn.

AS to the philosophy of acls
like these, the question must
arise why the owning or control

should be considered thing SO
desirable that one may reason
ably peril his life TO acquire it
The answer is that the idea all
most universally prevails that
happiness is a commodity and
that money being the medium OF
exchange for ali commodities
can buy happiness. The con

TACT, one can hardly go right.
Wealth does nos consist of
property. Wealth is the ratio
between the desire we hold IN
our heart and the goods we hold
IN our hand. One may grow
poor in two days-by increasing
the DESIRE or by reducing the
goods. One may grow rich in
two ways-by reducing the de-
sire, or by increasing the goods.
Inc latter process is the one that
lures us; but with rare excep..

be as rapid as it may, the desire
for more keeps automatically in

tired farmer or merchant has
discovered to his despair that
rest is sweet only after labor.
and that rest as an occupation
is a WEAKNESS to the flesh; that
happiness never was anything
but the by-product of activity
and of old, familiar activities at

PRESS EMPLOYEE
FORCES CHECKS

Harry Martin, one Of the employees
OF the Daily Free Press, attempted to
pass a check at the Sutherland & Nc
Fariane store having forged the name
and signature of e. N. Steninger. the
proprietor, and using a blank check
which he had taken from the desk
some time previous. He had used the
stamp protector, and at the bottom of
the check, had also used a rubber
stamp of the Free Press publishing
Company-the name "E. H. Steninger'
being written in and the check made
out for $25.
Martin was arrested and after being
taken to jail, claimed that this was the
only check he had attempted to pass.
This was not true as later on, Joe
Snelson brought In a similar check
which he had cashed yesterday. Mar,
tin came to Elko about three weeks
ago and had been working since that
time. His version OF the story is that
he got to drinking, lost his wages over
the gambling story and was tempted
to forge the check to make good.
