OLD TIME HARvESTS.
A Reminder Of the Days When You
Were a Bow on the Farm,

A Reminder Of the Days When You
Were a Boy on the Farm.
If you were a boy on the farm you
will recall wildly what harvest meant
to you, for you had to carry water, and
harvest hands were a thirsty set, nor
did they seem to car how far it was to
the spring or how badly chapped your
feet.
When not carrying water you were
busy gathering sheaves, which was
about the hardest work in sight, or at
least you thought it was.
When dinner came you would be so
hungry that there did not seem to be
enough On the table to satisfy you, to
say nothing Of the hungry bunch. In
this you would be somewhat disap-
pointed, for there was always enough
for all.
Then for an hours rest, during which
the men would sprawl out in the shade
Of a tree or on the porch in the great.
est comfort. And maybe you would
have found a good place to rest your
weary bones and about to settle into it
when one of the Graders would come
along with a leaky bucket in n hand
and a dull scythe in the other and Or
der you to come along and turn the
grindstone while you were resting.
Didn't it seem that they had a spite
at a boy in harvest time on the farm?

cord, represented with two snakes in
each hand, the whole suspended by a
trophy Of two crossed cannon balls
and a sword surmounted by the Amer
lean eagle, which is united by a rib
bon Of thirteen stripes, palewise, gules
and argent and a chief azure, to a
clasp composed Of two cornucopias and
the American arms.

Airships and Altitude.

There are two ways Of measuring
altitude in ii flying machine. One is
by triangulation from the ground.
which is an involved operation, requir-
ing the services of several trained ex-
perts in the calculation of angles from
different points on a measured dis.
lance on the earth's surface. The Sec
ond and usual way is by means of a
Paragraph. which is a form Of aneroid
barometer that records altitude by
means Of atmospheric pressure. The
latter method is not as exact as the
former, but is more expeditions and is
approximately correct.

Size of the Roman Empire.

According to the historian Gibbon,
the Roman empire was above 1000
miles in breadth, from the wall Of
Antoninus and the northern limits of
Docia to Mount Atlas and the Tropic
Of Cancer; that it extended in length
more than 5000 miles, from the west
ern ocean to the E%uphrates; that it
was situated in the finest part of the
temperate zone, and that it was sup
posed to contain above 1000. 600 square
miles,"
According to this, the Roman en-
pire was considerably smaller than the
United States, the area of which Qeav-
ing out Alaska and the islands) is
nearly 100000 square miles, or al
most twice as lig as was the empire
of the Caesars.

Hughes Sympathetic With De-
mands of Labor Which Are
Proved to Be Just.

~ am sympathetic with every
demand to improve the condi-
tons of labor, to secure reason
able compensation for labor. !
am in sympathy with every eff.
fort to better human conditions,
and particularly the condition of
those who toll in industrial pur.
suits, in railroad pursuits, in all
these, great activities that are
essential to u prosperity. But
when you have a proposition to
change the scale of wage you
have a vital proposition which
requires examination. You must
at least know whether the de-
mand is a just one.
Labor, Of course, should not
desire anything but what is Just.
| do not believe labor intends to
ask for anything but what is
just. What is just can be ex.
amined and will survive inves-
tigation. Nothing is lost by hav-
ing the process Of reason applied
1t only that which is Just is
required."-Mr. Hughes in His
Speech at Portland, Maine.

chuck ribs (10) make a cheap roast
when a cook requires a large guam

The round (17) has recently been

The top sirloan OF thick flank (15)

steaks.
The rump (16) is roasted or
corned.
The plate CO. is also corned and
is selected when the cook wants "a

The navel (5) and the plate are used
for soup meat and stews.
The chuck (2) provides steaks and

The flank (13) is good for stews
and for baking after stufing and

for soups.

Impossible To Get SO Much
Motor Car Value For The Money

MOtOr-The engine in the Maxwell car is not
equaIed by any other four-cylinder engine of its
size. And we know of larger and more expensive
that have less able power plants. The Max.
well engine carries its load through mud and sand
over the steepest grades without falter.
Quality-The materials in the Maxwell
are the best that can be bought and the workman
ship that turns them into finished parts IS no less
excellent Il is only the large production Of the
Maxwell factories that makes il possible to put
such quality of materials and workmanship into
q car selling at the Maxwell price.
EcOnOmy-With its other attractive features,
the Maxwell is a most economical car to own.
Owners get q to Is miles per gallon Of gasoline
and 5000 to $4,000 miles per set of tires. And
the car is so durably built that repair expense Is
negligible.
We are sure you want a such as we have
described the Maxwell to be. IF you win give us
a few minutes of your time we are sure we can
convince you that the Maxwell Car is an excep-
tional value. Come in today.

until they drive it themselves, do they realize what

It is not unusual that Maxwell value should
not be known to everyone because ii IS uncom-

than the Maxwell price.
The Maxwell stands absolutely alone in highly
