that not only does it fit him for the

POLLS SUN WITH INVENTION
Harvard Man Presses Button in Bed and the Window Shade
 Goes Down.

Cambridge. MaSs.-Every morning at seven o'clock Henry R. Guild of Boston, a Harvard senior, rolls over in bed. Seven o'clock is too early for a senior to get up, so Mir. Guild presses a button and the shade at the distant end of his chamber rolls down as if by magic.
 No rising sun is going to make him leave his bed unreasonably. Some morning he may miss four-alarm fire by pressing the button, hut he's will ing to take the chance, he asserts.
 Getting up at q. m. is a high crime at Harvard the same as admitting Yale has q good football team this year.
 Henry Guild framed up motor. at tached it to the curtain string and laid wires to his bedside. When the sun throws it rays into his bedroom every morning, weather permitting. he presses button and the curtain tlopS faster than in vaudeville theater.
 MT. Guilds next invention probably will be trapdoor to throw tireSome professors into the cellar by means of button that any student can press. Life's attendant inconvenience aren't going to bother him while electricity can do the work

 However and furthermore, little Miss Crandall, who is only 16 years old, showed Mir. Carpenter that she has mind of her own. She took liar ley Lawrence to Gibson to the record CTS office and signed everything that was required on any document per taining to marriage.
 MT. Carpenter looked at Mir Law renee and sighed. Mir. Lawrence looked at Mr. Carpenter and laughed. The two brides gIared at each other and drew up their full height-no great dis tance in either case
 Then the bridal parties drove away in automobiles in opposite directions

LIVE STOCK IMPROVES SOIL
Farmers Who Save All Manure Pro- duced on Farm Know It's Value
 in Providing Humus.

Not all farmers have learned the great value of manure in increasing the yield of crops. Those who save all the manure produced on their farms know the value of it and feel that they cannot afford to lose it. Those who have not been in the habit of saving manure do not know it's value.
 While the commercial value of the constituents in manure Is not high. there is another and a very import ant value, that of providing organic matter, called humus. A few loads of manure on thin soil, low in organic matter will increase the yield sur prisincly. And the yield is likely to be greater for several years.
 If every farmer could understand the possibilities of building up his soil by raising live stock. saving and ap- plying every farm would have all the live stock 1t would maintain. and the number it could maintain would be gradually increased because of larger crops.
 Here is a thought Live stock to eat the feed and save marketing cost. More manure. richer land. larger crops, better profits, more independent farm- CTS.
