We are commanded TO do all our
work as unto the lord" Each duty
OF life IL to be fulAIled as II al HIS
direct command and for His imme-
dlste use. Therefore. like the an
Gent sacrifices offered on His altar
they should be the best. The OLD
Jews would not sacrifice. except
when they had degenerated. oiem'
ished lamb. A great truth underiay
this law. II was IN offense TO Jeho-
yah to present before Him as wor'
ship anything that was inferior or
imperfect. Therefore II should De
our best.
The inferior workers In the world
are legion: the excellent are the ex'
eeption. Every large enterprise Is
hampered by many OF these wage
earners who never do anything more
than fairly we'll. They seem to have
no zeal for perfect workmanship.
Indeed. they are not seriously inter
ested in workmanship At all: their
interest IL chiefly In wages. Only
persons with considerable business
experience can appreciate how few
really 6rst-rAte workers there are
In every calling there is not only a
place, but a genuine need, for the
best workers. A good life rule for
all who work-and that should in
clude everybody-is this: Il will
never be satisfied with less than
my best"
Talents are not possessions, bu,
charges.
"AII the world Is better for every
one who IL living at his best"

is best There is no other way 70

yet it tangled the revolver in the folds
OF cloth so he could not draw, and,
with snarl of baf1ed rage, he tore
his fingers loose, and clutched at my
throat with both hands. Back and
forth we swayed on the very edge of
the ravine, kept from plunging down
into the black depths by the interven-
ing fringe of trees, savagely contend
ing for the mastery. That he was a
trained athlete, acquainted with every

as l felt strength come back into my
hand, and realized that l could clench

FARMERS idea Saves
HIM TIME AND MONEY
Uses Pipe 10 Send Wheat From
Plateau 10 Market.

Wenatchee, WaSh.-InStead of haul
ing his wheat eighteen miles over a
bad road, as he did formerly, James
Keane of Rock Island is now letting
the grain slide into market through L
galvanized iron pipe. The former
method cost from 10 to 20 cents q
bushel to market By this latter way
the grain can be handled for 2 cents
a buShel.
The new system has been i'll opera
ton for couple of years and bids fair
to continue, at least until the natural
law Of gravitatiOn is abolished.
Keane owns land which lies on
large plateau over 1000 feet above the
little town of Rock Island. 1t has al
ways been expensive for the farmer
to drive long distance to get off the
plateau and back into town, and as
the road wound around the side of the
bluffs it was very rocky and danger
Gus.
Two years ago the iron pipe idea
came to Keane. He purchased and in
stalled $500 feet of two inch galvaniz-
year paid for it. The pipe runs from
Keane's west field down Il steep hill to
within 400 feet of the warehouse i'll
the town.
When he wishes to take two or three
loads of wheat to market the grain is
poured into q large sheet iron hopper
fitted over the top of the iron pipe line.
The grain runs along merrily through
the pipe to the town, where it is receiy
ed at the rate Of about sack a min
ute, which is as fast as it can be han
died.
To save more time and money Keanc
has attached an apparatus known as
the 'sacker'' from thrashing machine
to the town end of the pipe line.
which automatically receives, sacks
and weighs the grain. A man does the
sewing.
Keane has q monopoly on the big
plateau, which embraces about 5000
acres Of tillable land. Last year be
planted most Of it and harvested near
ly 100000 bushels of wheat.
The land lies exposed to the perlodi-
cally hard winds that frequent this
part Of the state during the summer,
and there have been years when part
of the wheat crop would be piled Ill
high drifts Of dirt. When the season
is favorable few farmers are more
handily located than Keane. with his
pipe line marketing method.
