Mental Labor Is Given, Too

NOR does the United States concentrate
all its energies ON manual labor. There
Is certain young woman in Wisconsin,
heiress to large slice of bank stock and
one of the finest farms in the State, who
owes her good fortune entirely to the gov
ernment's success in finding in her just
the person to fill the void in the declining
lives of childless old couple. This, ac-
cording to l.. F. Post, Assistant Secre-
tary OF Labor, is the plain, unvarnished
truth.
Almost every kind OF job has been OBJ
tanned for almost every kind of job
hunter at one time or another by the
Bureau.
Suppose you were clerk or steno-
grapher or an accountant or hosiery sales
man or an expert "soda-slinger" or gar
ment-maker or a carpenter or mechanical
engineer, or anything else that you can
fancy, out Of job. After bracing Com
missioner Green you might have to go
out to Waco, Texas, or Emporia, Kan
sas, to be sure; but, nine chances out Of
ten, somewhere in the United States the
Commissioner would knew of somebody
looking for just what you had to offer.
Of course it is not possible to land with

and the Bureau is trying hard to dispel
that idea. But, the Bureau is discovering
plenty of people ready and anxious for
good. old-fashioned jobs, and is kept busy
introducing some 5000 such persons TO
some 5000 such jobs daily in all parts of
the country.

Profits in Off Season Porkers

TITUS introduced another innovation to
his community. OF course he kept hogs

sight would neglect the most profitable
of all farm animals. AS soon as he began
to operate his swine herd on the two
litter-a-year plan, all his neighbors in

farmers and totally impractical. But it
has increased his profits greatly-not only
by increasing his output of porkers, but
by securing higher prices; because his
"off season. pigs are ready to sell at a
time when the market is not glutted with
porkers.
Defiance is the junction point of three
rivers, and one of these had power facili-
ties that remained long undeveloped.
Finally power dam was built across it,
and it happened that the transmission
wires had to pass over the johnson farm.
A representative of the company was
quite willing to give Titus a tempting
lump sum for the right Of putting in the
steel uprights. But Titus the trader had
been doing some figuring, and suggested
that he would rather have a perpetual
contract for power at a certain low rate.
The company assented.
He bought z l2-horse-power motor that

develops l0-horse-power when this three
phase current is sent through it, and he
uses that motor for many purposes-cut-
ting ensilage, saving wood, pumping
water, watering the garden, and running
the cream separator, and for operating
the washing machine in the kitchen.
Titus has another little motor of NJ
horsepower that offers lesson in econ
omy. This tiny power-maker was his first
experiment. He used it merely to supple
ment nature. When the wind didn't work
the windmill the little motor took up the
task. And then the ingenious Titus
rigged up a gear-wheel with which he
pumped water into cooling tank and
used the overflow to irrigate his vegetable
garden. He now contemplates putting in
quite an extensive system of artificial irri-
CATION, and also a small and inexpensive
electrical heating apparatus to warm his
hog houses at the time of winter farrow-
ing. Only little artificial heat is needed,
but that little often means the saving of
whole litter of newborn pigs. gasolene
engine to do all his work would cost him
$500, and would need continual watching
and repairs. With his motors doing all
the required work, the reading of his
meter recently showed that the cost for
three months was $2.70.
Titus is strong for practical efficiency,
and the waste of labor, materials, or
products hurts his sense of thrift On his
initiative, he and his competitor in the
milk business long ago decided that they
need not waste time and labor and travel
in Mt tapo orNfIn IN fhn fnr,. sf<r
They effected satisfactory division of
the town. They also buy much of their
feed jointly, and also their bottles.
About the time that Titus saw the
effect Of his own kind of farming on his
soil, and also saw those results repeated
to some extent by neighboring farmers
who adopted his methods. he did consid-
erable serious thinking on the subject of
future land values in his neighborhood.
AS these methods were more generally

and hobble when they might get over the
ground at swinging pace if they were
only balanced up on the business side.
Farming is business-dOn't forget that!
If hadn't had this drilled into me at the
start, l never would have been able to-
lift that first mortgage. And it's about
the most complex business in the world,
too. 1t calls for a kind of management
that is flexible, not cut and dried
The big thing about Titus is not that
he was born with wonderful gift for
farming or for trading. There is nothing
in his family history to Indicate that he
was blessed with a natural equipment
above the ordinary in either of these par
ticulars. He did not come of line of
money-makers. But the story of Titus
the tradero the boy who MIXED the
mortgage, fattened the farm, and revo-
lutionized the farm methods and values
of whole community-is parable of
the power of application.
He just had to save the home farm for
the sake of his father and mother. He
knew that to do this he must do more than
hustle and toil-he must think and OBJ
serve everything about him from the
viewpoint of whether or not it might be
made to yield an honest profit; he must
approach everything that came his way
with question as to whether it might
not be made to yield him few desultory
dollars. Titus the trader holds that max
ing money is largely matter of consistent
application; that if the average man cares
enough about it he can take q profit from
n hp,n rI.~ - .
Not that he thinks making money is
the biggest thing in the world. He
doesn't. Being able to stand between his
father and complete financial shipwreck
was worth more to him than the money
he made-far more!
There is something decidedly cheering
in his contention, backed by his own ex-
perience, that any average boy or man
can make money if he goes after it hard
enough-and make it honestly, too.

a farm. He was hustled on to train

big increase in the market value of the
farms. The fertility of the soil was being
rapidly restored and the farms made to
produce richer crops and larger profits.
Not Afraid of Mortgages Now
1T was not in the cards for the young
man who had bought bran at $40 and
sold it at $28 to allow an upward move
ment in farm values to pass without
bringing him profit. Therefore Titus the
trader began to annex farms. He paid
$25 an acre for one, and later refused to
sell for $780, Another he leased for five
years, and was Immediately offered $1,000
for the lease. He played a progressive
game of mortgage making and mortgage
lifting, and he now farms $50 acres-not
all his in fee simple, to be sure, yet
goodly portion of it is. He isn't as much
afraid of mortgage now as when he
started TO milk the original one off the old
homestead.

He now has an unlimited market for all

would envy, and has remodeled the old
house until there are few comforts or
luxuries known to a country gentleman
or his help that he does not enjoy. He
likes farming, and when he sees husky

smiles and concludes that "cows and
clover will do for me-"
