MAKING HEAD COUNT.
Farmer Who Has Profited
By Ii.

1 used to think 1 never had any
time to go to Grange, as it took all
Saturday afternoon, and there was
so much to do on the farm. i never
had time to go to the county fair,
farmers Institutes, evening gather
ings in the neighborhood, or my
lodge meetings.
For two years after / bought my
farm l put in on an average of 16
out of the "a hours at work. In win
ter i worked in the woods drawing
logs, and did my chores with a lam
tern at both ends or the day.
The gray hairs got good and plenty
in my hair, and 1 commenced to age
fast. One day 1 read an article that
said there was something wrong
with the man who couldn't take a
day off once a week from his farm
work to go to town. attend his farm
ers' meetings. or fix up the flower
beds for his wife.
1t went on to say that such a man
never uses his head to help his
hands. l got to thinking, WAS /
one OF those fellows?" and the more
] thought Of 1t the surer was of my
mistake.
] began going to Grange every
Saturday afternoon. met my
brother farmers, asked questions
about their crops-when they sowed
and planted-and learned a lot.
Sundays I read my farm papers that
had always taken but could find
no time to read, walked over my
farm or to one of my neighbors, and
planned my work for the coming
week. i got little book and noted
in it the little things to do on stormy
days in the workshop.
My boys began to be some help to
me, and when the work got on my
nerves, so to speak. and the boys got
tired OF plowing, dragging. cultiva-
ting, and hoeing we would drop ev-
erything, drive eight miles to trout
stream, fish all day, and get just as
tired as we would on the farm. We
could buckle into II the next day. and
the work just melted out of sight.
Since right-about-faced I am do
ing half our work now with my
head, and my work is better kept up,
and my crops go into the ground on
time, and I don't feel so tired and
worn out We quit work In time to
have the teams taken care Of and be
ready for our meals at meal time.
We all like 1t better. including the
wife.-George M. Weaver In Farm

REASON CANNOT BE GUIDE
Product of the Mind, and Is Subject
to the VIII but Never
Superior.

Reason cannot select correct prem
ises; she can only prove the prem
Uses you give her. "Oh, what won
derful creature is man." exclaimed
Ben Franklin; "he can find reasons
for anything he wishes to do" That
Is the trouble with reason as a guide.
Reason cannot guide. Reason is al
ways guided by something else be-
hind it, which supplies the premises
from which reason makes it's calcula-
tions and records. Reason is a calcu-
lating machine. Give it correct
premises and 1t will compute and
record the right answer every time.
But reason has no power of choice
in the matter of premises; like any
well regulated calculating machine it
automatically accepts the premises
fed into it. You have but to watch
your own thoughts carefully to prove
this.
Who, or what, then, is responsible
for the choice of premises that you
feed into your calculator? 1t is life
| itself which uses reason. 1t is life
itself which creates reason, the cal
culator. And why does life need
reason? Life needs reason to weigh,
compute, compare and record lifes
institutions and experiences. Without
the calculator and recorder. reason,
life would endlessly duplicate it's ex-
periences and intuitions without
learning anything from them. Life
is the creator, reason the creature.
Life is the actor, reason is acted
upon. Life is positive and reason
negative. To depend upon reason as
guide is to exalt the machine above
the mind that made it.

"ALARM" THAT is N0ISELESS
Upon to Awaken Even the
Soundest Sleeper.

Alarm watches that signal the time
Tor which they are set by shrill ring
ing are common, but a "noiseless"
alarm watch which accomplishes the
same result is entirely new.
The story has been told of married
man who possessed a ringing alarm
watch and who, with his wife, was
awakened every morning by the silvery
tinkle of the watch under his pillow.
1t took this mans wife five years, so
the story goes, to discover that the
alarm watch and not the neighbours
alarm clock was really awakening her
every morning. The noiseless alarm
watch, however, performs its early
morning task differently. The noise
less alarm consists of cord which
tightens about the wrist, the pressure
gradually increasing until released by
the wearer of the watch. This is &C
complished by pushing a small slide
and twisting the stem of the watch a
half turn.-World's Advance.

The Pity of SeIf-Pity.

Self-pity is INDUCED in by most men.
Some more, some less. The human
mind is so constituted that under
certain conditions of stress, 1t turns
upon itself and says: you poor,
abused thing" The ruination which
is wrought by 1t appears in the fact
that when a man pities himself he
does so for the very reason that ought
to lead him to self-condemnation. He
pities his weaknesses, rather than
reforming them. He coddles his in
firmities, when they need to have the
punishment which pugilists give each
other. No man ever pitied himself
when he is doing the hard things-we
mean, really doing them. While man
is being brave the thoughts OF being
abused or i'll treated are impossible
thoughts to him. The business man
who sits down, and while he holds his
face in his hands, bemoans: Il am
having a hard time" needs the dash
of that really cold water which ad-
versity always uses when she would
make a strong man. Self-pity I'M

A very pretty and summary dress of
plain and dotted organdie achieves fine
style by combining these familiar ma

originality of the model lies in combin-

that they play parts of equal impor-

goods in the same way.
In the model shown the body and
skirt are of the plain organdie. Five
graduated ruffles of the dotted organ
