The Worlds Rubber Supply.

The worlds production of rub
Der amounts to about 125, 900
tons annually. South America
supplies 10000 tons of this
amount; the East Indies, $1,000;
Africa, Is, 900; Central America
5000, and divers other countries,
5000. The product from the
East Indies is all from cultivated
trees. 1t is plantation grown.
Most Of the plantations, too, are
young, with many producing now
for the first time. Careful esti-
mate has it that these cultivated
trees, producing in 1908 only
1000 tons, will produce, by the
end of next year. one hundred
times that amount, or 100000
tons and, by the end of 1920 will
be sending to the worlds mar
kets more than 100000 tons.
There is not, therefore, any i'm
mediate danger of exhaustion in
the supply, and no good reason
for an advancein the price of
automobile tires.

dictated by the young man. The

the Judge determined the girls

that she was so badly frightened
when she appeared before the
clerk that she simply could not
answer. The license was prompt

Swearing.

Taking a business view Of the
matter of swearing, do you know
a man of any considerable influ.
ence who is a great swearer?
Will any man given to much
swearing dare to admit to him
self that he prefers the advice of
another great swearer? Of all
men who should rightly Judge
the calibre Of swearing men, the
swearer should be most proficient
for, speaking for himself, down
in his heart he knows that he
feels the weakness of his words
when he is compelled to distract
attention to that weakness by the
free interjection of oaths. We
challenge any swearer to con-
vince thoughtful men that the
habit of swearing did not grow
out Of the feeling Of a void-a
feeling that they lacked sincerity
and force, and that he did not
try to make up for it by swear
ing. A rule by which men mea-
sure each other is language.
Without even having thought Of
why, every man, woman, and
child soon unconsciously classes
the great swearer with those to
whom he would not go in times
of great distress all for the fore
going reasons. Then, too, the
swearer loses influence by reason
of the disgust he arouses in the
minds of his hearers. Every
body knows somebody who, by |
reason of good nature or some |
other attractive trait, would be a |
genial companion if it were not |
for the other fellows swearing. |
But, fortunately, the loss is the |
greater to the offending party.
The profane man thus who
seemingly has no regard for his
influence on boys that are grow
ing into manhood, should not for
get that every time he utters an
oath he is violating the specific
law of God which says Thou
shalt not take the name of the
Lord thy God in vain." He
should not forget, too, that he
stands before the eyes of the
world a criminal, for were it not
for the charity of his friends, he
would be arrested, taken before
a Justice of the Peace, and be
compelled to pay CT cents and
costs for every oath uttered.
Quit your swearing.

An OPPORTUNITY TO GET
= SlL0 AND LET " PAY FOR
ITSELF.

Thompson Yards, Inc, have
just announced that they have set
aside $8O,0O0.OO to finance 200
Northwest farmers who want silos
on their farms.
From what we have been able
to learn that it isn't hard for them
to dispose of this number of silos
on the attractive terms that they
are making. The problem for
them is to get these silos into
the hands of the right men. Men
who will put silage up right, feed
it right and let it help them make
more money.
For this reason they are limit
ing the number of silos to 200, as
that is all they can put up in a
thorough, painstaking manner,
and they will not put them up in
any other way.
If you have live stock, if you con
slider yourself a good farmer, you
need a silo. Every day you de-
lay you are losing money through
needless feeding and labor costs.
Thompson Yards, Inc, is making
the most liberal offer ever made
by any concern in order to nesp
boost our territory as corn, cat
tie and diversified farming coun-
try. They furnish the money to
pay for the silo-put it up-paint
it-guarantee it-and them make
the terms SO easy that the silo
actually SAVES YOU MONEY in
stead of COSTING YOU.

One Mans Scheme When He Found His
Capital Was Shrinking.
What one man did when he discover
ed his capital was shrinking is told in
the American Magazine:
"a friend let me into u secret of his
financial economy which strikes me as
valuable. He is of middle age, with a
small family, and has an income of
$500 a year. He has put by few
thousand dollars. His investments are
in gilt edged securities.
"At the end of every six months he
figures out exactly the value of his
property. Each share of stock, each
bond IA reckoned at its present market
price, and the sale value Of his house
Is placed at the lowest figure. To the
current value Of his estate he adds his
life insurance. The result is the CAPT.
tai which would be available for the
support Of his wife and children should
he suddenly die.
AT the last three reckonings my
friend found that his capital was
shrinking. There had been declines in
certain stocks and bonds and falling
OF in the value of his real estate.
What did he do? Commiserate him.
self? Not at all. He went to a life in.
surance company and took out policy
large enough more than to cover the
shrinkage in his capital. Comparative
~ speaking. it cost him very little. but
1t added neat sum to the value Of
his estate and guaranteed an unim.
paired income to his Wife"
