orders for clothes. He exhibited a
nice line of samples and gave the
name and address Of the firm he was
supposed to represent. He succeeded
III doing quite a stroke of business,

a payment of $3.50 on a suit and $1.0O

about a dozen orders in this way he

 Farming on a Precipice.

On mountain slopes so steep as to ap pear quite worthless for agriculture the rice growers of the Philippine is lands are producing crops upon made to-order farms. These famous ter races of the mountain province extend as far as the eye can reach, a work ot patience rivaling the pyramids. I'm aglne whole mountain laid out in ledge above ledge, the walls almost perpendicular, the strip of field graded just enough to allow the water to flow from one terrace to another without violence, so that every acre is irri gated but not washed out by the cur rent.
 The work appears too vast to be ths work of human beings. In fact il might better represent some great up heaval of the earth's crust.-PopulaI Science Monthly.

The latest thriller for amusement parks and similar institutions is a SO called bowl of death" which turns from horizontal to a vertical posI tlon and then back again as the rider drives his motorcycle at high speed around the rim. A picture of this de vice appears in the Popular Mechan. ics Magazine. The bowl is made up Of segments of perforated steel, is Is feet in diameter and is hemispherical in shape except for flat section al the center and a sharp inward curve at the rim designed to furnish the rider some degree of protection against the danger of running off the edge When the motorcyclist begins his ride the bowl is horizontal, with the open side up. AS soon as the machine at. tains sufficient speed to ride on the vertical edge the bowl is slowly swung to position in which the open side is vertical.

FERNDALE FACTS.

Pretty good for you, Geyer Springs. So you will teach Ferndale dozen tricks? We'll, we hope they are nice tricks. We always watch tricky people.
 And Upper Ferndale hasn't anything to boast of but good looking CD bachelors. We would like to see some of them. As many old maids as there are about, it seems as if they would take advantage of leap year and make some of those old bache- lors get married. Perhaps Jim Kanady will come back and talk to Miss Hama McHugh.
 Will Rowland moved back to the country from Little Rock. That will make another eligible young man for Upper Ferndale.
 We are very sorry to hear of our friend, J. B. Miller, being very i'll with pneumonia. We wish for him a speedy recovery.
 w. B. Baker and family are still having a siege with the grip. Some of them have been sick for two weeks now.
 Aunt Mary Rowland is still very low with pneumonia at Mrs. Douglas. Her daughter, Mrs. Bowman, of Iowa, has ar rived to help care for her. She had not seen her mother for for ty years.
 Fred Mills is back again from California. He takes MT. Rus sells place at Niemeyer's. MT. Russell takes MT. Heard's place, and MT. Heard gees to St. Louis.
 Brother Landreth was sick and could not meet his appoint ment at camp grounds last third Sunday. It does seem la grippe would pass the preachers by; we miss them so.
 Curtis Morgan has bought a new horse. He will also be our constable for another term. Wonder why someone don't run against him.
 The weather was so cold Sat urday the w. O. w. and w. c. had very small attendance not enough for a quorum. Please let's try again next month and be more sociable. Our country is too much divided against itself.
 We'll, the election is over; we can quit talking politics a while and talk about crops-that is, when we can quit abusing the weather long enough. Our only crop now is an ice crop. We can get all the ice we want now same as rich folks in the sum- mer time.

HORSE NOT YET OBSOLETE
Will Remain, It May Be Safely Assert ed, Long After Some Prophets
 Have Been Forgotten.

Some prophets and sons of prophets who predict that horses on the farms will soon be only a memory will have passed away, and pleasing epitaphs will be carved into the stones which mark their resting place, long before their prophecies become fact. The in- troduction of the farm tractor will not, as some believe, remove the horses from the fields and from their pas lures, Farm Machinery asserts The advent of the street cars did not have that effect upon horses, neither did the bicycle nor automobile. Today there are more horses in this country than there were ten years ago. and prices are considerably higher. The one thing that the farm tractor will do is to supply the need of power on the farms which horses cannot give. Take away the farm tractors which are in use today and several hundred thou sand horses would be required to re. place them, or if horses could not be had the lands would have to go un. plowed and untitled The number of tractors now in use will be multiplied many times within the next ten years but there will be as many horses in this country as there are today. and prices will be even higher than now.
 Farm tractors are becoming a neces sity, just as electric street cars have become-the same as telephones have supplanted the telegraph in a way and have taken the place of messenger boys and quick delivery of mail. No one will agree that there are not more miles of telegraph wire in use today than ten years ago, nor can it be said that there are fewer messenger boys, yet the telephone is in almost every business house and in many house. holds, doing work for which there was little demand a few years ago.
 The farm tractors will simply fit in. to the greater needs of the country and will do the heavier chores and drudgery which horses are little fiji for. They will not replace the horses but will simply assist them and make life easier for them. They will also enable farmers to breed better horses because their mothers will be kept for that purpose instead of spending hali or more of their time in doing heavy work. Let us not dream too long upon the practicability of the horseless farm. It is long way off, as yet.
