There isn't any occupation in the world where this systema tic attention to the smallest seemingly most tri- fling details IS more essential than in farming.
 take anybody's word for it. Work it out in your own minds. Figure for yourselves what small neglects or oversights have cost you in the past And then, when you've come to ap- preciate the importance of details then, for common senses sake, at tend to them, to the last limit of your time, strength and capacity

hiS haS been phenOn enatIy rainy season. It would seem as if there wa water enough in any soil for all the crops and all the weeds too. But notice 9 very great difference between my three patches of corn. I have my yellow sweet corn in one; my white sweet corn in a second: and my field corn in a third. (Planted so to prevent mixing as much as possible)
 It happens that one of these patches lies nearer and handler than the oth- CTS. In the catchy" weather which has prevailed we have been able to get into that and cultivate it between showers oftener than the other two.
 Today, that better cultivated patch stands a foot higher than either of the others on an average: has a visi- bly, deeper green; has made vastly better stand: is tasseling while the others are still without appearance even of stalk.' There is no great diff ference in the soil of the three patches was no special difference in the ma nuring. The only difference has been in the cultivation.
 We have been able to keep the weeds out of one and the dirt con- stantlY stirred up and aerated
 Perhaps we have killed what would have been a ton of weeds had they been allowed their growth. Very well then the three hundred tons of water they would have stolen has been saved and put at the service of the corn plants.

Just a little bit of statistical fact, dug out by the painstaking pol1ing into microscopic detail of certain de- spised scientists, as a starter:
 Every weed takes from the soil some three hundred times it's own weight in water during the season.
 Eh? Does that suggest anything to you? It certainly ought to.

In regard to the trip, 1t was q very

This little Model 80 is the most con-
sistent performer that / ever drove.
We had no trouble of any sort, and
negotiated some very, very bad going,
where many others had 10 resort to
mules for assistance,
am still partial to the Knight

spots in this new Model 80; in fact,
it is a revelation to me.
Very truly yours,

DRIVES N.YEAR
OLD CADILLAC

Hardly O week phsses that the mail
does not bring to the Cadillac Motor
Car company letter telling of the re-
markable service given by one of its
earlier models. Owners write that their
cars have been driven from 100000 to
100000 miles. Many times they tell OF
particularly hard service performed,
and almost invariably they state that
the cars are still in good condition.
No exception to shis rule is Peter
Schoen, a farmer, who whites the COM
pany from LETTERS, Mimi, Ito let you
know that / am satisfied owner of
one of your model A, one-cylinder,
four passenger tonneau cars" Mr..
the car secondhand in 1905, and that
after running it over country roads
ever since, it is as good as when he
bought it. This model was built in
1903, so that. the car had seen two
years Of service prior to the time it
came into Mr.. Schoen's possession.
Mr.. Schoen says he has no doubt
that the engine is as good now as when
it was built. Il have taken good care
Of the machine" he says. ''Neverthe-
less, a car that is able to stand up as
many years as this one las, must have
quality and stability. The original
paint is on the car, and in fairly good
condition at that. ! have the machine
on the farm and make many trips to
town. The people crowd around it and
wonder that an old make Of car is
still able to skim the roads. OF course
explain that it is Cadillac, and
those knowing something about cars
know the difference. / am proud of the
old machine, since it gives me such
excellent service

.TILDEN SAYS THAT
BATTERIES WEAR OUT
"UnfOrtunnte But Sure as Fate" Said
Expert Battery Man Rest
Last Longest.

Batteries, like tires, wear out. It's
unfortunate, but sure as fate said
Howard b. Tilden, expert magnetic and
battery man, who has a service sta
ton at al Fifth street north. =.
THE best battery, then, is the one
which lasts longest--it is just as much
better than other batteries az its life Is
longer than theirs. Vigorous action
should of course, characterize its
work. Note, however, that while bat
teries, especially after they have had a
little time to get into the swing of their
work so as to give full capacity, are
energetic enough while new, the differ
ence in stamina between batteries shows
up strongly within year or earlier.
Length of life is assuredly the test of
battery quality.
"The main thing about battery is
its plates, just as the main thing about
an automobile Is it's power plant. It's
the plates that get into action when
you charge the battery-they then pro-
gress from one chemical state to an

gree of charge. The plates are again
In action during discharge, gradually
reverting to their before-charge state.
And it is nothing but the electrical
pressure between the positive and neg
through the work circuit when, for ex--
ample, you push the starting switch.
Upon the responsiveness of the plates
during charge and their liveliness dur

battery chiefly depends.
"This constant activity of the plates,
during repeated cycles of charge and

must be loss.

SMILE, WHETHER OR NOT YOU FEEL

Now is the time when a smile
will do more for The country than
almost anything else. 1t is a

there is less cause and more
need for smiles than at any time
in Americas history.
Our boys are going away, and
our hearts are sad, but we must
let the boys remember US as they
depart, not with tear dimmed
eyes and downward countenances
but with a proud smile that
comes of seeing our boys go out
