FARM EFFICIENCY.
indianapolis News.)

Efficiency, discoverer of seventeen
lost motions in the laying of bricks,
and accelerator in general to labor and
business has turned its questioning
eye upon the farmer. What it will
say to him and about him before it's
keen scrutiny Is ended, is best lert to
the imagination. But we may be sure
in the meantime that the II lost mo-
lions of the bricklayer will be a mere
pin-p prick in the armament compared
to the lost motions that efficiency
will uncover in the farmers business
Even now, with the investigation
hardly under way, speaking, as one
expert puts It, 'by and large" the
farmer works only three fourths of the
year. So, to begin with, the agricul-
turist at best Is only rs per cent eff
ficient. Until he learns how to work
as hard through the winter as he does
through the summer, he can hope for
no better grade. Indeed, even the rs
per cent grade is denied him. Lost
motion is charged against him in prac-
tically every operation in which he en-
cages, from going for the cows to
stacking hay. If we take tho word of
the experts for It, the average farm
efficiency Is disclosed when he sits
at the first table of noontime thresh-
Ing dinner.
But the farmer might do worse than
pay some heed TO the waste of time
and labor attendant upon most of the
work he performs. A little considera-
ton of the matter might lead to i'm
provements In general farm arrange
ment that would make for greater CON
venience and. So for less lost motion
Some changes. too, for the better
might be made in the interior arrange
nent of the barn. And when il comes
70 the farmhouse. the farmers wife
Is probably able to suggest half a. doz-
en- changes that viii save time and
tabor.

FRIENDS.

FRIENDS.
Oh, they are firmer friends by far
Than any other creatures are.
How happy their two lives must be
Blessed with such perfect sympathy!
Where is the pair so fond as they,
Together through the whole long day?
Indeed, it's sure they'd spend the night
On one same pillow If they might.
(And to be very frank with you,
At times-and unbeknoWn-they dol
Each lives but for the others joy.
They are a puppy and boy.
It's easier to be philosophical about
other peoples troubles than it is to be
quiet about your own.
OH
The mover took the large hall clock
Right through the door. My
goodness lands!"
Said little Dot, you've surely got
A lot of time upon your hands,"
WISE GUY.
No tabled wealth. no languid ease,
No princes boon his days enrich,
Why should he hope for such as these,
Why should h" wish and yearn and
itch?
Says he, II have my simple task,
And health and food and several
shirts.
These are enough. Why should I ask
For more than are my just deserts!"
Perhaps he's right. And we suppose
To ask for more, he Is too good.
And then again, perhaps he knows
He'd never get 1t If he should!

BLEM OF CONNECTING THE MAN AND THE 10

Not in the five years that the In

has been in existence has it enjoyed
more prosperous year than the pres
ent one ending August /, 1917. Since
its inception in Trinidad, August 10,
1913, the objects outlined by the dele
gates who formed the temporary or
ganization Of the Conference, have
been slowly but in most cases favor
ably carried out.
There are n great many features to
the Conference not yet fully appre-
ciated by some of our small locals,
but who as soon as their officers be-
come more permanently established
thru better wages and suitable work.
ing conditions that will eventually
come by organization propaganda,
will cooperate with the other locals
already affiliated with the Conference
in helping to elevate the printing
trade in locals remotely situated in
this intermountain district.
Problem of Unemployed,
This district organization is being
supported by the largest locals in its
jurisdiction, and none there are but
who will commend the purposes al
ready being accomplished, as they
know, thru their experienced officers,
that one Of the greatest burdens is be-
ing removed from their midst, which
is no less than that menace to the
printing trade, the problem of the un-
employed. These affiliated locals ap-
