system Important Habit.

One of the most important habits to form is that of system. It Is a habit natural to some women, but to most 1t is an acquired one. It is generally a cultivated virtue. achieved through dogged persistence and in spite of many falling from grace. Some of the most Systematic persons can recall days when an utter lack of system dominated their lives. The discomfort they suffered then keeps them on guard lest they slip back into their old way of doing, It is best to begin to be systematic when one is young, but there is no bigger mistake than to consider unsystematic ways irremedi- able after youth has passed. Anyone can cure the fault of want of system and save oneself needless inconven- fences and increase one's usefulness to other people.-ExchanRe.

points to brilliant future in this line, which is more than justified by his opening production.
 Billie Burke, as Ma3ic Terry, clev- erly demonstrates novel method of finding both happiness-and hus- band. The latter she does by pro cess of elimination-that is, she goes incognito to nearby boarding house, where she takes up the life of an orr dinary working girl. although she is in reality an heiress. Here she meets three young men who promptly fall in love with her.
 Humorous episodes and thrilling adventures follow in rapid succession upon the heels of each other, until a fascinating and unexpected denoue- ment takes place which clears the atmosphere and gives just the right "happy ending"

What about that boy of yours?
That American boy. Have you con-
sidered his future as he is develop

fare keep step with his growth? Do
you spend your idle moments plan

that time playing billiards, and then
expect him to become a prodigy in
tellectually. Is he allowed to choose
his own profession or are you going
to make a professor out of material
that was intended to be first-class
machinist. Too little thought is be-
ing given to your boy; is it any won
der that he is out at night when the

SEVEN BILLIONS.

A writer in Leslie's Weekly has
made few computations to indicate
the vastness Of Americas S7.0a0.-
100000 war loan. He says:
Americas war loan of $1,000
100000 surpasses the powers Of The
mind to grasp. Spent at the rate of a
dollar a minute it would take 49,
31S years to dispose of the appropri-
alton. Loaned out at 6 per cent
thirteen dollars could be spent every
second for an indefinite period with
out touching the principal Convert
ed into silver dollars, the coined
pieces laid end to end would reach
more than four times around the
earth at the equator. Piled on TOP
of one another, these silver dollars
would extend nearly 900 miles in the
air. Made into dollar bills, they
would cover 26,656 acres"
The unfortunate fact is that this
81, 900, 100000 cannot be judged by
the length of time it would last If
spent at the rate OF dollar min
ute. 1t can only be considered with
reference to the length of time it will
last in the prosecution of the war.
Seven billion dollars would run
the world war just about seventy
days, If divided among all the belli-
gerents in proportion to their dali
ly expenditures. Great Britain's war
budget of 100000 a day would
eat up the entire American war loan
in just 200 days.
Seven billion dollars is big sum,

invested in excelsior, but It isn't
much in a world war,-Das Noines

WHEN COAL COST 81 A LOAD.


ment that it used to go down to the
coal mines in southern Marion coun-
ty and get load Of coal for rs
cents at the mines. In those days
coal was sold by the bushel AID the
price was around three cents bush
ell. Just why they ever sold coal by
the bushel we could never make out,
but the writer. who was born in
Marion county and was a boy there,
has himself hauled many a load of
coal from those primitive mines and
for a dollar or SO one could put
about all the coal on a wagon that an
ordinary farm team could pull. The
original coal mines in that part of
the state were not elaborate affairs.
We recall some Of them that were
mere runways into the side of hill
tunneling. The miners pushed their
carts out and in the passages being
too low for the use of animal power.
But neither was the coal Of the best
quality, although it enabled the peo-
PIE to get along.
But there is the reverse side. II
the farmer could get load of soft
coal for a dollar, he Jared not SO
well when he went to market to sell
his produce. The writer remembers
delivering, as boy, potatoes in the
markets at Is cents bushel and 20
to 80 cents were high prices for
corn-some years it was sold at Is
cents and in others it was worth al
most nothing. These were the days
when the state Of Iowa sent out COM
missioners to teach people to use
corn for human food 10 help create
a market for the cereal that was so
abundant. And as for cattle AID hogs,
two dollars and half to three and a
quarter were good prices for them on
from thirty to forty dollars was con-
sidered good and profitable animal,
as profits were then counted. The fiji
ty dollar animal was one that was
boosted of il a whole community.
The best steers of those days would
be considered mere scrubs in these
days. Wheat in those Gays, as we re-
call it, was apt to be worth good
money. 1t was in the days of flour
Ill he
soil was just becoming exhausted as
to wheat production, having been ov-
er-cropped' and otherwise neglected.
The bugs had become too strong and
too numerous in the impoverished
soil. Land was then worth around
Ihirtv dollars an acre and those who
predicted that some day it might go
I'D to fifty were considered the vision
aries of those days. But they were
great days nevertheless and 1otwith-
standing. There was great content
ment, so it seems now to be among
the people. Greed and ambition had
not yet entered the hearts of men
a1d just living, plain living at that,
seemed to be the main purpose of all
human beings. Wants were few and
people were easily satisfied. The
government itself seemed something
far removed from the people and its
hand was seldom felt on the people.
There were few regulations, no regu-
lators and taxes were low. Every
one worked, most everybody worked
