He Idea of Justice.

A well known Philadelphia lawyer
tells Of an enterprising man in that city
who retained him to prosecute an ac-
ton. Consultation with the plaintiffs
witnesses revealed the fact that their
stories were most conflicting and con
sequently far from convincing. This
fact was communicated by the lawyer
to his client, and the latter was advised
to drop the suit. After some hesitation
the client said that he would have a
talk with the witnesses and the next
day inform the lawyer what he would
do in the matter. The next day the eli.
ent appeared, quite cheerful and with
the air of man who has won a good
fight.
81 have talked to all Witnesses" said
he. "and they all say they must have
been mistaken when they conferred
with you. They all see It alike now. I
have also seen some of the jurymen,
and they think / will win. Now, II
there is such thing as justice In law,
we can't lose" Chicago Herald.

at the young man who appeared the
dullest of the students. and when he
perceived that this one understood he
knew all the others did.

explained this habit Of his to some
friends when young man entered and

Flies About Barns.
It's a hard proposition to control
flies around the dairy barn ana pig
pens after they once get started. A
pint of live flies left to breed and
make life miserable for the STOCK
will have so increased in 4 weeks
time that you will have Dushel u
them to fight and kill. Better plan
to try the Michigan College formula
to control them right now before
more are bred This formula COSTS
~ little yet gives quick results
They report that within 10 minutes
after spraying the mixture on the
barn walls and floors and on the
pig pen fences that they had car
pet of dead flies that had ceased TO
carry disease and filth. Buy one

Add one pint of molasses. Stir

ANY good lubrricating oil is as
good or better than crude oil. Bet

it onto their shoulders, around their

away hog lice.
Exhibits For Fairs.
Now is the time to plan for your
exhibit at the State Fair the last
week in September. Exhibit and
you get into contact with exhibitors
And contact, some one has said,
lis the great means OF learning.
Anything that will increase this con
tact in experience means greater
success and this explains why farm
ers are visiting each other now more
than in past years.
Learn by contact at fairs and eX-
hibitions Take your exhibit to the
State Fair this year and compare
with the other fellow. The biggest
prize is to realize why you produc-
ed a better exhibit than he. Or to
learn how he produced better than
you. Better plan tU pick out your
prize grains during the next two
weeks. Send wheat, oats, barley, peas
rye, ETC. And when you exhibit
these at the Fair if your neighbor
has better material than you have
then is the time to buy some of
his superior stuff for seeding next
year. If you have raised grain bet
ter than he exhibits you may have
the pleasure of selling him his seed
supply at seed prices. Exhibit at
the Fair. Contact is the great means

GIVES SECRET OF SUCCESS
George w. Perkins Method 10 to Live
Every Day as II II Were to Be
the Only One.

"My own method has been to live
every day as though it was the only
day had to live, and to crowd every
thing possible into that day. Pay no
attention to the clock or what you
are paid, but work and live for all
that is in it-just as you play foot
ball-and everything else will take
care Of ITSELF" said George w. Per.

1.-The head Of the table is the place
where there is most room. 1t is the
tree that grows and grows until 1t
overtops the others that gets the most
air and sunshine. The thing for the
young man to do is to strive with all
the energy he possesses to excel in
actual ability.
Pull is not necessary. Nor should
young man bother too much about
his wages. I never asked an increase
in my life. You can command sooner
or later what you are entitled to-if
you prominently deserve it.
But you have got to be ultra-profi-
cient In some particular thing. You
must stand out and do 1t better than
the fellows around you whether you
are an office boy, stenographer or an
executive. You must use your head
as we'll as your hands. Don't be afraid
to do extra work lest 1t interfere with
