The Man Who Thinks,

A man with dirty face and hands,
shirt soaked with perspiration, stopped,
laid down his dinner bucket, rolled
broken knuekle out Of the pathway be
tween the tracks, put it close up against
the ends Of the ties, where no one could
stumble over it, picked up his dinner
bucket and plodded home.
More than fifty other employees had
preceded this man, each one carefully
picking his way around the obstruction.
I asked this man why he took the
trouble to roll the knuckle out OF the
pathway. He seemed surprised at such
q question and said, why, some Of the
boys might get bad fall il that knuc-
kle was there after dark" | said, "All
the other men passed it by" and he re-
piled: "Oh, they're all good boys.
They'd have done the same thing If
they'd thought about it."
He said something didn't he?

yes. 'if they'd thought about it"-Erie

the same class of people is essential
to every hour of the existence of the

1t is time that the responsibility for
bad men in office, for invisible gov

evil influences to control the election.

Makinq a Garden.

A garden should not be considered
"a q piece of wild nature nor plants re-
garded as architectural ornaments, for
one must not do violence to the other.
Above all must there be harmony.
Otherwise the builder has labored In
vain. for he has not made a picture
that artists care to reproduce.
In garden building never initiate ma
ture with intent TO deceive, but where
natural beauty already exists make
use of it and add to it. Banks to be
restrained often have large outcrop-
ping rocks. Make use Of them even
if the remainder Of the wall is of dis

The Rubber Situation.

We us people are almost absolutely
dependent on Great Britain for our
supply OF crude rubber, as the great
plantations are largely controlled by
British capital. There are several pos
Sibilities for making US independent Of
any other country for our crude rubber
supply. One is plant called guayule,
which is even now being successfully
raised in this country and which has
been successfully raised in Mexico
There are several other rubber bearing
plants also which might be raised in
this country. But the largest field
seems to be the Philippine Islands,
where plantation rubber can be pro-
duced chrap.y and well. Capital has
held off, owing to the uncertain future
of these islands. but local conditions
there are ideal for a large rubber In
