Germany believed that England would

could not offer material resistance. She
believed that even ii Belgium did resist

to Paris in two weeks. She believed that
Russia could not mobilize her men pow

Britain's colonies would not support her

would break away. She looked for rev.

A Man Who Made Valley Prosper.

In the February American Magazine a
writer says:
"The Puyallup valley in Pierce county
western Washington, is insignificant in
area. Fifteen years ago the farmers liv-
ing in the little valley were broke Last
year they raised S1,l26000 worth of ber-
ries on a little strip of land scarcely two
miles wide and IL miles long, running
along the valley which lies at the foot of
Mt. Rainier.
"Now, marketing a million dollar berry
crop is mans job. 1t means distribut-
ing $50 carloads of fresh berries before
they can deteriorate, and doing it in such
way that the market is not over sup
piled at any one point, and the prices
hold firm all along the line. And it
means great many other things: deal
ing with waste products, transportation
problems, new outlets, settling dissen-
sions, creating harmony and making
profits.
''The man who does this job, and who
has built UP what is probably the most
successful cooperative selling organiza-
ton in the United States is Mr.. w. H.
Paulhamus.
His first step was to build up mar
kets. When he began to talk of carlot
the growers were dubious.
They had been sending out about 5000
crates annually in express-lot shipments.
When he sent the first carload to Mon
tana and sold the berries at profit, the
growers were jubilant. He got in touch
with brokers and commission men all
over the Northwest, and now you can
buy fresh raspberries from this valley in
grocery stores and on fruit stands scat
tered about Wyoming, Montana, the Ds-
Sotas, Minnesota. in Canada, and even in
Chicago and Texas. Last year the asso
,istion shipped out $50 carloads of fresh
berries"

Those Idle Hours.

"We have never had very much faith
in the idea that winter is time when
the average farm family hibernates
around the kitchen stove says writer
in Farm and Fireside. considering the
shortness Of the daylight, not much time
remains for leisure when the days sim
plest duties are performed. There is the
pump to 'thaw out, stock to feed, wood
to carry colts to break, children to take
to and from school, supplies to get in
town, snow to shovel, meals to eat, and
chores to do again.
"For those who find that time still
hangs heavy ON their hands, here are a
few of the more standard winter time
killers modern civilization has added:
0verhauling the automobile, eoncreting
posts indoors, sharpening all the farm
and household tools, putting in modern
filling the icehouse, read
ing incubator and seed catalogues, at
tending farmers week at the agricul-
tural college, addressing the local farm
ers' institute, pruning the orchard, test
ing seed corn, hauling out the manure,
starting an account system, balancing
the dairy rations, laying out the system
of drains, selecting the tractor, and
writing for your farm paper. The old
fashioned man who used to spend the
winter playing checkers has son who
takes that time to send checks to his
sons and daughters at college"

Railroad Saves Newspapers.

An old newspaper, left by passenger
in railroad coach, is not apt to be re.
markable for its value. But let someone
gather up the newspapers that hundreds
of people leave behind them each day,
and during the course of year the val
ue of the aggregate is going to reach a
tidy sum.
The Lehigh Valley efficiency men have
found the saving of these papers an econ
omy worth practicing. Accordingly, the
company has bought seven paper bsling
machines which will be used to bale the
waste papers found in the trains of the
system.
These machines have been installed at
Jersey City, Easton, Hazelton, Wilkes
Barre, Savre. Auburn and Buffalo-the
division points of the line. Not only
will they be used to bale the paper found
on trains. but will be utilized also to
bundle the waste paper picked up in the
Offices of the company.
The bales viii be sent to the COM
pany's storehouses at Packerton. Pa.
where the paper will be reduced to pulp
by macerating machine recently in
stalled at that pOint.-Buffalo Express.
