FIRST PRINCIPLES OF SAVING
Men Must Look to the Future II There
10 to Be Any Progress Made
by the World.

Socialists claim that the world would
be better off If every man received and
consumed all that he produced so that
nobody could accumulate wealth or be-
come more prosperous than his neigh
Dor. If all men were equally strong,
intelligent, honest and industrious,
such a state might be possible; but the
superman must come first.
If small group Of men living by
themselves save nothing and do no
work to- improve their future, they
will not progress. They would have to
build and otherwise create real wealth
for future use, or they would remain
barbarians. The, aborigines of Amer
lea, Australia and most of Africa lived
from hand to mouth for ages. Ameri-
can Indians were practical socialists,
and they made no progress, though
they were physically strong and intel
lectually bright. They remained barba-
rians because they gave no thought to
the future.
Ii few men, beginning with Moth
ing more than means of bare susie
nance, put aside every year tokens Of
value, such as gold, acceptable to them
selves, or build houses, make tools,
cloth and other things of value that
can be kept for future use they will
improve their condition in life and
grow rich in proportion to their indus
dustry and thrift. The accumulation Of
gold or other money is secondary
matter. Real wealth can be accumu-
lated in other ways, but money Is a
convenience that standardizes values
and has become indispensable to our
form of civilization.
When wealth has been accumulated
the community is benefited by it's exist
ence. AS 1t grows, roads can be built,
pure water can be brought into the
towns, etc. Such progress is impos-
slble If there is no store of wealth
from which to draw to pay or sustain
the men who do the work before it be-
comes productive. It may be said that
other members of the community could
give part OF the wealth they produce
while public works are being construct
ed. That is true, but it would be the
exact accumulation of wealth to which
reference Is made, and it's outward
and visible sign would be the roads
and the waterworks. By giving part
OF their earnings or products for such
a purpose they put aside something of
value for future use, in this case roads
and a water system.
Someone has to save If any progress
s to be made, and the more that save
me faster will be the rate of progress
md the greater the prosperity of the
community. What the masses lack is
correct understanding Of their common
nterest.-New York Commercial.

CAREFUL SELECTION

ESSENTIAL TOOLS FOR PRUNING,

This type of primer leaves stubs, and
they should always be avoided.
Heading Back Small Limbs. -
"The pole primer cannot be safely
used except in heading back the small
limbs. Here it is a great time saver
and is valuable tool. 1t is sure to
leave stubs, however, when used on
large limbs.
"The pruning saw is the most inn
portant tool in dealing with the older
trees, especially In the neglected Or
chard. Many Of the saws offered for
this work are not only worthless but
a menace. The two-edged saw has
nothing to recommend its use, and it
may badly damage the trees. The meat
saw type is recommended by some men
because the blade can be turned
so that work may be done In
close crotches. The point that gives
this saw its advantage is also point
against it. The blade has tendency
to turn while cutting and often makes

BEST TOOLS ARE ESSENTIAL IN ORCHARD


f. Do you want to prune your fruit
trees successfully? II you do, good
tools are essential. ,rl .--. Kos.
No man who pretends to be a fruit
grower will be satisfied to work with
out the best Implements says F. s.
Merrill, assistant In horticulture in
the Kansas State Agricultural COL
lege.
"For the young trees" continues
Mr.. Merrill, "the best tool is the
pruning knife, preferably of the
hawk-bill type, If the knife is kept
well sharpened, the cuts may be
made smoother and closer to the
trunk than with any other tool.
Shears for Young Trees.
"The pruning shears or hand
shears are widely used, especially for
young trees. There are many diff
ferent types of shears but there are
few good ones. The steel should be
considered in making a selection.
The cheap shears will always prove
most expensive. The shears having
a volute spring /chave given better
than most types. The
hand shears can be worked more cas-
lily and rapidly than the knife, but the
cuts cannot be made so close. A slop-
ing cut should be made to prevent

"The long-handled shears are widely
used among fruit growers because of

payments for long periods in advance
are not solicited at the present low
rate. What is wanted is to get every
body about even and let the new
price apply to all alike.
At the present time a careful sift-
ing is being made of the list, and
a good many people who are con-
sidered able to pay up and have
neglected to do SO and neglected to
arrange for longer term of credit
will be dropped and an agency en-
ployed to look after the collection
of arrears. This does not apply yet
to families who are known to be poor
and who are doing the best they can.

crooked cut that requires another at
tack before a smooth surface can be
had. 1t is also too heavy, and the
back prevents continual cut through
large limb. It cuts rapidly, how
ever, and the low price of blades
makes it possible to have a sharp saw
at all times.
Using California Saw.
"The California saw has a curved
blade making draw cut. This saw
Is well adapted to light work in the
orchard and can be used to advan-
tage in the smaller trees.
"A saw that has been used widely
In the East can be, generally recon:
mended for the heavier pruning. This
saw has a comparatively narrow. blade,
being three and one-half inches wide
at the butt and one inch wide at the
tip, and having seven teeth to the inch.
1t has a full grip handle so that it
may be used with the gloved hand.
The blade may be had in lengths vary
ing from IS to "a inches. This saw
works rapidly and is light in weight,
durable and well balanced. The mar
row blade makes it adapted to close
work.
"Many implements have been Of

most OF them are too unwieldy and
many are too crude in workmanship to
merit their use.

much study was devoted TO n fruitless
research into the mechanical arts for
machinery that would drive a vehicle

To promote easy starting OF a GOLD
motor, they have devised an enrich.

operated by a small lever located ON
the steering column. The intake mani

usual length, insuring proper vaporl'

after starting.
The temperature OF the water IS
thus quickly raised because OF the
thermOstatic controls which the Cad
