WORLD OWES MUCH TO WATT
Scotsman the First to Realize and
Make Practical the Wonderful
Power of Steam.

Science took tear from the cheek
of unpaid labor, converted 1t into steam
and created q giant which turns with
tlreless arms the countless wheels of
toll"
Thus Ingersoll's poetic explanation
Of the origin Of the transformation
of pent-up steam into controlled and
lndustrially valuable mechanical &c.
ton. Elaborated In q more prosalc
manner, James Watt, young Scotch.
man Of Glasgow, and an instrument
maker by trade, once had an Idea. 1t
was most revolutionary idea. Men
had been working on steam engines
for many centuries, but they had pro-
duced nothing Of any practical value.
In the engines Of that period steam
was admitted into only one end Of the
cylinder, and about the only use such
an engine had was to pump water. And
It wasn't very good at that. AS for
using an engine to turn a wheel-why,
nobody had thought Of that. 1t SIM
ply wasn't being done. But James did
1t. He let steam into both ends Of the
cylinder instead Of only one, put fly.
wheel on the end Of shaft and q
crank on the other, and there was the
steam engine, oil ready for Its real
business.
Watt was born In Greenock, Scot
land, on January 10, 1876, his father
being a builder, contractor and mer-
chant.

the way you do over It, and I am
where | can see you shlne"-he took
hold of both her hands, $50 long rs
it's like that, you wonder" he said,
'well, the dinners and the operas and
all that may be pidle, but l shall be
blind to the fact"
She kissed both his hands and told
him contentedly that he was darling.
But, after a moments silence, a little
frown puckered her eyebrows and she
asked him what he was so solemn
about.
Well, he had told her the truth.
But precisely as he said it, he felt that
he was not the same man he had been
six months ago. Not the man who had
tramped impatiently back and forth
across Frederica's drawing-room, ex-
pounding his ideals Of space and lei
sure. Not the man who despised the
clutter Of expensive junk. That man
would have derided the possibility
that he could ever say this thing that
he, still Rodney Aldrich, had just said
to Rose-and meant. And the terrlfy-
ing thing was that he hadn't resisted
the change-hadn't wanted to resist
didn't want to now, as he sat there
looking at the slumbrous glory of her
eyes.
So, when she asked him what he
was looking so solemn about, he said
with more truth than he pretended
to himself, that 1t was enough to make
anybody solemn to look at her.

FARMING NOW
A BUSINESS
The Modern Day Farmer Applies
Business Methods and Seeks
More Than a Living on
the Farm.

A nationwide cry Is being made for
more economy and greater production,
and probably never was the need OF
foodstuffs equal to that Of the present.
Grain prices are the highest In the ma
tion's history and today the agricul-
tural fields of America offer induce
ments that are unequaled In any other
line Of commerce or business. The
ideal life Is that close to nature, en-
joylng the freedom Of Gods great out
doors and fulfilling duty to human
lty by producing from fertile soil
that which Is essential to the very ex-
lstence Of a less fortunate people who
are actually starving to death for food
stuffs that can be produced so eco
nomically In the United States and
Canada.
High prices for all grains, undoubt-
edly, will be maintained for number
Of years, and 1t appears certainty
that the agriculturist will reap q
bounteous return for his labor and at
the same time carry out the demands
Of patriotic citizenship. A wrong con-
ception has been generally noticed as
to "Life on the Farm" 1t has been,
to n large extent, considered as only
n place to live peacefully and afford a
living for those who are satisfied with
merely q comfortable existence. Such
wrong impression has been created,
in q measure, by the lack of systema-
tic business principles to farming In
general. But today farming and agri-
culture have been given q supremacy
in the business world and require the
same advanced methods as any other
line Of commerce. In no other busi-
ness does n system adoption pay bet
ter than on the farm, and 1t Is certain
that there Is no other line Of work,
that, generally speaking, needs 1t as
much. The old Idea of getting living
off the farm and not knowing how 1t
was made and following up the details
Of each branch Of farming to get the
maximum of profit, at the least ex-
pense, is fast being done away with.
Farming Is now being considered as
a business and q living Is not sufficient
for the modern agriculturist; a small
per cent on The investment Is not
enough, the present-day farmer must
have a percentage return equal to that
of other lines of business. The prices
for produce are high enough, but the
cost of producing has been the factor
In many places, that has reduced the
profit. It is the application of n sys'
TEN to the cost of various work on the
farm that It is possible to;give figures
on profits made in graln-growing In
Western Canada.
Mr.. G. a. Wright of Milo, Iowa
bought hundred and sixty acres OF
land In Western Canada for $1,000 ir
December, 1915, and took his first croT
from it in 1916. After paying for the
land in full and the cost Of cultivatinl
it and marketing the grain, he sold hi:

compared with the present markeD

Greville intended 1t to be taken. But
her look flashed out beyond the con-
fines of the circle and encountered a
pair of big, luminous eyes, under
brows that had a perplexed pucker in
them. Whereupon she laughed straight
into Roses face and said, lifting her
head little, but not her voice:
"Come here, my child, and tell me
who you are and why you were looking
at me like that"
Rose flushed, smiled that irresistible
wide smile Of hers, and came, not
frightened bit, nor, exactly, EN-
barrassed; certainly not into pretend
ing she was not surprised, and little
breathlessly at loss what to say.

words, say, "Tm just Rose Aldrich."
It was the little bend in her voice
that carried that impression. "And /

s. Joseph and Sons Of Des Molnes,
Ia, are looked upon as being shrewd,
careful business men. Having some
spare money on hand, and looking for
suitable investment, they decided to
purchase Canadian lands, and farm
them.
With the assistance of the Canadian
Government Agent, at Des Moines, Ia,
they made selection near Champion,
Alberta. They put 240 acres Of land
In wheat, and In writing to Mr.. Hew-
lit, The Canadian Government Agent
at Des Moines, one Of the members of
the firm says: 81 have much pleasure
In advising you that on our farm five
miles east Of Champion, In the Prov
ince of Alberta, Canada. this year
(1a16) we harvested and threshed TO-
600 bushels Of wheat from 240 acres,
this being an average of "A bushels
and 10 pounds to the acre. A con-
siderable portion Of the wheat was
No. l Northern, worth at Champion,
approximately $1.85 per bushel, max
ing total return Of $19,810 or an av-
erage Of SS1.70 per acre gross yields.
And by aid of thorough system were
able to keep the cost Of growing wheat
at about 25 cents q bushel."
Messrs. Smith & Sons of Vulcan,
Alberta, are growers Of wheat on
large scale and have demonstrated
that there Is greater profit in Western
Canada wheat-raising than probably in
any other business anywhere. Speak
ing of their experience Mr.. Smith
says:

CHAPTER v.
The Princess Cinderella.

me Princess CInueTeiid.
When the society editor Of "Ame-
ricas foremost newspaper" as in Its
trademark 1t proclaims itself to be,
announced that the Rodney Aldriches
had taken the Allison McCraes' house,
furnished, for a year. beginning In
October, she spoke of 1t as an ideal
arrangement. AS everybody knew, 1t
was an Ideal house for young
married couple, and 1t was equally
evident that the Rodney Aldriches
were an ideal couple for 1t.
In the sense that 1t left nothing to
further realization, 1t was an ideal
house, an old house In the Chicago
sense, built over into something very
much older still - Tudor, perhaps -
Jacobean, anyway. In the supplement
tary matters of furniture, hanglngs,
rugs and pictures, the establishment
presented the last politely spoken word
In things as they ought to be. If you
happened to like that sort Of thing,
It was precisely the sort Of thing you'd
like.
The same sort of neat. fully ac-
qulred perfection characterized the
McCrae's domestic arrangements.
Every other year they went off around
the world in one direction or another,
and rented their house, furnished, for
exactly enough to pay oil their ex-
penses. On the alternate years they
came back and spent two years In
come living in their house.
Florence McCrae was an old friend
OF Rodney's and it was her notion that
1t would be just the thing he'd want.
Rodney knew for himself what the
house was-complete down to the
corkscrews. And six thousand dollars
q year was simply dirt cheap.
To cllnch the thing, Florence went
around and saw Frederick about 1t.
And Frederica, after listening, non
committally, dashed off to the last
meeting of the Thursday club (all this
happened in June, just before the
wedding )and talked the matter over
with Violet Williamson on the way
home, afterward.
John said once" observed Violet,
"that If we had to live in that house,
he'd either go out and buy plush
Morris-chair from feather-your-nest
Saltzmans. and a golden-oak side
board or else run amuck."
Frederica grinned, but was sure 1t
wouldn't affect Rodney that way.
AS for Rose, she thought Rose would
like it-for a while, anyway. But this
wasn't the point. I'm so-foolish
about old Rodney, that I can't be sure
