Efficiency Magazine: The Tired
Business Man, otherwise known as
the T. B. M, has often no excuse for
his fatigue. Nine-tenths of it is often
sheer habit and self pity. No healthy
man is ever tired out by hard days
work. That is all fudge. No nor
NAL man ever uses up all his energy
in days work.
Most men are tired because they
think they are. They have lost in
terest in their work. They are In
different They don't care. Natur-
ally, they are tired.
If hard work were hurtful. many OF
us would have been dead long ago.
So-put this question to yourself
Am l really tired at the end of
days work. or have 1 lost my in
terest In my job?

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Secretary
I the Navy Daniels was of the opin-
pm today that practically all German
upmarines have gone back to their
sses. The latest official report on
momarine sinkings showed practi-
ally none and the secretary knew of
10 additional sinkings since that re.
lort.

STAFF IS GIFT OF MAN
For the First Time National Emblem
Floats Over Fine Building
Housing Red Cross and
Others.

Sharp against the sky there floated
for the first time Monday above the
Y. w. c. A. building, a handsome
American flag.
Many passing noted the new white
pole and the bright color of the flag.
The flag has been the property of the
Iassocia ton for some time and was a
gift of Terrence post G. A. R., and
the Woman's Relief Corps.
There was no suitable place about
the building to properly display so
/ large a flag, and it was improperly
there was no other place for it and
the demands on the association funds
did not permit the erection of a pole.
When the new general secretary
came this fall, she determined that
the flag sholld be properly placed and
decided that during the united war
aid campaign an American flag must
float above the building.
The Secretary and the Manager.
This young woman did some tigur-
ing and decided to visit a lumber
office; being stranger in Keokuk
she went to the first office where she
saw a sign displayed, and asked to
see one of the managers.
She was ushered into an Office and
asked for figures on flag pole to be
placed on the Y. W.. c. A. building.
The manager said:
You go back to the blilding and
forget about it, and we'll put up a
flag pole before the week is out"
C. D. Streeter was the lumberman.

The Daily Life of a Naval Officer

Truck Described.

Throw Huge Shells at
Huns In Retreat.

Some interesting atmosphere
around the new, biggest guns our
navy made, shipped across the At
lantic and is shooting from railroad
tracks far inland, is furnished by a
recent letter to his parents here by
Lieutenant Ralston Hayden, Of the
navy and one Of the naval railway
batteries.
The train that contains the i'm
mense guns, information about which
was released from the censorship the
other day, also contains the state
rooms of the officers. That of Lieu
tenant Hayden contains two very
good kerosene lamps with a regula-
ton ship bunk. The staterooms are
nicely finished and furnished as on
board naval vessels.
Really it is too soft" this officer
writes, war de luxe, you might call
it, and Davis and 1 often lament that
we are not aviators or in the ma
rines. But Iexpect that we shall pay
up for this luxury one way or an
other"
Comfortable Quarters.
The same car contains other state
rooms, a dispensary, dining room and
washstands. The dining room is pre-
sided over by a Filipino who came
to the battery via the Pacific coast
and Philadelphia and arrived SILVER
ing with the cold.
"The tracks are splendidly put in,
the roadbeds being of clean, white
gravel, another instance of the mag
nificent work being done by the army
engineers" says the letter, which
says in another place:
II am constantly working on the
gunnery end, and the trig book you
sent me has stood me in mighty good

"The guns already in action are
making good beyond all hopes and
expectations. and l wish l could tell
you about it. / can't write any more
about it, but it's great stuff.
"The last few days l have spent
working out gunnery problems" Lieu
tenant Hayden, who commands one
of these biggest gun batteries, writes
later, "and Pm developing quite an

UTILIZE WASTE LANDS
Patch-Work Farming Should Be Done Away With At Once.
No Better Time for Putting Things to Right Than Winter Months Line of Tile Would Make
 Wet Hollow Productive.

It's time to do away for all time with the patchwork farming that is a reproach in so many sections, and replace 1t with broad. open. well or dered fields When we see q farm with fence rows overgrewn with brlers and bushes. wet hollows that grow nothing but crop of weeds. plum thiekets and hrier patches that alter nate with gnlIfed and galled hillsides, we know at once we've found sloven- ly, uHbusinesslike, unsuccessful farm CT. Moreover we suspect that his mental workings are like his fields slovenly, patchv ill-ordered. with no system or method. Such man on such | farm is setting an example that Is bad for his children and his com munitS. Becoming accustomed to such things. they will become content with them.
 There is no better time than the fall and winter months for putting these things to rights. There's many wet hollow, worthless in it's present shape, that line of tile or a good open ditch will make one of the most productive pieces of land on the farm. Patches of bushes and briers. too. must go. They look bad, in the first place. and they occupy land that ought to be at work.

 Tn feeding those growing pigs. do not forget that the larger they grow the better. If they are worth producing, they are certainly worth the extra feed and care it takes to develop them. No man ever made anything by starving them, unless there was lack of good blood. If he hasn't the good blood, the quicker he gets 1t the better. The old saying, A good one is worth pasture full of ordinary ones," Is just as true today as it has always been.

Montague, in the Atlantic. The first act of the great drama was war and blood and destruction but now there begins to be great hope faring through the darkness in many different quarters, and voices of many watchmen set upon towers begin to cry the glimmer of daybreak.

ABUSE OF FARM MACHINERY
One of Largest Losses to American Farmer Is Neglect of implements
 Gan Be Prevented.

CBy F. B. DORIAN. Louisiana Experiment.
 Station)
 One of the largest losses Tn Aneri- can agriculture Is caused by the mis- use of farm machinery. Much of this loss can be prevented by proper care and watehfulness on the part of the operator. The seIf-binder is an agri- cultural machine that requires close attention. It Is not so durable as some of the other farm implements for two reasons: First, II has q larger ProPor- ton of rapidly moving parts; and, sec ond, 1t does not have large, heavy casting as foundation or base, but is merely a light framework of steel rods. straps and angle pieces.
 Gasoline engines, feed cutters, pumps and moving machines have heavy cast-iron frames or foundations, which are lacking in the binder. This means that if the same return is to be had from money invested in a moving machine il must be given unusual at- tention and must he protected from the weather and from careless opera tors. The braces must he properly se- cured and adjusted, the bearings must be in line there must be no undue lost motion, the parts intended to he held in rigid alignment must he held that way, and moving parts must move freely.

Consul Frank W.

The number also declined in 1915 compared. with 1914. Failures have decreased about half since the war began.
