Quaintness, that element which has

simplest of garmets. Spring styles
will emphasize the distinctive, but by
no means obliterate the bizarre. Al
though there will be no really daring

REAL BENEFACTORS.

If to make two blades OF grass grow where
only one grew formerly is an achievement OF
the highest value, as has been said, an UMPIRE
tentious farmer OF the Saskatchewan, one Sea
ger Wheeler, is a conspicuous benefactor OF his
race He holds FIVE international champion
ships for wheat production besides many lesser
honors and the worlds record crop OF eighty
two bushels to the acre. His improved varieties
of wheat have made millions OF dollars for Can
adian farmers, yet he remains in moderate cir
cumstances, living simply ON his one hundred
and sixty acre farm The Queens university at
Kingston has recognized his eminent services
to humanity by comforting ON him an honorary
degree.
To make life easier, happier for hosts OF peo-
pie, to Tighten their labors and add to their
pleasure for Improvement by bringing needs
within their reach-what other achievement
measured In terms Of human welfare is compar-
able to this? To scatter plenty over the land
is the glory of rulers who are worthy to rule;
and to brighten the common lot by increasing
the common prosperity is the surprising service
that can be rendered to the race. Inventors often
do this and developers of new or more valuable
natural products-animals, cereals, fruits. These
workers and scientists who point the way for
them and philanthropists who diffuse the oppor
tunities for knowledge are real benefactors of
mankind

THE BEST IN HARDING.

Davenport Times; There never
was a convention Of either party SO
comparatively free Of bosses, and the
men who undertook to lead found II
difficult at times even to control
their own state delegations. The re
suit therefore, is the expressed desire
OF the rank and file of the delegates,
and Of the party to emphasize
sound conservatism, clear-cut
Americanism, wise policy with re-
gard to public questions, and eff
cient administration of national af-
fairs.
Senator Warren G. Harding. of
Ohio, is an American of whom all
may be proud; he is an administrator
Of experience; he is tried leader
whose ability is unquestioned; he is
a trustworthy man in every sense of
the word. There will be no execu-
tive usurpation under his leadership,
for his will be mind open to sug-
gestlons and he will not fail to keep
in touch with The country A practical
man. he will not esDouse a theory

EVIL, IN TEE NOLAN BILL.

The bill introduced IN the house during the
last session by Congressman Nolan would,
should it becoJae law, impose an annual fed
eral tax OF one Der cent on all income from land
OF ten thousand dollars and over. All the dem
onstrated shortage Of farm products which the
world is facing seems to have taught nothing
to some Of the men who attempt TO secure the
passage Of new legislative acts. 1t would seem
as though the burden under which the farmers
of the country are struggling is heavy enough
without attempting to add TO it by Legislation
along the lines Of the Nolan bill. WhiJa a law
based on the lines Of that bill would encourage
tie tendency, Already too far widespread, to-
ward the abandonment Of the farm on the part
OF farnn-bred boys it would, In the very nature
OF things, add to the cost of living Of the city
consumer of farm products. The surest way to
reduce the cost Of agricultural food products is
to encourage farm production and the imposi-
tion of special and discriminative tax on the
income of the farmer will have just the opposite
effect

The Psychological Effect.

Forbes Magazine: That a complaint
desk prominently placed in a busy
office is bad is the experience OF
Ralph EIsman, president of the Kings
County Lighting company. When he
became general manager. of the conf
pany in 1917 he moved his desk out
side in the busiest corner in the place
and one Of the first things that i'm
pressed him was the psychological
effect of the complaint desk. People
would come in the office smiling to
pay their bills. Then their eyes would
wander over to the sign on the coll-
plant desk. While waiting their turn
at the cashiers window they would
listen intently to the wrangling and
the arguing. When they had paid
their bill they would, as likely as
not, go to the complaint desk to air
real or fancied grievance. Soon a
line would formal waiting for a
chance to complain, and the longer
they had to wait the hotter they
would get. Mr.. Elsman decided then
and there that the complaint desk
would have to go. Now they have
an adjuster in a separate Office. The
customer is ushered there quietly, and
sits in an easy chair while the data
as to the service rendered him are
being taken for complete card In,

tion. There is no line. and conse-
