Chickens Look Nice.

Chickens are a nice thing to have
about. They look nice. They are
useful. The ROSTERS wake us up III
the morning and tell US when there
is to be a change of feather, mhile
the hens lay nice eggs that hatch
broods of downy chicks that devel-
op into spring fries, and when the old
hens become ~leterans because they
have been pets or have escaped get
ting their heads knocked off for get
ting into other peoples gardens, they
are shipped to Chicago and served In
the restaurants as 'springers." NO
one, when garden time comes, will in
tentionally or maliciously permit their
chickens to destroy their own or 9TH
er gardens, and no neighbor feel
like knocking a chicken over and
throwing it over the fence, though
the law gives you that right. And
as soon as gardens have been plowed
and the chickens have been permitted
to feast on angle and grub worms the
fowls are penned up with an occas-
ional exception, which is a detriment
to neighboring gardens. Let us all
be careful and pen u chickens up
during garden time, which produces
a good %neighborly feeling all around
and sweetens our dispositions.

How to Get on in the World.

Most of our successful men began
Wife without a dollar. They have
won success by hard work and strictly
honesty. You do the same. Here are
rules for getting on in the world:
/. Be honest. Dishonesty seldom
makes one rich, and when it does,
riches are a curse. There is no such
thing as dishonest success.
2. Work. The world is not going
to pay for nothing. Ninety per cent.
of what men call genius is only a
talent for hard work.
3. Enter into that business or trade
you like best, and for which nature
seems to have fitted you, providing it
is honorable.
4. Be independent. Do not lean
on others to do your thinking or to
conquer difficulties.
5. Be conscientious in the dis
charge of every duty. Do your work
thoroughly. No one can rise who
Sights his work.
6. Don't try to begin on top. Be-
gin at the bottom and you will be
surer of reaching the top, some time.

Racial Blood Tests Suggest Dual
Origin of Man.

That the Asiatic and African peo-
Dles originated independently of the
%turopean, has, according to the
March Popular Mechanics Magazine.
been suggested by two Swiss serolo-
glsts, who made extensive blood tests
OF the many nationalities brought to-
gether in Mesopotamia during the
world war. Examining and classify
ing the blood elements of the native
population, of Jewish refugees, and
OF soldiers assembled from every
corner of the earth, they were sur
prised to find the nationalities di-
vlding, Of themselves, into three dis
tlnct classes. A first group included
the soldiers from England, France.
Italy, Greece, bulgaria, and Serbia.
An intermediate group contained
Arabs, Turks, Russians, and Jews.
In the third group were Negroes,
East Indians, and natives of Indo-
China and Madagascar. Reason for
their suggesting the dual origian of
mar is obvious; the intermediate
group represents, of course, a fusion
OF the two archetypes.

What Belgium Has Done.
By H. H. Windsor, in the March Pop.
ular Mechanics Magazine

The progress toward the r~estora-
ton of pre-war conditions which Bel
GUM has already accomplished is lit
tie less than marvellous. $n less than
a year, her coal production-the ba-
sis of modern industry-reached 90
per cent; sugar %refineries, 100 per
cent; cotton looms, GO per cent; wool
products, rs per cent, and shoes, 20
per cent. Even steel production
which suffered most, reached 80 per
cent.
When Germany seized and carried
away the machinery of Belgian fac
tories, the confident expectation was
to so crush out industrial production
as to leave the Belgians reduced to
agriculture. But the tide which ebb-
ed so fiercely has been flowing back,
until of 9,797 machines of which a
record was kept, there had, by the
end of 1919, been returned 5000 ma
chimes, and the remained was still
coming back at the rate of 30 car
loads a day. During the war, 1856
miles of railroad track and -,419
bridges were destroyed, and already
these have been reconstructed.
We are accustomed to think Of
China and Japan as densely settled
countries, but in 1913 Belgium was
the most densely populated and in
tensively cultivated country IN the
world. Its 1873 square miles make
it about the size of Maryland, with
one man in every six a land owner.
To such perfection had agriculture
been developed that three-ffths of
the total area was under cultivation,
producing an average of 800 per
record equaled by no other
country. A 60-mile pipe line for
pumping beet juice from IA gathering
stations to the sugar r%efineries, Illus
trates the advanced development OF
its agricultural industries. In devas-
tated farm lands Belgium was fortu-
nate in losing only 10000 acres,-
less than one per cent of its total
ire
Freedom from general strikes and
a national determination to restore
normal exports, on which the country
so largely depends, are Fastening a
return to prosperity; and wages have
been materially increased, but are
still low compared with other coun-

maintained up to the time of the
armistice. Instead of the spirit OF
extravaganza which prevails in some
other countries, the BelgianS pre-

for so many years made it famous as
affording the best living for the least
of any country maintaining
modern conditions. Another year or
two will almost restore pre-war pro-
-duction in most lines.
