Frank H. Spearman.-A strong ad- |
vertisement is not only a signal TO
the eye, but it swings the semiphore
which halts the train of public atten-
ton, and any farmer may be wise
who studies the subject.
]. Ogden Armour-If I don't trust a
man l don't give him responsibility.
If l do trust him l let him alone. /
want my men to think for themselves.
want them to come with decision,
not for a decision. expect them to
handle their jobs as they see fit, know
ing that they will have to answer to
me only for results.
c. ]. Purcell.-It is better to instruct
your family and make them happy at
home than it is to charm strangers or
amuse friends. A silent house is dull
place for young people, a place from
which they will escape if they can.
Send your children out into the world
in the full belief that there is no place
like home-aye. be it ever so homely.
]. B. Davidson.-If farm people are
to stay on the farms and be contended
and if the hired help problem is to be
improved. better homes must be built
In manufacturing districts it is rule
to have $4,000 invested in homes for
the workers for every $1,000 invested
I'm factory equipment Last year was
prosperous one for the farmers and
money left over from the years oper-
ations would be better spent in build
| ing good farm houses than in buying
more land.
DIR. E. l. Eaton.1I paid $3.50 for
/ one of Sir Oliver Lodges books on
spiritualism. It's really worth about
| 20 cents The principles he offers
are all very old and simply placed in
a new and more recent form. People
have been studying and experiencing
these phenomena for the last sixty
five years and there is nothing re-
cent in any of them. Every human
is possessed OF certain amount of psv-
chic force, but some are endowed
with a greater amount than others,
and this is the explanation for clair
voyants and seers who possess seem
ingly unearthly powers.
Frank w Clancy.-The great mass
es of the American people are at
tracted to the principles of our con-
stitution, proud of our national SOW

and preserve the same. Why then
should there be such variations OF
belief among people who in large
way are as one in sentiment and in
devotion of a great ideal? Many in
tellectual persons find it difficult to
answer this question, and who are in
clined to regard our political contests
as inspired by nothing better than
the movies of pesronal greed in the
way of struggles for office of for
some pecuniary advantage arising
from the usiness policy of one or the
other party.
H w. Coe.-Are you a whatter?
Have you children who are what,
erse If YOU are grown. and what
ter. It is probably too late; you are
lost in mediocrity, but If YOU have
children who are whatters begin now
to try and lift them from the mire
in which whatters sink to nothing
ness. whatter is one who. asks you
to explain what you have just said,
not because he has failed to under
stand you. but because his mind
moves more slowly. and It has never
been poked at or logged up. but has
been allowed to crawl along for the
express purpose of irritating people to
death A whatter may be faithful
and II hard worker. but he never lands
big jobs. Big salaries and place in
the sun are never his. There may
be a class OF people more thoroughly
loathed and despised In the busy
world than whatters, but 1t has not
yet been named.
