V1VE YEARS ago this month the Hooven
Automatic Typewriter began new era
- In the production of quantity CORE
spondenee.
The year 1915 marked the perfection of ma
chine which produces in quantity actual type
written letters. each one an original-each one
written especially for the person who receives
it. A machine which cuts out 80%o of your
postage waste and strikes four names from
your payroll for every machine used And vet
astonishing as It may seem Hooven letters cost
tar less than the process or form variety.
One concern we know sent out $4,000 process"
letters at cost to them of $2,201 and received
Just 1897 replies In other words, each letter
that was read cost $l.57. And they thought
they were saving money, because they figured
only the first cost.
There wasn't anything wrong with the letter.
either, except-it wasn't read. Ninety-seven
per cent OF those fifty thousand letters went to
waste because the recipients knew them for
just what they were-imitations.
Back IN 1915 the first Hooven Automatic Tvpe.
writer was sold. and the first lob on Letter
Service was produced.

VIM. Salonon and Co., Bankers, were the pur-
chasers of the first machine, and the first letters
were typed for the Merchants Association of
New York. Is it not significant that these two
first purchasers have ever since used Hooven
letters? And that among the hundreds of
others to whom this almost human machine
has convincingly demonstrated it's worth are
found such names as-The New York Lubri-
eating Oil Co., The Pacific Bank, The Kelly
Springfield Tire Co., Pace and Pace, The Silent
Partner, The National Employment Exchange,
and hundreds of others.
Are these not splendid indications of what
Hooven can do for you?
The work of Hooven can we'll be termed
modern miracle, when you consider that, re-
gardless of the number of letters it produces.
each and every one of them is read and accepted
by the recipient as personal and individual
communication, and has just as much selling
torce and receives just as much consideration
as though you had dictated it yourself. And
therein lies the reason upon which Mr.. Hooven
oases his prophecy that by 1925 form and

We started at 1 o'clock in the morning and before dark our cousins met us at Caiicoen, New York state, and led us to their house in Sheilsboro, Pa. We saw what they call sugar bush, where they make maple syrup in the spring, and we brought several cans home with us. We also brought some nice honey. There are lots and lots of mountains out there. We went over the top of the Moesic [ mountain and crossed the Hudson river twice. We saw lots of coal and coal l mines, and great many grand sights.

UNCLE JED's TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKES.

We think we do not like to work-that work is something to be gotten through with 90 that we can run off to play. It doesn't seem as if we would ever tire of just playing. However, without work we nrobably would not really enjoy play.
 But whether we believe that or not, ve are beginning to understand that work has value which has until lately been underestimated-if not entirely overlook ed-a healing value for folks who are sick. particularly those who are sick in their minds.
 Hospitals are seeing the value of work for their patients nowadays, and some are trying to provide occupations that |. will help them to forget themselves in . the joy of making something. Work is proving itself to be a great medicine, and 1t has an advantage, too, that few medi- eines have-it is good not only foT sick but for well people, and it is right at eyerybodys hand.
 Regardless of how much you like te play, it is not believed that there is a Wide Awake who does not also like tC work. lt is natural for a Wide-Awake 10 want to be doing something-the very name indicates it-and play doesn't by any means entirely satisfy that ambition Those who are bound up in their worl are invariably the most contented and thu most successful

The Fox.

There was once upon a time a greedy fox, who. in the course of his travels,
 came to beautiful garden where he be-
 held all kinds of trees laden with juicy
 fruits The fox rubbed his stomach
 at the sight of it. But very high. wall
 surrounded the garden.
 The fox walked around and around
 in search of an entrance but found only
 too small for his big body How shall
 get in," he growled. He scratched his head and then exclaimed, q have it. I will fast until my body can squeeze in" So he lasted three days and crawl ed into the garden. He leaped for joy and ate until it seemed he would burst Suddenly he grew pale with fear as he thought of the keeper of the garden Suppose he should see me? I am in a | fine fix" said the fox. There is only one way out for me to escape, and that is l to fast until I become thin once more. ' 1 The fox lasted for three, days and after much pain made his escape. When he was outof danger he looked back al l tho garden and said, Garden, garden you are indeed charming and tempting | But of what benefit are you to me. What l have I now for. all my suffering and 1 cunning? I am just as lean now as 1 was when I entered your walls" | It is even so with man We come in
 to the world with nothing and We leav, | it with nothing. Why do wrong ant exercise cunning to acnuire that whicl 1 we cannot take With uA?

A Strange Hog.

During the Revolutionary war, a guard was sent out on duty. He was to guard for three hours and another would take his place. When the three hours were up. the other guard went to his duty and found the first guard dead.
 The guard ran and called the colonel and the colonel told the guard to shoot whenever he heard a noise. The guard said that he would shoot no matter what he was shooting at. So the guard went about his duty
 It was about the second hour and the guard thought he heard a noise and looking around he saw a pig. He thought it would be foolish and he would be laughed at if he shot a pig. So he did not shoot the pig.
 A little while afterwards he thought he heard another noise like that of a man. Looking around he saw the pig raise a knife and was about to strike when he shot and killed him. He call. l ed the general and the general said it was 1 not a hog but disguise of q hog The general said later that it was an In | dian and the guard got medal for kill 1 ing the Indian.

wIpE-AwAKE POETRY.

A Bey's Protest. When a fellow knows every birds nest In the fields for miles around, Where squirrels play in the sunshine, Where the prettiest flowers are rouna 1; When he knows of a pair of robins That will fly to his hand for crumbs, He hates to be penned in school room, And he's glad when Saturday comes. There's a bee tree on the hillside, But I'll not tell anyone where; There's a school of trout in the mill
 stream,
 And l want to go fishing there. I know where an orioles building, And a log where a partridge drums, And I'm going to the woods to see them As soon as Saturday comes They shouldn't keep school in the spring
 time,
 When the world is so fresh and bright When you want to be fishing and climb
 ing,
 And playing from morning till night It's a shame to be kept in school-room Writing and working out sums All week it's like being in prison, And I'm glad when Saturday comes.
