Opportunity on rne Fam.

There was time when the idea was altogether too common, that the occupation of farming was sort of junk pile where fate threw human discards who lacked ambition, inteln- gence, or perseverance enough to sue ceed in any other calling in life. Then along fin the late etnineties there was "back to the land movement" and "mossback" and ''hayseed" were rele- gated to the columns of obsolete slang. The farmer sees life and growth on every hand. Even in winter, in the localities where the landscape seems symbol of death with snow and ice holding everything in its grasp, there is the hope of renewed life, or resur- rection of seed grain, typified by the next springs planting. Truly. on the farm there are special opportunities for observation and thought. and hap py is the farmer whose thoughts go deeper than the bottom of his milk pail and whose pasture fences are not the boundaries of his horizon.

QUEER JUMBLING OF RACES
Caucasus Religion Has Been Appro- priateiy Designated as the "Moun.
 tain of LanQuaQes."

With various anti-bolshevist govern ments seeking resting place and cap ital at one end of the range and fabu- lOus oil hoards of Baku at the other, inspiring covetous imperialistic inter- est, the long line of mountains which separates Europe from Asia gives promise of once more attaining the headline position 1t so often has held throughout the ages. Made up of 400 miles of majestic peaks, in three ridges, the Caucasus stretches from northwest to southeast like a petrined wave, whose northeastern face mounts to the snow crest, but whose south western front, facing toward Turkey, seems dashed into countless precipices by the titanic forces of nature, says a bulletin from the National Geographic society.
 The Caucasus is the most interest ing rabbit warren of humanity on the globe. For uncounted ages various peoples sifted through the selected val leys, leaving a fraction of their num- Der in some remote spot, so that at one time Ell Azlzi said that there were 800 tribes and dialects in the region, $50 miles long and 100 miles broad, which he called the Mountain of Lan- guages"

Manufacture of Lead Peneals.

The only kind of wood found suit able for making pencils Is cedar. most of which comes from Florida. After being cut in the forests the logs are rafted down the rivers to the mills, where they are cut into pieces called ''bolts." and then into smaller strips a trifie longer than pencil lengths and half the thickness of a pencil. These strips are packed in boxes and shipped to the pencil factories, where they are carefully inspected and all imperfect pieces discarded. After the removal of the pitch and oil, the siats are put through process of season ing. Then they are put through . machine that cuts the grooyw in which the lead Is placed. The lead is put in the grooves by hand and the slats are glued together Another machine cuts the slats into many pieces, each piece being pencil. They are then sandpapered, vanished and stamped.

 The Old Testament story of Moses sojourn in the wilderness includes the providential provision of daily mama. Modern history records other wonder full things that have fallen from the heavens. A mass of burning sulphur the size of mans fist fell at Pultusk, Poland, January 30. 1868, and was stamped out by crowd of villagers A shower of limestone pebbles came down at Pelet-Der, France, June 6, 1890, falling like hall. A large, gritty, smooth, water-worn sandstone cobble, reported to have fallen at Little Lever, England, was found in the heart of a beech tree. It looked as if it had fallen red-hot and had penetrated the tree at high velocity. Another large stone was found in 1855 in the interior of tree in Battersea fields, according to the Philosophical Maga- zine. At the foot of the tree frag- ments were found as if broken off the embedded stone.

testify to its remarkable merits.
Mrs. Rosa Abersfeller, residing at
BOIL South Ninth street. in relating her
experience with Tanlac, said:
'It is certainly wonderful how
quickly the right medicine will get a
person to feeling right again. There
no doubt about Tanlac being the
right thing for me, for I am now feel
ing just fine, but before took it l was
so weak and felt so bad I had to re-
main in bed a great deal OF the time
and hire some one to do my house
work and look after my children. L
was in such f,adly rundown condi-
ton on account of indigestion that |
was barely able to, get about. l could
not eat anything but what caused
severe pains in my stomach and chest,
and at times I felt so stuffed up that l
could scarcely breathe. My head
ached every day and sometimes so bad
l was almost frantic. I often had dizzy
spells when I had to catch hold of
something to keep from falling; never
knew what a good nights sleep was,
and that tired. WORKOUT feeling was
with me all the time. I felt achy all
over and was so weak the least eXer-
ton would completely exhaust me.
But I had not finished taking my
first bottle of Tanlac until there was a
wonderful improvement in my feel
ings. My appetite returned and I was
soon able to eat just anything and all
wanted without feeling touch of indi-
gestion. Then my strength gradually
came back and it wasn't long until I
was able to dc all my house work. I
never have a headache. dizzy spell or
a pain of any kind now, and sleep
seundly all night long. I have also
gained great deal in weight. for my
cheeks. which were all sunken in, are
now well rounded out and 1 am like
an entirely different person. All the
thanks, praise and gratitude for the
splendid health 1 now enjoy belongs to
Tanlac. 1t is perfectly grand medi-
cine, and deserves all the praise that's
being given it,
