HENRY FORD
CONDUCTS MODEL FARM
Demonstrates Practical Power Farm
ing To Farmers.

Henry Ford has set up model
farm for the inspection of visitors
at the Michigan State Fair. He Is
endeavoring to show how practically
all of the work of a farm can be done
by machinery. His Fordson tractors
supply the power.
The farm" was set up on section
of land where variety OF crops,
grown during the summer were ready
for harvesting. Model farm build
ings, all lighted and heated by cleo
tricity developed by Fordson power,
were erected as part of the COM
plete farm equipment.
Fordson tractors show farmers
visiting the fair how ground can be
prepared for planting with the least
amount of human effort time and
money. Planting equipment was
shown in actual operation. A field
of wheat was harvested and threshed.
the grain hauled to small mill on
the farm and turned into -four which
in turn was made into bread in
model bakery. Slices of fresh warm
bread were passed out to visitors.
In the meantime on another section
of the farm" tractors were busy
cultivating corn and others cutting
and gathering the crop.
1T was Mr.. Ford's idea to carry
to the farmer the fact that a tractor
is a model power unit which can be
moved about where it is needed.
said Mr.. Armantrout. in explaining
the experiment: "By using his ingenu-
ity, the farmer can find scores OF
other ways OF using the power which
he has at hand in his tractor"
More than a dozen Fordson trac-
tors were used in the exhibit. the
ease with which tractor can be
adapted to nearly any purpose on the
farm is one of the big points brought
out.

No increase was allowed on commu-
tation books between Seattle, Bremen
tn and Port Orchard bay points. The

mental tariff for 80 days and expires
October 81, at which time the com.
pany will be required to show the

ness for a period OF 90 days. The or

GRANT REFUSED TO ANSWER.

During President Grants admins
tration a movement was started to
call Grant to account for having been
absent from Washington. The House
asked him by resolution to inform it
what official acts he had performed
while away, says an exchange. The
hero of AppomattoX replied:
Il freely inform the House that
from the time of my entrance upon
my office, have been in the habit, as
were all of my predecessors, of alb
senting myself at times from the seat
of government, and that during such
absences l did not neglect or forego
the obligations or duties of my office,
but continued to discharge all of the
executive offices, acts and duties
which were required of me as presi
dent of the United States. | am not
aware that a failure occurred in any
one instance of my exercising the
functions and powers of my office in
every case requiring their discharge
or Of my exercising all necessary eX
Ccutive acts in whatever part of the
United States | may at the time have

"A REAL GENTLEMAN"

The following sketch, called ''The
Portrait of a True Gentleman" was
found in an old manor house in Glou
cestershire, written and framed and
hung over the mantlepiece of tap
estried sitting room: "The true gen.
tleman is Gods servant, the world
master and his own; virtue is his
business, study his recreation, con-
tentment his rest and happiness his
reward. The saints are his brethren,
and all that need him his friends; de

chamberlain, sobriety his butler, tenn

housekeeper, providence his steward
charity his treasurer, piety his mis-
tress of the house, and discretion his
porter to let in or out, as most fit
Thus is his whole family made up Of
virtues and he is the true master OF
the house. He is necessitated to take
the world on his way to Heaven; bu
he walks through it as fast as he can

SHOOTING INTO SPACE.

The question of whether it would
ever be possible to shoot projectlle
into space, that is to say entirely Off
the earth, has long been the subject
of discussion. In a detailed scientific
paper on the German long-ranged gun
which bombarded Paris last spring,
Major J. Naturalization, writing in
the Journal of the Royal Artillery,
says the requisite velocity of such a
gun is not so very much higher than
what has already been achieved; viz,
a muzzle velocity of a mile per second.
When we are able to increase this to
five miles per second, the projectile,
if fired at suitable angle, will travel
around the earth as a grazing satel-
lite, completing it's orbit between IL
and IS times daily. With a velocity
of about seven miles a second, it will
move off into space, never to return.

UMBRELLA HANDLE PLANTATION

Did you ever examine the wooden
handle of your umbrella and wonder
where the makers found such a curl
ously gnarled piece of wood? If you
do give it a passing thought, you sim
ply think that the kinks and twists
are freaks of nature and dismiss it as
SUCH But Popular Science Monthly
tells us that these knots and twists
are the result of careful training.
Somewhere in France" there is, or
perhaps was, plantation of several
hundred acres devoted entirely to the
culture of umbrella handles. The
trees are cut a little above the ground
level and a number of Saplings sprOut
from the roots Then the buds Of these
sprouts are nipped Off By cutting the
bark and training the shoots, almost
every variety of design may be pro
duced. 1t takes two and three years
to harvest a crop of umbrella handles

DEFINITIONS OF "HOME."

The golden setting in which the
brightest jewel is mother =
A world of strife shut out, world
Of love shut in.
An arbor which shades when the
sunshine of prosperity becomes too
dazzling; a harbor where the human
back finds shelter in the time of
storm.
Home is the blossom of which
Heaven is the fruit.
Home is a persons estate obtained
without injustice, kept without dis
quietude; place where time is spent
without repentance and which is ruled
by justice, mercy and love.
A hive in which, like the industrious
bee, youth gamers the sweets and
memories of life for age to mediate
and feed upon.
The best place for married man
after business hours.
Home is the contest, kindliest
sweetest place in all the world the
scene of our purest earthly joys and
our deepest sorrows.
The place where the great are some
times small and the small often great
The fathers kingdom, the children S
paradise, the mothers world.
The jewel casket containing the
most precious of all jewels-domestic
happiness.

WHY IRELAND LIES WEST OF
ENGLAND.

Ages ago, almost in the beginning of
the world, there was beautiful large
island which belonged to France, and
lay quite close to Normandy.
1t was so beautiful and so fertile
that the Scandinavian sea-rovers
coveted it's green hills and woodland
Wales, and made sudden descent
upon it and conquered it.
Highly pleased they were with their
new possession, and often they con-
graduated themselves on their vic
tory.
ct is a rich prize" said the viking
chief, "but l wish we had it in our
own country. How fine if it lay as
close to our Danish coast as it does
to that of France!"
''Why not move it, said another
viking. after all our success it would
be strange thing if we could not ac.
complish one more undertaking."
The idea of carrying off their beau
tiful island and mooring it close to
their own country was so attractive to
the sea rovers that they decided to set
about it without delay.
A great cable of four strands was
made, one strand was of heather, an
other of hemp, third of wool, and
the fourth of woman's hair.
When the cable was ready an i'm
mense fleet of thousands of ships
sailed from the coast Of Scandinavia.
All the sailors we're as strong as
giants aud almost as large.

BOYS THAT SUCCEED.

"A new boy came into our office
today said wholesale grocery mer.
chant to his wife at the supper table
He was hired by the firm at the re-
quest of the senior member, who
thought the boy gave promise of good
things. But 1 feel sure that the boy
will be out of the office in less than
a week."
What makes you think so?" in
quired his WIFE
Because the very first thing that
he wanted to know was just exactly
how much he was expected to do"
Perhaps you will yet change your
mind about him.
perhaps I shall,' replied the mer
chant, "but I do not think So"
Three days later the business man
said to his wife: About that boy
you remember 1 mentioned two OF
three days ago. Well, he is the best
boy who ever entered the store.'
How did you find that out?''
I'm the easiest way in the world
Inc flrst morning after the boy be
gan to work he performed very faith
fully and systematically the exac
duties assigned to him, which he haC
been so careful to have explained tt
him. When he had finished he came
to me and said: "Mr. -, I have
finished all the work. Now what cal
1 do?"
Il was little surprised, but I gave
him a little job of work and forgo
all about him until he came into my
room with the question: What next ?
That settled it for me. He was the
first boy that ever entered our Office
who was willing and volunteered to dc
more than was assigned to him.
predict a successful career for tina
boy as a business man."

FIRST COMMUNION DAY.

The Little Infant Jesus
Came down to earth one day.
To find a sweet and pretty place
A little while to stay.
And so, He saw your heart, my child,
And found a garden there,
Where rosebuds near a lily grew,
And daisies white and fair.
It was so pure and spotless, dear,
The Babe was pleased to stay,
He loves you much, but most Of all,
On First Communion Day.
Jesus will come agan, my child,
So keep the flowers bright,
To be with children, good and true
Is His one great delight.
He will tell His Holy Mother
Of the little girl He met,
And she will be your Mother, too,
She'll not this day forget.
Your gentle guardian angel
Who has watched each step yor
trOd,
Is very happy on this day,
Dear little child of God!
