DO You ever wonder why you didn' {
land thnt job with Spifkins & Co., Inc,
when YOU thought you'd make such n
hit?
Are Won puzzled because Mary Imo-
gene docSn t seem to fall for your par
ticuar brand of charm?
Can YOU figure out why the boss fired
YOU and kept that bird who didn't work
near as hard as you did?
No?
Then you haven't been tried out on
the scale for measuring social char
actcristCS devised by DR.. s. d. Porteus,
head of the research department at the
Nineland (N. j. Training School.
DR.. Porteus. who formerly was pro-
fessor of psychology at Melbourne Uni
verFity. Australia. has 40 standardized
this system that it shows in Just what
proportion each defect in personality
keeps person from success.
Through system of elimination he
has found that seven traits form the
most common defects in personality or
ability to put things over in the
world. And those seven traits are:
First. Lack OF planning capacity,
or being dependent on others for i'm
pulse and direction: the most serious
draw back in personality. In system
of dcmcrit marks it would count six.
Are You Reed In the Wind?
Second. To be too easily in
fuCnccd BY other peoples suggestions
the reed shaken in the wind va
rirty of character-stands second in
serious defects; three demerits.
Third Th" man who likes to show
Oft, who INDUCES in foolish laughter
and is too talkative; two bad marks.
Fourth. The nn who finds it
hard to make decisions in emcrgen-
Cics who lacks self confidence and
Is always irrcsOlute; two demerits.
Fifth. Being impulsivc and tend
ing to act without due consideration;
two bad marks.
Sixth. Over -cmOtiOnallty ranks
equally with impulsivcness.
Seventh. MoodinesS, pprSiStng in
any one mood such as obStinacy or
clatiOn; one dcmert.
Thus is can be- seen that to lack abil-
ity to plan or executive ability Is SIX
times AZ delcteriouS to success rs is too
much obstinacy and so on down the
line very interesting ratio OF the pro-
pOrtionatc size Of obstacles to success
can be worked out.

These social rating tests, by the way,

no reason why they would not hold good
with any class of individuals.

Martin S Team
Gets First Blood

The first game of the Grundy
County Series was played on the
local diamond here last Sunday
afternoon between Bob Martin, S
Team and Jno. Gonld's team.
The umpire, Representative
K. q. Norvell introdu led the
Managers as Mr.. Martin Of the
New York Giants and Mr.. Gould
Of the Boston Red Sox, he also
called the batterris, which were
as follows :--Gipsion and Scruggs
for Martin team, and McCreary
and Werner for Goulds team.
1t seems like right from the
first that Martins team had the
goods as it was the good fielding
that done the work as Gould's
team, would land OH the ball
and send it out in the diamond
only to be caught by one of the
fielders.
The first 4 innings stood moth
ing and nothing but in the last
Of the 5th the ball was fumbled
and Martins team run in 2
scores, and from then on A more
scores were run in by Martins
team.
The Gould team made one
score in the 9th inning Crick
knocking q home run. A large
crowd was present to see the
game coming from all parts Of
the County. The next game Of

BEEF CATTLE Benefit FARM
Possible for Farmer to Make Creator
Use Of Dry Roushaoes-Need
Little Attention.

The use Of beef cattle in connection
with general farming throughout the
corn belt, says the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture, offers the fol-
lowing advantages:
It Is possible to make greater use of
dry roughages produced on the farm,
as beef cattle consume larger quanti-
ties tf these feeds than any other class
Of live stock.
Beef cattle can be used profitably
on rough land unsuitable for crop
production; also on low, wet land un-
suitable for either crops or for other
classes Of stock.
Beef cattle use the total production
Of grain and roughages on the average
farm, without the purchase Of other
feeds, more efficiently than any other
class Of live stock.
Beef cattle on the farm favor we'll
balanced distribution Of labor through
out the year. They require very little
attention during the summer and fall,
when crops need attention, and dur
ing winter and early spring, when there
Is little field work to be done, farmers
can utilize their time to advantage
by caring for the breeding herd, winter
ing the stockers and feeders, or fatten-
ing some steers.

Farmer Brown was driving the doc
tor back to town, after he had set
neighbor William Johnson's fractured
leg and dressed three caved-in ribs.
Johnson seemed to be in bad luck con-
stantiy, and the neighbors were cir
culating a subscription paper for him
and arranging "bee" to do up his
unfinished work.
Earlier in the season a hold-back
broke on q hill. The horse ran away,
throwing johnson to the ground and
confining him to bed several days In
busy period.
A little later one Of his little boys
stepped on garden rake which had
been left back down on the ground,
and ran tine through his foot. The
child was taken to the doctor to have
the wound dressed, but not until infec-
tion had set in, and he would always
be trifle lame.
Delays Farm Work.
A hired man stepped through loose
board of a barn loft, and farm and
household work was delayed while he
recovered.
This latest misfortune was the worst
Of the season. johnson had been
shingling the barn, using common
prop scaftolding, made by placing
wooden brackets against the side Of
the building and supporting them with
twO-by-four scantling, set at an angle
Of As degrees and anchored at the foot
with stakes and stones. He had un-
dertaken to carry a bunch Of shingles
to the roof. An uppererung, previous
ly broken from the ladder, had been
replaced with two-inch shingle band,
nailed on with eight-penny nails. The
wood in the side Of the ladder was
dozy and the nails gave way under
Johnson's weight. The Jolt as he
struck the next rung upset the ladder,
and down tumbled johnson, ladder,
scaffolding and shingles, all in heap
on, the ground.
"Pretty tough on Johnson" observed
Brown. ''They talk about farming be-
ing safe and healthful pursuit; but
I'll bet he didn't think so when that
bnnch of shingles pursued him and
smashed his ribs"
"Farming is healthful," said the old
doctor. providing people would take
reasonable care of themselves. It ought
to be safe as any ordinary occupation;

TRAP NESTS HELP BREEDERS
Some Facts Have Recently Been
Learned as Result Of Devics In
Improving Flock.

Trap nesting hens to find the most
profitable layers does not appeal to the
average. farmer and backyard poultry
man as being practical, Besides the
original cost Of making the nests, there
is the extra labor required in looking
after the layers, However, some facts
that were learned as result Of using
the trap nest may be applied In the
improvement Of the flock, say poultry
men Of the United States Department
Of Agriculture. For instance, the
trap nest has shown that the late
moulter Is the most profitable bird in
the flock. Now, without the use Of
the trap nest, a man may select the
late modlters and be sure that he is
picking the cream Of the flock. And It
seems reasonable to believe that this
characteristic breeds on from genera
tion to generation.

Plans were discussed for transfer
ring the pirates from the cave to the
cutter, for they were to be taken to
Santa Marina to meet whatever pun
tahanent was thought fit for their rath-
er indefinite ill-doing. They had not
murdered us, they had robbed us of
nothing but the provisions they had
eaten; they had, after all, as much
right on the island as ourselves. Yet
there remained their high-handed con-
duct In invading our camp and treat
Ing us as prisoners, with the threat
of darker possibilities. I fancy that
Santa Marinan justice works mainly
by rule Of thumb, and that the courts
do not embarrass themselves much
with precedents. Only hope they did
not shoot the picturesque Tony against
a wall.s
The power-schooner, manned by
crew from the cutter, was to be taken
to Santa Marina also. Senor Gonzales
remained with us for the day as our
guest, and on the next the boats from
the cutter took off the pirates from the
cave. We did not see them again:
