Why II Pays to Dress Well.


A good appearance Is capital, and
our clothes are an important part of IT.
1t pays to dress well, to wear attrac-
tive clothing of good material, TO buy
cheap material Of any kind is a poor
sort of economy. 1t gives you poor
service, and 1t doesn't look well. Il
will not do you credit and is not a
good advertisement of yourself and
what you are trying to do.
First impressions are immensely
valuable. If your dress and bearing
are good, this fact will make people
think well of you. respect you. It will
give the impression that you can
finance yourself; that you are doing
well, and this adds to others conf
dence in your business ability.
Not only wear as good clothing as
you can afford, but see that it is well
kept and well carried. Hold up your
head, throw your shoulders back, look
the world in the face; go about among
your fellows as a winner. Show that
you have the courage of your convic-
tions, that you have confidence and
assurance. This will invite prosper
ity and success.--New Success.

New Method Of Identification,

Not only are the finger prints of ev.
cry human being different but the po-
sition Of the bones of the fingers, and
also the shape of the nails are differ
ent Doctor Beclere. a well-known stu
dent Of photography. utilizes this fact
In new method for identifying crimi-
nails. The method consists In making
an X-ray photograph of the hand,
showing the bones and the fingernails.
Ordinarily such a photograph would
not show the flesh. but in order that
the record may be complete the fingers
are soaked in an Opaque salt. by
means Of which all the lines and marks
are clearly shown. Doctor Beclere
considers that the possibility afforded
by his discovery Of keeping a record
Of nails as well as of finger prints
should prove of the greatest use in
identifying criminals.

RACE SOON TO BE EXTINCT
Pills In Wake Of Civilization Have
Spelt Doom to the PoIynesians
Of South Seas.

That modern civilization is bringing
death and determination to the splen-
did race known as the Polynesian, Is
the claim of all travellers who have
spent time on the beautiful southern
Pacific islands. Charles Bernard
Nordhoff. In the Atlantic Monthly, In
s0rrowing over this says:
ITO say that Christianity was their
undoing would be absurd; they died
and are dying under the encroach-
ments Of the European civilization Of
which Christianity was the forerun-
ner. Everywhere In the South seas
the story has been the same. whether
told by Stevenson, or Melville. or
Louis Becke. We brought them dis
ease; we brought them cotton cloth
ing (almost as great q curse) we sup
pressed the sports and merriment and
petty wars which enabled the old
islanders to maintain their interest In
life. And lastly, we brought them an
alien code Of morals, which succeeded
chiefly in making hypocrites of the
men whose souls 1t was designed to
save. Today there is nothing to be
said, nothing to be done-the Polyne-
sian race will soon be only q mem
ory."

TW0.SW0RD MEN OF JAPAN
With Their Dlsbanding, Comparatively
Few Years Ago, the Secret OF
BIademaking Disappeared.

AS late as 1868 there were some
100000 twO-sword men in Japan. high
ly trained fighters attached to the
mobiles Of the land in bands ranging
from two or three, to an entire army.
When the revolution came the work
Of the twO-sword men was done, the
nation was made into q solid unit and
the strength Of the blade carriers was
needed at pillow and bench.
With this disbanding, an exchange
explains, the trade of the swordmaker
was also lost to the vast number fol-
lowing 1t. and with them. as the years
passed, died the secrets of the war
riOr tools. Swords can be obtained In
Japan today whose blades are so keen
they can cut through a veil or sofa
cushion, and also can be driven
through bar of iron, provided the
wielder has the strength. Others have
blades covered with a beautiful and
intricate tracery that disappears and
reappears at odd times, and no one
can solve the "why" of 1t. One mo-
ment the blade is as smooth and I'M
marked as mirror and the next the
design leaps out before the eye of the
startled beholder and can even be felt
by sensitive fingers. Yet other blades
are cOlored red, blue, silver or gold,
and while seemingly an alloy, chem
zeal analysis shows nothing but steel.
Yet others are coated with a poison
that is unseen, but beyond all other
pOisons deadly. In large part 1t con-
sists of decayed human blood.

Why We Raise Glasses.

was swung upward and held for q

manperism now so general that no

Of omitting it even in these days of

American sportsmanship demands

RESOLUTIONS OF AMERICAN
FARM BUREAU FEDERATION
Annual Meeting 1920

In order that county farm bureaus
agents and officers may know the po-
sition of their national organization
in regard to important questions of
the day affecting agriculture, the state
farm bureau is distributing the fol-
lowing review of the resolutions
passed at the recent annual meeting
at Indianapolis.
Finance Bureau of Research
That there should be no further
delay by the American Farm Bureau
Federation in the establishment and
adequate financing of bureau of re-
search with sub-departments for the
purpose of collecting and interpret
ing facts and figures dealing with
the production of farm crops and live
stock, and for the fullest inquiry into
conditions which influence the law of
supply and demand, to the end that
our members may have reliable infor-
nation and guidance in the produc-
ton and marketing of their commod-
tiles.
Personal Credits
The need of rural personal credits
is important. We recommend that
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, through its Legislative Bureau,
give due consideration to the subject.
Advise Farmers to Study Taxation
We recommend that the farm bu-
reaus Of each State and county give
attention to taxation questions and
suggest that committees be appoint
ed for that purpose and further urge
that the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton Legislative Department give
special attention to Federal taxation
in order that heavy burdens Of taxa
ton may not be unjustly apportion-
ed.
Endorse Committee of Seventeen
We endorse the work being done
by the Farmers Marketing Commit
tee of Seventeen and approve the
demand which they have made that
the grain exchanges be opened to CO.
operative commission companies, and
demand similar privilege for the
live stock cooperative commissions
companies from the live stock ex-
changes.
Federal Inspection and Control.
We request the prompt enactment
by Congress of such legislation as
may be necessary to bring under Fed
eral inspection, supervision and con-
troll all interstate agencies which
prepare for consumption meat and
grain products.
A Say in Sale of Stock Yards
We respectfully request of the De-
partment of Justice and the Federal
Trade Commission that no action be
taken on any plan for the disposal
of the Stock Yards until the Commit
tee of Fifteen has had an opportunity
to examine all such propositions.
For Secretary of Agriculture
We strongly commend the agricul-
tural policy of self sustaining ma
ton as advocated in the public utter
ances of our incoming President,
and respectfully request him to ap-
point as Secretary of Agriculture, a
man who is in full sympathy with this
policy and who has a thorough and
practical understanding of farming
in its different phases. ,.,.

HOLDS TREES AT HIGH VALUE
the Island Of Bukara, of
Coast of Africa.

Real conservation Is carried out on
the island Of Bukara, off the coast Of
Africa, according to DR.. III. Lyndhurst
Duke. in the Cornhill Magazine. 1t is
little island Of almost solid granite,
and with 10000 persons trying to get a
living from its scant soil. Trees are
looked upon as priceless possession.
and of them Doctor Drake says:
"The leaves are plucked with infinite
care and taken home In the evening
to feed the cattle and goats. The
sticks and branches go to help build
the huts, the bark being previously
carefully peeled Off and put aside to
dry to be used as fuel or cord. Dead
sticks are of course invaluable for
fuel. 49,. When occasion necessi-
tates the looping off Of large branch
or the telling Of the tree, shoots are
carefully stuck in the soil to repro
duce In due time, yet other trees. Dead.
leaves also belong to the owner Of the
tree, a man must not steal his neigh
bor's leaves nor his sticks nor his rub
bish on pain of being brought before
the chief and heavily fined. :. A
father will divide up a tree among his
children. apportioning so many branch
es to each with leaves and all the 9TH
er appurtenances dead and alive"

HOW.

OPTICAL ILLUSION THAT
WE CALL MIRAGE FORMS.
One of the most celebrated
mirages is that which is OBJ
served now and then from the
neighborhood of Glacier bay,
In Alaska. where In the dis
tance. above a vast sheet of
glacial ice, city is seen as II
suspended In the air. 1t has
buildings of beautiful and i'm
posing architecture, tall
churches with spires and but
tresses and many streets OF
houses, plain to the view.
This Is the sO-called Silent
City Of Alaska. The duke of the
Abruzzi saw 1t few years
ago when he visited Alaska.
Many attempts have been made
to photograph 1t, but for some
reason unexplained, without sue
cess. Some persons have gone
so far as to declare that 1t Is a
view Of the city of Bristol, in
England.
Irregularities Of ice formation,
plus Imagination, doubtless ac-
count for the strange vision -
an uplifting of the supposed
scene being attributable to
mirage. Optical illusions of this
kind are not uncommon In arc
tic and antarctic regions.
There is famous mirage,
called "Fata Morgana," which on
occasions is seen from the
neighborhood of Reggie, in Italy.
Here the effect produced is due
to a layer of heated air, which
by refraction of light brings in
to view a distorted picture of
the far-away Sicilian shore. To
the Italian peasant it appears
as a city with palaces, towers
and minarets-the mysterious
home of the fairy MOrgana.
William ScOresby, the arctic
explorer, describes a similar
mirage which he beheld from off
the coast of Greenland. He
writes: 1.-THE general appear
ance of the coast, as viewed
through a telescope, was that
Of an extensive ancient city,
abounding in ruins Of castles.
obelisks, churches and mOnu-
ments--a grand and interesting
phantasmagoria."
A feature Of arctic geography
which appears on all the maps
Is Crocker Land, which Peary
thought he saw from a mountain
peak In Grant Land.
The troops Of Napoleon when
he was in Egypt were rather
frightened by mirages. And
during the recent war the Brit
ish Of MesopOtamia were obliged
on at least one occasion to stop
fighting because Of the confu-
sion arising from an illusion
Of the kind.
AS everybody knows, mirages
are very common In hot desert
regions. A layer of warmed and
rarefied air serves as a mirage,
rejecting objects above 1t. Thus.
rejecting the sky, 1t may pro-
duce the effect of a sheet Of
water, the unsteadiness Of the
heated air lending ripples to
help out the picture and render
1t more deceptive.
