There is no such thing as pretty
near right when it comes to value.
Get the habit OF thinking of things
as either right or wrong, no COM
promise in your mind, and you will
progress faster.
The pretty-near-right man is easy
with himself.
He is satisfied if he comes within
a second of it whether it be in time
or quality OF work.
But the thing which is right, "all
but" may fall short in sAl essential
particular and may become valueless
on that account.
Also, if you are willing to take
second place you will always have to
play second to some one person or
accomplishment. y
Think in teams OF first place or
nottingham high.
To be sure, you must be second in
order to get to the top, but if you
think second place pretty good you
never will have the right sort of
feeling to be top-notcher.

WHY
Is a Traitor Called a Turncoat? 4

= u
History, which has played lead
ing role in the formation of many
words which are familiar to us to-
day, is directly responsible for the
term "turncoat" as applied to a
traitor or anyone who deserts one
cause, i'll order to joint the opposite
partx
This peculiarly appropriate desig-
nation owes its origin to Emmanuel,
one of the first dukes n Savoy,
whose dominions lay between the
contesting houses of Spain and
France, and who was, on this ac-
count, forced to temporize and fall
in with the schemes of whichever
party appeared to be in the ascend
ency. Being SO frequently obliged to
shift his allegiance, the duke had a
coat made which was blue on one
side and white on the other and
might be worn with either side out.
When, in the interests of diplomacy,
he thought it best to side with the
Spaniards, Emmanuel would wear
the blue side outermost, while, If he
was working with the French, his
coat would appear to be white. 1t
was for this reason that he gained
the surname of the "turncoat." Ill
ofder to distinguish him from other
dukes OF Savoy also named En-
manuel-and the term has come
down, unaltered, to this day. b."

That the use Of good purebred sires

FARMER AND GOOD HIGHWAYS
Improved Roads Make Farm Only a
Suburb and Land Has Increased
Greatly in Value.

The biggest booster for good roads
in the country today is the farmer.
A few years ago he felt that the p0r
ton Of his taxes used in the construc-
ton of permanent highways repre-
scented a benefit only to the motoring
tourist and the city automobile owner.
The farmer argued that he was pay
ing for their pleasures, and the result
was superstition against the good
roads movement, which, unfortunately,
has not as yet been entirely overcome
in some sections of the country.
Now, however, when the farmer
finds that his land has trebled in val
ue; when the merchandise for which
he has telephoned in the morning can
be delivered by noon Of the same day;
when the market for his own produce
is brought hours nearer when the
winter and its following spring thaw
possess no terrors for him-al this
because of the improved highway
which makes his farm only suburb,
as it were, of the nearest city-he
naturally becomes Woodworking
and hard-voting enthusiast for good
rOads.-Leslie's.
