at least one confirmed knocker. One

The knocker seems to be afraid Of
dying from shame II he should ever
be caught saying something good about
a person. He knocks the folks he
works with. IL you mention good
thing about man, he Is always ready
with his "Yes, but" and then he
starts in with a long string Of defects
toAoffset the good qualities.
This animal has very keen eyes
when he Is looking for defects. but for
good qualities he Is stone blind. In
nine cases out Of ten he Is envious or
Jealous, and when one has feeling Of
inferiority, It is much easier TO "run
down" other people than to lift ones
self up.
Many men do Il who do not mean
TO do the harm they cause, but 1t is a
habit they easily get into, and 1t not
only does harm to other people, but 1t
robs man himself Of the pleasure he
might get out Of the good things In
other men.

SEES BILLBoARDs AS WASTE
Eastern Authority Gives Excellent
Reason Why unsiohtIy Structures
Should BE Done Away With.

Attacking the American billboard
from new angle, Mr.. Joseph Pennell
declares that "the lumber expended
in unnecessary and unsightly bill
boards in this country would rebuild
nearly everything destroyed abroad.
The paint wasted here would cover aii
the new buildings, and the labor would
be Of incalculable benefit In what we
hear is the great essential Of produc-
ing more" The argument should do
much to help the anti-billboard cam
pnign. for, although many will hesi-
tate to believe that Mr.. Pennell's arith-
metic Is altogether correct In so nice
a balance between billboards in Amer
lea and everything destroyed" in Du-
rope, there will be plenty to agree
that the unnecessary erection ofsAmer-
ican bIllboards consumes a vast deal
Of material that would be very help
ful in the erection OF buildings IN Eu-
rope. Meantime the billboards msftti-
ply. and by so doing add constantly TO

AMERICAN OF CLEAR VISION
John Willis Griffths RevoIutionized the
Science Of Merchant ShipbuiIdino
and Naval Architecture.

John Willis Griffiths was the man
who rev0lutionized the science Of mer-
chant shipbuilding and naval archi-
lecture. In 1S41 he appeared before
the American institute In New York
and proposed a model for new ship.
He succeeded In interesting william
AspinwaIl, one of New York's China
trade princes, who In 1912 signed a
contract to build ship of 750 tons
according to Griffiths' designing.
The ship was completed In January,
1S45. and named the Rainbow. The
Rainbow sailed for China In Febru-
ary, and was back home again In Sep
tember to reward her owners with 200
per cent over what she had cost.
John Willis Griffiths was born In
New York in 1900, and died there
In 1882. He was the inventor Of the
trap style Of hull construction; the
builder Of the United States steamship
Princeton. the first twin screw ocean
going vessel, and was the inventor
Of the process Of bending ship tim
ber In a vacuum. In 1851 he pub
lished privately a treatise on naval
architecture which attracted compara-
lively little attention in this country,
but Its merits were recognized In Eng

Milk, that mild and healthful bever-

ist, but
1t happened not long agO-since Jan.

wife, apparently seeking to keep her
lord and master in good humor, mixed
a barrel Of home brew guaranteed to
develop real kick, and set 1t out In
the yard to ferment. A neighbOr's
COW happened along and tasted.
One taste led to another, and finally
the barrel was empty. But not so the
COW. She was most decidedly and sat
isfactorily "full." Anyway. bossy was
fighting drunk, and she started out to
clean up that mining camp. and sue

met her Wellington In Deputy Sheriff
Adolphson. The COW charged the
sheriff, who dodged.
Then bossy suffered from the hallu-
cination that has afflicted humans un-
der similar circumstances. She gave
evidence Of seeing a multitude Of
Sheriff Adolphsons. and finally firing
herself with aimless charges fell down
and asleep. When she awOke next day
her "jag"' was over. But 1t Is reported
that her milk sold at premium for

The "clty farmer" as they humor-

and the experience he gained from his

In every beneficial way, and the best
of all is that he fell In love with his

He found health there, and more Of
