FARM OPPORTUNITIES

r AM constantly In receipt of letters
from women tired of Office work
who ask what chance they would
have In investing their savings in
small farm. They want home, they
want to be their own masters, they
long for the country after years Of
combining labor at desk.
Success in farming requires train
ing and experience as we'll as wish
for that type of work. A good, bust
ness training and initiative are excel
lent as stock in trade, but there should
be more than that. Farming is no easy
job.
Two young women tell me that they
are making money with a small sheep
farm. There Is plenty Of demand both
for the wool and the meat. But these
two women also run an aplary, mar
keting their honey, in distinctive
package. 1t is the finest honey, and
they charge high price for it. They
have worked up trade with list Of
private purchasers, and sell through
the mail.
The thing is to have only the very
highest class Of produce, to charge
high for 1t, to put 1t into attractive
and striking packages that are an adj
vertisement in themselves, and to sell
direct to the consumer. With the par
cel post this Is possible. We find 1t
better to specialize in several things
rather than in one. Establish mar
ket for one Of your Items and you es-
tahlisR Il for all.
This sounds like good talk, and ]

Ths golden kIrrs smile vas lncredu.

"You?" she Knocked.

"This they were able to accomplish,
because of your minority. But the

overlook such a letter, but to Paul 1t

The clock on the landing licked
loudly; then the tawny girl spoke.
''You have tanned your tiger, my dear"
she said, land you shall have your
precious Paul. l never wanted him,
anyway" But when she reached the
top of the stair she stood, her finger

looked at the shining nails they were

whispered. "and clipped-foreyer."

TRAGEDIES TRACED TO OIL
Pipe Lines and Overflow Responsible
for the Deaths Of Many AMI.
mails and Birds.

That almost unerrlng instinct which
carries animals through grave dangers
has led in many instances In the Mid
way and Sunset oil fields Of CalIfor-
MIA to their undolng. Chief among
such victims are rabbits and water
fowl.
A jackrabbit and cottontaIl find
a nice round. smooth hole. There are
many such in the oil fields where OIL
piping is necessity for the trans
pOrtatiOn OF OIL to the retalners. The
rabbits decide to set up housekeeping
there. The cottOntall desires a per
manent home and the, jackrabbit
wants refuge safe from maleVOlent
man.
Soon they discover their habitat is
being moved. No doubt they are
frightened, but they instinctively stay
within their retreat. One end OF the
hole is closed. Even then they do
not leave. Soon the other end Of the
hole is darkened. Then it Is dark
ness eternal for the furry pair.
Some time later It is discovered
that newly laid oil pipe line Is
chOked. After great labor the line is
disJOinted and the remains Of many
rabbits removed. Thousands Of rab-
bits have been thus extermInated In
the oil fields.
The death rate among waterfowl
Is even greater. Again, as with the
rabbits, instinct leads them to certain
destruction. Every little lake of oil
in the vicinity OF a gusher is trap
for the unthinking birds. At twilight
and dawn these tar-colored lakes APP
pear as bodies Of water to the deluded
fowl.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
TARTAR"

nTARTAR," as applied to
the wild tribes which
inhabit middle and CEN
trail Asia, is one of those words
in which a wrongly assumed
derivation has modified the
spelling and the very shape in
which We now have it, for the
people usually designated by
this name are not "Tartars,"
but eaters"
The Interpolation Of the "r"
IN the first syllable came about
when these hordes burst into
Europe during the Thirteenth
century and swept everything
before them. Many persons
claimed that the ravages Of the
invading cavalry constituted a
fulhllment Of the prophecy in
the ninth chapter Of Revelation
concerning the opening Of the
bOttomless pit and the loosing Of
the inhabitants Of the internal
regions. From this belief en-
sued the change Of their name
from "Taters" to "Tartars," the
latter being an outgrowth OF
Tartarus, or hell, whence these
impIacable hordes were sup
posed to have come.
The bravery OF the invaders,
together with their stole disre-
gard for pain and the manner in
which they turned upon their
guards when captured, also gave
rise to the expression "catch a
Tartar" or he caught a Tartar
which Il In use to this day as
I synonym for being taken BY
surprise. particularly when
person thinks that he has made
an easy conquest.

that the first would have corrected
anybody who defined him in that way
by saying that he was a soldier, while
the other illustrious two would have
preferred to be called statesmen.
AS for Benjamin Franklin. If any
body had called him a gentleman, he
would have remarked probably that
he preferred to be q printer.
Daniel Webster was entertained at
the Jockey club in Richmond on
famous occasion. He surprised his
hosts by saying that, though born In
New Hampshire and a senator from
Massachusetts, he could give three
good reasons, why he could claim to
be Southern Gentleman" And he
gave these amid a storm Of laughter.

WORD "GENTLEMAN."

A FRENCH critic, discussing the
IA recent famous battle for the
boxing championship Of the
world, expressed surprise that so
many Americans should have favored
1.-THE challenger from abroad.
Perhaps IL he had stopped to think
Tor a moment he would have realized
that, after all, this Is in the true
sporting spirit.
That spirit is at times hard to cul-
tivate. 1t is natural for city to
want its home team to win In baseball,
and for a college to wish to see Its
young giants sweep all before them
on the diamond, the links and the
gridirOn.
ITO have and to hold' is the motto
Of national or international sport from
yachting to polo.
1t is reasonable for a nation not to
wish to lose any championship once
1t has obtained it.
Various explanations have been
given Of the popularity of Carpenter,
the best small man who stood up to
the best big man In their business in
the world today.
A ray Of light is thrown on the
matter by a word that was used by
several experts In describing the af-
fair. They said that the Frenchman
fought like a gentleman and lost like
one.
This involved no reflection on the
champion, because nothing Of an ''un-
gentlemanly" nature was done by any
body on the memorable occasion in
question.
The interesting thing is the use of
the word gentleman"
1t Is an expression that Americans
have been shy of from the earliest
days, partly because it conveyed
suggestion Of class distinction in
country that has no Glasses" and
partly because the word was hard to
define even in countries where 1t
was In common use.
There is no doubt that in the
Gtrictest sense Of the expression,
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson
and John Adams were gentlemen"
Yet there can be equally little doubt
