Local Chamber of Agriculture.
Another way of viewing the farm
bureau, is that 1t is essentially To-
cal chamber of agriculture, function
ing much the same as local chambers
of commerce do, but very much more
closely affiliated with government
than chambers of commerce are. The
local chamber of commerce works in
SO does the local farm bureau work
in the interests of all the people of
the whole county. including the
Grange, the Union, the Dairymen's 8
League. the Horticultural Society, or
any other organized agricultural
group within the county. The local
farm bureau does not interfere with
the development of any of these or
ganizatiOns, but rather, through its
teaching staff and its direct connec-
tions with the State experiment sta
tions and the National Department of
Agriculture, is in position to bring
any of the local organizations the lat
est advice or assistance on agriculture
or rural matters.
"In the old day II the Farmers
Union or the Grange wanted assis-
tance from the college of agriculture
or the Federal Government, they had
| to send to these departments direct
for such assistance. Now the Federal
Government and the colleges have
placed in each county farm bureau

him to escape from the life of
the savage, and wandering shep-

gathered into fixed communities

the comforts and blessings of

savages. They roared with laughter and
screamed like rowdy children.
A hundred feet of titles-then the face
of Nagapate, the chief, appeared suddenly
on the screen. A great roar of "Naga-
pate' went up. At that instant the radium
lights flashed on and l, at my camera,
ground out the picture of the cannibals>
at the movies" True, about two-thirds
of the audience, terrified by the flares,
made precipitately for the bush. But
Nagapate and the savages around him
sat pat and registered fear and amaze
ment for my camera. In about two min
utes the flares burned out. Then we coaxed
back to their places the savages that had
fed. / started the reel all over and ran
it to the end amid an uproar that made
it impossible for me to make myself heard
when / wanted to speak to Osa. Prac-
tically every savage pictured on the screen
was in the audience. As each man ap-
peared, they called out his name and
laughed and shouted with joy. Among
the figures that came and went on the
screen was that of man who had been
dead a year. The natives were awe
struck. My magic could bring back the
dead
When the show was over, a great shout
went up. 1t was not applause, but it
pleased me more than any applause
have ever received. The savages gathered
into groups and discussed the performance,
for all the world as people do "back
home" Then they crowded about us de-
lnanding their pay for having looked at
my pictures! AS gave them their sticks
of tobacco, each grunted out the same
phrase - whether it meant "Fine'' or
THANK you" or just "Good-by," l do not
know. Nagapate, who always had an eye
to the main chance, asked me for some of
the 'big light" as parting gift, and
gave him two of the radium flares, won

THE cANNIBALs AT THE "MovIEs'

First, great bright square flashed on
the screen. Then came a hundred feet of
titles. The attention of the natives was
divided between the strange letters and
the rays Of white light that passed above
their heads. They looked forward and up
and back toward me, jabbering all the
time. Then slowly out of nothing, fami-
liar form took shape on the screen. 1t
was Osa (Mrs. Johnson), standing with
bent head. The savages were silent with
amazement. Here was Osa sitting at
Nagapate's side-and there she was on the
screen. The picture-Osa raised her head
and winked at them. Pandemonium broke
loose. "Osa- Osa- -Osa- -Osa," shouted the

FAULT FINDING

To find fault does not require brains.
To appreciate requires high degree of
intelligence. Any person can criticise, tear
down or destroy; but to build up requires
real constructive genius. Criticism is
cheap because it is so easily voiced. Con-
structive advice is the priceless possession
of those few who have intelligence enough
and understanding enough to see an un-
desirable condition, and remedy it. The
fault finder is dealer in second handed
junk, he hasn't new idea, live, virile,
constructive thought in his mental makeup.
He does not understand that by criticising
a particular condition, place or person,
he is doing the easiest and most cowardly
thing in the World. He hasn't the pluck
or energy where it is most needed. When
you criticise person you arouse his most
elementary impulse of self preservation: :
you make him antagonistic to your views
and he arises against you with no desire
to remedy his condition. When you criti
else person without showing him where
he is wrong and how he can improve him
self, you are displaying your own egotistic
nature and lack of real intelligence. What
the world needs is little less criticism
and more constructive, inspiring, uplifting
energy We can all drag things down
into the mud if we want to but it takes
real reformer to lift humanity out of the
gutter. IF something is wrong remedy it;
don't make it ,worse.-Selected

Recent bulletins of the Lincoln High
way give the following figures: Length
of road from New York to San Francisco,
1906 miles; of these 1883 miles are i'm
proved; that in the last seven years $751;
100000 has been spent, and that approx
mately $10,O00,O00 more will make the
road good from coast to coast The COM
pletion of this road will doubtless bring
about a passenger stage line from New
York to San Francisco, the stages running
on schedule, as do railroad and trolley
cars. If the stage line operated for tourist
travel is scheduled for $50 miles day, 1t
would take twenty-five days to make the
journey; and if the schedule is 235 miles
day, it would take two weeks to make
the journey, which would be quite vaca-
