say that main springs break because
they are wound too tightly. The break
ing always occurs after the watch has
been wound two or three hours.
The cause which jewellers give as
probably the mos, reasonable one is
that there might be kink in the deli
cate spring when it is inclosed within
the tiny barrel which holds it. These
little springs are from q to "a inches
long and are inclosed in case three
fourths of an inch in diameter. The
watch maker uses instruments TO put
the main spring in place and tries to
avoid getting any kinks in it. II there
happened to be kink in the spring, ii
would naturally become weak; and the
constant strain on the spring is likely
to cause break at the weakened point.

ADMJRES THIS BEAUTIFUL
HILL COUNTRY COMMUNITY

A. P. Sandels, editor of rural well
fare work in the Toledo Weekly
Blade, writes an interesting article
about Rural Dale, it's church, it's folk
and the farm institute recently held
there.
The article follows:
"In a beautiful hill country there
is modest church constructed for
the worship of God and the better
ment of mankind.
"This pleasant place is known as
Rural Dale church. Rural Welfare
editor accepted invitation to speak
at farm institute held in this cozy
corner of the world. Good folks
dwell in the hills.
1.-THE regular farm institute speak
ers were w. D. Zinn of West Vir-
ginia, and DR.. Mary Anderson of
Ohio. These two are veterans in this
work. We arrived at the church just
in time to hear them say good bye.
The audience which filled the church
stood up and gave. these two speak
ers vote of thanks for their good
lectures given during the two days
of the institute.
CDR. Anderson is lady doctor
with years of successful practice to
her credit. Her talks to farm folks
on health and home sanitation
ought to be heard or read by every
rural dweller in America. She has a
real message for all, but more espec-
tally for mothers and housewives.
Several years ago Rural Welfare dis
covered the good qualities and fine
ability of this lady and persuaded
her to engage in institute work and
she has made good many times over
and it is very gratifying to us to see

"Mr. Zinn has spent a score of
Years in his missionary work among

He is interested in better agricul-

He has the parents as well as pupils
taking deep interest in the work.
zone of the odd features Of the,
institute was a display of about 20
ears OF corn and each ear had some
defect and the trick for the farmer
to do was to pick out the defect in
each. This was one of the hardest
tests Mr.. Farmer had ever gone up
against. 1t took lot of conceit out
of some of the old boys who had
been growing corn for many years..
1t was a good jolt for them and just
the thing they needed to show them
they did not know it all.
The school superintendent had
fine exhibit of the products made
from corn and also a soil testing ap-

1--WE found there folks wide
awake on many public questions and
in sympathy with farm organization
and cooperation. They have been
hard hit by low prices for their crops
and high taxes. They have no use
for road hogs and the professional
boss in politics. Their county has
been hard hit by road hogs who have
reaped rich harvest on high cost
roads. Good roads are the one great
need of Rural Dale community. The
fried chicken, buns, butter, pie and

worth living"
