A Beetle Story

A beetle weighing two grains
is able to move weight of five
and one-half ounces. or 1920
times its own weight. A man
weighing $50 pounds. if proper:
tionateIy strong, could thus move
10000 pounds. or nearly a hun
dred tors. Some years ago l
captured a very handsome beetle
and placed it under a 5eaker-a
thin tumbler used in chemical
analysis-on shelf Of my labor
atory. A few hours after the
beetle had disappeared very mys.
teriously, the beaker remaining
inverted. He was recaptured
and again placed under the beak-
er. l watched the result and
presently found that the beetle
walked the tumbler along the
shelf till IT reached the edge, then
crept out and fell as soon as the
overhang was sufficient to afford
room for escape.-W. Mattieu

The Blessing of Work

One of the best things for any
young man is work. Idleness is
the DEVILS trap. Work is the
liberation of energy, the chan
mel of achievement. Whatever
one may lack of native talent
may be compensated for by pat
lent and persevering drudgery.
The young man who does not
have to work is to be pitled; the
man who won't work is to be
condemned: the man who is will
ing to work but can find no
work to do should have our sym-
pathy aud our aid. But work is
a generic term. One can work
with his brains as we'll as with
his hands; on his knees as we'll as
on his feet; with his pen as we'll
as with his pick; with his pocket
book as we'll as with his plumb
line; with his PRAYERS as we'll as
with his possessions. God has
not held any of us up to one sing
lie line of duty. Obligation is as
wide as lite, and our energies
should be as expansive as our
vision and as generous as our
prayers.-Christian Observer.

A Cure for Faultiinding
The Youths Companion

+; 1t is SO easy to find fault. SO
easy to stand by and criticize
what others do, 10 imaglne what
might have been accomplished
and 10 set it up as a fatal standard
for what has been accomplished!
To slip into the habit of thinking
such things is dangerously easy,
and when we think them it is
difficult to refrain from saying
them. Perhaps the best cure is
to say little or nothing; but for
the most part humanity is not
Contrived that way.
A help to preserving a better
attitude in the matter-is to con-
slider not so much what people
have actually done as what they
tried to do. Once understand
what they were aiming at and
you will understand something
of their difficulties. and perhaps
in the end you will te astonish-
ed, not that they have accom-
plished SO little, but that they
have accomplished SO much.
Also that understanding will
be vastly facilitated if you go
farther and consider whether in
their place you would have done
exactly the same, or even less
we'll. You are human as they
are, your means and capacity are
limited as theirs ale, perhaps
even more limited. When you
estimate the complication of cir
cumstances and put yourself,
your own blundering, mistaking,
regrettlng. ever-recommencing
self, right into them, your tol
erance for the failures of others
will be immensely increased.
For this is the best cure of all:
instead of dwelling upon the
faults Of others, TO give q little AT,

attention, to your own. 1t rs

awkwardness. the sharp, harsh
word you uttered yesterday when

Government employment Offices in

hands to Red River Valley and North
Dakota harvest fields. In one. day
the Minneapolis Office sent out 391

From August to August Is, in

the Twin Cities or the Twin Ports to
northwest harvest fields for flat fare
of $500 man. This rate was grant
ed by the railroads after conferences
with State and Farm Bureau officials
of Minnesota and North Dakota, who
made representations showing that a
drastic fare reduction was the only
way in which the farm hand shortage
could be satisfactorily met. -
The railroads agreed to carry men
to any point designated by the govern

Complete destruction of Is acres of

other fields is attributed to the larvae
of this beetle by Mr.. Michel. Only
once before has it been known to at

FARMERS ACT TO
SPEED MARKETING
Conference Creates Committee Of Five
In Effort to Set Up Grain Sales
Agency At Once
(By Farm Bureau News Service)

by Farm Bureau News Service)
Acting under orders to take all prac-
teal steps to establish cooperative
grain sales agency on the Minneapolis
market at the earliest possible date, q
committee Of five Minnesota agricul-
tural leaders is working at top speed
in an effort to provide Immediately
the necessary facilities for handling
the farmers grain comparatively.
The committee was created by a
conference Of representatives of farm
ers' elevators, county Farm Bureaus,
the state department of agriculture,
and the Minnesota Farm Bureau fed
GRAFTON, in session in ST. Paul on Aug.
j: T.. Reed, president Of the Min
nesota Farm Bureau federation, was
unanimously elected chairman Of the
committee. The other members are
N j. HOlmberg, state commissioner Of
agriculture; T. g. Cashman, member
of the Minnesota Farm Bureau feder7
ation's marketing committee; r. III.
Hagen, farmer and former grain man !;
and H. c.. Lau, Minnesota director Of
the U. s. Grain Growers;7>Inc
The conference met in response to a
call sent out by the Farm Bureau,
urging farmers elevators and all
friends of cooperative marketing to
come together and work out some plan
for handling the 1922 harvest co
operatively to farmers who have
joined the u S. Grain Growers, and
others who desire to market cooper
atively, in case the U. S. Grain Grow
ers is unable to function this fall.
The committee of five was empowered
and instructed to make the most rapid
and thorough investigation possible to
determine the best means of providing
cooperative sales agency Immediate
ly. With a committee representing
the state Farm Bureau declarations of
the midwest in session at Chicago, at
tempting to get a sales agency Of the
U. S. Grain Growers into operation at
once, it was understood that the Min
nesota committee would consider the
handling of grain through the Grain
Growers.
Plans as proposed by a re-organiza-
ton committee of the U. S. Grain
Growers, as we'll as one suggested by
the state department Of agriculture,
were commended to the consideration
Of the Minnesota committee Of five.
The first consideration, Mr.. Reed said,
is speed in providing some practical
means of handling grain comparatively
