The total quantity of imported
seed varies from year to year. but
commonly represents considerable
amount, large enough in l92021 to
make up about one-fourth Of the to-
tai seed handled by dealers. The
character Of this imported seed is
therefore a matter of Importance to
the American farmer, since the seed
a farmer uses often determines the
success or failure of his clover crop.
In recent years by far the greater
part of the imported red clover seed
has come from France or from Italy,
the sizes of the crop in each coun-
try or the surplus above the local
demand determining from (which
country the seed came.
Under the import seed law the de-
partment can make sure the foreign
seed is clean and will grow. Be-
yond this the department has no au-
thority.

| Taylor was pretty nearly wild
with anx ETY. for the only reason he
could attribute for anyone stealing
the machine was that the thief in
tended to beat him to the patent Of
/ flee and gain the enormous wealth
VIII CHI would accrue to the inventor
of such wonderful device.
He took the matter up with his
legal friend and it was decided to
apply for a caveat, which is an
agreement with the patent office
that when a man Is at work on a
certain machine and intends to pa
tent it the patent office for the space
of one year will not. grant patent
to anyone else for that machine
without notifying the holder of the
caveat of such application.
Diligent work upon the part of
the officers failed to locate the sto-
len machine, but as the blacksmith
received his caveat he didn't worry
so much, especially as he had taken
the precaution, before leaving the
device in the shop, of removing some
of the parts.
Then the machine was found again.
1t seems some of the boys in the
neighborhood, who had heard of the
work in which Taylor was engaged,
and who looked upon the blacksmith
as sort of crank, had taken it for
joke and had hidden it in a de,
serted barn nearby.
The recovery of the machine saw
ed the blacksmith the trouble of
building another which he easily
could have done, and so it was only
short time until he had the ma
chine together and ready to operate.
Taylor was proud Of his work, too
and decided that when he gave the
starting lever pull and the machine
began its operations which would not
halt until the parts were worn out
or until he stopped it, he wanted all
his neighbors and his friends in adj
joining sections to see it work.
So it was that he announced that
upon a certain date he would give
the machine a trial and that every
body in the nearby territory would.
be- welcome to come and see it work.
The day of the trial there was
quite crowd present, for everybody
in the vicinity knew Taylor and the
hope was general that he would
make good on his perpetual notion
machine.
Finally everything was ready.
There, in front of the shop, stood.
the machine on bench. Taylor
gave a little talk to the crowd on
what the machine was intended to
do, then gave a lever a pull.
The next instant pieces of the de-
Vice were flying every which way !,
for when the machine started it flew
to pieces.
Sadly the crowd departed, for
everybody liked the blacksmith and
there was genuine sorrow among
those who had been present over the
failure of the device to work proper
ly. AS for Taylor, his heart was
broken, for he mad built wonderful
dream castles upon the mechanical
wonder. yAlt4 ~
He made no more attempts to in
vent perpetual motion, but for years
the folks in the vicinity talked of
the blacksmith's dream which had
faded when practically. on the eve.
of realization.

FARMER KILLS SELF
Randolph County Man Swai-

Pocahontas, May 22.-Lute Mock, aged 30, a Well-known farmer of Randolph county, committed suicide in his home near Crockett, about 10 miles north of Pocahontas, at five o'clock Sunday morning. He swallowed about an ounce of carbolic acid, and died 30 minutes later.

 Telling his wife he was feel ing i'll, Mock went to the medi- cine cabinet, procured a vial of the poison and drank the con- tents before his father-in-laW with whom he was liYng could interfere.

1t Is Easy When
 Everybody Works

There is a movement spread. ing over certain sections Ot some of the Southerr. states that has great posslDiiltiesi when properly pushed.
 The idea is to have communi- ty meetings and pick out cer- tain things of a public nature, and then arrange for a general community holiday on a certain date at which time everybody takes day off from his regu- lar work, and they turn out by the hundreds and do the thing that has been decided upon for the day.
 For instance, if a certain piece of road needs fixing, eV- erybody turns out and the road is fixed.
 When the people of a eom- munity become imbued with this spirit, they take more in- terest in the welfare of their community, they become bet ter citizens and men of broad CT visions.
 It has proven a great success in every case that has come un- der our notice.
 And if it is successful in other places, why not here?
 Why can't we of this town declare three or four such gen. eral holidays and everybody turn out and make some inn provement that is greatly need ed in our midst?
 Why can't We do something that will make this a more at tractiye place for the farming community around?
 Why can't we do something that will be of commercial and civic value to our community?
 We need a few get-together meetings. There are plenty of things in the way of public improvements that need atten- ton, and The Journal knows of no better way of getting them done than by a move ment of this kind.

WARMING UP THE OIL

stalled in the bottom Of a $1,000 bar

purpose OF raising the temperature

A mile pipe line running to the

bilities OF pushing the greatest guam
titles Of oil through the line during

balance of this season. In lowering
the line to greater depth during cold
weather more or less frost and snow
gathered in the trenches and until
the earth adjacent to the pipe line Is
warmed up the flow Of oil will be cut

on under the boilers Of the Midwest
refinery this week and found to work
perfectly. From twenty to thirty
million cubic feet of gas will be con-
sumed daily for some time and it is
expected that shortly the amount
consumed will be Increased gradual
ly until fifty to ninety million will
be used daily. This will be made
possible by installing booster pumps

THE INsuRANCE PROBLEM


A man who has always found it q
nuisance to pay his annual insurance
premiums has discovered n way to
do so easily.
As soon as he made his last annual
payment he started at once to build
up a special fund for his next pay
ment.
Some have adopted the same plan
for their taxes, vacation, expenses.
etc.
1t is q good idea to plan ahead for
the larger payments You must make
and lay aside small amounts each
week or each payday until you have
the money ready. This plan allows
your regular bank account to go on
growing.
Small sums are easily obtained
but it takes planning to have the
larger sums ready when you want
them.
Think it over.
