Uncommon Sense
-:
BY JOHN BLAKE
IF YOU DON'T KNOW

IF YOU don't happen to know how
to spell a word, consult the diction-
airy. The effort you make turning
over the pages and hunting out the
word will probably fix the spelling in
your mind.
Ask some boy how 1t is spelled, and
you will almost instantly forget 1t.
Then next time you need to use the
same word, you will have to ask again.
Any form of knowledge, If it is to
remain with you, must be got with
some effort.
The child whose parents answer all
his questions as he is studying his les
son books usually fails in examine
lions, where there are no parents to
ask.
If he had been compelled to look up
the answers he would have remem-
bered them.
If there is no other way to get in
formation than by asking questions,
ask them.
You could not, for example, find out
could find his place of residence and
his telephone number, and his bust
ness, by looking him up. And If neces-
sary for you to know these things, that
would be the only sensible way Of
learning them.
In the study of languages, pronunci-
alton and idiom can be learned Of
teachers. But the grammar and the
vocabulary must be dug out of books
with painful effort. If you tried to
learn vocabularies by asking the mean
ing of words you would make little
progress In the language,
Ask questions when you have to, but
remember that you are pretty sure to
overestimate the number of times
when this is necessary,
Remember, too, that In gaining
knowledge in this way you take
chances on other peoples mistakes.
The safest and surest way Is to go
straight to the printed authority, study
the answer to your question, reason
out for yourself why 1t should be the
answer, and Then think 1t over a c0u,
pie of times after that
The kind of an education you get for
yourself Is like the kind of fortune
a man gets for himself. You know
what 1t Is worth, how hard 1t was to
acquire, and you are very likely to
keep It

leaned against the side of the car and
smoked a cigarette A shout was put
up Immediately for rope
A voice cried Hang him with
some skid chains !"
Jaw, get rope" replied Hackney.

The sound was then heard of some
one tearing up a heavy cloth preparing
crude rope. Hackney, hearing it,
said:
"Well, boys, there is one consola-

with several of you in hell. / did it

New Pure Bred Breeders Directors
No directory Of the purebred
breeders of Winneshiek County has
been made up for some time. No
one realizes the Importance of hav-
ing an up TO date directory of the
breeders more than the County
Agent. We want to urge every
breeder of purebred livestock to
send us his name, address, kind of
stock he breeds and the approximate
number he usually has on. hand. This
will facilitate greatly the securing
of purebred stock by those in
search of it. This not only includes
livestock, but poultry as well. Every
breeder should send in his list
promptly.

Also at the community meeting

N. B. You will notice the Frank
vile township meeting has been
postponed from March 3rd to March
10th. This is on account of E. l..
Beard & Son having to postpone
their purebred Duroc sale to March
3rd.
Notices of these meetings will be
mailed out to members in the res
pective townships but all are urged
to attend whether farm bureau mem
bers or not. We want to emphasize
this fact that we are in Winneshiek
County to serve the agricultural in
terests in any way and every way
possible. We feel that the Farm
Bureau is a great and valuable or
ganization and should have the earn
est support of every farmer. Many
business men realizing its value feel
justified in contributing to its sup
port. The real business of the
county agent, however, is not to
promote the interests of this organ
ization but to be of real service to
the agricultural interests of the
county, knowing well that when ag-
riculture is helped that there is nc
business conducted within the county
that is not also helped, as the pros
perity of our county lies in the sue
cess of agriculture.
Fix Up Week, March 1913
The annual fix up week for farm
machinery proved to be a winner last
wear. Some went so far as to ever
blame the County Agents for the
fact that in some communities the
sale of farm machinery last year was
not up to expectations. We doubt
very much if the fix up week hao
much to do with that, but we dc
know that much time and annoy
ance was saved later in the season
Personally, we are not inclined Ia
have you wait until March 18th to
find out Just what is needed. The
first warm day get out and look your
machinery over. Dealers and manu-
facturers are always rushed with
their repair service about the time
farm work begins. You will get
much more prompt service by or
dering repairs now. Your harness
maker, if you have work that Is
necessary to have him attend to, car
handle it much better at this time
of year than when the rush is on
this is also true of the blacksmith
Nothing is more disgusting 1--WE

than to rush out some beautltu
