PROTECTING WHEAT AFTER
HARVEST

Quality depends greatly on the way
the wheat Is handled after 1t Is ripe.
Permitting the grain to get wet in
shocks or stacks, is responsible for
much loss. AS a result Of exposure
to rain and sun, sprouting, molding,
heating in the stack or bin, some or
all of which are practically sure to
take place when wheat is not promptly
threshed or carefully stacked, are Of
common occurrence. Wheat must go
through the sweat and 1t is undOubted-
ly better and more profitable to thresh
from the stack than from the shock
even though it may be a little more
work in the first instance.
Threshing green or damp wheat and
putting it directly into the bin will
almost certainly result in a loss.
1t pays to produce quality wheat and
It Is a burning shame to neglect the
crop after it Is produced. i.

Autoinq for Wolves.

The motorcycle threatens to out
rival the broncho as an instrument OF
locOmotion on Western ranches and
cattle ranges. According to the Illus
trated World, cowboys are using 1t
for rounding up cattle, driving in stray
animals, inspecting long lines OF
fences and other such work. BY all
odds the most remarkable purpose for
which the motorcycle Is employed,
however, is that Of chasing coyotes.
Such a machine. If the terrain be not
too difficult can easily overtake n Of

beast down to a point where it can no

SCORED ON THE PRINCIPAL
Young School Teacher Got Gloriously

Now, the principal Of this school Is
sarcastic as well as intelligent, and
whenever she happens to mention a
subject and finds that her teachers
are ignorant on the subject n
'bawls them out" for their ignorance.
Especially is this resented by the new

Recently the principal acquired "a

proud of the acquisition, mentioning
him often in her conversations.
The other morning she began to ask
the teachers about an article she had

them had read it. Sarcastically she
asked: swell, don't any Of you read
the papers?"
The newest recruit smiled sweetly

TRUTH ABOUT AVERAGE MAN
Not a Bad Fellow at Heart, and Really
Is at Least Entitled to
liberation.

The average man is not a bad fellow
when you come to know him. You have
to make his acquaintance if you are
not to hold yourself alOOf from this hu.
man, interdependent world, remarks a
writer in the Philadelphia Ledger. He
constitutes a majority. 1t Is by his
vote that candidates are set up and
issues determined and business gov
erned and charities supported and
plays patrOnized. There is a great
deal Of money in pleasing the aver
age man. Moreover, the level Of his
tastes is rising, though pessimists re-
fuse to see 1t OF to say so. He Is ca
pable of education and he has travelled
far since his training began.
He needn't always be given all that
he asks for; sometimes he makes mis-
takes, and sometimes he wants what
isn't good for him. Sometimes he
loses his head, and in an incendiary
or inebriate temper, loses that which a
cooler judgment in a calmer hour leads
him to worry for. But on the whole
he is strangely reasonable and patient
and self-controlled. 1t is touching to
find how often he is doing the best
he can, according to the light he has.
He serves the world far better than
some eccentric and unconventional
mortals who sheer at him for following
a dull, Unconditional routine.
Leaders Of men have learned to deal
with the average man, to talk his lam
guage and to understand his ways.
They have taught the rank and file
to discover a latent capacity and to
reveal a strength hidden and unsus-
pected. They have had faith In the
general good sense and honest inten-
tons Of mankind" They have gen.
timely loved their fellows and their
sympathy has been real and manifest.
Neither in war nor In peace Is a VIC
tory to be won unless the captains put
their confidence in a host.
