succeeded. ,ssl. So - s, gs.N,
seTo do ANYTHING, as long as it is not
harmful, is better than doing nothing.
"Take any young man, lazy and careless,
at his work and in his life, put him out on the
theatre stage, where the crowd will see him,
where the footlights will shine In his eyes,
where he will hear the band playing, and he
will at least TRY to do something. He will
straighten up; he will at least have stage fright
and be DISSATISFIED with himself. And
being dissatisfied with YOURSELF is the be-
ginning Of, doing something worth while.
"The trouble is that nine young men out
Of ten 60 through life in trance. They had \
average intelligence.when they were children.
"That intelligence changes into a kind OF
foolish conceit In their young manhood. And
then the conceit dwindles down into nothing
ness as they pass thirty-fve and forty, and the
rest is worthless routine.~
"Please write an editorial with this car
toon trying to make young folks realize that
they are out on the stage Of Life, whether they
KNOW it or not, and that it won't be long be-
fore they 90 out at the right-hand side, when
their chance for this performance will be over"
Mr.. McCay makes an excellent point for young
men and for old men, too. It Is never too late IN
this world Of opportunity, as long as you have
clear mind. @

puts the whole performance.

INDIANS INVEST OIL MONEY
IN PUREBRED POLAND CHINAS

While there may be but little
truth in accounts of Indians who have
become fabuously wealthy thru the
finding of oil on their lands, it is in
tsresting to learn from the county
agent in Usage County, Okla, CO.
operatively employed by the United
States Department of Agriculture
and the State agricultural college,
that a number of mixed-blood In
dian farmers in this district receiving
royalties from oil are investing a part
of them in better live stock.
Usage County is becoming a center
for purebred Poland China hogs, and
many Indians are buying them. The
county agent reports that 100 of the
best hogs to be found anywhere have
been distributed in the county during
the year. These hogs were purchas-
ed from some of the best herds, and
added to good foundation herds,
which were already started in the
county. w- :.i'
The rivalry which has been en-
cOuraged among the members of the
local breeders association has been
of great benefit in this undertaking.
There were about 200 hogs on ex-
hibit at the county fair, and it was
pronounced the best hog show in the
state by the Judges.

Our Life l. Less.

Our Life l. Less.
Comparing ourselves with the
following foreign countries. Austria
liza. Denmark, England, France, Ger
many, Holland. India. Italy, Japan.
Norway, Sweden and Switzerland. we
find that, except for France, India
and Japan. our expectation of life
both for men and women is less IA
vorable than In any of the foreign
countries mentioned.
"In Norway. for example. which
shows the lowest annual death rate
for the first year of life. for every
thousand the rate is eighty-one
deaths for males and sixty-seven for
females. while for the corresponding
class in this country the rate is 1877
for males and los for females. The
most striking thing about these fig
ures is the great improvement in our
death rate during the early years OF
life and the lack OF improvement af-
ter fifty years OF age--in fact, after
fifty the conditions in regard to GER
tam diseases have become worse in
stead of better.
"The American lives too hard and
too fast. 1t is poor economy to edu-
cate and train business men and

the community and state just about
middle life when they should be at

This is the problem which con-
fronts physicians and sauitarioums at

mands the closest consideration not
only from professional persons but
from the community at large"

new life tables, which are soon to be
issued. This will be the second Of
fetal publication on life tables ever
issued in the United States, and fig
ures are now available for the last
twenty years.
People are interested in health
largely because they are afraid to
die" DR.. Ravenel, who is also presl-
dent of the National American Pub
lie Health Association, continued.
THE true motive for health should
be efficiency and not the mere pro-
'longation of life.
THE results obtained by our Cen
trail Bureau shows that the death
rate at practically all ages is high
er for men than for women. and the
women showing the lowest death rate
are those living in rural communi-
ties. For both sexes rural dwellers
show lower death rate, age for
age, than for persons living in cities.
while the average span of life has
increased for both sexes there is no
evidence that there has been any &C
tual increase in the years OF life.
This is explained by the fact that
practically all classes OF people are
living longer on the average, and the
greatest cause of this average in
crease is the saving OF life in the
first five years
I'm 1909 a white female was en-
titled to expect three years longer
life than white males, and in 1910
this had increased to three and one
half years. Except for negroes,
there has been a general improve
ment for all classes up to the age OF
forty for men and fifty for women.
There has been a decided i'm
provement among all classes of pop
ulation in the infant death rate.
Again, we find that children born in
the country show a considerably low
err death rate than those born in the
city. However, it is not as great as
Il was in 1901, which indicates that
the widespread efforts which have
been put forth to better conditions in |

WOOL CROP HARVESTED
FROM APRIL TO MAY Is

Lexington, KY, April S.-Most of
the three million pounds of wool
clipped in Kentucky as the annual
crop of the State is shearsd from
April Is to May Is, sheep men say.
Profits from these fleeces make up
rom one-fourth to one-third of the
total income from the States flOcHs,
the chief object of the Kentucky
sheep raiser being the production of
lambs for market, it is said. Late
sheared fleeces are heavier than the
early sheared because the wool fl
Der has grown slightly longer and
more yolk has been secreted, it is
claimed.
Some of the pointers outlined by
sheep specialists at the College OF
Agriculture for increasing the profits
from the wool clip include the re-
moval of burs before shearing, hav7
ing the sheep dry at shearing time,
keeping the animals in dry, clean
pens that are free from dust, having
the shearing floor smooth. clean and
bright keeping straw and trash out
of the wool, removing the fleece in
one piece without any second Gus,
rolling the fleece toward the neck
with the flesh side out, tieing it with
one strand of wool or paper Irvine
and using only two strings to the
fleece, one each way. 1t is important
not to roll the fleece too tightly. I'M
mediately after shearing, the fleeces
should be packed in wool sacks and
stored in a dry place, the specialists
say
