MORE IN LIE THAN MONEY
Writer Admits That His Rules for Llv-
ing May Be Odd, but He Do.
fends Them Ably.

Do you find your mind dwelling a
great deal upon money, upon the max
ing of money, upon the spending of
money? l don't know whether my idea,
my policy, my practice regarding this
matter is wise or not. However. If has
worked out to my satisfaction and is
not going to cause any regrets ut the
close of the chapter. | very early
made up my mind how | would act in
regard to money making and money
spending. l said to myself Il am go
ing to make all the money | can hon
estly, and shall spare no effort 10 in
crease my usefulness, and us a eorol-
larry, my ea ng capacity. | am going
to spend It l need to spend and
spend it neither stingily nor foo. .ishly,
but in Il rational, sensible way. And
then l am going to let it go ~ that.
Whether l build up fortune lapidly
or succeed in saving only slowly, | am
not going to worry one iutl."
The result was that | rarely let my
mind dwell on the subject of money.
l found myself becoming mere and
more interested, as grew older in
what could accomplish, in what could
put into the world, and less concerned
over how much l could have in return.
To make the confession Which follows
will probably damn NE us ii business
man, but the truth is that | repeatedly
forgot to go and draw my salary, and
was surprised to find two or three
checks handed me by the cashier IL
stead of one check-With the result that
the cashier finally hit upon the plan
of mailing me my salary weekly! Let
me make another confession, also a
very unbusinesslike one, fear: new
er kept regular tabs on how much
money l had in the bank. | knew, of
course, in general way about how
rapidly or slowly | was getting ahead
Of my expenditures and once in IL
while would inquire as to the exact
status.
don't like people who are contin-
ually thinking about money aad con-
tinually talking about money. Money
isn't life; money is only by>product
of life. The main thing, as | Ree it, is
to develop your abilities to tie fullest
extent, apply them day by day with
all possible diligence and intelligence,
honestly earn as much as sou can !;
spend prudently and, as your circum-
stances improve, more and more gen
erously and unselfiShly utilize the sur
plus as profitably as you know how.
Then forget the money end of life and
devote your mind to useful effort
And the chances are it will all come
out right in the end.-B. G. Forbes in
Forbes Magazine.

Two Points to Remember.

II trees and shrubs are TO be planted,
they must be considered from two
standpoints-thes space they occupy on
the ground, or plan; and their contour
against the sky, or elevation. In this
study artistic skill is called into play
to create the best possible effects. The
contour should be studied with view
to blottlng out unpleasant views and
allowing glinpses of pleasant ones, nj
the same time avoiding monotonous
and poorly balanced effects. shrub
berry borders always have Irregular
outlines except where the shrubs are
to be clipped to formal hedge effects
.-H inr a.l.l1r Ia "' pf ,hUt nuf3 'flHe
requires careful STUDY. The shrubs
should be selected SO that those in
front reach the ground with their foil
age. concealing the uns'ghtly bare
stems of more upright and taller varle-
ties. And excellent effects may be OBJ
tained by grouping with respect to flow
ering season and winter appearance;
and even with respect to the color of
foliage, us great variation exists In the

NEW DORMIToRIES FOR
BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS

Two immense dormitories, each 90
by 1872 feet in size, Will greet the state
fair visitors this year.
These have been erected by the fair
officials out of the $25,0OO appropri-
ated for the purpose by the last State
Legislature for the use of the Boys
and Girls Club members.
These dormitories, which will be
completed by the middle of September,
are located just south of the old quar-
ters of the club members; they will
comfortably house 500 boys and girls,
together with their chaperones, club
leaders and the officers of the organi-
Zation.
A total sum of 100000 was asked of
the Legislature, so that in addition to
the dormitories, demonstration quar-
ters and an assembly hall, as well as
offices and the like, could also be
built, making the department COM
plete, but the lawmakers cut the
amount as stated. So for this years
encampment the old quarters will be
overhauled and rearranged for de-
monstrations and the like.
The dormltories will be separated by
an open court 40 by 1872 feet in dimen-
sions, and they Will be furnished and
equipped so that the club members
will be as much at home while ut the
fair the last week in September, as if
under their own family roofs.

state fair, beginning September "a.
For the first time the United States
government will make Il dairy display
at the state fair; it will be something
tremendous and marvel in the line
of education. This will be entirely
separate from the agricultural depart
ment display. 1t will be great dairy
and milk products factory of its own.

in dairy education; how to best pro-
duce, how best to market, all about
how to manufacture every product
from milk
Lectures, demonstrations and illus
tratlons will be numberless Just how
to succeed in the dairy business will
be shown; all this emenating from the
most widespread and carefully col
