Dear Sirs:
This certifies that 1 have carefully
examined Mr.. OHagan In my labo-
ratory for fifteen minutes and sub
nitted him to various measure
ments and tests, with a view to
estimating his fitness for the mill
ing business. He measures 1913 CEN
timeters from end to end, of which
his head represents IL per cent
We regard this as too large a pro-
portion of head for a miller His
angle Of vision is Al, which is more
than he will need in your business.
We applied various stimuli to the
lobes of his neck and got very lit
tie reaction from him. We regret
to say that he does not know what
il times 10 is; and we further found
that, after being in our laboratory
for fifteen minutes, he had failed to
notice the number of panes in the
windows.
On the whole, We think him bet
ter suited for social service or uni
versity work or for the church than
for a position of responsibility.
Very truly,
PLS.-We enclose our statement
OF account for seventeen tests at SIS

1t is proving itself an invaluable aid
in wedding out incompetent men who
have perhaps escaped detection for
many years. For example, a firm in
Kansas was anxious to judge the
selling power of its statesmen. An
test applied to their staff
showed that not single one knows
how to sell anything. The firm had
been misled for many years by the
mere fact that these men were sue
cessfully placing orders.
One oc the Kalamazoo celery com
panies, anxious to develop the psy-
chology of growing celery, instituted
a searching test on fourteen of its
gardeners 1t appeared that only
four of them had ever heard OF psy-
and only one OF them could
spell IL. Yet here were men who
had been protesting to grow celery
for twenty years!

CHAPTER LxxIx.
The FOrked Road.

He was one who had walked
gladly with Life; found her ways
were pleasant ways; let her have
an odd caprice or two-no bicker-
ing about it.
Life and he were chumS, march
ing jubiIant and arm in arm. They
reached the parting, so it seemed.
He saw her face of beauty, pale
now and wistful, with remembered
joys; saw her stand so quiet to
look with sad, aVerted eyes, down
paths that he was not to go.
Too soon for this! And new
bright roads just opening. Too
soon for this, and the pulse within
his heart learning a Sweeter tune.
He would stay! Have this last

sat the wilderness and the. beauty

She had a feeling that Jake,

were betraying Jake-that she,

would see in her eyes her coward

Tears rushed into her eyes.
They dropped warmly. She bent
her soft face near to his. "You

you go"
The smile was on his lips, but
faintly-"I think I'm done-I think

She stopped the words with her
lips on his and he murmured,

Breton, who was a sweeper, was

hook snapped. The strain was so
great that when the hook gave way

RECONSTRUCTION

A man came into q Nebraska bank
in the spring Of 1922 and asked for
financial assistance. His statement
prepared in the Service Department
showed he was about bankrupt:
that he owed $1,000 more than his
equipment was worth. He had Q
farm rented for the year. Further
credit had been refused him I'm his
own bank and he was about ready
to quit and apply the proceeds from
the sale of his equipment to his
debts.
The banks Service Man went
with him to his farm and after an
examination decided that II the
farmer had q half dozen cows and
ten brood sows he would probably
be able to use his pasture and in.
tended corn crop to advantage. The
bank finally loaned him $1,000 for
this purpose and took q chattel
mortgage on the stock purchased as
its security. The bank admitted
that ordinarily a loan should not be
made like that, but the farm was
close to town and the stock could
readily be resold.
When the end OF the year came
around the exact records showed
that the family had been well main.
tanned and on half Of the cream
checks; the other half had been ap-
piled on his $3.50 note at the bank,
covering the loan for the cows.
Five days before the year was up
the principal and interest on the
note were entirely paid by cream
checks. The pigs afforded a net
gain OF $1.4o0 after all expenses
were paid. ..-
In addition to this financial gain,
the farmer was taught the value Of
good COW and the necessity Of keep
ing a record of his operations to
know which farm operations are
profitable. The Farm Service De.
partment Of the bank was able to
teach this man things he had never
dreamed about. It is worth the ef-
fort the banks would be called upon
to make If each bank could but turn
one broken, discouraged farmer
into a prosperous one. - Banker
