c ON MIS- sIoNs.

If we would plant a julep tree
or thirty hills of rice, some punk
commission we must see a dozen
times or twice. No matter what
we plan to do at eventide or dawn,
some U. S. board or other crew
must stamp their o. X, on before
we can begin to move to carry
out our plans-they seem to have
US in groove and with the also
rams. Each day some brand-new
board is born to vex the voter sore
and make him long for keen-edged
sword dipped deep in humane
gore. In regal state commissions
sit and scorn the voters pleas-but
always have friendly mitt for cor
poration fees. "The time has come,
as walrus said to little Alice fair, to
carve commissions thru the head and
chase EN- to their lair. Too long
we've let them hold the reins. too
long they've pulled our legs; now We
will give them moving pains
these modern Silas Weggs. We
will arise in righteous wrath and
smite EN- hip and thigh rs David
smote the man of Gath in days
long since gone by And when the
last commission dies and goes to re-
gions warm, Wen trip back home
with sparkling eyes--to workshop,
state and farm. Wen run our
own affairs, by heck, the way we
ought to do we'll bust the CRATER in
the neck and send him up the flue

LIE MAGIC OF mas FuTuRE.

Can you imagine by what magic
a farmer could 80 to bed at night
and wake up in the morning to find
that his fields had been plowed with
out the aid of either human hand or
team?
You probably can't, because it is
beyond human conception, but h. c.
Forbes. widely known economic writ
er and editor, says that it is neither
dream nor fairy tale
Electricity, he says, will make this
seeming witchery reality, because
this is only one aim of a movement
now in progress to revoutionize
farming. Cooperation, Mr.. Forbes
asserts. between electric companies,
their inventive geniuses and the
farmers will enable the farmer to
pillow while he sleeps.
Such a development seems far
away, bnt in the light Of progress
that has been made, it may be closer
than anyone imagines.

MAGNETISM NOT A
 SILENT MYSTERY
Radio Detects Roaring Of Iron
 Atoms at Contact

Schenectady, N. Y, Nov. .l.-The roaring of the atoms in iron as they are attracted by the magnet can he heard by means of a device recently perfected in the research laboratory of the General Electric company here. The device indicates that mag nctism is not a silent phenomenon, in fact the roaring when the magnet is brought near g. piece of iron plainly can be heard from an ordinary radio loud speaker, according 10 cNpcri- mentors, and consequently it now will be possible to listen to the ef- f"ct of a magnet on iron or other material.
 The apparatus carries out the idea of Dr. H, Barkhausen, Of Dresden, Germany. A piece of soft iron is inserted in a coil of'17.O0O turns of three mil wire. The coil is attached To an amplification set. which in turn is connected to head phones or loud speaker.
 " ll'li lIlt llldSlitl lS ulOuBtll near iron hustle is heard, eXperimentors say. If the approach is rapid, the noise to loud and abrupt, if slow, the sound is soft and moro permanent. When the magnet is removed, simi- lar sounds arc heard. If while the magnet is brought near the iron the poles are reversed, an extremely loud and abrupt noise is heard.
 Scientists believe the phenomenon is caused by the motion of magnetic particles in the iron. When the mag net is near, groups of atoms turn and face in the same direction. The stronger the magnet, the more par ticlcs turn and consequently the greater Inc noise made in turning. Similarly when the magnet is re- moved, the atoms rustic back tn disarranEcmont. When the magnet ic poles are reversed, tho atoms turn about quickly, causing louder 1 noiSr

Vienna, Nov. 21.-The scrub brush has been introduced fin Vienna in a new role--that of flesh reducer. The idea was brought here hy a South American doctor and has made considerable rub in overweight cir cles
 The scrubbing treatment, with a perfectly dry brush, a trifle softer than the kitchen variety, must be taken four or five times a day, the more the better. Every part of the body must be massaged and as much pressure as possible applied to make the work of the bristles effective.
 After the rubbing a cold or tepid shower or plunge should be taken. If these directions are carried out. the enthusiasts say, a pound or so of excess" disappears like magic every week.
