Have you ever watched a tight basketball game? Did you notice how hard it is for a "Hlome Team Player" to get the ball while standing near his basket? Even when he gets it, his antagonist us- ually spells the shot by guarding" Later he does get a sucker" shot, and misses it anyway!

Money, to most of us, comes rather slowly. That's the reason why we derive so much enjoyment, when we do get it and spend it, though the money goes quicker than it comes.

It's a known fact that most of them get their clothes at DBL" where their money buys the utmost in Style, Quality and Value.

Edison Tells HosO He
Talked to Sweetheart

The great Edison confesses, in
Hearst's InternationalC Cosmopolitan.
that he couldn't talk to his sweetheart,
now Mrs. Edison, without holding her
hand. He said:
Il taught the lady of my heart the
Morse code, and when she could both
send and receive we got along much
better than we could have with spoken
words, by tapping our remarks to one
another on our hands. Presently
asked her thus, in Morse code, if she
would marry me. The word yes is an
easy one to send by Geographic sig
nails, and she sent it.. If she had been
obliged to speak it she might have
found it harder.
Nobody knew anything about many
of our conversations on a long drive in
the White mountains. Ifawe had spoken
words, Others would have heard them.
We could use pet names without the
least embarrassment, although there
We're three other people in the car
riage. We still use the Geographic
code at times. When we go to hear
a spoken play she keeps her hand upon
my knee and telegraphs the words the
actors use so that / know something
about the drama though l hear nothing
of the dialogue"
Edison has been deaf since his
twelfth year.

SaDed Money and
Wear on Trousers

An Indiana pedagogue, who, since
the events narrated in this story, has
attained some prominence in state edu-
cational circles, decided to buy a new
suit soon after arriving at the college
town for his first semester in college.
He liked one suit very much, it just
seemed made for him, but he viewed
the pronounced crease in the trouser
legs with trepidation and finally STAN
mered:
"Well, 1 like the suit but / don't
like that wrinkle.
He later came to accept the "wrin-
kle," however in fact, he became such
slave to it that he worked overtime
to keep it. One night two college
chums went to his room and found
him, trouserless, studying. To their
inquiry as to the cause of his state he
replied:
"Oh. it costs me SO much to keep the
crease in / just thought | wouldn't
wear my trousers when | was in my
room. ''-Ind,anapolis News.

Wales Credited With
Some Snnppy Comeback

The prince of Wales is the hero Of
an anecdote that does credit to his wit.
The prince was held up one Septem
Der evening by reporter in New
York night club.
"Sir," said the reporter hurriedly,
"Will you please tell me why, at your
age, you are not yet married? Is it
true that you were once engaged to,the
king of Italy's daughter and that the
engagement was broken off? If 80,
what was the cause of the rupture?
Would you be willing to marry an
American girl? Would your parents
be Wiling? What dowry"
Hold on, the prince interrupted.
"You must first tell me your name, age
and salary. Are you single married
or divorced? If divorced, what ali
mony do you pay? DO you really pay
it? Ever been fired? If so, why? How
did it feel the last time? State
But here, with an impatient laugh,
the reporter turned and hurried from
the night club.

FEEDING COLTS ON
GRAIN is FAVORED

That young colts to do their best
must be fed grain, has frequently
been advised in these columns. Re-
Gently it was our pleasure to visit one
of the large stock farms located in
the central portion of the state, writes
an expert in the Farmer and Breeder.
On it we saw splendid herd of
Shorthorn cattle and also large York
shire swine but what pleased US most
was the twenty three grade and pure
bred Shire colts which we saw in the
box stalls at their dams sides in the
horse barns. They were an excellent
lot of colts-as good as we have seen
on any farm for long time.
We visited at the farm for several
hours with the herds and in the fields,
observing the results of breeding
which had been practiced in the for
mer and the methods of management
which were being practiced about the
farm. We Glanced to go into the
horse barns just as the caretaker was
feeding the mares at four o'clock p. m.
before turning item, together with
their colts, out to pasture for the
night. Immediately we looked into
the stalls to see what the colts would
be doing while the mares were MUNICH
ing their grain. These colts ranged
in age from three to-eight weeks.
Were they lying down and asleep,
standing back in the stall, or nursing
the mothers? Not a single one of
them AS we passed from stall to
stall, we found every colt standing up
to the feed boxes and enjoying it's bite
of grain with it's mother. No Won
der they were such fine fellows, big
for their age, and the pictures OF
thrift-drafterS all in the making. We
then followed the feeder from stall to
stall as he fed the remaining mares
with colts, and sure enough, those
colts knew what was coming when the
door opened and he stepped into the
stall with pail in hand. They didn't
hesitate to be shown the way, but
made a Decline for the feed box. They
stayed, too, until all the feed was
gone.
We repeat, if young colts are to do
their best, as well as they should,
they must have grain. The colts on
this stock farm were getting it to-
gether with their mothers; a mixture.
of bran and oats with, a little corn.
The feed boxes were attached to the
walls in one corner of the stalls at
point low enough so that the colts
could easily reach them and eat out
of them. 1t is a good way and very
simple one Colts are naturally Gu
rious to know what their mothers are
doing and to do likewise. and so soon
learn to eat in this way
While at this farm we had an OPP
portunity to further study the benefit
of feeding the colts on grain and con-
tinuing to do so during their early de-
velopment. Out in the pastures we
saw number Of yearlings, two-year-
olds, and three-year-olds, all of which
had been fed similarly to this years
colts. They were all big, growthy
drafters, far advanced in their de-
yelopment for their respective ages,
compared with che general run Of
young horses seen about the state.
Producing high class draft horses isn't
matter of breeding alone. but one
of good feeding, too

CHILDREN's NEWS

"Come and hear the latest number
Of Natureland News" shouted Billie
Brownie to the other Brownies and
Elves and Fairies and Old Witty Witch
and Old Mr.. Giant, the members of the
Bogey family and Oaf family and the
Gnomes
'There is news of Natureland and
some interesting items of Child World,

gan to read the paper aloud to all the
little Fairyland creatures who now
gathered together IN the big Fairyland
Wood
These were the items Billie Brownie
read:
A letter was received some little
while ago, just after our last Nature
land News went to press, from a little
girl named Lorna. Lorna is eleven
years old and lives on farm in South
Dakota. She likes to write stories and
she likes to read stories. She loves the
country. She loves the fall better than
any season Of the year. She said that
last fall the potato crop and the car
rots were splendid. She likes to wear
knickers and she is in the seventh
grade in school, She likes to go to
school.
She has lots of cousins and friends.
At her farm are several pet pigs.
There are Billy Pig, Lady Pig and
Toughy Fig.
Also she has a dog named Jiggs.
A little girl named Helen and her
sister Jean have gone TO California
on a trip. They love stories although
Jean doesn't read stories to herself as
yet. But Helen reads them to her so
nicely.
Peggy, who lives by the sea, writes
letters without mistake in spelling
as she asks how to spell each word.
She has new pen Of WHICH she is very
proud. Nelly told us, after hearing
about Peggy, that she could never get
q letter all spelt correctly even if She
asked how to spell each word. She
said she would be sure to get some
words wrong, somehow.
Peggy had a birthday lately and was

Webster's Power

His power, like that of all great
masters, was not in excellent parts,
but was total. He had great and
everywhere equal propriety. H
worked with that closeness OF adhesion
to the matter in hand which joiner
or chemist uses and the same quiet
and sure feeling of right to his place
that an oak or a mountain have to
theirs. After all his talents have been
described there remained that perfect
propriety which animated all the de
tails of the action or speech with the
character of the whole. -Emerson.
