Only workers pay for their keep.
This is true Of cows and chickens as
well as bees and men.
A good paint brush deserves to be
cleaned at the end of q job. The best
way to do this is to use gasoline or
tufpentine.
The infection which causes pea
blight is carried by the seed, and 1t
may also live over from one season

ipS for shop tools on the farm,
POI cabinet is better and
cheaper TO make than tool chest.

Just 100 years ago the Baltimore &
Ohio road laid the first commercial
railway track in the world. Since that
time more than 100000 miles of rail-
road have been constructed in this
country alone. This is more than one
third of the aggregate mileage of the
world. The steel and steam lines are
not to be pushed out of the picture by
a gesture from the motorists and avn
ators. There is notable centennial
of service.

Stand Up for Bagpipe

Scotsmen are aroused over the re-
cent declaration of Sir Alexander
Mackenzie that the old-fashioned fid-
die and not the bagpipe, is the ma
tional instrument of Scotland. They
claim that the statement is an assault
on tradition that has been firmly es-
tablished. When FL. r. Heweis, an
authority of the last century, was
quoted to the effect that up to the
Sixteenth century the national must
cal instrument of Scotland, as of Ire
land, was the harp, it brought forth
further protests from the champions
Of the bagpipe.

"tear" never came from a Borrowing
eye. 1t is merely flaw in the glass
accidental at first and skillfully in
tended later. But the name itself,
with the age of the article, is enough
to make it sought after.
Like the tear glasses of modern Eu-
rope were famous tear vases, or lac
rymatories, of the ancient Greeks and
Romans. They are small vessels of
glass, or terra Gotta, frequently found
in tombs and in which the mourners
were supposed to have dropped their
tears. 1t has been decided, however,
that they were used to contain I'M

Hobo" is typical of the new. He is
a grandson of James B. Eads, builder
of the Eads bridge at st. Louis, and
a son of the late James f. HOw,an Of
fetal of the Wabash railroad. Brought
up in an atmosphere of luxury and
refinement, college man, he became
a hobo by choice, and for twenty years
had devoted his time and money to
the hoboes. He was the founder of
the hobo college, which may be estab
lished almost anywhere. Usually it is
one-room affair and here the men
eat, sleep and are taught. Teachers
come from universities and colleges
nearby to lecture on almost every sub
ject under the sun. The "classes" are
conducted through the winter, for,
with the coming of good weather. the
students take to the road again
some of them carrying their "di-
plomas," mimeographed on paper, GER
tifying that they have attended Ger
tain number of Glasses"
The forerunner of the college and
the new status of the hobo was the
organization movement which began
in 1907. In the fall of that year there
was much unemployment and about
five hundred men were stranded in
Tacoma, Wash. jeff Davis, Dan
O'Brien and few other prominent
members of the fraternity made an
offer to the mayor. If an unused
schoolhouse were given to them for
shelter they would keep the hoboes
from begging at back doors and out
of mischief. The mayor agreed. Res
taurants supplied leftover food and
the hoboes spent quiet winter there
There was held the first hobo conven-
tion and the organization idea came
into being.
So now they have the International
Brotherhood Welfare association, in
which ]. Eads How is leading light,
which holds conventions from time to
time in various parts of the country
at which economic problems are dis
cussed and the purpose of which, in
the words Of How, are to educate,
organize. abolish poverty and squalor
and unemployment everywhere" They
have advance agents" ON the road
who carry the gospel of the organiza-
ton throughout the country and or
ganize locals" For the hobo, 1928
model, is no longer the picturesque in
dividual He is fast becoming a
standardized member of an organiza-
tion.
