he tells himself that it is wiser
to "think things over"-to look
before you leap" He has said
these things for so long, and
so vehemently, that he really
believes they are the truth. He
believes in them as sincerely as
the poor tenderfoot believed in
his gold brick. He does not see,
any more than the tenderfoot
could see, the baseness beneath
the gliding.
Sometimes he wonders what's
the matter with his life. He
envies other men their more
brilliant careers. Why can't he
ever get ahead?
The answer is H E'S
HANDING HIMSELF A GOLD
BRICK.
HE'S FALLING FOR HIS
OWN CON GAME; EXCHANG-
ING HIS BIRTHRIGHT AS A
MAN FOR A COWARD'S GILD-
ED ALIBI.
I know a woman who is spoil
ing her own and her family's
life by her ruthless selfishness.
She doesn't call it selfishness
of course, and she'd be furious
if anyone else did. She calls
it "love"- in the name of
love she does the most abomin-
able things to her husband and
children. She NEEDLES, nags,
whines. loafs, imposes, flies into
tantrumS, d m n S constant
attention.
Yet, in spite of her ceaseless
efforts, she is never happy.
She is neither loved nor re-
spected, as other mothers are.
To the contrary, her children
try in every way to evade her,
and her usband openly
despises her.
She wonders why. She is
honest in her wonder. She sin
cerely believes that she is
Wonderful M o t h r, tragically
unappreciated and mistreated.
She's dreadfully sorry for her
self, and unhappy.
EACH TIME SHE EXCUSES
HERSELF, SHE IS CHEATING
HERELF.
EACH TIME SHE REFUSES
TO FACE THE TRUTH, SHE
IS PU TTING SELF
DEEPER INTO THE HOLE.
Don't hand yourself a gold
brick! If things aren't break
ing right for you, you can be
sure there is something wrong
IN you. Face what's wrong.
Cowardice, Selfishness, lazineSS,
greediness, conceit, dishonesty
whatever it is, face it, in all
its ShamefulneSs. It will be
hard to take; but it won't in
the long run, be as hard to take
as the double-crossing you are
handing yourself now. So
SCRAPE THE GILT FROM
YOUR GOLD BRICKS! FIND
THE BASE BUNKUM THAT IS
HIDING UNDERNEATH!

Jobs Wanted

This increase was due pri-
marily to widespread unem-
ployment. 1t was due in part
to the foolish performance of
several Democratic Senators
and Representatives. They got
Congress to publish at public
expense a thick volume in
which was listed every Federal
office outside the classified
civil service and the salary at
tached to such office.
These volumes were then
circulated, at public expense,
up and down the country.
Thousands of people were Civ
en- to believe that all they had
to do to get a lucrative Fed
eral job was to write their
Senator or their Congressman

a certificate of affiliation with
the Democratic party.

When President Roosevelt
gets around to it, he will find
that a tremendous opportunity
to extend the merit system
throughout the Federal service
awaits his leadership.
One of the reasons why the
Roosevelt Administration has
not been able to do more to
advance national recovery is to
be found in the prevalence of
the So-called "spoilS" system.

Bringing Pullets Back
to Production of Eggs

According to Berley Winton, Mis-
souri, College Of Agriculture, how to
get pullets back into production in
cold weather after they have gone
into a molt in November or Decem-
ber is a question frequently asked.
The reason why certain pullets molt
is because they do not have the In
herent ability to continue to lay
during the winter. On the other
hand. many pullets go into a molt
because Of faulty management or
incorrect feeding practices. Pull
lets that lay heavily in the fall
often lose body weight. and this Is
thought to be the primary cause
of such pullets moltlng. To develop
pullets that are heavy In weight
prior to the time they come into
production and then feed them In
such a manner that they will main
tain that weight and continue to lay
at the same time Is difficult to do.
To get pullets back into laying
condition In cold weather Is like
wise a real problem. The use Of
electric lights and the feeding of a
moist. crumbly mash each day are
the two methods commonly en-
ployed to hasten production. Both
methods have the same effect In
that they are conducive to a greater
consumption of feed.
When electric lights are available
care should be taken to see that they
are used regularly-turned on and
off at the same time each day. The
use of lights in the morning does
not require dimming device and
the operator is always at home.
Just recently the use Of all night
lights has been reported with such
high degree of success. Such a
system calls for the use Of 15-watt
bulbs rather than a more intensive
light. The linn light will make it
possible for the chickens to eat feed
from hoppers at any time. Such
lights will also reduce the cost Of
electric current. One light Is used
for each 200 square feet of floor
space and should be suspended six
feet above the floor.-Missouri

Good Idea Is to Unite
Two Weak Bee Colonies

The uniting OF bee colonies for
winter requires some Judgment and
care There may be in the yard a
fairly strong colony with plenty of
brood and little honey. and along
side il queenless hive with plen-
ty of honey and decreasing force.
The uniting OF these two will result
i'm strong colony with all that is
needed for winter. Queenless col
onies. as rule. should be united
with colonies that have good
queen. Ii is useless to try to win
ter over queenless colony.
To unite two or more colonies,
remove the cover OF one hive. spread
a sheet OF newspaper having a few
small holes punched through it over
the frames then lift the other hive
from the bottom board and set 1t
directly on the newspaper. If a
third colony is to be united with
this. take off the cover of the sec
ond hive and set on the third hive
as before The bees will gnaw away
the newspaper and thus unite with
out fighting. If the queens are
equally good. the job of killing the
extra queen can be left to the bees,
hut If one OF the queens is old or
otherwise inferior. she should he
hunted out and killed beforehand.

Best Pig MANAGEMENT

If at all possible. the farrowing
places for pigs should be out in
clean pastures. These pigs should
be left in these clean pastures as
long as there is any green feed
available. There are three reasons
why this kind OF pig management
is advisable: 1t prevents the pigs
becoming infested with worms; it
reduces the possible losses from
anemia; and 1t helps to give the
pigs good start before winter
weather necessitates their being
more closely confined In central hog
houses and under dry lot feeding
conditions. AS Il rule. winter ra-
tions are more or less deficient in
nutritive values. 1t is not quite fair
to young pigs to put them on ra-
tions of this kind in addition to
their already having poor start

New Wheat Holds
Out High Promise
"Yogo" Hailed by Depart

Many Reasons.

A new winter wheat, ''yOgO.' has
been released by the Department of
Agriculture and the Montana agri-
cultural experiment station for linn
tied trial in Montana under farm
conditions.

hard red winter wheat yet produced
for this northern area by the wheat
breeders OF the department. 1t
survives the severe winters of Mon

to bunt or stinking smut These
three qualities, difficult to combine
in one wheat, furnish the basis for
distributing yogo and for believing
that it will be successful in north

able for distribution. Last year a

Yogo has been developed and
thoroughly tested by the depart
ment for yield. winter hardness,
smut resistance. and milling and
baking qualities. In 1892, it was
one of so varieties tested for smut
resistance. After the seed had been
inoculated with smut it was grown
at eight experiment stations in the
Great Plains area. Yogo ranked
eighth, averaging only IT per cent
of infection, whereas karmot, a
hard red winter wheat grown ex-
tensively in Montana, averaged 47.6
per cent.
