Where To Secure Profits
AS a hedge against initiation,
purchased some land near Eureka
Kansas. which has been planted to
alfalfa. This gives me three crops
year, given normal rainfall. Most of
1t is baled and sold for cattle feed
at about $50 per ton. Recently there
has been demand from a man in
Indiana who is willing to pay SIS a
ton for finely ground alfalfa. Check
ing through this sale l find it is
used for making alfalfa tablets"
which are sold at my local Welles-
ley drug store at 81 SO for two hun
dred tablets.
This means that when buy these
tablets, | am paying over $1,000
ton for alfalfa which sell at $25 a

this profit. which comes from the
processing. but use it as an illus
tration that profit in the us. comes
from manufacturing and merchan-
dising rather than from agriculture.
Another illustration OF what I have
in mind is the great success of the
Nutrilite Company Of Buena Park.
California, which has thousands of
men and women selling products
which come from the ocean, or
from the land or the air. I hope to
find in Africa even greater oppor-
tunities for profit from products

1T IS hard to belive that the next-to-last
month of the year is upon us. Highlights
of this November will be election day on
November 4th, and Thanksgiving Day, on
the 9th. In addition, many historical mem
cries are connected with the month Of No
vember.
The LIST is All Saints Day, the 18th is the
day William of Orange came to England in
1888, the 9th is the birthday Of John Philip
Sousa, who was born in 1856. In 1871 the
Battle Of Tippecanoe was fought, and the
Kaiser abdicated on November 9th 1913
Martin Luther was born on November
10th, 1888, and November 18th was ARMS
tice Day for many years - that day having
been the day on which the armistce was
signed ending World War l.
Robert Louis Stevenson was born on No
vember 18TH 1850, William Pitt was born
November 18th, 1908, Tiberus Caesar was
Dor AZ B. c. on November 18th, and John
James Garfield was born on November
10th, 1881
Franklin Pearce was born on November
23rd, 1904, and Mark Twain was born on
November 3Oth 1885.
In addition, Zachary Taylor was born on
the oath in 1884, Guy Fawkes Day falls on
November 9TH James Knox Polk was born
on November 2nd, 1895
Another feature Of November which
most readers will be interested in, is the
ArmyNavy football game, which this year
will be played November 29th Perhaps the
most eagerly awaited football game in the
country, it is always spirited game be-
tween the flower of the nations youth in
the Army and Navy. Before long, the Air
Force Academy will also be getting into the
act

Wrap with Originality i

Use originality in making clev- CT accessories for your gift wrap ping. A cluster of pine cones, a poinsettia, cluster of tiny bells or group of Christmas balls are attractive tied in with the bow on top of a package.
 Other types of paper besides Christmas wrapping paper may be used effectively for gifts Alumi- mum foil, shelf paper and even ordinary newspaper may be used if ribbon and accessories are care fully chosen.
 It is wise to match your ribbon to one of the colors of the paper in which the gift is to be wrapped.
 Once a fine seamstress covered all her small gifts with scraps of cloth, silk, satin, velvet and other materials, Of course this took lot of time as she stitched each seam with great care but her wrap ped gifts were really something to behold
 Another woman, giving gift to friend whose hobby was sew ing, selected for her all sorts of sewing aids buttons, thread. pins. needles, snaps, tape measure, several short lengths of cloth, an apron pattern and scissors.
 She wrapped all of these in a two-yard length of red cloth. Santa Claus seals were used on the cloth the same as on paper and it was tied with green ribbon. Tiny red buttons were tied here and there among the ribbon streamers. The bow that topped the package was fashioned of skeins of red and green embroidery thread.
 Round packages are easily wrap ped by rolling them in cylinder form, allowing enough extra paper for the ends so that it may be fringed. Tie bow of ribbon at each end.
 Bows on packages for men should be flat and tailored
 Do the wrapping well ahead of time and you will have prettier wrapped gifts to present your friends.
