The chairman of the Court of Honor, thinking that the boy had slipped through most of his requirements without any real work, proceeded to cross-examine him as follows: “What did you do for your elec tricity merit badge?” “I wired my father's house.” replied Tompkins. "How did you earn your autoruo- blllng merit badge?" "I designed and built an automo bile." “How fast will It go?" "Forty-five to fifty miles an hour." "What did you paint for your paint ing merit badger' "I painted my father's house last spring." "You win,'* said the chairman. "Next" Of Big Interest to Fanner.

Lincoln belongs to the ages He was a man amoni men and all the world today recognise* his genius of character. Lincoln was self-taught. Instead of waiting for someone to pound knowledge Into him. he would walk miles to secure a book that he might pursue ’ha quest of knowledge which was a supreme passion with him throughout his lire. Lincoln Instinctively knew that knowl edge was the key that unlock» the door to fame and fortune, or any success that man desires. He went directly after knowledge to prepare himself so that when his chance came he would be ready. You may look handsomer than Lincoln; Cou may have more native strength than incoln; you may have an lutrllect that could easily be developed: but if you have not the burning desire to develop yourself, you are certain to stick In the mud-sock class. Knowledge Is distinctly a matter of In clination. If you do not secure knowledge you are Just as certain to suffer for your lack of development In a mental way as you would certainly deteriorate physically if you laid In bed all the time and would neglect to develop your muscles. Lazi ness leads to pain and failure. If you In sist on being lazy, the law of compensa tion will force you to pay compound In terest for your Idleness. You will be whipped and scourged and made to do the meanest work of the world. The hard laws of necessity are su-* to overtake you. You must eat and people will Insist tha^ you earn what you eat. The whip of necessity will beat your bleeding back and the sharp tongue of a heartless world will tear to shreds your sensibilities. When you are stretched on the cross of neces sity. people of this world will crown you with thorns and drive Into your flesh, nails expressing their scorn. Lincoln knew that the world will never forgive failure. Logically he equipped himself to succeed and he did succeed. You. too, can succeed, but you must pre pare yourself for the battle of life. The greatest asset in life is a strong character and the ability to express your self. If you are dumb as a dog you will receive the reward of a dog. the crumbs from some rich man's table, who under stands the way to express himself. The great mass of men have made no effort to develop themselves Nearly all are capeble of Infinite development but they do not realise It. They are paralyzed by the thought that they are inferior when In reality the only difference be tween a successful man and themselves Is development. They could easily grow If they would get busy and develop themselves as Lin coln and other great men have done. Tou do not have to be a super-man or a giant of Intellect but you do have to be just a little better than the average to be selected to occupy - soot of honor and ease where you will work lees and get more. If you simply develow the stiff back of a jack-ass and the physical strength of a mule you will naturally be paid for brute strength and nothing mote, because that Is all your equipment will enable you to render In doing the work of the world. Lincoln wisely learned to talk convinc ingly. We are offering Dr. Frederick Houk Law's course on "Mastery of Speech," which will quickly develop your ability to express yourself effectively. The good talker, you have noticed. Is the fellow who gets In the lead every time. e Dr. Frederick Houk Law, of Oxford Academy, Amherst College, and Brown ing University, holding the degrees of A.

Six miles of telegraph cable was laid and put into service in Sweden in Just eight minutes. The trick was done by stretching the cable from an airplane. Of the time consumed, six minutes was spent in flying, and the other two in making connections. Thus the cable was laid at the rate of a mile a minute. SIMPLE METHOD TO DEHORN Lincoln vs. You PRESSED, Bet. Washington and Stark BRANCH STORES: A dairy cow will respond to good feeding and good treatment, perhaps better than any other farm animal. Es<*h Individual dairy cow should bo a unit by herself. Unlike other farm animals, dairy cows cannot be effi ciently fed in a feed lot, as the re quirements for each cow may be dif ferent. Tho best feed for dairy cows Is an abundance of pasture grass when that Is available. A good pasture pro vides a balanced ration. Korns high- producing cows will require a little grain as a supplement to pasture. During the time of the year when a good pasture Is not available, a cow can be fed efficiently by providing: L An abundance of palatable feed; 2, a balanced ration; 3, succulent feed; 4, a moderute ten»’~orn’"re In barn; 5, comfortable surround.ugs. A dairy cow is fed for the follow ing purposes: 1, For maintaining the body; 2, to supply material for milk. 3, for development qf fetus; 4, for growth of animal, if Immature; 5, at times to produce gain In weight. Three general classes of .good ma terial are required for feeding cows: 1, Protein or nitrogenous material; 2, carbohydrates and fat to supply heat and energy; 3, ash or mineral matter. A well-balanced dairy ration will contain the above food material In the proper proportions. In making up n feed for dairy cows. It Is usually most convenient to balance the roughage and concentrates separately and then feed all the roughage each cow will eat snd adjust the grain mixture to the amount of milk or butterfat produced by the cow. A good general rule to use as a guide In feeding is to feed from one- fourth to one-half as much of s bal anced grain mixture per day as the cow gives milk per day. Cows giving rich milk usually give less per day, but need a little more grain In pro- portion to the mils.—A. C.
