Farmers arc said to be slow In tak­
ing up anything new. The nature of
their work makes them conservative.
By playing entirely safe they some­
times overlook advantages that would
result by being a little more venture­
some.
Inexpensive to Build and Modern
in Every Respect.
W e have had occasion recently to
visit a number of manufacturing phlnts
where Improved machinery was being
used. Every process in the factory
is carefully studied und if a machine
can he installed that will make a sav­
ing In hand work no expense is spared
to put in the machine. As a result,
manufacturing has made wonderful
progress during the last generation.
Agriculture has likewisie made some
very notable changes, such as, from
the sickle to the combined harvester
and from the small pony to the mod­
ern tractor. As noteworthy as these
advances have been, we believe that
our farmers coilld make Improvements

Indiana Man Hat No Further tiae for

Probably Jenkins la Ready, to Admit
That Glus Had Remarkably Qsod
Sticking Qualities.
An Indianapolis mnn whose work
keeps him In office all day long oc­
casionally finds recreation In doing
bits of odd Jobs in woodworking. Kor
three months he worked at spare
times, and as the spirit moved him,
at fashioning a Chinese pipe. Finally
lie finished the Job and took it to a
painter for the stains, filler and var­
nish. The painter did a good Job, and
the pipe was a beaaty to behold—two
feet long, brass knob and shaped
howl. It looked like a mandarin's fa­
vorite. He took the tiling home and
in a sort of a ceremonial rite filled it
with ids favorite tobacco, fired It up
and drank deeply of its dream stuff.
Deeply nnd drenm stuff is right, be­
cause about half an hour later he lay
«prnwied unconscious on the floor of
an upstairs hall until tils wife revived
him with cold towels. Now he knows
all about the effects of tilt* volatile
substances in paints and varnishes.
He also lias a beautiful Chinese pipe,
smoked once, hanging on the wall.
Jenkins, who had gone to the shop
that sold everything to make a few
purchase«, happened to notfee a sov-
ereign lying on the floor—a whole,
round, golden eagle.

excitement and
glancing cautiously round to see that
no one was watching him, he dropped
— quite accidentally,- of course—one a(
his gloves on top of the coUn. Then,
bending, he proceeded to pick up his
glove; but the coin' did not accompany
It. It remained where It was—apoc
the floor. He made a second attempt
to get hold of it, but with the same
result.
As he was con tempi at in g rille wte
