WHAT BIG MEN THINK.
Noting the end of the first quarter
of the twentieth century a well
known press service sought the views
of a number of leading men on the
significance to humanity of these
twenty five years just passed. Three
of the replies received are of parti-
cular interest.

• Henry Ford, in his prime at 63,
points out the gains which have been
made by the application of engineer-
ing methods to social problems,.where-
by most of the luxuries of lite have
been made accessible to all. He notes
that not only have the standards of
life been elevated, but the business of
supplying ■ the needs of thte new stan-
dard has increased the ability of all
to maintain it.
Luther Burbank, the wizard of the
plant world, nearing 77, with 6,000
experiments under way, asserts that
the past quarter century has been
the most wonderful in history, but
not so wonderful as the next will be
in the discovery and application of
science to our everyday life. Me-
chanical power will more and more
do the work of human hands, giving
us mere time for thought, whereby
the minds of men may be emancipat-
ed from the superstition, bigotry and
fear which have been our heritage
from the past.
So, in spite of all the pessimism
we may hear from various quarters,
we may take comfort from the fact
that three such eminent and experi-
enced citizens feel that this is
pretty good old world after all.

Innocence 1
Just before the polo match one of
the players was talking to a lady
friend who sat in the enclosure.
“Have ynu c er seen a polo match
before?” he inquired.
“No, never,” she replied, “but I'm
sure I shall enjoy it, and I wish you’d -
hurry up and begin, for I’m just dying [
’ to’ see those beautiful ponies kick the
ball about.”
“Lamb Bites Wolf” would be an un-
usual headline, but one entirely ap-
propriate to a recent dispatch* from
Duluth, which said: “George Lamb
was fined for biting Morris Wolf dur-
ing a-fight over a bottle of whiskey.”

The Importance of the. sunflower was
first urged by Dominion government
agricultural experts, who stressed'its
value for silage purposes. .Farmers
began to plant small fields, and found
the experiment profitable.
Expansion has lately been so rapid
that last yeaf Alberta alone produced
a crop of nearly 200,000 tons, at a
cost which, in view of the food,value
of the plant,, is''declared to be the
cheapest silage or foddep crop yet
raised. Farmers report that live stock

Much was heard of tainted money
a few years ago, but we now have a

cannon from the fortress of Luxem-

were again melted for remoulding in-
to * artillery. Now the congregation
refuses to use cannon metal for a set
of chimes and new bells have been
ordered to be made of metal free
from the taint of war. < I

Restoring Books
Books that have lain long in a
damp place and acquired a musty
smell should be thoroughly aired and
exposed to the sunlight for several
days. This should arrest the odor.
Mildew may be checked by brushing
over .the books, with spirits of wine or
a few drops of essential oil, such as
oil of cloves, applied with a soft
cloth. The books should be dusted fre-
quently.
it appears that the old saying, “you
can’t eat your cake and have it,” has
been proven false in one phase of our
economic life, at least.
This phenomenon is
building of good roads,
pretty conclusively demonstrated that
on any highway with an even mode-
rate amount of traffic the cost of a
paved road may be saved within a
few years through reduced expendi-
tures for vehicles and gasoline.
Owing to the greatly increased
cost of tires and the threatened rise
in the price of gasoline, this will pos-
sibly be true to an even greater de-
gree in the near future.
The device of buildin roads thru
the special gasoline tax has met with
general acceptance and the indica-
tions are that its application will be
further extended. In those l. '
where all of the gasoline tax is spent
upon the roads there is little
plaint. To spend it in any other
is manifestly unfair
tory.
But, however the funds ; ‘ *
provided they are judiciously and ec-
onomically expended, the people come! we have derided to raise
very nearly getting their good roads
free in the long run.

While a motor omnibus was proceed-
ing along a road through a dense jun-
gle in Ceylon, the driver noticed a herd
of wild elephants a short distance
ahead.
Thinking to scare them off. a pas-
senger in the omnibus took a shot at
the leader. The bullet grazed its back,
whereupon it bellowed loudly and
charged the omnibus, followed by the
rest of the herd.
The passengers dived beneath the
seats, but the driver stuck to his post
and accelerated steering the car
straight nt the leading elephant. As
he approached, he swerved past the
animal.

Sales of American agricultural im-
plements to foreign countries in the
first eleven months of 1925 were
higher than in any year since 1920.
According to the Agricultural Imple-
ments Division of the Department of
Commerce the total value of farm-
ing machinery exports up through
November amounted to $70,461,000.
This is an increase of approximately
$12,000,000 over the same period in
1924. Approximately 33 per cent of
(last year’s total sales consisted of
{tractors. Close to 41,000 American
tractors were shipped abroad last
'year in eleven months, or a 100 per
cent increase in number and value of
tractors exported in the correspond-
ing period of 1924.

T TF.RE’S a tip to .home builders. No need to plan for
XT “servants’ quarters.” Nowadays there’s a servant
that fits within the walls, a cheaper and better servant
than ever before, a servant just as helpful as you will let
it be. We call this marvel, electricity.
Electricity saves space, saves time, saves labor, saves
money. It serves you over wires that run under your
floors and through your walls. It is on the job day and
night, as much or as little of it as you want.
Put this willing servant to work—but give him a chance
to do his best work. See that the outlets and switches
which go into your home are conveniently placed, so that
you will have plenty of light and plenty of power, to-), for
your hardest tasks.
Talk this over with us. Let us show you how to hire
this modern servant—and how’-'to make him 100 per cent
efficient.
Tell your contractor that you want sufficient con-
venience plugs in the next home you build, k n’t
necessary to wait until you build a new home, for your
electric contractor can install these outlets in your home
at a small cost. Ask him to tell you—you will be sur-
prised at the low v^st.
