Always has something confidential| 'to tell, but is never in a position to come clean with the whole| story. He’s the busy body, who makes a whirlwind in a dust storm look like the surface of a lake on a calm Sunday morning. He'’s the “official fixer” who lays plans for his “master mind” in case a frameup is anticipated. Sure, you know hxm.i He darts into one door and out of the other. Up one stairs and down the other and tells the willing plotters that there’s some- thing doing, but never knows exactly what. | Sometimes he gets so busy that among th‘e plotters he be- comes known as the “pest,” but they need him in the business so} they water and feed him three times a day. He’s always on! hand and willing to go when they want him and where they need him. He’s better than a carrier in a department store, because! he don’t have to hang to the same wire all the time. | Why, of course, you have in mind such a “pest”” You know it's against the law to shoot him out of season and you! can’t feed him poison, without taking changes, put if you vyant‘ to exterminate him, just pin him to facts. Nail his gossipy lie tq the mat. Set him up in a corner and squeeze the-truth out of him. The chances are that if such application were applied sev- eral times in the same place, the pest might be fma}ly exter-| minated. At any rate, it won’t hurt to use such tactics, and it might do both the “‘pest” and society a world of good. 0 YOUR CHILD’S TEACHER i Do you know your child’s teacher? Have you ever called on her to discuss the progress or failure of your child? | She is your child’s best friend outside thg home. She is your partner in the business of bringing the chiid up to worthy citizenship. It is the duty of the parent to confer frequently with the child’s teacher, just as a good business man confers, often with his partners on the condition of the business. She should be visited at least once a month and consulted as to the child’s weaknesses and the methods whereby the parent can best co-operate in the work of the teachers. The good school and the good teacher welcome the co-operation of the helpful parent, but there is a difference between the helpful parent and the merely critical one. . Get acquainted with your child’s teacher. Become a friend of hers. You will learn much from her and she will learn much from you. It is not fair that the teacher should be obliged to bear the responsibility for the education of the child. Cyrus Northrup, president emeritus of our state university, once said: “Parents throw children into our public schools like clothes into a hamper and never look to see how they come out.”—Exchange. e e ANYWAY—A SPLENDID START There is support here and support there for various other planks—planks radical and planks conservative—but we think that on the whole, the following is what the majority of farmers AT THIS TIME want from congress: Amendment in interpreta- tion of the anti-trust laws which will make it legal for the farm- er to engage in collective marketing. Strengthening of the Fed- eral Farm Loan System. Interstate Commerce legislation mak-| with ocean outlets. Enactment of co-operative credit plans to! ing compulsory the honest advertising and labeling of woolen| fabrics, food and drugs. Development of inland waterways provide funds for farmers. National control for packers. Im- migration laws which will maintain American standards of citi-| zenship. Operation of air nitrate plant by government or lease for purpose of providing cheap fertilizer. The appropriation *of funds to permit Department of Agriculture to make studies of cost of production of farm products. Disapproval of any system which denies to the individual the right to work in any place where his industry is needed and at any wage which is satisfactory to him.—Exchange. i 0- Some men will spend hours in reading the sport pages ot the daily papers. But if they had to spend thirty minutes in reading the Bible they’d either go to sleep or want to charge overtime for their services. | 0 Foreigners come to this country with the popular idea that; America is a land flowing with milk and honey. It is, but they' soon learn that it requires something besides m. and h. to fill an| empty stomach. | . o | When. we all make a practice of studying local conditions| instead of complaining we’ll soon find them more to our liking.!

They can’t read lips in the dark. ! ——0- Family jars are not like those manufactured in a pottery. 1t is too difficult to keep the lid on. | 0 Latest reports from Ireland indicate-that the dove of peace has gone on a tear.

The Thrilling Tale of the Wonders of a Wonder Worker, Told in Monthly Install- ments by Kilo Watt, himself. P.S.—Don’t miss a single chapter _AST month, I, K. Watt, started to explain to the Housewives of the Country, who are the Man- agers of the Biggest Business in the World — HOUSE- KEEPING—something of my family history in explanation of my name and my qualifi- cations as a Servant. To con- tinue: During the early part of the Ninteenth Century, ex- periments with Electric Force were being carried on by many scientists, among whom was A. M. Ampere of France, whose contribution to My Present Power and Ability was so warmly re- garded as to cause his name to be used as a term, “Am- pere,” meaning: The rate of flow of elec- tricity through a wire; that - is, the amount passing thru per second, just as gallons per second, or cubic inches per second measure the rate of flow of water sent thru a pipe. At the same time James Watt, a Scotchman, was dis- covering and developing steam power and the steam engine. The Power or force produced by his steam engine and by electric force were compared and his last name therefore is used as an elec- trical term, “Watt,” .which is: v The power produced by a given number of amperes sent through a wire at a giv- en voltage, just as “horse power” is the measure of power produced by a given number of gallons or cubic inches of water per minute sent through a pipe at a giv-_ en pressure. Watts in turn may be measured in horse- power when the energy is - used for power purposes, or in candle-power when used for lighting purposes. Watts are measurable units of power or energy, just as “foot-pounds” are a measure of power or energy. One horsepower equals 746 watts, or 83,000 foot-pounds per minute. (A horsepower is the amount of energy re- quired to raise a weight of 33,000 pounds one foot from he ground in one minute.) Therefore, my last nane very plainly means a definite measure of Electrical Power, or Force, produced. under the conditions stated above. 1 will tell you Big Business People all about the rest of my name in my Next Talk to you.
