WORTH FAR MORE THAN GOLD Value of Good Credit Must Never Be Forgotten by the Community or Its Citizens. " The following little story has aroused “‘much interest pmong Kansas mer- chants and credit men. It was re- cently published iIn the bulletin of the Pittsburgh, Kan,, Merchants’ associa- tion, “I buy your grocerles, your dry goods, your home—everything you use or need. - “] am not money; I am its superior. I buy many times more than all the gold In the world. With me money may be bought. “I am the very basis upon which the business life of the world has been bullt, more 50 in modern times than ever before. “I am founded upon honesty, and bullt upon falth in mankind, and woe unto the man or woman who wilfully abuses me. “I have given men the means to be- come rich, means which nothing else could place within their reach. “I am, when rightly used, the greatest means of prosperity and happiness, but when abused, I have brought misery into the lives of men and women, “I am confidence placed in a man’s nbllity and reliabllity to meet his future obligations. “I am greater than Industry and capital, for T demand industry and capital of others on the strength of abllity and disposition to make my promises good. “I am good credit.” —From the Nation's Business. | GET AFTER THAT BACK YARD | One Unsightly, Neglected Place Will Spoil the Appearance of Other- wise Well.-Kept Street. Back yards are something big city dwellers long for and small town dwellers long to get rid of. But back yards are a geographical condition ; the yearning is about as close as a citylte -ever gets fo one, while the small townite finds It hard to dispense with for want of something to take | its place. % A back yard in some seasons of the year is not exactly an object of beauty. Pajntless fences are in a more or less acute state of unrepair, tin cans, old shoes and worn out brooms have some- how eluded the garbage can. ‘Why not get busy and give the back yard a thorough house-cleaning? The exercise will do you good, and the neighbors will rise up and acclaim you. —Montreal Family Herald. Oklahoma Club Members Feel at Home. Even at home, “the little plece of home” taken overseas by the Y. W. C. A. for our boys, comes in handy. Out in Oklahoma in building a club- house, Lock Sanders post, No. 59. of the Legion has decided that it will borrow the plans of the Y. W. C. A. hostess house. In camps and over- seas It met such a need that now, back In their home town, Hugo, Okla., the boys are bullding one for them- selves. So interested has the whole town become in the scheme that every- one is helping. Citizens are buying boards at one dollar aplece and paint- ers and carpenters are donating a day’s work. The plot has been given by the city. The structure will contain an auditorium with a seating capacity of 200, a reading and writing room and an office, all on familiar lines. To meet the demands, the national board, Y. W. C. A, 600 Lexington ave- nue, New York city, offers to share with other Legion posts or communi- tles a plan for a delightful clubhouse.

THE PIONEER WANT ADS K BRING RESULTS Steeds Hired by the Hour Good Judges of Distance, According to This Stable Manager. A rider needs a strong hand and a firm seat to ride the hired horses of a certain suburban riding academy when he attempts to go beyond an hour’s distance from the stable, according to the New York Sun. The rates are 5 for two hours, and the horses have be- come 80 accustomed to going one hour out and one bdck that when the first hour iz'réached and the rider does not turn&qbk inslsts upon' doing 1t for bim. Beyond this first hour, if the rider’ still” wishes ‘mistakenly or extrava- gantly to ride still farther away frony the. stable, he Wwill have to fight his horse every twenty-ive or thirty yards as the horse attempts to turn back, and there will be no further joy in the ride.' If he complains to the manager of the stable, the manager will be politely ‘Tegretful If the rider Is a stranger, or he will tell him the honest truth if the rider Is an old acqualn- tance. “f get so . many Iinexperienced riders,” the manager will tell you, “gand they have no sense of direction and keep no track of the time, and it 1t were not for the good sense of! the horses the riders would either lose’ themselves in the countryside or would perhaps realize at some point that their limit was nearly up and then wouli coma thundering in with winded and steaming horses. “These horses manage the ride them- selves and the riders have very little to do with it,” said the stable manager, “and {n that way they protect the riders; ‘they ‘Drotect themselves and they protect me.” HIS PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL Wise Willie, Forbidden Trip to Cool River, Found Substitution That Answered the Purpose. On certaln occasions Willle takes his mother’s - instructions literally, while other times he doesn’t. When Willie's mother told him that she did not want him to leave the building all afternoon because he had disobeyed her by going swimming in the river on the day previous, Willie carried out his mother’s instructions to the letter. He did not leave the building all afternoon. When Willie’s mother arrived home from her shopping tour late in the day, however, she was sur- prised to find that her son’s hair was wet., «I hope you didn’t disobey me and go in the river again” said his mother. “Nope,” Willle replied. “Then how dld you get your hair wet?” his mother asked. “Swimming,” Willie replied. «Swimming?” gasped his mother. “I told you not to leave this building. Now you will go to bed without any supper.” [ didn’t leave the bullding,” Willle insisted. “How could you go swimming without leaving the building?” said his mother. “There’s no place to swim in this apartment house.” wAin't there, though?’ asked the youngster. “Did you ever try the wa- ter tank on the roof?’—New York Sun, Elephants Rald Rallway Station. We are used to stories of how an elephant occasionally upsets a circus but it Is rare we hear of an orgy of destruction like that which occurred in the Malay peninsula. A herd of wild elephants attacked a railway station, pulling down the station- master’s kitchen and bathroom. They did the same to the clerk’s quarters and then tackled the station while the office force looked on from trees. One elephant took off an automatic welgh- ing machine as a souvenir of the raid, but finding it heavy, threw it down on the track. One of the elephants trumpeted the recall and they all went back Into the jungle except one who fell in a well and had to be cut out by human aid, but was not detained.

Put It Up to the Teacher. { It was Jimmy's first day.in school and he appeared to be very much- in- terested and was very attentive to everything the teacher said. In one class the teacher asked Jimmy how many fingers he had. The little fel- low stuck out his fingers and said Grandmother was pleased that Ma- tilda should have attentions, and was very graclous to the manly beaus and admirers that came by turn; but when in the crowd of summer visitors there appeared in succession Willlam Little- she was Lewildered over the young woman’s predicament. “QOh, Matilda!” she exclaimed. “How do you manage more than one John- nie at a time? I never shall be able to tell which is Little, which is Pet- ty, and which is Up.

Saving Screw Shavings. Two thousand years seems a long time to wait for.an improvement, but this has been the case with the screw. Metal screws have been made since 236 B. C. The shank of the screw has, been turned from a bar of metal hav- ing the diamefer of the screw head, thus wasting A large; proportion of the metal by reducfng it to shavings. A certain’ screw manufacturer has decided to alter this. A metal bar, of the diameter ‘of the shank, is put into a matrix and subjected to enormous pressure. The head of the screw is thus expandéd in the confined com- partment, which gives it the desired shape. The only waste occurs io threading the screw and finishing the head.
