Scratch Your Headand Wonder That is, if it is not perfectly plain that it is rust and rot that are putting your valuable implements in the scrap heap much faster than the use you give them. What’s the use?) Why not make up your mind to buy a few boards the very next time you come to town, and build sheds for every machine on the place? Decent care for your machines will save you many times the price of new sheds. But whatever it is that you want lumber for, re- member, if you want the best—here’s where to get it. LET US QUOTE YOU.

He finds it costs less, too. The good tobacco taste lasts so much longer he doesn’t need to have a fresh chew nearly as often. Any man who uses the Real Tobacco Chew will tell you that.

Groan and there'll be a chorus, smile and you make no hit; for we’ve grown long hair and we preach despair, and show you a daily fit. Spend and the gang will cheer you, save and you have no friends; for we throw our bucks to birds and ducks and borrow from all who'll lend. Knock and you'll be a winner, boost and you'll be a frost; for the old sane ways of the prewar days are now from the program lost. Strike and the world strikes with you work and you work alone; for we'd rather yell and raise blue hell than strive for an honest bone. Rant and you are leader, toil and you are a nut; ’twas a bitter day when we pulled away | from the old-time work-day rut. Wait and there'll be a blowup, | watch and you'll see a slump, and the fads and crimes of these crazy times will go to the Na- tion’s dump.—New York Sun.

HOME OWNING VS. DIVORCE The contention that home | owning makes for good citizen- | ship and higher living ideals is corroborated by a recent study of divorce cases in Chicago, where out of 3577 suits for di- vorce filed in a recent year only seventy couples owned their jhomes. In 2,171 cases there | were no children. | Records show that in Chic- ago in 1919 there were 37,583 marriages and between 5,000 and 6,000 divorces, an increase in divorces of 20 per cent since 1911. The growth of the ap- | artment habit and extravagance jare given as two prominent causes for this increase. LIVES LOST IN THE WAR The total loss in actual and potential life through the great} war reached the astounding fig- ure of 35,320,000, according to an announcement by the Ameri- can Red Cross. The figures were collected by the Copen- hagen Society for Studying the Social Consequences of the War. They show: Killed in war, 9,819,- 000; deaths due to augmenta- tion of mortality, economic blockades and war to mobilization of 56,000,000 men, 20,200,000.
