But they'll have to rest easy, for the present, in the comfort that the new = hotel will be a blessing for the city, as there is no possi- hility of relief. It might be good to call their attention to the scriptural verse that brought comfort to the rheu- matic old lady. When the minister called, she revealed to him that but for her favorite verse in the Bible, she would not be able to hold out. When he inquired what verse it was, she replied: “The one that says ‘Grin and bear it! Mr. McAdoo says he would rather live in California than be president, and he wise. A fellow can live in California easily, but the other end of the proposition is dubious. s How About the Swatting? ROF.

While this brings joy to the stomachs of the egg-eating city folks, it is hard on the ranchers. And the rancher has long been carrying a full cargo of troubles. ' Undistarbed by market conditions, the faithful hen goes on doing her daily bit, with no thought of organizing a union. A Michigan man has discovered a way to extract alcohol from acorns. Soon we may see old soaks from little acorns grow. Making Us Grateful WEDEN builds museum-houses, showing exactly how people lived and worked centuries ago.

That’s all the “Century” can get out of a locomotive. After being speeded to the limit = for 135 miles the engine is exhausted and the train has to stop while a fresh engine is hooked on. The worn-out locomotive is left behind for repairs. “* This is a very clear-cut picture of modern life and the eway it “wears out” all of us. “© Our generation is almost insane in its desire for speed. _ © At every turn the average man encounters peopize or situ- *sations or system existing for the-sole purpose of speed- ing him up. In other words, the desire and purpose is to “burn him out” as fast as possible. Well, maybe that’s not the desire. But it’s the net result of the system. 4. Modern life is like the Twentieth Century Limntied. Of course, 100 years from now it will not make ahy differ- ‘ence whether the passengers arrived at destination ahead of time or a week behind it. But we're living now, not +100 years hence, and so we're all victims of the system. Business is a lemon squeezer. Get the juice, wet it fast, then throw the remains of the lemon away ana reach ‘for a new lemon. This system of taking a man and burning him up { puickty is as bad for his employer as for the man hims _ elf, because the available supply of men worth burning _ up is limited, the same as there is a limited supply of “*engines capable of hauling the Twentieth Century. “a ise employers, men with perspective, realize this, DEG I ATTLE TAR IONDAY 1924 A Busy Day in a Seattle | k f & rn Tax Makers With No Fact War are You doing THIS BENING MISS PeACHIREE? \ OonT Ske WHAT WR.

But Saturday I tumbled, as I rose and left the house. I went to work and mumbled, “Buy a present for the spouse,” And tho I had it spotted when at first I went away, I very soon forgot it in the bustle of the day e ‘That night I sald, “The devil! Once again it slipped my mind! 1 knew it—on tho level—but forgot it In the grind!” “That makes the evening pfeasant,” she replied without a blink, “If you had brought a present, I'd have known you had a drink!” feme time before the ember of my life has ebbed away, I hope that I'll remember her auspicious natal day. But thoeour wives adore them, birthdays seem a silly gauge—they never stop, to score them when they figure up their age! ° Ciritge Tamms ight courts in congested areas, and | eee Q.

Fur farming can be carried on to the best advantage in any |section of tho northern United | States, whero the winters are suffi- elently long to insure production of fine fur. A continuous low tempera- | ture should be maintained during ;the months of December, January, | February, and March. eee Q. How many acres are planted annually in the national foreste? A. Approximately 7,500 acres, eee Q. Can gas ve produced from straw? | A. Yes, gas produced from straw [can be used successfully for lght- ing and heating and for a motor fuel, but the indications are that the destructive distillation of straw } and similar material for gas on the | farm ia not practicable, as the cost is practically prohibitive and much | difficulty is encountered in tho op- eration of the plant.

A pound of turnips contains about 140 calories of energy, 4 | grams (about 1-7 ounce) of protein, | 0.2 gram of calcium, 0.14 gram of | Phosphorus, and 1.8 milligrams of \iron. It would, therefore, furnish 4 | per cent of the energy a man would | need daily, 4 per cent of the pro- | tein, 20 per cont of the calcium, 11 per-cent of the phosphorus, and 12 per cent of the iron, +e e Q.
