YOUB BEAD! WOEK Among business men and enp- -neers there Is an Increasing tenden- cy to work at night. Not many ; years aeo It was the custom -except j among lawyers to "leave business behind at the office" and forget it as much as possible during the evening, But now it's a common sight to see men in all sorts of industries and I . ,, fe e r documents and blueprints Int0 jleather portfolios and Boston bags when they leave the office for home, . j 4a In other words, the notion is sproading that the brain functions better at night. This is an ancient belief among writers. The later, the better. Many prefer the hours after midnight. Does the brain really function bet ter after the sun goes down and darkness blankets the earth? This interesting answer suggests itself: Thought may be a definite force generated in the brain and broadcast into space like radio concerts. In support of this theory, people who are highly organized nervously be come uncomfortable in large crowds, as if they are delicate receivers of broadcast thought. Another illustration rises from memory. Examination day in the high school. Several hundred stu dents scowling and cudgeling their brains intently. The teacher in charge of the room, watching for cheats, develops a severe headache after an hour or so, and h03 to be re lieved. She appears to be nervously shell shocked by the thousands - of thoughts darting about the room. Thought unquestionably is a force. The only argument is whether it vi brates out into space or remains locked within the skull. If the thought-force really vi brates from the thinker and out into space the air must" be charged with countless millions of these vibrations during daytime. Late at night, most people are asleep and their mental broadcasting stations are shut down mntil morning. If so, we have the explanation lf why people think faster and more clearly at night. There is less inter ference, concentration is easier just as radio becomes best after mid night when few stations are operat ing. 11 this Ms speculation, of couree. But, after all, speculation is the clos est we haveso far.been abje J. get to the real nature of the great mys tery, human thought. We know that we think, but we know not how. -:o: AUTO UPKEEP It costs five and a third cents a mile to own and operate a popular priced auto. This is shown by an ex tensive check-up of three of the cheaper makes of cars, according to the Wall Street Journal. Five and a third cents is the av erage figure. Some cost more, oth ers less. Depends a lot on the driv er and the care devoted to the car. How does the record of your own bus tally with the average? In mak ing comparisons, you'll note to drive even a cheap car costs about twice as much as a trip by railroad. Street cars give much cheaper service. But the auto driver has the satisfaction of ownership, privacy and the pleas ure of going wherever he desires in stead of following steel tracks. The average family drives a car 5,000 miles a year or about 14 miles a day, the investigators decided. It's estimated that $266 a year ($5.11 a week) operates the family bus and provides money for its replacement by a new car at the end of seven years. The investigators figured gasoline at 20 cents a gallon, 20 miles to a gallon, or $50 a year. Oil at 20 cents a quart, 250 miles to a quart, or $4 a year. Tires $60 a set for $15,000 miles, or 20 a year. Repairs, striking a seven-year av erage, $50 a year. Insurance against fire and theft, $15 a year. Depreciation is estimated as being one-seventh of the original cost each year, or $55. Garage rent is entered at $72 a year. This Is the largest single item of costs of operation and owership. The "cost per mile" is dropping each year, the Wall 8treet Journal claims. It quotes auto engineers as predicting that before long all cheap cars will be stored "in the open" and a large part Of the item of ga rage tent eliminated. Five dollars or so a week for run ning a car doesn't seem much in these days when a dollar is worth only 60 cents buying power com pared with what it brought before the war. But if any one had pre dicted such an expenditure 20 years or more ago, the average person would have gazed reflectively in the direction of the poorhouse. The use of autos isn't Increasing as fast as the misuse of autos. i- ; i niiiii uuiiLnu iiuilu , Copy for this Department 4. furnished by County Agent .j.

The delegates from east half of the county will meet at Nehawka and have their first lesson on "Home Care of the Sick." What Variety of Sweet Clover? "Shall I use the yellow or white blossom sweet clover?" is a question asked by many who are trying sweet clover for the first time. There is a difference of opinion among farmers as to which variety is best. The two most import? nt uses of sweet clover are as a soil builder and as a pasture plant, preferably as a supplement to native pasture. According to the U. S. Deportment of Agriculture, the root development of the white blos som variety is greater than that of the yellow blossom variety. There fore, for soil building purposes, the white blossom variety is probably to be preferred. The yellow blossom varisty is smaller, less upright and more coarse than the white blossom sort and is therefore preferred by many for pasture. Sweet clover has not proven to be particularly adapt ed for hay as it is rather hard to cure and mowing may kill the crop. This' is especially true of its second year's growth. For average farm! conditions, either the white or yellow variety will prove satisfactory. Sweet clover is the leading crop that we have from the standpoint of getting stands on poor, rundown soil and putting it back quickly into a good state of tilth and fertility.
