GETTING MORMON CONVERTS IN BROOKLYN
i wo pretty girls have been latei.v Ooiiig about the Ridgewood section of
Brooklyn, canvassing from doer to door fo' converts to the Morin on church.
The girls are Miss Gertrude Phelps of Saj> Lake City (left) and Miss Edna
Crowther of Mesa. Ariz. (right). They call at a home, make friends with the
woman of the house, call a few days later and begin talking Mormonism.
At the third visit the prospect is usually very receptive and the girls tell of
the “great benefits offered by the Mormon church," what it has accomplished
and expects to accomplish. A day or so lafdr an elder of the church calls
and tries to make the conversion complete.

DERIVATION OF WAR TERf*S
Interesting to Trace th» Origin of
Expressions Just New Very
Much in Use.
There is a certain romantic interest
in the consideration of the etymologi
cal history of war terms. In running
over the current expressions; as we
meet them in the daily newspapers, a
curious interchange of root and deriv
ative is shown, whereby we see that
nearly every nation has “taken pria
oner” in its own tongue an expression
which at one time or another was the
possession of a hostile, or at least
alien, nation. There are, of course,
some exceptions, notably in the case
of the word ‘'shrapnel,” which is not,
as might be supposed, a German word
at all, hut belongs rightfully to the
English, being the name of its in
ventor, a colonel in the British army.
Some words, like the word "war."
have been in a manner “'gentlemen
adventurers,” fighting under many
flags, and coming down to us through
the militant vocabularies of many na
tions. "War" itself began. It must be
confessed, in Germany in the guise of
the old Germanic noun “werra." It ap
peared subsequently In Spain and It
aly as "guerra," and in France aa
“kuerre."—Literary Digest

GOOD ROADS WILL PAY WELL
In Nine Years Increase in Amount
Paid for Improving Highways Has
Been Over 250 Per Cent.
(By E. B. HOUSE. Colorado Experiment
Station.;
The following is clipped from the
Reclamation Record:
Approximately 1206,000,000 was
spent last year on public roads in the
United States, according to statistics
prepared by the United States depart
ment of agriculture. In 1904 the total
was only $79,000,000. In nine years
therefore, the increase has been over
250 per cent.
Of the 2,226,842 miles or roads in
the United States. 223.774 mi’es, or ap
proximately 10 per cent are classed as
improved.
To improve the remaining 90 per
cent may well seem a big job. It is,
in fact, only made possible because
the work really pays for itself. From
material gathered by the United
Gravel Road.
States department of agriculture, it is
now possible to prove not only that
good roads are profitable Investments,
but to determine exactly what divi
dends they pay. An investigator as
signed to this problem in any given
locality first ascertains the extent of
the territory that is tributary to any
main road, much as one might ascer
tain the territory tributary to some
river. The next step is an accurate
estimate of the total products of this
territory—so much grain, so much to
bacco, so much garden truck, etc. Of
this quantity a certain portion is con
sumed on the farm; the rest is shipped
over the road in question.
The whole calculation can then be
checked by investigators at the ship
ping point to which the road leads. In
general it has been found that the
two methods yield much the same in
formation—the total amount of prod
uce hauled over the road. Next the
length of the average haul is calcu
lated, the size of the load permitted by
the character of the road ascertained,
and the cost of teams and drivers fig
ured. With these facts before him
the investigator is now able to .state
positively the cost of hauling a ton
of produce on that road, to express
in terms of these "ton-miles” the
freight traffic on the road, and finally
the total cost to the community served
by the road of hauling its goods to
market. Armed with these data it is
easy to decide how much money can
be profitably spent in improving the
road and what are the returns that the
investment yields to the community.
ADVANTAGES OF GOOD ROADS
Energy of Farmer’s Teams Conserved
by Pulling Heavy Loads Over Com
paratively Smooth Surface.
There is no doubt that pood roads
tend to prosperity to the farmers who
live on them. Their teams are not
worn out with the effort to pull a
light load over a bad road, for they
easily take a large one to market and
save not only the strength of the
team and wear of the wagon, but
what is of more importance still, the
time of the owner.
He gets his product to market more
cheaply and that item alone tends to
more prosperity. Then, too, the value
of his land is increased by the fact
that it is on a well-made and well
kept road, for the heaviest tax a farm
er pays is bad roads.
Everybody Benefited.
Good roads help not only the farmer
by enabling him to market his produce
when the market is highest but they
also help the merchant, the railroad
company—in fact, every individual in
the county is either directly or indi
rectly benefited.
Important Work.
The public highway and its im
provements is one of the important
things to take into consideration in
planning next year's work. Work on
the road along your farm is just as
important as work in the field.
Pigs After Weaning.
For pigs after weaning that have
the run of alfalfa nothing will help
them and satisfy them so well as a
good fill of slop made of shorts and
about one-tenth of cottonseed meal
Feed them some kafir or milo on the
side as dry grain so as to save some
of the expense of having to supply all
the concentrated food in the slop.
Records Help Farmers.
If farmers kept books there would
be a great many better ones than
there are today.
Discard Unprofitable Cows.
Discard the cow which has failed at
the end of the year to pay market
price for all the feed she has con
sumed.
Grapes for Wine.
Grapes intended for wine should be
left on the vines until thoroughly
ripened.
Neglected Practice.
Pruning is one of the most neglect
ed practices of good orchard manage
ment. '

HE GOT THE TWELVE CENTS
Pointed Argument of Old Colored Toll
Man Was Too Much for Mo
tor Tourists.
One of the pioneer manufacturers
of motor cars, is responsible for this
motor story.
“On one of the old turnpikes which
the motor tourist occasionally runs
across, a big touring car had twice
rushed through the gate without pay- j
lng toll. The third time they made
the attempt the old colored toll-man
shut the gate, and brought them to a
standstill The half-dozen occupants
of the large touring car were very in
dignant and declared emphatically
that they were entitled to ride free
“ ‘Look at your own board.' said the
driver, 'It reads. "Every carriage, cart
or wagon drawn by one beast, two
cents; every additional beast, two
cents.” ‘We're not drawn by any beast
at all.'
“ ‘No sah, but here's where ye come
in.' replied the old colored man, as he
pointed to another clause, which read:
‘Every half-dozen hogs, four cents,' and
he added. ‘An’ three times four is
twelve.'
‘‘The twelve cents was paid ”
Safety First.
In a certain valley down South
there was a physician noted for his
reckless automobile driving. One day
when he answered the telephone, a
woman's voice asked him if be were
going out driving that afternoon.
"No; I hardly think 1 will have time
this afternoon.” replied the doctor.
"But why do you ask?”
“Well, replied the anonymous ques
tioner, “I want to send my little daugh
ter downtown for some thread if you
are not.”
Wouldn't Pass.
“Did you stop in the employment
agency to get a cook?” asked Mrs
Crosslots.
“Yes.” replied her husband, very
gloomily.
“Eight of 'em locked me over and
decided that I wouldn't do.”

WHf CHILD IS
Many Things Which Are
of Irritability.
Wrong Diet or Ill-Fitting Shoes, Eye
Strain or Adenoids — Real
Trouble Is Hard to
Locate.
When adults are unusually irritable,
or when they are in a dark mood,
sympathetic friends think of nervous
ness or overwork, or they suggest in
digestion or lack of sleep as sufficient
explanation. When a child does not
behave as woll as we are accustomed
to expect we are likely to think he is
“naughty,” and wo sometimes throw
up our hands and exclaim:
“Whatever has got into that child?” j
In more recent times, since phvsi- i
cians and statisticians have shown us
just how far adenoid growths and eye
strain are responsible for mental
shortcomings and unsatisfactory con
duct, we are more inclined to suspect
a physical condition behind every- |
thing unusual in a child's behavior. ;
But most of us do not know where to
look or to recognize the trouble when
we see it.
A little boy who had a very cheer- |
ful disposition—most of the time—
gave his mother much concern and
all his relatives and neighbors much :
annoyance by having spells of whin- !
ing and sulking at irregular intervals. '
Sidonie Matzner Gruenberg writes in '
the New York Tribune. Sometimes
he would go for weeks without a
break, ana sometimes not more than
a few days. The family physician
had occasion to examine the child
during one of his spells, and found
that he was bilious. On making in
quiry into the child's diet and disposi
tion, the physician suggested that the ’
youngster might be unable to digest
eggs properly, and advised leaving
them out for a while and watching
developments. The suspicion was
well founded, and the change in
the diet restored to the child his us
ual happy disposition.
In another case one of a pair of
twins developed a most annoying case
of irritability and was becoming
“nasty,” when a careful study of his
digestion showed that milk did not
agree with him. Again a change of
diet brought about a most satisfying
change in his behavior and disposi
tion.
a Kinaergarien teacner was ais
turbed t>y the mother of one of her
children, who always attributed every
irregularity to some abnormality in
the child's health. The kindergarten
felt that the mother was demoraliz
ing tht child by her own attitude,
since she never required any effort or
exertion on the part of the little girl.
When the mother called for Lucy
one day the teacher complained that
Fhe had been naughty again—Inatten
tive and disobedient and as wicked
as a little girl in a kindergarten can
be—and added, “You cannot say that
her health had anything to do with it
this time!” But the mother happened
to know that the child had lost three
hours out of her sleep on account of
toothache This was something that
the kindergartner could not know be
forehand. and it was something that
would in most cases have a very de
cided effect on the child's behavior.
In the case of a boy who had an at

drugged to prevent a recurrence of

nine was having a marked effect upon
his disposition and the consequent be
havior. His periodic spells of

cipal to make an investigation, and
he satisfied himself that while the
medical treatment was preventing a
recurrence cff the malaria it was also
having its effect upon the child's

medicine and with close watch upon
his digestion and sleep the child s
health steadily improved and k s out
breaks became rarer and rarer
A few years ago every special case
that came before a physician or edu
cator led to a search for eyestrain
Then it was the fashion to look for
adenoids or glands. A little later de
fective teeth were suspected of be
ing the source of all the trouble
But the fact is that there is no one
thing that is the cause of all the
trouble.
The child’s body is a bundle of hun
dreds of physical elements, and any
one of them may bring about derange
ments in the orderly working of his
nervous system. It may be tne liver,
or it may be an intestinal parasite:
it may be lack of sleep, or it may ill
fitting shoes. Or it m-av be a combi
nation of several troubles.
It is useless to search for one
cause of all our troubles. We must
learn to know our children from as
many angles as possible, so as to be
able to survey the whole being for
the purpose of catching any irregu
larity as early as possible.
Getting Back at Him.
There lived in a certain county a
Mr. Crane, who had for a neighbor a
Mr. Fuller. Crane and Fuller were not
the best of friends, and scarcely ever
met without having a passage-at
arms.
Meeting one day. Fuller said:
“Crane, what is the difference be
tween a crane and a meadow hen?"
“Oh." replied Crane, 'there is a
great deal of difference. The meadow
hen is fuller in the body, and fuller in
the neck, and fuller in the breast —
in fact, it is fuller all over."

in the spring sold the pig for $17.50.
A neighbor askeu l.iin how much he
got for it, and when Pat told him, he

it, did you?”
“No," said Pat. "but you see I had
