At this time of year when farmers are dividing or purchasing hay in the stack it is handy to have a rule which is approximately correct for measur ing. The following rule is about as good as any. Measure the average width of the stack at the bottom, then throw the tape over the stack at an average place and measure from the ground on one side to the ground on the other, add this measurement to the width of the bottom, divide by four to get the actual square, multi ply the square numbej of feet by it self and then multiply by length of stack, divide the product by 500 for prairie hay when it has settled for about thirty days and the number ob tained will be the number of tons in the stack. The following is an example: Across the bottom . 12 ft. Over the top from base to base 24 ft. Total . 36 ft. Divided by 4 (sides) . 9 ft. Multiplied by itself . 9 ft. 81 which is the number of square feet in each running foot of the stack. If the stack is 20 feet long it will contain 1.620 cubic feet which, divided by 500 equals 3 tons and 120 cubic feet (not quite 314 tons). The Wilson admistration is doing some artful bidding for much-needed votes. Rushing through congress without debate or due consideration na 8-hour law for the benefit of a lot of railroad men was clearly a bid for the organized labor vote. The re moval of a part of the stamp act just at this time is a another bid. But about the silliest is Wilson’s sudden “conversion" to the cause of women suffrage just as soon as congress ad journed. These bids may win him votes in some quarters but they are sure to lose him many more than they gain. The organized trainmen may vote for him for putting through the eight-hour law law effecting them alone, but they cannot but despise him just the same, and there are hun dreds of thousands of other laborers, who are not benefited by this coward ly surrender. The^ and the great army of voters who will be taxed more than $100,000,000 annually to make up this sop to the railroad men. will be sure to vote against the man who pushed the measure through. All of us will be glad know that the irksome stamp act is removed, but no one will forget within two months that it was democracy that made the stamp act possible in the first place. Having stood aloof from natural wo man suffrage, the presirent’s sudden conversion will not fool very many women into voting for him. —Ord Quiz.

There are many people in this town you ought to know, tor your own sake. Some of them you may not know, but you should. You should know the banker. He is the one who supplies you with money when you need it, and cares for our money when yog have it. No town can conduct modern business without him. You should know each merchant. They have the goods you want, and if you know each one personally you also know something of the wares they sell. This enables you to buy judiciously and saves you many a lost penny. You should know the mechanic. Every time an improvement is made you must call him in. If you know them all you likewise know the one who is most likely to give you the best service. You should know the school teach er. He is responsible to a great de gree for the moulding of the character of your children, for the lessons they learn while under his care are not forgotten even unto the brink of the grave. Know him. and help him. You should- know the farmer. He holds the world in the hollow 6f his hand. To him we look for the pro duction of the sustenance of life, and without him we could not live. You should know the minister. He is interested in you, though you may give little thought to him. He does not supply you with the bread you eat, or the clothes you wear, but he does beckon you along the road to a better life beyond. 'Know him. and hear him, and heed him. And, brother, ou should know the sheriff. When the devil gets under ' your hide the sheriff is a good man to know. If you are inclined to kick up a little dust your knowledge of 1 him may cause you to pause before 1 you kick. Yes, brother, know the ! sheriff, for while you are a good citi zen he is your friend, and when you cease to be good he puts you where 1 you can be nothing but good. 1 Don’t sow too many wild oats while young.
