down as a fact that if she flirts

she will soon have no others for

justly it may be, there will al

who are not above making ac
quaintances in this way are not
as pure in heart and mind as they
ought to be. It would be unjust
to say no pure minded girls ilirt.
They do and many ot them lose
their purity by so doing. Others
though not so unfortunate, sub

Farmer Leagues For Business.
Tho report of A. W. Thackara,
United States Consul-General at
Merlin, on farmer leagues in Gcr
many, just issued by the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor at
Washington, should prove of
great interest and value to Amen
can agriculturists.
There are in Germany 23,505
farmers' societies or unions form
ed for mutual aid, with a total
membership of 1,970,619. . These
societies have been combined in
to two great national organiza
tions, the Imperial Agricultural
Organization and the General Ag
ricultural Organization. These
two central organizations are
united for administrative pur
poses. At the last report of the Imper
ialOrganization.it embraced 07
circuit unions, made up of 18,333
societies, with a membership of
1,575,000. These local societies
comprised 12,581 sivings and
loan societies, 2,129 co-operative
purchasing societies, 1,900 dairy
societies and 1,591 societies devot
ed to various other objects.
The General Organization is
made up mostly of savings and
loan societies. The total num
ber of societies is 5,172, of which
4,393 are savings and loan socie
ties, the other groups being devot
ed to various purposes correspond
ing to the classification in the lm
perial Organization.
The total assets of the savings
and loan societies in both the Im
perial and the General Organiza
tions is, in round numbers, $485,
000,000.
Next in importance to the sav
ings and loan societies, is the
group known as the Co opeiative
Purchasing Society, made up of
more than 2,000 local societies
with a membership of over 225,-
000 for the co-operative purchase
of supplies.
Third in importance is the
group of dairy societies compris
ing 1,719 local dairy societies with
a membership of 178,132. The
businass of these societies is the
co-operative sale ot dairy products.
Besides these two great organ
lzitions of farmers in Germany
there are two others, one for the
technical advancement of agricul
ture and the other for the pro
tection of the political interests
of the farmer.
In closing his report Consul-
General Thackara quotes an em
inent economist as saying that
the significance of the agricutural
unions in Germany, lies in their
successful advocacy of honest
business dealing, In their insist
ency on casn payments and on
economy in operating expenses,
in their struggle against usury
and deception, in the business
and moral training they give and
in tho happy combination of pro
gressive principles and brotherly
sympathy which they stimulate.

Letter to John P. Sipes,
. McConnellsburg, Pa.
- Doar Sir: One of the ways to
get rich is to make a quarter look
like thirty cents.
There's a better: make it thir
ty cents. It has this advantage:
one keeps out of jail.
There are 200 paint manufac
turers making quarters look like
30, 40, 50, 00 cents, and all the
odd cents between. Tnat is,
their "paints"' profess to be
paint-:; and they are, in about the
proportions named. They get
30 to GO cents for' a quarter's
worth; some get 75.
There's a better way to paint:
Devoe. There are eight honest
paints. By "honest," we mean
not adulterated and full measure
These honest ones differ; no two
tre alike. In one, the quarter is
worth 27 or 28 cents; in another,
30 cents; there must be a best
oue in eight; it is the one that
takes least gallons to cover a pb
Devoe. To cover; that seems a light
way to speak of a paint. No, it
isn't. That is what paint is for:
to cover. It means to hide and
protect. The paint that goes
furthest is best, wears longest.
Go far is all; and Devoe is the go-
far painty
Yours truly
G8 F. W. Devoe & Co.

Lyrfsburg; J. A. Boyd, Mercers
