MULE HAS LOST PRIVILEGE Southern Paclflo Refuses to Furnish Private Car to Animal Who Used to Travel In Luxury. A bas le mule! The Southern Pacific says so. No more, says the San Francisco Chronicle, shall one mule arrogate to himself the daily use of a private car, thereby contributing to the car shortage. While all the world has been shout ing for cars it seems that one Fres no fanner has hit upon a scheme to keep a freight car continuously at his disposal. Every morning he shipped a carload of hay from Fres no to Floyd, nine miles distant Every evening the car came back to Fresno to be ready for the morning load of fodder. How did he do it, when othei shippers were plastering that cat with requisitions? It was easy. Every morning, after the hay was loaded, the farmer trotted his mule down to Floyd, loaded him into the car and shipped him back to Fresno. Thus the car was always his. The scheme worked for ten days and ten trips for the mule in the pri vate car. But it is no more. Southern Pacific headquarters found it out. From the Flood build ing went forth an order that the hay car should continue its journey after reaching Floyd, in order to give some other shipper a chance. And if the mule is offered as freight back to Fresno, ran the order, put him in 8 car with tinware or crockery. No more private cars for mules.

The bureau of standards has been experimenting to secure a means of overcoming the fogged glass which obscures the visiou of a chauffeur or motorman in rainy weather. Glyc erin properly used will overcome this difficulty. It has been used by locomotives engineers for years, but the bureau has thoroughly tested its efficacy with a view to recommending its wider use. The glass should be thoroughly cleaned and then rubbed with a cloth wet with glycerin. When the drops of water strike the coated glass they coalesce, forming a smooth, transparent film, which is no obstruction to vision. The uncoated glass becomes covered with separated drops, which completely befog the surface. DOING, NOT TALKING. That we can prove our faith by our works 1 no new thought, but at tbla season of the year whey, having turned a fresh page In our Uvea we point with pride to the many things we Intend to do during this year that is Just begin ning, It la well to. keep in mind the fact that we can accomplish far more by doing than by saying, says Charles ton News and. Courier. So many of ns for one reason and another pro crastinate entering upon the actual a compllHhineut of whatever task we iissuuie, but this procrastlnntlou does not prevent us from noising abroad the news of what we mean to do. Wt are quite likely on occasion to tell any body we may chance to meet the pluns we have made for the future; we Uilk about what we are going to do with a much confidence and even with as much pride us though we already had achieved succeful results. And then, because life Is so tmcertnln and he cause we do not make allowance for our plans vug tiritrny, we uwuken suddenly to the fart that we have only been talking und not doing, nnd that because we inlsned the golden moment when It was In our ml nil we have made our faith hut Idle words. If we mean to do something real and earnest In life, something that we hope will prove our worth and our ability,' we shall stand a fur better chance of success If we simply go to work with out advertising the fact far and wide. WEARING WRIST WATCH. Tou may weigh -UO, your nuiue may be Bill, and you may have a voice like a tuba, but you can wear a wrist watch without fear of any person properly addressing you as Reginald or Percy. In short the wrist watch Is no longer a sign of effeminacy when worn by menb says Washington Post. Some of the buHklest Americans of the day wear a timepiece strapped to the wrist when riding or. playing golf. Be coming accustomed to crooking the el bow to mark the time of day when oc cupied In sport, they find It easy to continue the wearing of the wrist watch when going about some serious affairs. The development of golf, more than any other one thing, has been responsible for the adoption of the wrist natch by men not In military service. The golfer who has his eye on the ball wants to be diverted from the Job ss little aa possible; yet he has to keep In mind the time that he Is due home for dinner. The easiest way to do It Is to wear a wrist watch. Such a watch may be bought for as little as $2.50, strap and all. There are tendencies of the age that every true mail should resist; not to overwhelm them, perhaps, but to confine them to their proper sphere. For Instance, the tendency toward amusements has gone mad. It Is all right within reason, but It goes be yond reason and holds Itself out as the main purpose In life. Many peo ple are not happy unless they are amused. They scarcely have room for a serious thought. The reality of the Ideal Is not Inside their compre hension. They abuse sports, shows, dances, cards, etc., by making them the end of life. ' Such a courte de stroys personality and the public spirit No man or woman who be lieves In true progress or bas a re spect for religion will train In that habit They will be positive for the right the good and the pure. The sin of the age Is the lack of noble Ideals and the fear of standing up for them. The great American peanut Is broad ening Its empire. The crop grows even faster than the peanut-eaters multiply. The demand which bulges at county fairs and bnaehull games and jogs ulong stefldlly In every town and ham let all the year through Is not equal to the increased supply. But the pea nut does not suffer. The oil Industry balances the score, says Cleveland Leader. The nuts the millions of peanut-eaters don't eat can be swallowed easily by the mills which make pea nut oil and peanut meal. The oil la a welcome and very good addition to the food supply of the country. The meal gets the same end less direct ly. Cattle and swine eat It and then tbey are eaten In turn. This year Texas alone expects to make about 00,000 bar rels of peanut oil. There will be 40, 000 tons of peanut meal as a side prod uct. These figures will doubtless be far surpassed before long. Ultimately a great deal of soap may be made In the United States, as It Is In France and other countries of Europe, with peanut oil as one of Its Ingredients. So the peanut Is not only holding Its own, but wldeulng its field of useful ness. It Is oue of the products of American agriculture which are as promising as they are popular. An official report upon the rise of prices In the various countries since the outbreak of the war, Issued In London, shows that In England It has been 68 per cent In the cost of food alone, for rents, which enter Into the cost of living to a very large degree, bave not risen. In Berlin the rise has been about 158 per cent, In Austria 178 per cent In the Scandinavian states about 54 per cent In Australia 30.5 per cent, In New Zealand 10.3 per cent while In Canada the rise has been only 18 per cent. The very great rise In Germany and Austria la attrib uted to flooding the country with a vast amount of paper money. There was no report on the rise in prices la the United States, remarks Omaha World-Herald, but the ordinary wage worker is Inclined to Insist that It If about 500 per cent News comes from London thnt city bred girls enlisted in the bnck-to-the soil movement have proved failures. They liked the romance of the coun try, but balked at the work. This la where the adaptability of (he Ameri can girls would prove them superior in tat like experiment The latter would enjoy the romance the more for the pluck with which they refuse to be daunted by the work. The considerably elevated financial schedule required In connection with the maintenance of human life In this, and other sections of the planet has I struck the Texas Jack-rabbit hither-j to hunted only spasmodically, but who now Is to be manufactured, In large' numbers, Into sausage. NEVER HARD TO FIND FAULT But No One Who Has the Unfortunate Habit Ever Found Himself Ex tremely Popular. It is much easier to pick fault with others than to be correct your self. It is better to be forbearing. No one likes others to be exacting of him about every little mistake or folly, lie 1 not so to others. Bo ready to overlook small things, to make allowanced. Because you can do this or that or live so or so, it is not to be expected that everyone can do or be the same. Though you may think your way the best, someone else may have just as good ideas or better. Who made you judge that you can make laws for all? Do you want to toe the mark of another's making? If not, do not expect others to come up to your line. Live your own life the best you can and while you try to help, leave the lives of others to their creator for judgment A habit of dictating grows on one. It is better to watch out and stop yourself before you begin. If it is part 'of your business to direct others, do so in the right spirit, with a respect to their rights and your own solf-rcspcct Nagging is belittling to yourself and does harm, not good. It improves or reforms no one.' A habit of find ing fault renders one disagreeable. Make criticisms and suggestions with great care. Seek what you can commend and emphasize that Mil waukee Journal. HAVE SENSE OF DIRECTION Feathered Creatures' Ability to Know . Their Whereabouts Given an Explanation. Prof. K. S. Lash ley has completed an investigation of the sense of di rection in birds. This is called the problem of "orientation." To "ori ent" means in straight English -to know where you are. Doctor Lashley used the wild bird of the Florida keys, known as noddy and sooty terns, in experiments. In their recognition of their nests, it was found that their eyes as well as their muscles are concerned, says Popular Science. The birds showed no evidence of any special sense of locality such as a "magnetic sense" or a "second sight" Birds are no more "mind readers" than men are. Nor do they have any ability, to retrace their paths of flight by mem ory. They recognize their nests and their own young by muscle habits and eyesight Dr. F. A. McDermoth, another investigator,, has observed the oddi ties in the behavior of houseflies. They have a strong tendency to go with air currents between 80 and 100 degrees. This explains why flies are so bad in hot weather, when it is about to rain. The heat usually ranges toward 100, and the air trav els along too slowly to cause the va por in it to evaporate. The heat, humidity and slw movement of the air give the housefly its "fly time." As pests, they are then in their glory. OXYGEN FOR WOUNDS. One of .the newest therapeutic measures developed in the European ' war hospitals is the healing of deep and obstinate wounds by oxygen. It is introduced into an electrical ma-' chine, which converts it into ozone, j A fine tube running from the ma-' chine to the wound conducts a con tinuous flow into the most remote crevice of the wound. The ozone not only heals the' wound quickly but eliminates the use of bandages and surgical dressings, which frequently cause the greatest pain. Obstinate wounds which have refused to heal, for months have been quickly im proved by the introduction of ozone. OH, OF COURSE. "White," remarked the temperance worker, "is the emblem of purity and innocence." "That explains it," said the mot-ter-of-fact co-worker. , "Explains what?" asked the first worker. "Why bartenders always weal white coats," replied worker No. 2. COMPARATIVE METHODS. First Boy My dog licks every thing with his tongue. Second Ditto .Mine licks every thing with his teeth.
