ed to plant oats and corn where

must be careful," says Secretary
Pattan, of the Pennsylvania De
partment of Agriculture, "not to
encroach too much on the pastur
age and hay lands, required for
live Btock production;" and he
urges farmers to keep all breed
ing ewes with a view of bringing
about the largest clip of wool the
state has ever known.
Knowledge aud Success.
A taking style of advertising of
which one sees a good deal in the
magazines just now, urges the
idea that if u man wants to sue
in lilV, he must know more.
Tim reader is told that if he will
buy this or that encyclopaedia,
dictionary, or other publication,
it will so broaden his general in
telligence that he will win a
greater business success.
It is a striking commentary on
our materialistic ideals, that peo
ple who have books of wisdom to
sell feel that they must show that
it will help people make more
money. There was a time when
knowledge was considered an
end in itself, which paid as you
went along regardless whether
you got any richer or not.
However, there is in the busi
ness world a very distinct value
placed on general information.
Many a man who has good ability
feels helpless and hopeless when
he gets among men of good edu
cation. But it does not necessa
rily follow that you can give an
impression of intelligence and
culture merely by buying this or
that reference book and consult
ing it frequently. The man who
is constantly firing general in
formation at his social acquaint
ances is a dull bore.
A thorough familiarity with
what is going on in the world is
quite as valuable as a business
asset. If a man will faithfully
read a few good newspapers and
magazines, he will see the dif
ference in his command of his
own resources. Let him read
thoughtful editorials, congres
sionaland legislative debates, war
and business news, and he will
store his mind with interesting
things.
Then when people drop chance
remarks about public matters, he
will be able to make some real
contribntion to the conversation.
And a man who can talk intelli
gently on any general topic never
lacks friends. People- like to
make the acquaintance of a per
son like that, and if he comes to
them on business, they receive
him with pleasure. It pays in all
kinds of ways.

Money Making in Food.
A retail grocer was telling a
feV days ago about the oppor
tunities to make money on the
present high food prices. But
he insisted that the small grocer
with only a little capital is get
ting nothing out of it. He has
to buy from hand to mouth and
can't get any higher price than
what he paid, plus the bare ex
penses of doing business.
But according to him the
wholesale grocer is reaping a
harvest He quoted one jobber
in a moderate sized city who he
said had cleaned up $400,000 pro
fit in one year. This man had
not been doing any tremendous
business only he did have a large
stock of canned goods that doubl
ed in price.
That gave him a reserve on
which he could undertake large
operations. On many of his deals
there was practically no money
passed until he gathered in his
handsome profit. All he had to
do was to give his I. O. U., and
the goods bought on credit kept
going up.
The action of food distributors
in charging whatever they can
collect seems pretty grasping. It
is probably true that most people
would not hesitate to do it. But
the bulge in prices that is mak
ing one man rich, 'is grinding the
face of the poor. The wholesaler
with his $400,000 should have
some sensitiveness to the welfare
of the people at large. Heshuld
feel a little squeamish as he
thinks of the price in human
effort and privation that has been
paid in order that he may enjoy
his new fortune.
The people of this country will
not tolerate indefinitely the mak
ing of these fortunes out of the
extremity of the poor. Some way
will be found in which to stop
these unlimited profits. Food
dealers w ill be wise, not to ag
gravate public sentiment too far.
If they don't want a govern
ment inspector poking into all.
their private accounts, and a fed
eral commission limiting the
prices they can ask, they will do
well to moderate their demands.

Milton Shadle, near Knobsville,

Dow to Bang a Flag Properly.
Just now when the Stars and
Stripes are very much in eviden
ce, it may be well to know that
there is a right and a wrong way
to hang a flag.' On the wall of a
house, the starry field should be
to the left hand of any one di
rectly facing the flag.
Hanging lengthwise, from a
rope stretched across the street,
the position of the field' depends
upon the direction of the street.
On streets running east and west
the blue field should be to the
north; on streets running north
and south, the field should be to
the east.
In regard to the hanging of
bunting, the red stripe should be
at the top.
