The Shape of an Apple Tree.
/ o»a typ* or bkn davts β ι vrs roui
TIMKS YIKLD or AHOTHXB.
Ια the work of the Maine Experiment
Station with the apple orchards at High·
moor Farm complete growth record·
have been kept of each tree. As time
goes on these data will give very valua
ble Information. ▲ study of tbe yield
ι records in three experimental plots
showed marked individual differences.
The recorded descriptions of these trees
, suggested differences in habit of growth
and a study In tbe orobard shows plainly
that tbe trees in this orchard may be
grouped into three main types. Each
type represents a definite oonformation
of tbe tree with reapect to the manner
in whicb the branches form the tree's
bead. No smount of pruning will
obaoge the shape which these branohee
take. It is something flrmly fixed In tbe
tree itself.
Tbe average apple yields of tbeee types
for 1018 were type I, 151.8 pounds per
tree, type II, β7 β pounds per tree, and
type III, 40.3 pounds per tree. Each
type I tree was oonsrquently of equal
value as far as apple yield was con
cerned to 3 8 type III trees. Or taken
in another way the dollars and cents
return from a type I tree was 3 8 times
as much as for the type III tree and 2 3
time· as much as for the type II tree.
These difference· in yield have been
eqnally as sharp cut during each of tbe
pa*t β years.
Tbe differences in tbe types of these
treee briefly summarized are: Tbe type
I tree ba· relatively few main or scaffold
limbs. From these main limbs arise
several secondary branches of less size
but likewise vigorous in growth. From
these secondary limbs arise numerous
tertiary branches witb many small side
branches each one of which is covered
with fruit spurs. The growth of this
type Is more rapid than is the growth of
tbe other type· of trees.
The type II tree bas scaffold limbs but
they are not as marked as in tbe type I.
Tbe secondary and tertiary branche·
while numerous are not so notioeable,
tend to go up straight in tbe air, and
have far less fruit spurs. Tbe growth
of this tree is not as rapid as is tbe
growth of type I.
Tbe type III tree has no pronounced
scaffold branches. The top is made op
of many long slender limbs going straight
op in tbe air. The fruit spurs are prin
cipally upon the tips of these branches.
The growth of this type is slow com
pared witb that of type I.
These trees were set long before High
moor Farm was purchased by tbe state
and tbe Maine Station bas no knowledge
of tbe source of the trees. But these
types are scattered through the orobard
so that even if the tree· were set In dif
ferent years and from different nuraeriee
tbe differeucee io type hold tor each lot.
Whether other varieties of apple trees
•bow this tendency to grow in these dif
ferent forms has not been studied. But
tbe point is a significant one for the
orchardist who may be thinking of top
grafting bis orobard. This is a concrete
illustration of tbe value of the insistence
that so many orcbardists have placed
upon selecting oions from heavy bearing
trees for top working. And It may be
that only clans from branches of the
fruit bearing type should be used. If
one is buying new trees obviously stock
grafted witb a tree of the type I sort
should be had if possible. Even in the
case of a nurseryman who is very con
scientious as to selling only trees of
known variety, he may not have exer
cised care and judgment In the selection
of the tree and parts of the tree from
which be takes bis cions for grafting.
The six years trials of these types at
Higbmoor Farm make the differences
almost in the ratio· of four, two and one.
As a crop producer and money yielder
one type I tree is about as valuable as
two type II trees or four type III trees.—
Cbaa. D. Woods, Director.
Lifting Up the Farmers.
Many institution· And organizational
•re expreesing their Interest in the wel-1
fare of the farmer and are offering to ι
solve bis problems. Many people inter-1
eated in each work are actuated by high
motive·; others because it la proper to
preach Ihe gospel of better agricalture,
while some are moved by their own self
ish lotereeta.
We have alwaya abhorred the state
ment, "We mast do aomething to lift up
the farmers." A statement of thia char
acter teveals the mind back of it, ahowa
its limitations, and does not appreciate
the kind of men farmers really are.
Farmers are not looking for someone to
lift them op, bat rather for equal oppor
tunities with other businessmen. The
person who holds that aomething most
be done to lift up the farmer Is rather
bumptious in bis own mind and holds
himself in very high regard. The ulti
mate and lasting forcee which will im
prove agrioalture and rural sooial con
ditions will come through the farmers
'hnmaeivee working co-operatively
through well organiaed association·
directed by intelligent leadership. No
outside institution, organization, or in
dividual will ever be capable of material
ly changing the attitude, the practice·,
or the social life of the farmer aimply by
doing things for him.
In the early days revival meetings were
more oommon than now and it was the
praQtice for the minister to rtqaeet all to
stand who wanted to be saved and lead
a better life. It must be admitted that
there was vaine in people expressing a
dee ire to lead better live·, bat befort
any material ohange comes In any con
vert It la neeesaary for the forcee within
to express themselves In the direction of
right living. There must be a desire for
better things, for a better life.
So it is with the farmer. First, there
must be oreated in him a deetre for bet
ter rural life, better methods of farming,
better schools, etc., and this must be I
expressed in his attitude and aotion be- '
fore ontside Influenoe will have any par
tlonlar bearing upon hie life or his farm
practices.
Our great work le not In uplifting, but
rather teaching people bow to co-operate
and provide a better education. The
farmer le not a ereeture of charity whom
the state or any other organization m net
care for, bat rather a man engaged in
the greaieet and most important voca
tion aad who has not, on the whole,
made the beet oae of hie opportunities
or adjusted hi· baslaeea to the Urgent
efficiency.
There are many vortby forcee in onr
land, too numerous to mention, attempt

trying to entablteb proper ρ radioes In

Horticulture Ια Made.
(Frank Η. Dudley, State HortioaKorirt.)
Maine la especially adapted for
orcharding, since hilly, rolling land li
ideal for orchard·. The price of land
enter· to a certain extent into the
orchard project, and fine orchard -land
. may he bought et a reasonable figure.
Maine apple· have long been noted for
their fine flavor and quality, and It l>
generally conoeded that, for most varie
ties, the natural oonditiona of the State
of Maine are ooaurpaased. The fruit
standi up well under long shipments and
keep· well. An expert from out of the
state made the following itatement: "I
do not healtate to affirm that the apple
is not only the safeat and most profitable
orchard crop in New England, but on
aocount of It· wonderful adaptability to
nuoceed on so many types of aoil, it Is,
next to the dairy cow, the most valuable
saeet to New England agriculture. In
no atate that I have visited do I And
greater opportunities for orcharding
than In Maine. There Is an abnndanoe
of land, thouaands of locationa that have
the atmosphere and aurface drainage,
that ia so eaaentlal in establishing our
modern orchards. It also has soil and
climate that develop a product floe in
appearance and of high quality. The
gateway of the export market ie on your
own ooast, while the home market· of
the eastern seotlon of the United States
are made up of the most discriminating
and appreciative class of consumers in
the whole country."
He also said : "I verily believe that
as a broad and general proposition Maine
offers greater advantage· for ·ρρ1· grow
ing and larger finanoial returns for the
capital Invested than does California
with Its oranges."
Several varlettvs of apples have origi
nated in Maine soil. Prominent among
'hem are the Rolfe, Foundling, Perfect,
Wintbrop Qreenlng, Parlin, Stowe, Dud
ley, Quince and Starky.
The orcbardists of Maine are not dis
cou raged notwithstanding the heavy
losses the last few years from winter
injury. There are approximately 2,500,
000 apple tree· in Maine which annually
yield about four and three-fourths mil
lion bushels. Suitable marketing facili
ties will stabilize the business, and to
meet this need, twenty-three fruit grow
ers' associations have been formed in
Maine, also a central body, the Maine
Fruit Grower·' Exchange, its purpose
being the supervision of tbe other asso
ciations. The last local associstion to
be organised was at Standieb, tbe Oak
Bill Prult Growers' Association, organ
ised May 7tb, 1019. It Is expeoted others
will be organized before winter as a sys
tematic effort is to be made along that
line.
Tbe future shipment of apples: Tbe
orobard· of Prance and Italy are some
what devastated and England, Germany
and Rnssia neglected, so I see no reason
wby we iboold not receive a good price
for our apples for several years to come.
The last shipment before the ban was
put on brought over $8 00 per barrel.
Tbe first shipment after the war netted
between 98.00 and $9 00.
Small fruits are raised to quite an ex
tent. raspberries, strawberries and black- {
berries, the value of same being from
$220,000 to 1240,000 annually, some
farms growing fifteen or more acres of
raspberri·*. Pluma and pears are also ,
raised for the borne markets. ,
Maine grows apples of fine texture and ;
unsurpassed flavor and her slogan is
"Eat a Maine Apple To-day."
Keeping Boarder Hens.
But few people appreciate the value ,
of genuine bred-to-lay stock. We have ,
beeo bearing for aome time tbat the ,
average layer «ai kept at a loea. James ,
Dryden, deao of Investlgatora aod io- ,
atruotora in poultry husbandry of Nortb ,
America made tbe aatooiabiog statement ,
tbat on tbe baaia of an average egg yield ,
in tbe United States of 86 eggs per ben ,
this oountry alone wonld bave loat over .
«20,000,000 In 1917 if all feed given to
bens bad been paid for at current mar
ket prices.
Prof. Dryden further made a careful 1
estimate Qf feed cos's and prices of ear*» '
each montb aod found tbat it took 97 1
egge to pay coat of feed for a hen a year 1
at 1916-7 pricea, againat ber 77 eggs at 1
1916-6 prloea for feed and eggs. Bot tbe <
180-egg ben at 1916-7 prioea gave a profit '
over feed costs of 92 57 against $2.47 at 1
1916 6 prices. 1
It seems to me tbat Prof. Dryden's 1
figures are not far from tbe eetimste lsst <
winter of tbe manager of one of the '
largest plants In New England, with an 1
average of 120 eggs per ben tbe poultry- <
■nan just about made expensea. And bia '
estimate of labor and overhead waa ao '
low aa to abow very good management.
A writer In tbe Poultry Item recently
put it in this striking way—I quote from j
memory: "Figuring oaly feed costs and j
taking Prof. Dryden's estimate of 97
oents feed cost per hen, tbe ben that lays
97 eggs gives no profit. Tbe ben tbat
lays 98 eggs gives one egg profit. Tbe ,
ben tbat lays 120 eggs gives 2S eggs (
profit. Therefore, as far as egg prod no- i
tioo is concerned one hen tbat lays 120 ]
eggs is worth as much as 23 hens tbat (
lay 98 eggs each. On tbe same basis tbe <
ben tbat lays 160 eggs wonld be worth 4
as much for egg production as 63 of tbe ,
98 egg bens." Bather atartling, ain't (
it?"
We come to this: Poultry men and (
farmers who haven't good layers are |
working for nothing, if not an actual |
lose. That this is not neoessary is ,
ahown by tbe Storrs contest records. |
But one pen in 100 averaged less than ,
100 egga per hen, and that pen almost |
reached it. There were but five other j
bens that did not pass 120 each. Tbe |
average for tbe 1000 bena was about 160. (
Some people give expert care the \
credit for tbe high laying at tbe coo- ,
tests. Of coarse, that is necessary to f
•eoure tbe very beet results, but if tbey (
will compare the record of tbe highest ,
pea, 2362 eggs, with tbe lowest of about |
1000 eggs, (bey must realise that careful
breeding is neceesary as well aa proper ,
feeding and good oare. If tbey will ,
follow the contest reoorda tbey will also |
see tbat with proper breeding and oare
It le possible to have eggs 12 months in ,
tbe year. <
When I bear about 60 or 100 bens and ]
"not an egg for three months," I always
feel like aaying: Ton had better sell |
tboee bens and get better stock or give {
np keeping any. I realise tbat in buy
ing bred-to lay stock tbe buyer most
depend entirely on tbe knowledge and
booeety of tbe breeder. Bnt there are |
now enoegh Books of good layers to ,
make It possible for tbe bnyer to inveeti- ,
gate one or two without great ontlay of ,
tine or money, and It will pay him well
to do so. ι

Rem ta licences from Col. Boothby
Watkbvillk, Maixk, May 28.
Editor Democrat :
I note from reporte in the press the
the grounds between the Grand Trunl
station end the street it Sonth Parie art
being Improved by grading and laying
ont graaa plot· ana flower beds, etc
Now thi· pleases me immensely, (or ol
coarse I can never forget my boyhooc
days were apent in Sooth Paris, anc
many is the hoar I have spent aroanc
the station and playing in the Sqaare.
Bat not to make a long story, I don'l
know as you personally are aware thai
Soath Paris owee the filling In around
the station to me, thoogh Joseph Jonei
can tell yoa all aboat It.
When the stately old station strootore,
with Alvah Hersey in charge on the pas
senger side and Mr. Morton on the
freight, was removed, and the new ot
present one boilt, the anslgbtly hole·
between the two locations were not
tilled, wbioh always troubled me. And
it so happened that when Mr. MoGoigan
was general superintendent or general
manager of the Grand Trunk, he often
oame to Portland, and sat at my table at
the Falmoatb Hotel, where Mrs. Booth
by and I lived only thirty-seven years.
I mentioned the snbject to him and he
said, "Sinoe you take It so much to heart,
the next time we bave a gravel train on
that division, we will have the grounds
filled," which he did, and even so long
ago as that the cltlcens of Sooth Paris
regretted that it was not grassed over.
So I am very glad the matter is at last
receiving attention, and hope to view the
spot when next I travel that way. .
Only a short time ago I was reminded
of the many happy boors in and aroond
Sooth Paris, by seeing in the papers the
death of Daniel D. Sewall, for when I
was a boy bis father was the Congrega
tional minister at Sooth Paris, and
Daniel D. and bis brother William were
firemen on the Grand Tronk. Many is
the mile I have ridden with Daniel, and
sometimes on the looomotive "Coos,"
which I always thoogbt each a fanny
name, tboogh we boys never gave op oar
allegiaooe to the "Forest City," of wbioh
Jooaa Hsmiltoo was the engineer.
Bat all of this for tbe reason that the
Sewall boys were the inventors of the
present "Sewall car heating" plan,
whereby cars are heated by steam from
the locomotive Instead of by stoves, and
their names deserve going down to pos
terity as much as the Inventora of the
cotton gin or sewing machine.
Fhbdxric E. Boothby.
Here and There.
The Democrat has been requested by
an Interested organisation to express Its
approval of action which will lead to the
adoption of wbat is known as tbe metric
lystem of weights and measures by the
[Jnited States and Great Britain, which
It seems are the only two important
soontries not now using it. That this
expression of approval might go where
it will do good, we were furnished with
blanks to be filled oat, and two stamped
snvelopes, one addressed to President
C?nodrow Wilson, the Senate and Hoose
>f Representatives of Congress, tbe con
gressional committee on weights and
neasures—and we don't now recall
vhether there was anything more on tbe
ace of the envelope. Tbe other was ad·
Iressed to Mr. Lloyd George and several
ieparate bodies and oommlttees of the
British government. Tbe blanks were
iromptly signed and mailed in the envel
>pes with their imposing arrays of ad·
iressees. We don't know wbat jonior
ilerk or stenogrspber or new ofiBoe girl
nay open those envelopes and file the
lommanications therein contained along
vith thousands of others, somewhere in
he dark where no mortal eye will ever
rase upon them again. We wish they
night get far enoogh along toward tbe
>arties addressed so that they wonld
kdd the weight of wbat ink it took to
nake tbe signatore to the movemeot for
idoptioo of this simple system.

my dear," ventured Marian, "but If
you do not start soon you'll be late
for your train."
"Nonsense," scoffed her husband;
"plenty of time."
And then Ann appeared on the
threehold—Ann, radiant in ode of her
astonishing breakfast gowns. Glenn's
suppressed cry of satisfaction did not
escape Marian, and the peril stood
naked to her eyes.
When her husband arose at once and
came to her side to give her a cordial
Impersonal good-by kiss, she returned
It gaily and began to banter her young
guest on the conquests of the night be
fore.
"You are a remarkably beautiful
woman, Ann," she concluded with gen
uine warmth.
The front door closed softly and
Marian fancied her husband's retreat
ing footsteps were reluctant She real
ised now that he had lately more than
once missed his train to the dty that
he might breakfast with Ann, or, at
least say good morning to his guest
before he left.
Ann's pleasant voice recalled her
hostess to the present
"Beauty counts a lot Marian, after
all," the girl was conceding. "But It
has Its disadvantages. It attracts the
admiration of many interesting and de
sirable men. But sometimes It draws
the other kind, the dell and the Impos
sible."
"Even married men," suggested
Marian.
"Why, yes," admitted the other light
ly, "even married men. Sometimes
their attentions are annoying, some
times they mean nothing."
"They always mean something to the
wife," pronounced Marian.
There was no bitterness In the
words, no subtle meaning. It was the
plain statement of a truth, the applica
tion of which the wife was not only
willing but anxious to have her friend
discover. Between these two women
was a bond of love and unusual un
derstanding.
•Tou are not afraid—" gasped Ann
in dismay.
"Just that, my dear. I am afraid. I
suppose that every wife is always
afraid until she has the absolute cer
tainty."
"But for six years Glenn hasn't
thought of another woman," protested
Ann.
"For six years," said Marian, "Glenn
baa had very few opportunities of see
ing or knowing another woman. He
has worked hard. He haa helped me
with the children. We hare had no
time for our friends or for society."
"It has been very fortunate," mur
mured Ann conventionally.
"It has been very pleasant," cor
rected her hostess, "but It hasn't
proven anything except my husband's
dutlfulness."
"That's a lot" Insisted Ann,
"It's everything to some women,"
admitted Marian, "but It doesn't mean
a thing to me."
"It should mean something to the I
mother of his children." j
'"It doesn't count even on that score," I
confessed the mother. "listen, Ann. I
This straggle for the love and Interest I
of a man is world-old and doesn't end I
at the altar, not ever, no matter how I
fine and clean and honest the man I
may be." |
Marian watched her young guest I
keenly and noted the serenity of the I
girl with satisfaction. This friend had I
never failed her yet, would not fall I
her now, although she bad never tested I
the friendship as she now had it in her I
heart to test It
She was not surprised, however, I
when Ann suggested the wisdom of I
cutting the visit short j
"On the contrary," denied Marian,
"you must remain even longer than I
you had planned If necessary. For I
my sake, you must stay until I know." I
Ann paled. "But If the worse—" !
"Nothing," protested her hostess, I
"nothing can be worse than uncertain
ty." I
They left the breakfast-room and I
strolled arm in arm to the nursery. I
"Come," begged Ann, "outline my I
wretched task for me. I see your I
view-point and, for your sake, I will do I
as you ask. But It is horrible." 1
"It need not be so. Treat him as I
you wpuld treat any normal man. I
Glenn," she boasted, "is the most nor- I
mal man I know." |
During the days which followed I
Marian fought many battles with her- I
self.
On the other hand, the growing In- I
terest of her husband in Ann made I
her feel that she must reach the truth I
at any cost !
The beautiful young guest was very I
popular socIally_and had few evening? I
to devote exclusively to her host« I
When she had, she gave freely of her I
talents for their enjoyment One eve- j
nlng, after she had been playing and [
dnglng for some time, Glenn turned to I
his wife. I
"Why don't you keep up your music, I
Marian?" he demanded.
"I haven't much to kèep," she apolo- I
glxed lightly. "I never sang well and I I
cannot play as Ann does. I doubt If f
my playing or singing would give I
Pleasure to any one." I
"Our talents are not the same," ]
laughed Ann. "You could come nearer I
to playing and Hoeing well than I
could to writing a poem." j
"Songs In a home make more music I
than poems In a magasine," observed I
Glenn sourly. "You would be sur- L
Frifed how many poems dont get IntoJ
magasines, moreover. They don't make Γ
much of a sound anywhere aave the ι
post offlce."
Only now Mirian wonda&d whether I
he really meant to tease her or to sert-1
otttfy disparage her. Ann, with herl
usual'tact had changed tft* subject r
-'I
I "Why don't you drees your hair llk«
inn'it" asked Qlenn several days latei
M be sat at dinner alone with his wife.
She langhed aside the demand at
the time, but In the privacy of hex
rooms that night she stçod before her
tall mirror and faced herself and bei
problem bravely.
She was only a year or two older
th«n Ann, and she looked ten.
( She took the pins from her hair
and shook the loose strands over her
shoulders. Once heavy waves had
hung below her waist Qlenn had been
proud of It then.
As she stood before the glass now
ghe tried, with patient fingers, to twlat
die despised colls into a fashionable
coiffure.
•It aU went," she mused, "before
little Mary came. I would have given
the flesh from my bones to have kept
the poor little thing alive. Some sacri
fices seem to be in vain. But, of course,
they aren't really."
Her efforts were finally rewarded
by a rather Imposing achievement But
she shook her head dubiously.
She braided her hair Into tight lit
tle plg-talls, locked her door, and cried
herself to sleep.
In the meantime, Ann, aside from
the fact that her task was dally be
coming more distasteful and Irksome,
was having a very good time.
Tom DeWltte, one of the older
bachelors, was markedly devoted, and
Marian would have rejoiced In this
turn of Ann's affairs had it not brought
another and serious turn In her own.
Tom and Glenn had always been
good friends, but after the frequency
of Tom's visits to Ann began to be
noticeable, Glenn's cordiality ceased.
When he came home one evening
and found Tom dining Informally at
his table he became distantly polite,
almost to the limit of rudeness. Mar
Ian saw the change, and panic sv-ajed
her. .
The evening of the dinner Ann and
DeWltte drove to the theater. Left to
themselves, Glenn and Marian faced
one another In dumb misery.
"Play and sing for me," rasped
Qlenn. Marian went to the piano obe
diently, but her hands trembled and
her voice shook. ((
"I cannot, Glenn—Indeed, I cannot,
she pleaded.
"It Is too bad," he sneered, 'the
others are not here."
"It Is. Indeed, I am sorry," she ac
knowledged, holding her hands tlghtl}
together lest their trembling betray
her agitation.
«Go—go to your room I" thundered
her husband.
"How he hntes me—how he hates
me !" she kept repeating to herself up
the Interminable stairway.
He followed her almost immediately.
"We may as well have an under
standing at once," he said wearily.
"You must refuse this man DeWltte
the house, or I cannot answer for my
treatment of him."
"I'm sorry, Glenn—sorry for you.
It's all my fault. But I cannot turn
him away."
"You must," he blazed. "What do I
care for your sorrow? Do you think
I will let this man stand In my way?"
"But think of Ann. She has her
right to happiness," she pleaded.
"Marian, you are no child. You
have been married six years. You are
either unsophisticated or devilishlj
cunning."
"Glenn, our happiness is In ruins.
But let us be man enough and womau
enough to think of them. If Ann cares
for htm, and he cares for Ann—"
"For Ann. for Ann." he laughed
harshly—"do you suppose a man of
DeWltte's type would give a second
look or thought to a scrawny, white
Immature little thing like Ann, In the
presence of a splendid, brilliant, beau
tiful—"
Marian sprang rorwara ana searcneu
the angry eyes of hlra. In their depths
she saw the sincerity of a boy, the
passion of a man—hut beneath them
both she saw the certainty. Her plump
arras tightened about l;Is neck and she
covered his face with her kisses.
"You're a queer woman," said
Glenn, stroking her smooth, dull hair
with a tenderness that belled the grufT
ness of his speech. "Here for weeks
I have been trying to be good to you
and to your pretty little friend, and
you have been cold as a stone. And
now, when I talk to you like a drunken
cad—"
She fumbled up across his lips and
pulled his nose until It was red and
unlovely.
"You've tried to be good to me,"
she mocked. "Let me tell you, foolish
one, it doesn't matter in the least
whether a man is good to his wife or
not."
Which cryptic remark she did not
expect him to understand. Not that
It matterei. NVthfng muttered but the
certainty.
Chinese Foundling In Luck.
A -Chinese baby named Anna Ml·

Wore, legally adopted daughter of
Chin H. Wore, wealthy proprietor of
a New York restaurant, by order of
Justice Cohalan in the supreme court.
Incidentally the story of how the child
was saved from death In Infancy and
acquired the surname by which she
has been known, was disclosed. Ten
years ago Patrolman Mlchaelson was
walking his beat In Chinatown when
his attention was attracted by the
piercing wail of an Infant In an al
ley ash barrel he found the Chinese
child, In no suit of clothing, and blue
with cold. The policeman wrapped
the waif In his overcoat and took her
to the police station, whence she waf
later taken to the New York Found
lings' home. At about the same timi
the childless Chin H. Wore, who If
prospering In business, and his whtti
wife vlalted the Institution In segrcl
of an Infant for adoption. Theii
hearts went out to Anna Mlchaelson
and they took the child home—the
first Chinese girl legally adopted In
New York county.

A WAR SAVINGS HORSE
How Kindness Developed an Almost
Worthies· Animal.
Daisy «topped in her rounds of the
Boston business district where she
hauls packages from one place to
another, to make a call at the head
quarters of the War Savings Organi
zation, 95 Milk street She came to
enlht in the work of spreading a
knowledge of the advantage of in
vesting in Thrift and War Savlhgs
Stamps among the people.
V
Daisy is a living example of what
can be achieved by the law of kind
ness. Nine years ago nobody wanted
her and she was condemned to be
shot. Then John J. Bergh came
along. For $60 and an old horse he
secured possession, and you. should
see her now, and the medals—some
of them gold—that have been awarded
her in the annual workhorse parade!
Daisy dotes on her master and will
do anything he tells her to. If he
asks her how old she is she never
hesitates, but unblushlngly paws it
off on the pavement. She shakes
hands (?) with every one of her four
feet, and if he puts a lump of sugar
between his teeth and tells Daisy Just
to suck it she will lap it carefully and
does not think of trying for the
whole lump until hegivee the word.
She picks her bit up from the ground
and does other remarkable things,
and she did them all for the War
Savings Organization, just to show
what she could do and what she was
glad to do to help the good work
along.
Daisy Is now a regularly accepted
member of the Savings Division and,
whether you recognize her or not as
she goes about, frequently carrying
great boxes of literature for the War
Savings Committee, you may be sure
that she is on the Job and doing
everything she knows bow to promote
the sale of Thrift and War Savings
Stamps among the people.

"My big ambition is to gat married

HOW TO BE A CAPITALIST.
Even Small Savings May Be The
Foundation of a Fortune.
Do you want to be a capitalist?
It's easy.
Hartley Withers in hie authorita
tive textbook "Poverty and Waste,"
saye that "Capital 1b defined by
economists as wealth set aside to be
used in production. A certain amount
of it Is necessary before any Indus
try can begin its work; because in
dustry implies making or growing
something, and, during the process
of making or growing, those who are
at work have to be kept alive out of
a store that has ben set aside
beforehand to that end. Professor
Walker's well known example is that
of a member of a savage tribe, living
precariously on flsh 'caught from the
rods which jut into the sea,' who
lays up a store of dried fish, and
keeping himself alive thereon, makes
himself a canoe, and thereafter can
*paddle in it out to the banks' which
lie two or three miles from shore,
where in one day he can get as many
fish as he could catch from off the
rocks in a week.
"Sis store of dried flsh was his
capital, which he reserved from con
sumption and kept to live on while
m»*Hng his canoe. Having done so,
fye has put his capital into a canoe
and can let It out to his* neighbors,
tnkfng· payment from them in, the
form of part of their catch, on which
he can live, while he himself builds
more canoes and sells them In ex
change for the labor of the reet of
the tribe. The point at which he left
off being a mere hand-to-mouth work
er and consumer and became a capi
talist, was when, instead of eating
all the flsh that he caught, he saved
some and dried them so that he
might Be kept alive while he carried
oat bis canoe-building venture. 'At
every step of its progress,' says
Walker again, 'capital follows one
law. It arises solely out of savings.' "
Every man, woman and child can
lay aside a part of the proceeds of
bis labor, beyond what I» necessary
for his present maintenance, and
thus start on the road to capital. The
safest and soundest way of patting
aside your "dried fish" today lies in
the purchase of War Savings Stamps.
Even the smallest sum· can be put
into Thrift Stamps which grow into £
War Savings Stamps. ]
τ Capital arises from thrift, and ί
