Henry Ford, according to his own figures, about $100,000,000 worth of build ings, $100.000,000 worth of machinery bank balance of $135,000.000. las land a He also declared that he could doubt less, if he were so inclined, capitalize [and float his business for a billion dollars. The question is then brought whether Ford is as rich as Rocke If he isn't it would up I feller or not. seem, from the rate he has gone in the past few years,that he will soon out strip the old oil magnate. Henry Ford is an enigma, especially to the rest of the monied men of the nation. He hasn't played the game according to the old rules at all. He seems to place his cards all on the table face and not to worry very much about up whether or not someone takes ad vantage of the knowledge of his fi nancial affairs thus obtainable. He seems to.be almost too willing to have his affairs made public and is given credit with a desire to keep continual ly in the lime light. But he is a suc a business man and his cess as thousands of employes are allowed to participate in his profits, to a sonable extent. In fact his fairness to his employes is one of the out standing virtures of the man. We are all willing to credit him with being a success, if he will just leave politics rea As a politician, and also as a alone. statesman, he is a frost. pa w ir-i THE DESIRE TO DO When there is a general desire in a community to do things, the com munity is bound to be prosperous. Where every member is reaching out to do and to accomplish, the spirit and team work becomes in The work of the commu warms stinctive. nity grows and expands. Because men have been blessed with this desire to do and to achieve is back of all the success we have In this life. It is back of all the in ventions, all the institutions. It has made life more Intensive and in creased its pleasures and its dangers. A thousand and one conveniences have come into being because of this desire to do—this pleasure of accom plishment. It is the potent force of civilization and progress. It is one of the sweet and blessed impulses with which man has been blessed.—Cald well News. ® Pa isi And now the charge is made that the national agricultural conference was "fixed." It is claimed that it was called for the purpose of putting the agricultural bloc on the blink and preventing the agricultural interests from securing legislative relief of any kind. It is very improbable that such is the case. There are always those who are eager to impugn the motives of others, but they are not usually those who accomplish things. I® M ! 1 It is remarkable how extremely vir tuous some men can feel about the expenditure of money in a senatorial campaign, provided the man elected is on the other side of the political fence.—Toledo Blade.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Fanner Brown was driving the doc tor back to town, after he had set neighbor William Johnson's fractured leg and dressed three caved-in ribs. Johnson seemed to he in bad luck con stantly, and tlie neighbors were cir culating a subscription paper for him and arranging a "bee" to do up his unfinished work. Earlier in the season a hold-back broke on a bill. The horse ran away, throwing Johnson to the ground and confining him to bed several days In a busy period. A little later one of his little boys stepped on a garden rake which had been left hack down on the ground, and ran a tine through his foot, child was taken to the doctor to have the wound dressed, but not until Infec tion bad set in, and be would always be a trifle lame. The Delays Farm Work. A hired man stepped through a loose board of a bam loft, and farm and household work was delayed while he recovered. This latest misfortune was the worst Johnson had been of the season. shingling the barn, using a common prop scaffolding, made by placing wooden brackets against the side of the building and supporting them with two-by-four scantling, set at an angle of 45 degrees and anchored at the foot with slakes and stones. He had un dertaken to carry a hunch of shingles to the roof. An upper rung, previous ly broken from the ladder, had been replaced with a two-inch shingle hand, nailed on with eight-penny nails. The | wood in the ' side of the ladder was j dozy and the nails gave way under I Johnson's weight. The jolt as he struck (he next rung upset the ladder, and down tumbled Johnson, ladder, scaffolding and shingles, all in a heap on the ground. "Pretty tough on Johnson," observed Brown. "They talk about farming be ing a safe and healthful pursuit; but I'll bet lie didn't think so when that hunch of shingles pursued him and smashed his ribs." "Farming Is healthful," said the old doctor, "providing people would take reasonable care of themselves.

States Department of Agriculture and the National Safety council show that every year hundreds of people are maimed and killed in farm accidents, a large part of which are preventable. "1 don't know where some farmers find economy in keeping a horse that will shy at. anything and kick any body who conies near him. Perhaps they like to feel their mastery, but the horse usually gets his inning in the end. And of course there is danger to Inexperienced persons. "No bull above two years old should he permitted in a pasture, even if de horned, as all bulls should be. Even an ugly ram has been known to kill a man. Savage dogs ought not to be necessary on a farm. But you find them, and often they find you first. "Farm machinery, such as corn shredders, take a toll of limbs that would be prevented to a large degree if the most ordinary safety devices were installed and kept in working order. Making Thrashing Safe. "In some stales the boiler inspection laws do not apply to steam thrashers. Every thrashing machine owner ought to have his boiler inspected mice year, whether there is a legal require ment or not. "I could talk for another hour or so a on farm accident breeders that might be eradicated. A country doctor's practice is full of them ; hut here we are at the house. Come in to dinner before you go back." "Much obliged," returned Brown, as he cramped his flivver around in the roadway.

New York.—The long-lost Fort Sut ter papers, 1846-7—the greatest histor ical discovery, it is asserted, that has been made for more than a genera tion—is in a collection of rare books on the west, Its history and romance, which were sold here recently. These papers were the subject of search for more than half a century. George Bancroft, whose extensive in vestigations yielded many other price less historical treasures of similar character, finally abadoned hope of the discovery of the Fort Sutter papers and said in his work that a veil of mystery shrouded the events of 1846 and 1847 in the Sacramento valley and that very little was known of af fairs at Sutter fort during Kern's ad ministration as commander there. The finding of the manuscripts bears, out Bancroft's estimate of their consequence and, in addition, seems to point to Gen. Stephen W. Kearney's attitude toward John C. Fremont and Kern as the probable cause of the pa per's disappearance in 3$47. RAINS UNCOVER GIANT RACE Skeletons Found in Arizona Burial Grounds Twice the Stature of Present-Day Man. Douglas, Ariz.—Recent heavy rains in Use vicinity of Keddingtou have un covered the burial grounds of a race of giant people who are thought to have lived thousands of years ago, according to August Ealey, a miner, who has been empijyed in the Red dington district, parts of skeletons recovered from the cemetery, and declared that the stat ure of the race must have been twice that of the average man of today. One skull showed a thickness of about an inch, Ealey said, and was in a stale of perfect preservation. Pieces of pottery, earrings, remains of char coal fires and other evidence uncovered by I lie rains has led Ealey to report the discovery to the state university. Ealey described Finds "Made" Pearls Real. Paris.—Pearls are pearls, whether produced by rite Japanese method of Artificially stimulating their produc tion in oysters or formed in the usual manner, so far as French science can determine. M. Bontan, in a report to the Academy of Science, shows that the process of formation is the same in both cases, the only difference Is In the larger core of the "Japanese" pearl. In the "Japanese" method some small object is placed in the oyster, which promptly protects Itself by de positing about the intruder the pearl substance, as It does ,jvl)en such an object'gets Into the shell accidentally.
