A diplomat is a man who tells something that isn't exactly so to some other man who doesn't believe it. An ounce of diplomacy is better than a ton of dynamite. The poorest diplomat in the world is the old man who meets an apparently young thing in short kirts and reminds her of the time they went to school together. A Central-American diplomat is a president of a republic who knows enough to slide out the kitchen door and get aboard a yacht ten minutes before the revolutionists climb over the front porch. i The first diplomat in the world was Adam. He laid it all to the woman. In Russia the greatest diplomat is the man who gets his gun off the hip quickest. MARCEL'S STATISTICS. Forty per cent, of the actresses i would make excellent cooks. Sixty J ner cent, of the cooks would make great actresses. ' Such is life. Only three per cent, of the men propose marriage of their own free will. The rest are proposed to by the women. This is done so cleverly that the man is seldom conscious of it. The bureau has undertaken the task of ascertaining how many wives consider themselves cleverer than their husbands. We suspect that the percenage will be very large. The prehistoric Dinosaur was usually afraid of its mate. The female j Dinosaur would not tolerate any non-j sense. Dinosaurs would have been prehis-, toric before they were if they had eaten modern "table d'hotes" and washed them down with modern red ink. A pretty woman in the street car diminished the value of street car advertising 80 per cent. "A friend of mine who had succeeded in remaining a bachelor for forty years went to a week-end party and came back engaged to be married," says Marcel. "It is a great life if you don't week-end."

THE

Changes in Agriculture An Associated Press dispatch today dispels the old idea of monotony on the farm. Reports from state agricultural authorities show some of the greatest changes in the last decade in the history of agriculture in the United States. In some states the favorite crop has been discarded and farmers either are raising new crops or diversifying "their crops. Farming has almost been made over in some states, says the dispatch. Kansas has increased its wheat crop 100 per cent in the last ten years. Iowa, the great corn state of the Union, has increased its yield 58 per cent in the last decade; and Minnesota, on the other hand, has decreased its wheat yield 26 per cent. . ": V '' Indiana's outstanding progress was in live stock raising. Rye made great progress in Indiana and Ohio. Our neighboring state to the east cut its tobacco yield 50 per cent in the last decade. Wisconsin has changed from a grain growing to a dairy state. The change in the crops grown in the various states probably is attributable to the influence of the agricultural colleges, which have made surveys to be able to direct farmers intelligently as to the most profitable returns from their acres. The drift from one crop to another has been influenced in a certain degree by the economic factor. Farmers will plant those crops and engage in those activities which bring the greatest results. Indiana farmers have discovered that there is money in raising hogs. Good transportation facilities enable them to rush their live stock to the great markets, and so they are engaging in this line of their industry with greater zeal than they formerly did. One-crop states have learned that diversification of crops not only means more profits, but also conserves the soil, and hence they are departing from established custom. The review of the last decade, which is printed elsewhere, is of interest not only to the farmer but also to the urban dweller.

Two Minutes of Optimism By HERMAN J. STICH

THIS FARMER'S NAME IS LEGION It is trite but right that most of us do not know when we are well off. Ijend an ear to those among us who are supposed to be most favored or most fortunate, and they will tell you a tale of woe as long as the road from Dan to Beersheba and twice as broad. Talk to the next friend of yours you meet and ask him really to tell you confidentially how things are going, and he will tell you his i3 the hardest lot of them all; his the path with most rocks, least roses and sharpest thorns; also, that in all the world there never was such a misunderstood martyr. Most men make themselves unhappy by envying the lot of others instead of enjoying their own. The universal heresy ia the assumption that the other fellow has a comparative "cinch." However, one illustration cut from the matrix of life is worth a double column of generalities. There was a farmer who had got tired of his farm. He had been born on the farm, had played there with the young bulls, scared the chickens, driven the cows in from the field, worn out the "old swimmin' hole," explored the lake, smelled the nectar and ambrosia of the meadows, and suffered in the "littleTed schoolhouse" down the road. As he got older, he weeded, hauled and bound hay, picked fruit and vegetables, drove to town and cut fancy figures at the weekly barn dance. After a while, he took unto himself a prize bride. He adored his wife, adored his three wonderful children, grew up with them all over again, sent them off to college and saw them happily married. Then he got sick and tired of the place. He longed for, and imagination conjured, some beautiful spot where everything was ideal, where he could spend the winter of life in calm and rrimrrt QTlH 1'nntcnt

So he went to the real estate agent

sale. The agent came out, inspected the place, asked questions, looked glad and sad by turns, and finally to the farmer's great joy, remarked, "Guess I can find a buyer; things seem to be in first-class shape." In the next week's issue of the county paper, the farmer read the real estate agent's announcement. It stated that John Jones' farm of two hundred acres was for sale. It was a fertile farm. Crops were frequent and had never failed. It had plenty of good timberland, a delightful dwelling house, roomy barns, bins, sheds and storehouses of all kinds, an artesian well, extensive pastured ground. The place was well stocked with cattle, pigs, horses, dogs, poultry and up-to-date farm machinery. It was only a few minutes' drive from the city, had telephone, rural free delivery service, electric lighting, modern sanitary conveniences and many other advantages. In fact, any one looking for an ideal farm could do no better than to consult the agent immediately. The next day the farmer called at the agent's office. "Say," he said, "I read your advertisement of my place in the paper, and as near as I can figure it out, that is exactly what I've been looking for. I'll keep it myself." This farmer's name is Legion!

I am an admirer of beautiful faces bat not dimpled ones. Excepting those of laughing babies. There the dimples have a use mothers can plant kisses In them! But t look upon dimples in a grown face as something of a misfortune. . ' I met a person the other day of great intellectual attainments. But somehow or other he didn't seem to know much! The fact was that as & boy he was used as an experiment. Showing unusual mind, he was trained to do out of the ordinary thinking until when grown, he had been completely led oat of the real world into one where he thought by role and by-way of mechanics. ' It is quite possible for one to know so much that he becomes hardly more useful than the fool, who boasts of no knowledge. . In other words, if you don't want a brain that people will look upon as they look upon the dimpled face, get your knowedge from the mass of human beings about you and from the big things in the world, from those things that build men and women interest in other folks, the . creation of new things and the betterment of old, constant research. " Brains develop character the same as does the face. And it Is the character that sets a man by himself and allows him to be classified. At once you know you are in the lpresence of strength or of dillydallying weakness and indecision. People begin to make notes of us the minute we begin to talk. If you have any dimples on your brain, they wnl show the minute you begin to smile intellectually. Study. Then observe. Observe. Then study. That is one way to learn. It is also one way to become strong in mind. And only strong minds are worth coming in contact with!

Answers to Questions INQUIRER Is it not true that the British government passed land acts by which Irish tenant farmers might become the owners of the land that they tilled? After long agitation the English parliament passed the first land bill in 1881. It was known as the "Three F"s" free sale, fixity of tenure and fair rents. Under this the tenant was empowered to sell his occupation interest; he was secured from eviction except for non-payment of rent, and in the third place the tenant was given a fair rent by a newly formed land commission. This act was followed by the Ashbourne act of 1884, which created a fund of 5,000,000, out of which the tenant might purchase his holdings, the purchase price being a loan that was secured by the land. In 1891 this act was extended by Mr. Balfour's Land Purchase act. It extended and modified the Ashbourne act by providing 30,000,000 from which to convert the tenant farmer into a proprietor. Under this law, as fast as the instalments of repayments were made they were again available, so that in time all the tenant land in Ireland might become the property of the small farmer. In 1896 another land act was added to the statute book. The general effect was to decide most of the disputed cases in favor of the tenant, and to repeal the exceptions made in the former acts. Dairy farms, which were excluded in the former laws, might be bought by this latest act. The 40th clause of this law introduced the principle of compulsory sale to the tenants of estates in the hajads of receivers. In 1903 the Wyndham land purchase HUSBAND AND AVIKK BOTH SICK Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Comer, Shenandoah. Va.. were both ill. He writes: "Rheumatism and bladder trouble was our trouble. My wife had rheumatism In her arms so she could not use them. She has had no trouble since taking Foley Kidney Pills. I don't have to jret up at night so much since taking: Foley Kidney Pills, nor have I a weak back."

act was passed. It gave the tenant a material reduction and a bonus of 22 per cent on the purchase money. It was decided by the courts that these reductions became the private property of the purchaser. After this the sale of estates proceeded rapidly.
