Recreation on the Farm

Some misinformed persons believe th,at the farmer has no seasons of pleasure and recreation and that the demands of the industry engross all his time to the neglect of his family. While the farming industry does entail much manual labor that cannot be supplanted by machinery, it nevertheless leaves many hours open for the pleasures of social entertainment with neighbors and friends. This is especially noticeable at this season of the year, when scores of family reunions and picnics, arranged by farmers, indicate that they do not believe in devotingall time to work to the neglect of the development of the social side of their lives. Thousands of. them attended the big picnics in Wayne, Preble and Union counties in the last ten days, attesting by their presence that they enjoy mingling with their associates and friends,

DO THE DIFFICULT THING FIRST I am rather partial to the man who likes to attempt tasks and enterprises that look too big for him. If a builder feels that he is able to build great bridges and towering buildings, why should he be content to devote all his energies to the building of barns? And I am Inclined to believe that he who has many jobs to do and does the hardest one first does them all well. So that I would consider this a very good motto: Do the difficult thing first! For it is a very valuable fact that with the difficult task finished, one is able to take pride in doing the less difficult tasks much better than If they had been done first. We grow in enthusiasm and confidence by surprising ourselves as to our ability. Do the difficult thing first. The Creator began by first making a world! Then He began to arrange it and to make it fit and beautiful, and to put into it His greatest creation, man. You will never know the extent of your ability until you begin to tap it. Great events do not simply happen. Men make them happen. I often think of that contractor in New York City, whose sign I see so many times with thi3 line beneath his name "Difficult Foundations." You see he makes a specialty of the hard job, the job that so many sidestep. Do the difficult thing first and then you will be amazed how easy are the other things that you have to do. Inspiration comes from perspiration, from aching backs, from tired fingers and from long thinking that is permeated with irritating problems. ' Do the difficult thing first and it won't be long before nothing will seem too difficult to tackle and carry through to a successful end.

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today Much discussion was prevalent in Richmond concerning the use of a profit Eharing plan in connection with the city water plant. Action was imminent in Richmond to remove the street car company lines from the city, because the company had failed to make necessary improvements in a stated time limit. At this time, oiling of the streets was contested, and held to be detrimental. In case these improvements had been witheld, Richmond would have walked or ridden on the muddy streets, which were very common at that time. Cream The Bank for ALL the People Second National Bank

A Lusitauia Survivor Fred Gauhtlett Tells How He Escaped When Giant Liner Was Torpedoed.

Dt FREDERICK J. II A SKIN" , WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 21. It has been said that if a man stands at Forty Second Street and Broadway he will see more interesting people in a stated length of time than anywhere else in the world. It is possible, however, that The National Press Club at Washington can run a close second to and often exceed that notable New York corner in the number of curious and interesting visitors. Only yesterday Fred Gauntlett" was at the Press Club. Many people know Mr. Gauntlett but not too many. He is as interesting as almost any private citizen for many reasons, but for two in particular which are well worth mentioning. Fred Gauntlett Is one of the comparatively few men who went down on the Lusitania and came up again to tell the tale. Also he is practically tha nn man in tho wnr H wtin ewer rnorf , Tr,m T,a a hi nm.Qrmsi property. Both stories deserve reciting. Mr. Gauntlett has for years been Washington representative of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock company. He is an expert in all matters pertaining to shipbuilding and as the company with which he is concompany nected is engaged chiefly In constructing warships, he is especially an expert in mn o'war. When Germany was pressing the allies particularly hard, not many months before the United States entered the struggle, Great Britain needed some special advice in? the matter of naval armament. Mr. Gauntlett, Mr. Knox, president of the New York Shipbuilding company, Mr- Ferguson, president of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock company, and one or two other experts were invited to go to London to discuss naval matters. They sailed on the Lusitania. Mr. Gauntlett says he was having lunch about 2 o'clock in the afternoon when there was a dull thud aft. He did not know what the cause was. It was so slight he finished his lunch. In a few minutes he went on deck and noticed spme signs of excitement among thes icrew. Discovering that a torpedo had hit the great liner, ho took stock of the situation. Being an old shipping man, he knew instinctively what every aspect of such a situation would be. He realized that, the day being warm, every port was open. He attempted to get the steward's force to assist him in closing them, but the hysteria was increasing momentarily and he was unsuccessful. Menace of Open Portholes Great. Long afterwards, in relating the tale he said it was obvious what was about tq happen. The Lusitania was a tall ship. She had three tiers of i cabin ports, all open for ventilation. The torpedo had struck in such a way that the ship filled on one side and was listing perceptibly. Mr. Gauntlett knew that as soon as the ship had For Better Bread and Pastry, Use FAULTLESS FLOUR Order a Sack Now GEO.

heeled over sufficiently, the Water would begin to pour into the portholes. This would accelerate the inflow of water and hasten the flooding of the 6hip. He nfade a hasty mental calculation

and arrived at the conclusion that if the portholes once started filling, the ship was lost, because there were on the listing side of the great liner more than 600 such openings, each of which would admit a large stream. As the first tier filled, the Ehip would list more rapidly; this soon would brine down the second tier and shortly after tne tnird. The resnlt would be a veritable Niagara of water pouring into the shin. When it was apparent he could rally no assistance to close the portholes ihe went on deck.

Mr. Gauntlet says that the narrowest escape he ever had in his life came a moment afterwards. He struck out from the side of the sinking ship and thought himself safe when the great liner took her final plung. The great masts slammed over into the water. Between them was strung the aerial of the wireless, a complicated arrangement of strands of wire. As they came down into the sea, they surrounded htm and it was with the greatest difficulty that he freed himself. For half an hour he swam around looking for Mr. Knox and Mr. Ferguson but could not find them. Then he struck out for the r-!ight miles away.

ordinary experience was th exposure of a fraud by Mr. Gauntlett on his return to the United States. Everyone remembers how the lists of missing passengers and of survivors were published by the newspapers. It seems an old, retired sea captain, living in Newfoundland had conceived the idea of obtaining money on the pretense that he had picked up floating baggage of persons lost on the Lusitania. Using the published list of names of the lost and even, of the survivors, he circularized them saying that their baggage had drifted ashore and that for a stated sum he would forward it. It was a scheme likely to attract the next of kin of the drowned passengers, anxious to havo the effects of their lost friends or relatives, and also likely to attract survivors who had lost their baggago.

Hundreds of dollars were sent the old captain, but there is no record of anyone's having received any baggage. Mr. Gauntlett uncovered the froud. Familiar with the sea and having been a victim of the Lusitania disaster, he knew the exact position of the ship when she sank and knew that the ocean, currents were such that baggage never would drift ashore where? the old captain said he had picked up many trunks. Investigating, he confirmed his suspicibns and, upon publishing the facts through the Coast Guard, saved money for many persons. Mr. Gaunt lett's ownership of a modern navy is a story unequally fascinating. He learned at a dinner party in Washington attended by the Charge d'Affaires of the Greek legation that Greece wanted to buy some battleships. He knew, as a result of his intimacy with naval facts, that the United States navy was about to retire two fine ships. He consulted Secretary of the Navy Daniels and made a deal. He completed the other end with the Greek charge d'Affaires. Then, by diligent application, he got a bill through congress authorizing the retirement of the warships and their transfer to Greece. By a curious tecnnicality of tha transaction the two warships first were transferred to Mr. Gauntlett and by him to the king of the Hellene?. It t;o happened that, because of the red tape involved, a period of two days' elapsed in which he, as a private citizen, was the sole owner of these two great warships. They were anchored in Hampton Roads, each burning about 200 tons of coal a day just to keep the boilers warm. The deal was consumated and Greece took the ships. But Mr. Gauntlett often has wondered what would have happened to him if, for some reason, Greece suddenly had backed down, leaving him in possession of the two vessels.
