C Does anyone know the possibilities ers, 'of an ncre of land? Has an acre of ()) ( soil, like the machine, Its limitations? Who Is ready to say how many tons IuaJ of hay or bushels of grain on acre witl can produce? So far, we do not know of anyone who has been able to make the ncre work to the limit of Its powers c?u' or to fathom Its hidden possibilities. flrn] There Is hound up In a lump of soil nmch history and muny mysteries of the world, much of which man has to never been able to unfold. Too many wer farmers have # rnn fr>/1 Hiol? ?"'i ? though It wore uninteresting nnd not full of charm and fascination. secu 7n the hook entitled "Letters of an , j. Old Farmer to Ills Son." we came ! across these paragraphs: "That's what 1 one T lit ? in the soil. Though we've h? ^.iv* working with it through unnumhered ( thousands of years, no man since the '< n beginning has ever found the llmltn- seed tlons of a single square rod. In the fron ery nature of things, no man will j)o ever discover the utmost end of the oil's power when to Its own fertility " he adds a fertile mind." Yes. It Is l'Rte the trained mind that comprehends the ' poui charm nnd wonders of the land; It Is i twei the fertile hrnln that looks forward to \ frt>e the possibilities of the soil nnd can pjjp( see Its powers strengthen as the com- , prehension of man broadens. We quote again from this hook: ' "An acre of land Is pretty much like snia the heart of a good friend. It Is an <har everlasting challenge to you to show seed the best that's In you; it's everlaab- niuc Ingly rich In surprises for you. It's anfl an everlasting Invitation to you to do ' ' with It what you will and to take from " It as you need; and there's everlast- s Ing certainty that It holds great treaeures always In reserve for you.

A newly patented system for receiving coins has Just been put on the mar- * ket In New York. This system Is In- lirH tended for use In hotels and apart- to ment houses.
