Cl\?u an Ingonlou* mind niifi Mil <\ve to business, u live man cau 1*1:1 k ?? at on* ey out of almost uny ol<! thing, lvihaps \t>u remember the ? -Mr. (ordi nary suceess seored peine years ago by Solly (Ireeiuup. the rainmaker. If not, you i'uh read his record in a port folio of newspaper dippings collected nil tbu way from Nome to San Olefro, from eastern Oregon to western Kail* sa*. y Solly (I re en cup, Indeed. occupied for h while a position unique In the a una In of meteorology, Scientists might doubt and cynics might kco(T. but whenever Solly went after the rain clouds he al ways got 'em. Moreover he didnt work on "the beadn-lw in. tHll|r^OU* lose" principle of aoine other rnininak ers, Solly Oreencup, when he once de cided lu* could produce rain In a sriyen district, always backed hi* opinion with hard cash. If he asked the farm ers to^ put up *1,000 for an Inch of raliu he put up another fl.OUO himself as a forfeit in case he failed. And be always won. Grecu.cup never explained his meth ods. All dhe farmers wanted/was the rain. All Greencup wanted was the money. With the result both were satisfied. His apparatus consisted of a flag pole, an electric battery, a kite with a metal tall and an air balloon filled with a mysterious gas. If dcUn-< tists demanded the reason for these eontrlVances, he shook his head and smiled. Sometimes Greencup would have to stay n long time In a locality before he could find the exact combination necessary to coax the wet forces Into action, Sometime^ fit had to confess that the drys were too strong for him. Hut as soon as he posted his forfeit and set. up his apparatus the desired ^moisture followed in a few days. Once in Elslnore valley he gave the ground a good soaking for a paltry $2,500, thus saving a $1 ,000.000 grain crop. Of course he. made a tidy for tune. yrt at4ho ttrne no one considered hln charges t^xorbltarit. And everybody admitted he wtisj a good sport. As be grew wealthy Greencup never gave himself frills nor assumed the title of "professor." These things were after Ward remembered to Ids credit. A few years ago Greencup went per manently out of the rainmaking busi ness. In a street car accident he lost his left fooL which had to be ampu tated above The ankle. After that for love or money he refused to experi ment with the weather. When the secret of his success was finally revealed some carping moralists called him mnke-belleve. He never claimed, like another famous person age, to be In partnership with the Almighty. But at least he had done something tha* nobody In the world had ever done before. ' ' * He had capitalized a corn. . f Big Private Telephone Exchange. The size of the private telephone ex change grows with the erfectlotf of every hotel or office building of any considerable proportions. The largest ever constructed Is that of a New York hotel which has been ? recently opened to the public.

The opeiv atlng force consists of one chief oper ator, one assistant chW operator, eight supervisors and 110 attendants. The switchboard consists of twenty three poslt|^|8. Thirteen positions are equipped with telautographs used for paging and announcing only. The switchboard has a capacity, off 3,340 extensions and 180 trunks.

Britons Build, Biggest Plans. The Tarrant Aircraft Construction company ot Farnborough, England, has JlSt finished building the biggest air plane in the world.: It is a tri plane, the middle plane of which Is 131 feet wide. Above* and below this are two planes, each 98 feet long. All these planes are 15 feet 2 inches deep. The .body is 78 fee t long (20 feet longer than the biggest biplane), and the height is 37 feet. The pilot's seat Juts out 12 feet beyond the line of the planes. The body of the machine re sembles a whale In length and girth, with a great blunt-ended nose. Be tween the planes are six Naper-Llon engines, each developing 500-horsepow er. Four of them operate two-bladed tractor propellers ; two of them four bladed "pusher" propellers. #. 1 ? /' Jap Industry Hard Hit. During the war the, Japanese zinc Industry was very prosperous and large profits were made on ore which was Imported from Australia and the French Indies. The signlnK of the armistice, however,- has dealt a hard blow to this industry, and it is reported that It costs $200 a ton, to produce Jap anese zinc, while the market price Is only $187 a ton. It is -expected that this will result In a request foi sub sidies and Import protection, since the deposits of Japanese ore are of such inferior quality that com petition with imparled ere cannot be ?et success Mr C?oMfi turn oojd in oatontMcally m omlod pack ago* of 30 dgarottma; or ton packagoa ( 300 o igarmttmm) in ? glmmoinm - pmpor ? ooTOrod carton.

Your enjoyment of Camels will be very great because their refreshing flavor and fragrance and mellowness is so enticingly different. You never tasted such a cigarette ! Bite is eliifcj nated and there is a cheerful absence of any unpleasant cigaretty after-taste or any un pleasant cigaretty odor I ? Camels are made ot an exggft blend of Turkish and choice Dfftneitic tobaccos and afe smooth and mild, but have that desirable fuU~ body and certainly hand out satisfaction in generous measure. You will prefer this Camel blend* to either kind of tobacco smoked straight I Give Camels the stiftest tryout, thou compare them with any cigarette in the world at any price for quality, f flavor, satisfaction.

Two banks, having a capitalization of $.'10,000 each, show nearly a half mil lion dollar,- deim>sits. to a population of about 1,000 including whites And negroes. Tb**re is hardly an acre of land which can V- 'bought ?and" the price of good farm laud is around Jwo hundred ami fift^- dollars tin acre. This is the explanation, according to Mr. Taylor: Where cotton was once the biggest crop of the locality it. in now the smallest. Marshallville farm er* will not weigh over 000 bales this year. In a short while asparagus, the first "money" crop of the community, will -be shipped in carload lots all over the north and dast. Last year the crop, which was -considered a short one, was valued .at $00,000. Thlrf^ will be followed in the wring by peaches, 1,375 acres of which were shipped hist season fiVmi Marshallville proper. Peas and velvet beans are also shipped in quantities.
