The agreement covers a period of three years with an increase of ap proximately five per cent in the base rates of pay for the entire period and a bonus for. the second and third year, dependent upon the degree 'of efficiency reached by the train employees. The . bonus is to be Mimd agreed ratio of. expense of train on-' o "J iM iumi to gross revenue. In this way, the Southern and the train em ployees will share in the. benefits 4 : i arising trom increased efficiency and the control of such expenses as are to a great 'extent' in the hands of the men. ' ... The Other Fellow's Goat. Supposing you get' the other fel low's goat, - what are you going to do with it? ': ' , Terhaps in the past he has slipped it over on you. Perhaps .he has be fore now done you harm: Maybe in the present instance he is out to "get"' you. ' ' , He perhaps is sitting cock-sure on the top of the world and daring you to make him bat an eye. Or maybe he is just an arrogant and patronizing individual whom you would like to take down a bit. Bother the "causa belli" that doesn't matter. Whatever the reas on, the fact remains that,, you want to get his goat. l5ut what's the use? What's the good ? ' 'Tist true that ' you , may be satisfying a 'desire for revenge, that you may be getting -even, or that you may derive, a momentary joy in ruf fling some one's equanimity whom you dislike, v But of what real avail is' it all? In what way does it add to the assets of your life's ledger? ' -.-" It is a boomerang -which reacts up on yourself. Either physically, in the way of added resistance which you must overcome' in your course through life; 'or mentally and spiri tually, through the decay of the more refined elemeHts of character or of personality. There is nothing, in the long run, which' you advantageously can do With the other fellow's nanny. Once gotten, .said nanny loses her horns, her characteristic contours, and grad ually assumes the shape an-d features of an elephant, white in color.

Early rad ishes furnish a dainty table dish and may be secured by sowinga few seed early in the spring and making a sue-; cession of plantings every 10 to 14 days thereafter ' to insure a steady supply, states R, F.. Payne, extension horticulturist for the State College of i A : i . r t- . - . ... Agriculture. Mr. Payne says that the radish is acool weather croo and will tolerate considerable frost ; but little warm weather., To grow radishes successfully, he says, "Select a cool, moist soil that is fertile and friable. A good, sandy loam is best but one must avoid a cold, wet soil. Enrich the loam with plenty of well rtoted manure and use a high grade fertilizer. An 8-4-8 fertilizer applied at the rate of about l,000-fK)unds per acre will give good results. Do not use fresh manure as this causes the. radish roots to fork and spoils the flavor. The seed should be sown in the drill about one-half inch dfcep in rows 12 to 15 inches apart to permit of hand cultivation. Later thin the plants to one inch apart in the row." ' Mr. Payne states that the best va rieties for table user are Tah's Early Forcing, Crimson Gianf and French Breakfast. Th cse three varieties are very sweet and tender. , Do You Believe in Prayers?
