such practices that he made himself
worth a great deal to leis employers.
In war there are generals and field
marshalls. They do not carry rifles
or engage in the battles as dothe
rank and file. Their business is
strategy. They are organizers of
battles. They are infinitely more
valuable than the man who carries a
rifle -this in relation to the fortunes
of war. `
So many of us are individualists.
We want to do all things ourselves.
We are even proud of our way of life.
Yet if we would advance .in status
and fortune, we should learn to mul-
tplly ourselves in others—should dele-
gate to othersmuch of the common
work, leaving ourselves free for high-
er employment.
Many an employee fails to see that
the most valuable man is he who di-
rects and organizes and plans, and
is skilled in strategy. Being just a
toiler—a doer of jobs—may be all
wrong for many a man.

was appointed to some high judicial
office, and later was made a Federal
judge. When he died, the ' newspa-
pers said many fine things about
him, and said that his death was a
great loss to the country. , It cer-
tainly was to that poor butcher, who,
when he died, had an estate whose
value was less than $1000.
In Stratford in the boyhood days
of my friend, was a family named
Crossen—a very large family, but
good-hearted and hospitable in spirit
and practice. This family's dining
table had a little fence about it—to
keep the baked potatoes from falling
to the floor. The mother dumped a
great mass of potatoes on the un-
clothed table -top, and the children
helped themselves and drank butter-
milk. Potatoes and buttermilk con-
stituted their main diet:
In Stratford arrived an equally
targe family from Ireland, named
Finlay. They had, no place of shel-
ter, and no money for food. Yet the
Crossen's took this family, of 13,
Into their home, and cared for and
fed them for several days, pending
their getting settled. Mother Cros-
sen,was setting the table for the Fin -
lays, and was putting knives and
forks on the table. Up spoke Mrs.
Finlay: "If you're expecting the chil-
dren to use those things, take them
away. They wouldn't know how to
use them"! That was about 60 years
ago. Some Irish children to whom
knives and forks were quite unknown!
My friend spoke of a fable that he
heard -and one .newto me, Perhaps
it was not, exactly a fable—just a
story. It was used by the advocates
of Single Tax, once a sy§tem of taxa-
tion .which had warm advocacy, and
which yet has its champions. The
story is:
There were twoneighboring islands
whosemajor crop was figs. Each of
these islands was separately govern-
ed. Both Governments were in great
need of more revenue." One island's
government put a tax on fig trees—
so much for each tree. But the fig -
tree growers, trying to avoid the
tax, began destroyingall fig -trees
which were not good bearers. Soon
the island had few fig trees, and the
expected tax was not forthcoming,
and the farmers had made themsel-
ves poor. without hope of a quick re-
covery of former prosperity.
In the other island . the govern-
ment put a tax on eland. So every
farmer set about the job of making
the land highly productive. To get
off their acres a maximum produc-
tion, they planted more fig trees and

"Defentive Ears"
In Exported Cattle
Reports recentiy received from Great
Britain have mentioned the disquali-
fication for the subsidy of a number
of Canadian cattle, due to "defective
ears", states the Live Stock Market
Report of the Dominion Department
of Agriculture. In one recent sale at
Glasgow, 36 steeds were disqualified.
The sale price of these cattle was
estimated to be about 40 shillings
($8) per head less oh.account of the
disqualification. Exporters should
therefore cull out steers that show
marks of any kind on the right ear,
as examiners are particular in this
respect and will not pass any animal
that has any' mark or deformity on.
the right ear.
The British regulations provide
that imported cattle will not be eli-
gible. -for the subsidy in all cases
where the right ear has any punch
hole of any shape in any position on
the ear, half an inch or more ac-
ross, and in the case of an animal
which has any notch, snip, or eat out
of the edge of the ear, half an ihch
or more across and extending ,half
an inch or more into the ear. it is
quite clear that anything other than
the insertion of a tag is inadvisable.
The clincher type of tag, now in more
or less general use for identification
purposes,, seems to give reasonably
good satisfaction and is rarely torn
out or lost.;
In order to aualify for the subsidy,
animals must have been on feed for
90 days, and, unlessthey bear on
their right ears the identification
mark of the date when they did go
on feed, they are not eligible for the
subsidy. Hence the importance of
unmutilated right ears. The subsidy
is apportioned as follows: for quality
