Ask for the Octagon Bar 23; t-f Professor Ladd, instructor in psy- chology at Yale, while lecturing be- fore the members of the senior class a short time ago, unconsciously “gave himself away” in this fashâ€" ion: “Now, let me illustrate that point.

The Detroit Journal recently issued a special export number. It con- tained an article written by Mr. H. 0. Morris, the United States Con- sul in Windsor, Ontario. Among other things, he said : “It is commonly knowri here that some of thelarger concerns in the United States, in order to undersell competitors here, have shipped into Canada machines of a former and older pattern. The American farmer will buy nothing that is nor. Strictly up-toâ€"date, and at the end 0f every season there are left over some maâ€" chines that will be a year old the next sermon, and these machines may lack some new innovation. but will do the work and are ‘just as good' as the up-toâ€"date machine, and these machinesâ€"back numbersâ€"are shipped into Canada at a much reduced in- voice value, thus saving duty, and they are just as acceptable to the Canadian farmer as any machine." So, according to no less a. person than a Consul of the Republic to the south of us, we farmers who buy United States machines are really buying the obsolete_ machines gatherâ€" ed at the United States implement agencies and shipped into Canada. It‘ is not to be Wondered at that the United States machines shipped into Canada do not wear or give satisâ€" faction like the Canadian imple- ments. One could hardly expect this to be the case under the rather ex~ traordinary conditions cited by Mr. Morris. f...”â€" IF YOIT MUST TALK. If you would win laurels as a bright conversationalist, first im~ press your mind with the fact that it is not flow of words that you need, but ability to direct conversaâ€" tion. You must draw out the timid, avoid dangerous channels, and make every man and woman about you appear at his or her best, while your own efforts are confined to an occasional word to fill a gap. When you are trying to make a company a conversational success, always avoid a rattling liveliness on your own part. Don’t imagine that to be clever you must be a wit. Your main object is to make yourself inâ€" teresting, without being obtrusive. If you are naturally witty, well and good. It will show itself occasionâ€" ally. But if your wit is forced it will degenerate into more affectation, and ailectation is fatal.
