How ADVERTISING EFFECTS BUSINESS. =
The man who advcrtises his business, if what
he offers TOR sale is honestly what he represents
1t to be, or what it ought to be, is constantly
assisted IN his business by those who have been
attracted TO him and tested him. A buyer has
read his advertisements, and gone to his store
OF workshop or warehouse, whatever it may
be, and tried what was recommended. If It
has satisfied him he is pleased and recommends
1t to his neighbour, who is likely to 20 to the
same place and tell his neighbor 10 turn. And
thus little rills started by his advertisement
flow In upon him from all Sides and the cur.
rent of his business grows stronger ADD wider
and more rapid, and be prospers and grows
rlco, all because to strict attention 10
business he added judcious advertising. But
tor this he might have fingered on in the com,

BIG CORN AND THE FREIGHT
QUESTION.

EMPORIA, september ID.
EDITORS NEWS: We want to tell you
OF some Of our large yields of grain. B.
r. Parker informs US that he threshed for
W. B. Willis, off Of four and a-half acres,
1917 bushels of No. wheat. How is that
for yield in drouthy Kansas Also thresh-
ed for Richard Morgan 1877 bushels Of rye
from four and a-half acres. Beat that,
Will you, and Richard will try again.
There is no use tslking-if Kansas don't
get away with 'em all at the Cen tennial
exhibition, twill be because the people
do not have enterprise enough to gather
their best products and forward them.
We do really hope that the people will
take hold Of this matter and save speci-
mems Of their products, so that they can
be gathered up and forwarded in good
shape to the committee at Emporia. This
is our only opportunity. We will never
live to contribute to another exhibition of
this kind, unless we should live to be as
old as some of the people that we read OF
in the Good Book.
We neglected to mention our friend and
1SA8AOOAS OO4n OoNESs SAAOcAC0S HUH H
acres, 405 bushels of wheat. So we might
60 on and enumerate.
Now what we want Is cheap transport
tatioa. How can we get it? That is the
question Some say get more railroads.
Won't they consolidate, and still keep up
frelghtsf Now, we have said IL hereto
fore, and still say 1t, that it will only be
occasionally that grain will bear trans.
portstion to the sea board, and the farmer
that depends on raising grain to ship will
come out at the little end Of the horn, our
word for It. We must sell more on foot;
raise no more than will supply home de-
mand; put some Of our surplus into man
ufacturing our own ware, and stop send
ing our money out Of the country for that
that can be produced at home. Patrouize
home as much as possible; il Is to our adj
vantage to do %. We have = large sur
