A GREAT ADVER TlsING IDEA.
An Entire Pony 0utft-Comprisins Pony
Cart, Harness, Robes, Whip, Etc.,
Given Away to the Lucky Boy.

What is probably the most extensive
advertising idea that has ever been
introduced in this vicinity is the one
which is to-day made public for the
first time by that enterprising, exten-
sive and prosperous clothing firm,
J. M. Gliding & Co. They pur-
chased a short time ago pony, car,
riage, harness and all belongings,
which they intend giving away to the
holder of the lucky number, July 80,
at 1880 p. m. With every dollar
purchased coupon is given, the dup
lica.e of which is deposited in tightly
sealed box, which will be opened in
the presence of DR.. ]. p. Welsh
Principal of the Normal School, w.
O. Holmes President OF Town Coun-
Gil, and Mr.. A. H. Bloom cashier of
the Farmers National Bank, who have
kindly consented to act as judges,
together with representatives of the
town newspapers, and see that every
thing is conducted in fair and i'm
partial manner. The box will be
opened at 7 80 p. m. sharp on the
night of July goth, and a little girl
bllndfolded will draw 2racoupons, the
2Ist draw being the lucky one. The
idea is novel one, and no doubt
every boy in this valley will await
with anxiety the date upon which it is
to be given away. On former occa-
sions of this kind it has been custom
AIRY to give coupon with every suit
at certain price, but Gidding & Co.
have decided to give everyone an
equal chance, therefore they have
made it with every dollar purchase.
This idea is good one from the fact
that the chances are equal, thus if any
one has little girl it would equally
be appreciated by her as by boy.
The pony is very kind and gentle and
can be driven by the smallest child.
He stands about eight and one-half
hands high and weighs about four
hundred and forty pounds. The car
riage or cart is a model of cuteness,
being newly upholstered and elegantly
painted. 1t certainly is handsome
turnout, one that any boy or girl will
be overjoyed to own, and the liberal
donors will no doubt make many little
friends through it. Gidding & Co.
never do anything unless they do it
right. They never advertise until
they advertise right, and no better
proof of their success through it is
shown than by the very large business
they have builtup. Their establishment
is known north, south, east and west
within a radius of so miles, and their
trade extends through every nook
and corner of the valley. They de-
serve it however, for no harder work
ers for business have ever been in our
midst. Their advertisements are
always truthful and their way of doing
business cannot help but bring success
to anything they undertake. From

The windows of the clothing store
of ]. M. Gliding & Co. are attracting
considerable attention. In one of
them is the large strong box, in which
the coupons for the drawing of the
pony and cart are to be deposited,
and the other is filled with fine
selection of neck ware. The whole
is in keeping with the usual taste dis
played by Mr.. Gliding in the dressing
of his windows.

EDGES PLAN A SUCCESS.
Change in the Method Of Holding Farmers
Institutes Generally Approved.

The department of agriculture has
held 1870 institutes in ffty-six counties
of the state during the 1895 8 season.
Dates have been fixed for about thirty
more, making total of 100 for the
institute year. 1t is also intended to
hold number Of Spring and Sumner
Institutes before the close of the fiscal
year. Applications have already been
received for a large number of insti.
tutes to be held during the next
Autumn and Winter. There is a
growing demand for institutes to be
held in September and October and
less desire for dates in March and
April. Thus far Lancaster heads the
list with eight institutes. Susque-
hanna and Lackawanna have each
held SIX.
The corps of institute workers now
consists of Professor John Hamilton,
Colonel John A. Woodward, T. B.
Terry, of Ohio Senator N. B. Critch-
field, of Somerset, and one member
of the state board of agriculture Sc
lected for each week. The officers of
the department of agriculture assist
whenever their services are needed.
Secretary Edge fills gaps caused by
sickness or absence of any member of
the force. The secretary has thus far
attended forty Institutes. He expects
to get to at least ten more before the
close of the season.
The dates are so arranged as to
have two sets of institutes in progress
at the same time, and the corps of
institute workers are divided and
changed to suit the locality and lead
ing interest of the district in which
the meetings are to be held. Secre-
tary Edge is called into requisition
whenever commercial fertilizers are
used extensively. MFR. Terry talks
upon potato cultivation and clover
production. Professor Hamilton is
an authority upon roads and road
laws. Each member of the force has
one or more specialties which are called
into requisition as the wants of the
district may indicate.
At the commencement of the season
there was much objection on the part
Of local managers and members of the
state board of agriculture to the de-
partment fixing the dates were selected
by each member at will and without
any reference to those of adjacent or
adjoining counties, and much of the
funds of the State failed to produce
the best results because of the greatly
increased amount of travel occasioned
by the want of system.
Under the management of the de.
partment, dates are fixed at the com
mencement of the season and they are
so arranged that the force of institute
workers may pass from one county to
another with minimum of expense.
The local members of the state board
of agriculture is permitted to select
the places at which the Institutes o
the county shall be held, but the
dates are fixed by central authority
Under the old management I4S insti-
tutes were held with So, 500. Under
the new plan it is expected that 17o
will be held with an annual appropria
ton of $7,soo.-Harrisburg Patriot
