The Country Merchant.

The country merchant is making a
great talk about the mail order houses
in the big cities who are getting trade
away from him, but with all his out
cry he is really making no serious eff
fort to prevent it, says an exchange.
You can't stop people from buying
where they think they can buy the
cheapest. simply by the use Of invec-
tive. The only way the country mer-
chant can hope to compete with the
mail order houses is bv meeting them
on their own grounds-by adyertis-
ing.
There is absolutely no hope for the
business Of the county mer, ant I'M
til he correets a few II his time worn
views about advertising Advertising
is simply telling what yon nave to sell
and the price. 1t makes no difference
if your ads are no. written BY an ea-
pert or Illustrated by a high-priced
artist, you caa make them effective
and result producing if you bear in
mind the one point that an al. should
tell about what you have 10 sell and
not simply about yourself.
Any kind of advertisement Is Of
course better than none. All adyer-
Using pays in some way or other and
the merchant who does no adver-
Using at all, because he is not able to
afford big pages, makes one large
mistake. II you caa't do the best
advertising, do the best you can.
What the best is that you can do may
seem very small, but advertising is
something that pays for itself and it
increases right along.

One Poland-China SOW
JACOB HANS.
An untimelY Demise.

1t is with deep regret that we
chronicle the untimely demise of our
old friend, Wink Kirkham. Wink
had his faults, but he was good
man. While his subscription was
not paid, yet there was not fellow
in the valley who would leave his
pillow quicker to 60 take a social
drink with you than Wink. Wink
was little stingy himself, but that
was not his fault. The whole Kirk
ham race was as stingy as homemade
sin, and while Wink made his wife
take in washing and charged his own
children for board while they went TO
school. yet he was good man and we
feel deep pang to know that he has
shuffied off this mortal coil before he
paid us the S175 he borrowed two
years ago.
Wink had been ailing for some
time. Neighbors say that he was
too stingv to eat enough to maintain
life, but we are not prone to believe
what the neighbors say. Winkham
Googenheimer Kirkham was born on
Grub Prairie, fall 1914, in the State
OF Missouri, and resided there all his
life until two years ago when he came
to Beetown and borrowed 1915 from
us. He was not of the best stock,
several of his brothers were eternallv
in trouble and he himself was wife
beater.
No man on Grub Prairie liked the
Kirkhams and the community back
there sighed sigh Of relief when
Wink moved away. He was dis
honest and disagreeable and went
about looking like a ground hog dur
ing a fam NJ, ut it has always been
our motto TO speak well Of the dead,
and we shall say nothing about Wink
now that he has crossed to the home
vineyard beyond the big divide.

Always the Same.

The people who are always the
same are the people you can depend
upon. II is pleasure to be in their
company There are SO many peo-
pie in this world who are one day in
high spirits aud the next in the blues,
one day they are cordial and tire next
cold. 50 YOU have not the least idea
what their attitude will be the next
time you meet them. You never
know where to lind them. SO it can
not help but be pleasure to meet
the people who are always the same.
They may not always be brilliant,
but we know where to find them aud
they are such a comfort and help to
Us. 1t is really pleasure to do bust
ness with such people

Caught Rather by Tail.

Walt Shrake Of Wyalusing had an
experience the other day that he viii
not soon forget He had come in
from the field for dinner and gone in
to the kitchen to wash when he spied
a rattle snake crawling into rat
hole on the outside of the main
building. He threw piece of board
and caught the caudal end of the rep
tile who persisted on crawling under
the house although Mr. Shrake stood
on the board. Seeing he could not
keep it long that way he grabbed the
snake by the tail Jerking it out Of
the hole and threw it about ten
feet after which he killed it with
club.
Rattlesnakes are becoming quite
thick in Grant county and we should
follow Crawiord's methods if we want
to exterminate the pests.

The eross-eyed. red-haired imp of
Satan who poses as our office devil
has already made a fair start toward
running this weekly family paper and
causing the editor to be sued for libel.
Yesterday our old German friend,
Jacob Hans, dropped into our sane
tum to do a little advertising. We
were absent at the time and the devil
waited on him. Jake had a sow aud
pigs for sale and our devil, who
knows nothing OF the value of a
comma or a period. wrote out the adj
vertisement. took Jake's money, and
when we returned he had the ad. in
type, the form adjusted and on the
press. We supposed everything was
all right, gave the devil two bits ex-
ira and run off the edition. Today
Jake was in the Office again. He
stopped bis paper and made all kinds
threats against US and we did not
know why until he finally pointed to
the adj, threw the paper down and
rushed from the Office in a frantic,
maniac way. We picked up the
paper and to our humiliation and
perfect establishment we found the
following:
FOR SALE-One Bole and China
sow nit nine pigs by me.
JACOB HANS.
The advertisement should have
read:
FOR SALE-One Poland China SOW
with nine pigs, JACOB HANS.
1t is evident that an editor should
never leave his business to the devil
no matter how trusted, for every
printing office devil on earth is eter-
nally trying to shock the community.

EXPECTATION Bill KILLED
Kansas Legislature Knows a Fake
When II sees One.

Topeka Feb. 26.-The house ways and
means committee held an executive ses-
sion last night to consider the exposition
appropriation bills It was decided to ad-
versely report the bill appropriahng $780,
geo for Kansa mi-centennial exposi-
ton in 1904
The directors of the semi centennial ex-
position have worked hard to secure an
appropriation but met with discourage
ment from the start. The senate com
mittee on ways and means placed the bill
on the calendar and made 1t a special
order for Wednesday of this week. The
house committee put of making report
until the last minute however, and for
some time past members of the house
who favored the bill have been expecting
an adverse report.
John Francis. chairman Of the house
committee. was opposed to the appropria-
ton and worked against it from the time
it was proposed. He argued that the ex-
position in this state in 1904, following
the large exposidons at Buffalo and St.
Louis, would not amount to much and
that it would be better to hold it at a
later date, if at all His influence was
considerable and he succeeded in doing
much to defeat the appropriations.
