Criminal Executions In Prussia Still

Seventeenth century methods still
prevail in Prussia in the matter OF the
execution of criminals. The man SEN

head is chopped off with identically the
same sort Of ak as that which was
used to put a period to the career OF

advertising Pulls"

An authority OH advertising says:
IF there is one enterprise on this earth
that "quitter" should leave severely
alone, it is advertising. TO make a
success of advertising, one must be pre-
pared to stick to it like a tarliacIe to a
boats bottom. He should know before
he begins it that he must spend money
lots of it. Somebody should tell him,
also, that he cannot hope to reap re-
suits commensurate with his expendi-
ture early i'm the game. 1t is the man
who has money to invest profitably;
who believes the investment will pay,
and then, beginning to spend money,
stays in the game to the finish, who
makes a success of advertising. Ad-
vertising doesn't jerk. 1t pulls. 1t be-
gins very gently at first. So gently, in
fact, that you would hardly notice it,.
But the pull is steady. 1t increases
day by day, and year by year, until it
finally eXerts an Irresistible power. 1t
may be likened to team trying to
start heavy load. A thousand spas
modic, jerky pulls will not bulge the
load, while One-half the power eXerted
in steady effort will start and keep it

We often wonder why more Of our
Colorado feed farmers do not avail
themselves of beardless barley or even
the big California barley when it will
grow so we'll and thrive at higher alti-
tudes than any other known grain,
says Field and Farm. Everybody
knows that beardless barley does well
even where other barley is not grown
at all. 1t has surprised the neighbors
in Gunnison county by ripening at an
altitude of 5000 feet and with frosts
every night for part of the time.
Farmers find the beardless as rule
not quite up to the Manchurian, which
is the best bearded variety, but many
grow the beardless because 1t is much
nicer, to handle, easier to seed and bet
ter for feeding. We have never seen
any smut In beardless barley. AS to
season it is much earlier than oats and
earlier than other barley by at least a
week. We never tried cutting 1t early
for hay. but have seen it grown extern
sively in California for this purpose.
1t would certainly make good hay in
our mountain districts, although the
straw is rather short. 1t does not
make 80 large growth as oats or other
barley as rule, but its hardness will
easily Offset this fault.
