WOMAN SELLS MANY FARMS
Chicago School-Teacher Earned 3d.
500 in Commissions During Her
Vacation Last Year.

Woman's ability to sell farms and
induce city people to move them, nc
matter how far away they are, Is
proved by the experience of a Chicago
woman school teacher, according to the
story an Illinois land agent tells. He
says, reports the Chicago Tribune, one
OF the women teachers in Chicago
schools made $1,000 in commissions
during her vacation last year, selling
farm lands in far northern country.
This woman is not only good talker.
dresses and looks well, but she seemed
to know just what families or heads OF
families to select. In each case they
were the best adapted, according to her
view of the matter, to farming, and az
q result some of them are on their
farms and have crops growing. She did
not sell to women particularly, but to
men who are good judges of land.
She had one advantage in talking up
the country in which she was selling
land. She had herself invested in a
quarter section. She knew what IL
raised there, what class Of people 60 to
that locality, and something about tho
weather of the region, acquiring ia
miliarity with so many features she
was able to answer almost any Ques-
ton asked of her. Not long ago,
among q party that left Chicago on an
evening st. Paul train, at least half
were Chicago persons whom she had
induced to go north and look at the
country in which she herself had in
vested her earnings.
1t is told by those who are in posi-.
ton to know that women make good
homesteaders and stick to claim un-
| til it Is proved up and a number Of i'm
provements made. A Sycamore Gill;
girl proved up a claim in North Dako-
ta, taught school at the same time, and
finally won banker for husband, all
in the same deal.
About two years ago, when the
southwestern railroads were develop
ing and reaching out to new section
of Oklahoma, two young women Of
Manitowoc, Wis, got the homestead
fever and started off for that now
promising land. They were in at the
rush and each got a claim. These
girls are now at their homes in Mani
towoc on visit. They stayed down in
the territory until they had perfected
their claims and made number d
improvements. The land, in the face
of sure statehood to the territory, has
already become valuable.
The names of this plucky pair are
Mary Trestik and Matilda Meyer.
Both are under %, and neither had
been away from home until they start
ed of to new country, where they
now have together 800 acres Of the
finest farming land of the middle
west. Il

The package should be neat and clean,

ers, endeavor to suit their tastes in every
particular. This is important, for, while
one customer likes a full-flavored but
ter, another likes mild one. One likes
the butter pale; another highly colored;
one likes very little salt; another quite
q quantity: It is by catering to these
likes and dislikes that our butter will
be in demand, and we shall receive
good price for it." .,.,

Neat Packing Helps Sales.

Appearances count for much in mar
keting produce. Neatness plays no lit
tie part in selling the small things off
of the farm. We have seen good butter,
fruit and poultry g. begging for custom
ers, when placed on sale in slipshod
fashion alongside of an attractive pack
age of the above-named produce. "A lit
tie time spent in getting things in shape
is time saved-not lost. The grocery

hibiting their wares. Why should not
the farmer profit by their exreri-
epce?. Midland Farmer.

Prof. Trigg on Silo.

A progressive dairyman in Mime
sofa built silo five years ago and was
rated as half-daft by his old-fashioned
neighbors. He filled his silo and fed
his COWS, and was thus able to so far
distance these scoff1ng neighbors OF
his in the returns he received from
The creamery, which they all patron
lied, that he can now count ten silos
on the ten farms adjoining his. 1t
has come to this that where land
is worth $50 to $500 per acre, where corn
is grown and stock is kept, the silo
is just as absolutely indispensable in
the economical administration of the
farm as the handspring is to watch.

THE GAR AND HIS MONEY.
Russian Monarch Is Even Richer
Than the Leading Capitalist
Of America.

The fact that the car has just made
little contribution Of $100, 900 900 from
his private purse to the Russian war
fund reminds us that Mr.. Rockefeller is
not the only rich man in the world. There
are few others, and there is hardly
doubt that the Russian monarch over
tops the Standard Oil emperor, not only
as the first Of autocrats but as the first of
plutocrats, says writer in the Philadel-
phia Saturday Evening Post.
Most royalties are very small potatoes
financially compared with any one of sew
eral American millionaries. Mr.. Rookie
Teller could put all the sovereigns of Eu-
rope. except the car. on his payroll at
their present wages without depriving
himself of a single bowl of crackers and
milk or ever lacking quarter to drop
into the contribution box on Sunday. He
could pay the salary of King Edward or
Of the kaiser for year out of q months
income, and have something left for car
fare.
But the Russian emperor Is in differ
ent class. In the imperial budget the al
lowance for his household is figured at
the meagre rate of about $S,000,000 q
year, but that is merely the beginning Of
his resources. He owns great part of
Russia as his private property-mines.
forests, and illimitable stretches of ara
BILE lands. In European Russia alone the
strictly private domains of the imperia.
family are as large as Indiana The state
owns 20 times as much more, and the
car is the state. In Siberia the imperial
resources are still more opulent. Most
of the rich mines of gold, platinum, and
precious stones are worked for the
benefit of the car and his. family.
But beyond all this, the emperor is the
absolute master of the national treasury
and all it's varied sources of income. In
England the king talks in his speeches Of
my army" my navy" and my ex-
chequer," but all this is understood to be
a legal fiction. Everything is regulated
by parliament, and the king cannot touch
a penny that is not appropriated to his
use. But in Russia the car can speak Of
my army" and my navy" in literal fact.
He could disband the whole outfit if he
chose, and pocket the money saved by the
operation. His civil list is simply the
amount that he sees 'dt to dip out Of the
treasury. He. could double or triple it
without asking anybody's permission.
The whole treasury is his, and all the tax
ing power of the empire, to the limit OF
the ability of his subjects to pay. Is it
not clear that the diffident young
Nicholas is the richest man in the world ::

TWO STEPS.
The Last One Helps the First.

A sick coffee drinker must take two
steps to be rid of his troubles and got
strong and we'll again.
The first is to cut of coffee abso
lutely.
That removes the destroying ele-
ment The next step is to take liquid
food (and that is Postum Food Coffee)
that has in it the elements nature re-
quires to change the blood corpuscles
from pale pink or white to rich red,
and good red blood builds good strong
and healthy cells in place of the
broken down cells destroyed by Coffee
With we'll boiled Postum Food Coffes
to shift to, both these steps are easy
and pleasant. The experience of q
Georgian proves how important both
are.
From 1872 to the year 1900 my wife
and had both been afflicted with sick
or nervous headache and at times wo
suffered untold agony. We were coffee
drinkers and did not know how to get
away from it for the nabit is hard to
quit.
But in 1900 read of a case similar
to ours where Postum Coffee was used
in place of the old coffee and COM
plete cure resulted, so l concluded to
get some and try it.
THE result was, after three days use
of Postum in place of the coffee I
never had a symptom of the old
trouble and in five months had
gained from las pounds to 1913 pounds.
MY friends asked me almost daily
what wrought the change. My answer
always is, leaving CT coffee and drink
ing Postum in its place.
I'VE have many friends who have
been benefited by Postum.
