the advertisement writer YIELDS into
one big display announcement, which,
when it has been approved by the gen.
eral manager, becomes the law and
gospel of the next days business.
Copies Of 1t are posted on all the floors
and are put into the hands of all the
salespeople. Every salesman and sales
woman in a department must learn,
the first thing In the morning, the spe-
cial prices at which wares are offered
in the days advertising. The days
advertisement ia the Baedeker for both
shoppers and salespeople.
The massing of three-score or more
varied shops under one roof demands
an efacient STAFF of department heads,
or buyers" The worth of buyer is
measured by the amount of net profit
he can show at the end of the year.
He must be on the alert to seize op-
portunities for acquiring desirable
stocks at low prices-the bankruptcy
OF manufacturer or big merchant
is one of thees opportunities; he must
be able to forecast the future tastes
and demands Of the shopping army;
he must know when to plunge, buying,
ten, twenty. or thirty thousand dollars
worth OF goods in single order; he
must know when to push and when to
marx down certain stocks, and all the
time he must keep his weather eye on
the doings of buyers In rival stores.
II he carries line of foreign goods,
he makes a yearly trip abroad to buy
directly from the makers, whether it
be Partisan gowns. German toys, or
Persian rugs. The toy buyer goes
to the Continent, in January, to order
his next Christmas stock. The sue
cessful buyer Is master of his depart
ment, and he usually commands high
salary, sometimes as high as twenty
or thirty thousand dollars a year, al
though four-fgure salaries are the rule.
Every night, at the close of business,
the salespeople give the amounts of
their total sales to their buyers, who,
in turn. foot up their department to-
tails. The buyers then report to the
general manager, who compares the
days sales with the business the year,
before. Marked variations are made
the subject Of inquiry. Every night,
when the general manager leaves the
store, he knows to cent the days re-
ceipts. how they compare with the pre-
vious year, and. II they vary from the
normal, the reason therefor.-Success.

THE OLD HOME.

Twas only humble cottage,
Not far from the village street:
But the cool green meadows inclosed It,
And the flowers brought fragrance
sweet.
The birds in the roofs old thatches,
The winds in the tall elm tree,
The pathway that led to the woodlands,
Made the happiest home for me.
Then, no world beyond the meadows,
Disturbed my beautiful dream:
Ny playmates were birds and flowers,
And we used to sing to the stream.
But now the green meadows have wild
ened,
Far, far to the rolling sea,
And sail away on its bosom
From the home of my infancy.
o lands of crimson and purple!
o white-jeweled cities afar!
Ye throb on the restless ocean,
Ye dazzle like Orient star;
+ But, oh! for the Nome of my childhood.
And my world of meadow and tree;
For the quiet calm of those old, old
days
Has forever gone from me.

Testing the Seed Corn.

testing seed corn, and have found in
their tests samples from farmers rang
ing in vitality from 90 to 81 per cent.
The Importance Of testing seed corn
cannot I've too strongly urged. The fol-
lowing Is an extract from letter re-
ceived from Professor A. w. Hume.
OF the Illinois College on this subject:
"If, as seems probable. we are COM
PEELED to select seed corn for next
spring from CRIB having large per-
centage Of frosted ears or of ears
which for variotls reasons will not
grow. the question is what can be
done to help insure our stand of corn

do to plant seed on valuable land with
a certainty thnt one-fifth Will not
grow. The hest suggestion the writer
has to offer to corn growers is that
they make most careful inspection OF
corn. which they expect to use for
seed. whether It be purchased from re-
liable growers or selected from their
own storehouses. We believe it would
Ike possible for every ear of corn plant
ed in Illinois to be tested for vitality.
II an ear does not come to the required
standard, 1t may be possible to discard

Trust Investigation.


Congress has ordered Secretary Cor
telyou to investigate the Meat Trust,
but by what he says he is not going
to do in carrying out the orders of
Congress leads one to believe that he
will not discover much that the trust
does not want him to find out. He
announces there will be no public ex.
animation Of witnesses and that he
scorns to stoop to detective work.
When Secretary Cortelyou reports to
Congress next winter what he has dis
covered, perhaps Congress will be none
the wiser.
We all know that the Meat Trust
is bad trust for that trust and
the railroad merger were the only
ones that President Roosevelt and his
Attorney General could discover that
We're bad enough to commence pro-
.ceedings against, but neither of these
were bad enough to prosecute under
the criminal section Of the antitrust
law.
II Congress had ordered Attorney
General Knox to indict the Meat Trust
magnates for criminal conspiracy in
restraint of trade and they had been
convicted and given the term in jail
that the law provides for such crimi-
nails, the trust magnates would be
glad to amend their doings. Such pun
ishment would turn this bad trust
into an inlDcuous one and Secretary
world of trouble.
How will Secretary Cortelyou ind
out anything about the Meat Trust,
that ia not already known, IL he will
not "stoop to detective work y When
he or any Of the 10000 people en-
ployed in his department, interview
the trust magnates, the bad side Of
their doings will hardly be disclosed.
When the railroads are asked about
the secret rebates and special rates
that the Meat Trust Is said to enjoy,
the corporation magnates will not
want to convict themselves.
Secretary Cortelyou evidently has q
very exalted idea Of his own impor.
tanca but he will have to come OF
his high horse and get down to de-
tectiye work to. obtain any evidence
of how the trust manipulates the mar
ket for cattle and dictates the price
of meat. Perhaps IL he consulted At
torney General Knox. he might be
given the evidence presented to the
court upon which the injunction was
granted against the combine Vyhv
did the Republican leaders in Congress
ask the evidently unwilling Cortelyou
to obtain evidence of the Meat Trust
exactions. when Attorney General
Knox must have just what Congress
says 1t wants? Perhaps the Republican
leaders know that Secretary Cortelyou
would not "stoop to detective work"
and thus no evidsnce would be forth
coming.
