much rain Experienced people wire that the
crop cannot stand any more wet weather with
out increasing the chances for further injury
Red rust reports already numerous. Visitors
here who have crossed the Northwest States the

HOW HE FAILED.
He Did Not Advertise and Had to
Quit Business.

Do your own advertising. Make
it study. Study the wants of your
trade. When you get something
they want let them know it. Do
what you say you will, and fortune
is yours. Advertising is a study,
and if man waits until he has pur-
chased stock of goods and get it
placed on the shelvers, and then
thinks about talking to the people,
a school boy could predict his fail
ure. You cannot succeed on your
reputation as good writer. You
cannot succeed on your reputation
as good bookkeeper. You must
have other essentials, and the chief
OF these is to be able to get near
the buyer and to inspire that con-
fidence which will induce long-con-
tinued mutual good feeling, and to
this end the newspaper is yours.

Northwestern Doing Big Business.

Traffic on this division of the
Northwestern is eclipsing all former
records this month and every avail
able piece Of rolling stock is being
utilized in handling the great
amount of freight that is consigr ed
at this season Of the year
Freight traffic is so congested that
numerous extra trains are required
each day and fourteen extras were
run from Madison on the Lancaster
division Sunday.
So much is required of the operat-
in department that an assistant
train master was required for this
division aud the job fell to the lot
Of Conductor W. A. Hayes, well
known here, a son-in-law OF Aug.
Michael1s.
Train Master Hayes was here
Sunday and called out the freight
crew for an extra run.

HOW ABOUT SANTA.
This it the Annual Question That
Comes Up for settlement.

The question of Sana Claus has
been up for disposal for several days
past and it has been discussed
ag1tated-to the exclusion of tariffs,
railroad rates, rebates, good roads
or infant baptism.
The question is as old at the hills
so old. III fact, that 1T is suspected
to have really started before there
was a Christmas even, but it has
never been settled.
At least the question has never
been settled right. There are those
who object to the Santa Claus idea
because they do not believe it right
to teach their children such a base
fabrication, a myth, a superstition,
and they teach them plump and
square that there is no Santa Claus.
That ought to settle the question,
but it don't. Tell boy today that
there is no Santa Claus; diagram it
to him so that he will thoroughly
understand it, and he will go away
proud in the inheritance of knowl-
edge not possessed by other chill
dren. He will lord it over them for
a while, but it is safe to bet that the
next day that boy will be back at
you with the samn old question:
rs there Santa CT usg'
What's the use to answer the
question in the negatives You lose
too muce time in idle words. Your
arguments do not convince and
there is danger OF losing your stand
ing with young America, and little
ones grow up with a prejudice
against you.
Don't you remember the man who
spoiled the Santa theory for you
and robbed you of half the joy of
ChrIstmas9 Did you ever hear of
a vote of thanks being extended to
anyone for robbing Christmas eve
of its reindeer, its chimney visitor,
and it's jolly, whlte-haired old Santa
Claus? Not much.
Sure there is Santa Claus, little
