4 Sermon for Merchants.

You can get along without pay
ing taxes for a while. So a mer-
chant can get along without re.
plenishing his stock..of goods-for
a while.
But to do these things is a
luxury. No merchant ever feared
a competitor who didn't advertise.
1t is the one who adyertises a
little more aggressively than you
do who gives you insomnia. You
may carry stock % per cent
better than your competitor and if
the public does not know it, it
will not bring YOU any trade.
A merchant can let his store
windows 90 unwashed, and his
merchandise stand on the counters
unsortedl and his cerks 90 shabby,
and it does not indicate that his
methods are behind the times any
more than the fact that hi, name
never appears anywhere except
over his shop door.
When a merchants ad appears
as regularly as the issue of the
paper. people are bound to con-
clude that his business is good
and nothing succeeds like sue
cess"
Buyers would rather purchase
from a smiling successful mer-
chant than from awhining, unsuc-
cessful one any time. When
a merchant keeps his bargains
persistently and everlastingly be-
fore the eyes of the public, people
are bound sooner or later to drop
in and see what be has.
Money spent for printers ink is
never money wasted. Sterling

Wheat Crop Possibilities

In view of the false alarm that
was raised by spectators over the
winter wheat crop it is not
strange that the public is showing
more faith in the stories of black
rust in the spring wheat states.
1t is probably true that red rust
is present in the field of Minnesota
and both of the Dakotas, but that
it has progressed in any instance
to the dangerous black stage is in
doubt. The weather in the
Northwest has recently been very
6ne and cool, discouraging parasit-
ic development, and the latest ad-
vices indicate that a few more
days of immunity from rains and
from hot muggy weather would
insure the crop. Owing to Excess
slve moisture in May and June,
the spring wheat plant is said to
have a small root, with shallow
soil penetration. This renders
the wheat more subject than usual
to adverse influences.
Rust Is the bane of the wheat
grower in the Northwest. In.
1900 it almost ruined his crop.
Every year since then it has
threatened him, and caused some
Impairment of the yield.
1t is now practically a certainty
that the winter wheat crop was
the largest ever officially reported.
1t is estimated at 43O,OOO,OOO
bushels. The spring wheat pros
pect is for 279,5OO,OCO bushels.
Therefore, the possible total yield
is 100, 800, 900 bushels, which has
been exceeded in this country but
once-in 1901.
Never in the history of the
country has the quality of this
years output of winter whest
been excelled.
Unless the worst should happen
in the sping wheat states, the
bull incentive in wheat this year
must come from abroad. Already |
it is claimed that Europe will
need to import $50, 200, 900 bushels
more from America and other |
countries than during the last sea-
son. There are complaints of had
conditions in Russia, including a
wet harvest, which may increase
those requirements. -Drover's |

was s4O4, 07l,692 The valuation
for 1905, as returned by the
county clerks, was $39l,976.SS7.
Practically four times this amount

to reach the actual cash value of
all property in Kansas. Many
counties make the assessments on
one-thlrd, many on one-fourth
and a few on one-ffth of the actual
cash value of the property. This
would make the actual cash value
of all Kanass property 81, 49, 1885,

Surprisingly Rapid Work,

the stunt, as the following may illus
trate:
An Irishman who had lived for many
years in America and had prospered
to the extent that he was able to go
back and make a tour Of his native
isle including Scotland, got into con-
versation with Sandy concerning mat
ters on this side OF the pond, and true
to his blood, painted things in rather
vivid colors. Finally he remarked
with Observation-Disclosures, NOW" air:
why, over in Amerriky they can
build tin sthory block in a month. {"
This was more than the countryman
OF Burns could stand, and with dis
dainful hirt OF his head he calculated:
"Ah, that's nothing. The other
morning when | went down the street
to my work they had just laid the
foundations OF some houses. When l
went home at night they we're putting
the people out for back rent"
And Patrick took the next steamer
for America.

door tomorrow. Don't hoard and scrimp
through all the best years of your life
that you may be generous in your will.
Life is uncertain and it is better 10 make
your children happy while they are un-
der the home roof; 10 call to that home
every agency that will make their lives
sweeter and better, than TO deny them
these that you may leave them large

want the boys and girls to be anxious
to leave you. Don't think they must

and prayer meeting; remember you
were young once yourself. Do not ask
them TO walk two miles to a singing or
lecture after working hard all day,
when there are two or three horses in
your barn that would enjoy the trip as
much as they. For Gods sake show
them you think US much Of them as you
do of your beasts il not more.
Take time to enjoy the society OF
your friends, especially the companion.
ship Of your children; it will only be a
few years at the best that they will be
with you, and these ought to be years
OF happiness to both you and them
Would you not rather have them look
back when out in the world to thai
blessed home (ihough it may not have
been mansion) where they received
more joy and comfort than the worlt
can afford, than to have them forget
home in week and hardly return Il
, your burial? II We are ever happy II
this life we must enjoy what every da!

TEACHING A CHILD TO READ.

Most children learn how to read,
very few what to read. Parents send
the little ones to school, and there they
learn to get the thoughts of others from
the printed page, but the parents too
often forget that this new acquisition
may be used for either good or evil,
very few realize how n child's life may
be blighted by what it reads. Children
had better never learn at all than TO
read that which corrupts the morals
and destroys the powers of the mind.
In some of the best schools the pupils
are taught what to read, as we'll as how
to read. Where this is done the intelli-
gent cooperation Of the parents is OF
the greatest Importance. Where this
is not done, the parents must either at
tend TO the matter themselves, or leave
their children TO be led by fancy and
impulse in their choice OF reading
matter.
