Congressmen's Garden Seeds.

Much fun was always poked at
ex-Speaker Henderson by his
conferees because of his reputation
for distributing free seeds to his
continents. Once when he was
being ridiculed for his free-seed
fad he calmly felt i'll his pocket
and handed to the ridiculer a postal
card in a woman's hand. It read:
Dear Congressman Henderson:
Johns influence can't be got with
IS cents worth of free seeds, but if
you will send me box of hairpins.
I will look out for him. (Signed)
His Wife"
Another communication read:
why not let up on seeds for a
while and send jack-knives? In
that case radish seeds would not
come up poor turnips."

A SINGER AS A FARMER.
Ellen Beach Yaw Discusses Orange Gull
tivation and Fall Flowing.

The home life of Ellen Beach
Yaw is ideally simple-and Ideally
American.
1 Perhaps here is not another
singer of note in the world who
has been less affected by cosmo-
politan training and earthwide ex-
perience.
The house at Gonna is simple
and oldfashioned. a comfortable
piano of bygone style inhabits one
corner of the parlor and in the other
reposes a fern which, IS absolutely
a record-breaker. It's dropping
branches, falling in a green cataract
to the floor, spread across space
fully six feet in diameter.
Miss Yaw speaks French like a
Parisian-but she has made Fren-
chiness conspicuously absent from
her home.
She lived in Italy, studied with
Caruso's teacher and talks Italian
as though she were raised on
spaghetti-yet there are no Latin
evidences in her home.
In word, when she is at home,
she is simply plain, old-fashioned
American.
She goes about the farm yard in
sunbonnet and a gingham gown,
feeding the chickens, entering into
debates on orange cultivation, dis
cussing late fertilizers and even
talking over the fall blowing.
Miss Yaw is entirely practical.
If the table in the broad, country
dining room needs cleaning, she
can clean it. If it is to be set, She
can spread the cloth and place the
dishes as deity and quickly as the
most accomplished maid.
Her own little bower is in the
front yard. 1t is a cunning little
arbor, shaded with vines and
shielded from the morning sun by
the prickly spines Of a colossal
cactus that rises fully thirty feet
above the ground. Within the
wee house, all is coziness and
daintiness. Scores Of pictures hide
the weatherbeaten framework and
small writing desk in the corner
bears materials which testify
abundantly to this great little
singers love of correspondence.
And in constant attendance is
Adrea-a silent. tawny-skinned,
ivory-toothed maid. Adrea has a
Spanish name, but sober counten-
ance and unspeaking lips testify to
the pure Indian blood which flows
in her veins.
Adrea is also somewhat of a
celebrity among her own people.
She is graduate of the Sherman
Institute. She can cook like
New England housewife and sew
in a manner creditable to a seam
stress. She vows eternal fidelity
to the prima donna, but Miss Yaw
feels certain that she will never be
able tC take her away from the
land of her faters.
In another corner OF the house
sits an old spinning wheel. Miss
Yaw's interest in this venerable
curiosity is great. She sits in
front of it and plays that she IS
Marguerite-a verify which she
has played many times with high
success before European audiences.
Miss Yaw loves her country
home better than any other spot
in the world. She loves its quiet,
beautiful days and long, restful
nights. The broad, shielding or
chards that surround it, the majestic
blue mountains that rise in the
background, the soft, peaceful
wind that blows in every day from
the far distant sea-these are the
5 furnishings of her paradise. Los
Angeles Times.

Extra, Iowa, Jan. 25, '06.
Messrs. Miller Il Shoemaker,
Commerce junction, Iowa.
Gentlemen: We have your let
ter of recent date in which you make
certain inquiries about advertising.
Permit us to Fut our views as
follow:
One thing is fixed. You MUST sell
goods. About this, all other ques-
tions relating to your business re-
volve Ifyou can't sell goods, you
must go out of business. We might
go one step farther and say that if.
yeu can't sell ENOUGH goods, you
must go out of business.
Now if your personalities are SO
attractive and magnetic that you
can draw all mon unto you, yon
don't need printers ink You are,
in this case, your own advertisements;
and your own gracious manners are
your fortunes. But to be candid,
you aren't that kind of confidence
man. One fyour firm is rather a
homely, awkward fellow, and the
other has rasping voice, though we
aren't saying just which is which.
However, you are honest, and in this
you have the advantage of certain of
your competitors, who are more ex-
pert salesmen but LACK THE coNF1-
DENcE of the public.
Let us say here that honesty is
necessary to successful advertising.
The honest man will get as large a
return from dollar spent in adver-
tising as his dishonest competitor
will from five. Why? Because the
people take into consideration the
MEN REH1ND THE AID when they read
it, and they are wary of a store with
bad name.
You say you have the largest
stock that has ever been in your
town. This may mean something or
it may not. Some of the largest
stocks we have seen were not worth
fifty cents on the dollar. They were
stale and dingy and shelf worn.
The fact is, there are two points
of contact You must keep in touch
with the public and you must keep
in touch with the times. Advertis-
ing will keep you in touch with the
public but you must keep yourself
in touch with the times. Remember,
too, the merchant who gets out of
touch with EITHER has found a
straight road to ruin. :
This is why advertising is neces7
sary, and this, too, is what makes. it
profitable. No man ever lost dol
lar in advertising if he had the right
kind kind of goods to sell. But on
the other hand, advertising will not
sell bogus goods that are twenty
years out of date. If that is the
of goods you have, our counsel
is that you lie low and keep the fact
from becoming known. Perhaps
you can work them off on some inno-
cent and unsuspecting purchasers,
but that kind of business is like
life insurance-you mustn't let the
public into your methods.
In conclusion, if yonr stock is
fresh, and clean, and up-to the min
ute, the money you spend in adyer7
tising is as sure to bring returns as
money invested in government bonds,
and the profit will be many fold
larger. This from the fact that your
business is actually CAPABLE of CON
siderable expansion. There is GER
tainly large volume of business
AVAILABLE to you if will GO AFTER IT
AND KEEP AFTER 1T as you should.
At your pleasure, we hope to hear
from you again.
