SOAP CLUES AND so FORTH.
How Such Schemes of Mail Order
 Houses Decrease Business.

\ close student of trade conditions has iust made the surprising statement that last ye&f at least $250.o00.Uo5 that should have gone to the retail merchants of the middle west vas sent away from home to these mail nldcr c0nrHfns.

BUILDING up HOME TRADE
Loca! Merchants Must Advertise to Compete With Persistent Outsiders.

Compete With Persistent Outsiders.
 A hundred years ago it Was Hot necessary 10 do any considerable amount of advertising, but this is the twentieth century, and conditions are quite diiferent,' says an old adverti&- ing expert. Nowadays the merchant who neglects to put his wares before the public through the public prints is surely destined to go away back and sit down. while his more up to date competitors keep going toward tine front. Advertising is the life of trade That statement has been made so often that it is trite. but it is always true.
 Mitch is heard in these days about the mail order concerns in the big cities trl1..,.g away the trade of the mer- chants in the smaller towns and cities l1 s an t.lAenable fact that the cat;a- sy,e. with it's price list of everything j!....,cr the slll, accompanied by nulner- 0Vs :;Ilurng cuts to represent the goods offered is attracting millions of dol lars from the great public pocket. This money before the invention of the niail order scheme went into the pockets of local merchants. The mail order poo pie also consistently advertise their wares in the various little publications which are known to the trade as mail order journals Thus the town and country people are kept constantly in touch with possible bargains. having only to send in an order hy mail ana receive the goods. whetsier satisfac tory or not, by return mail.
 some local merchants make q great to do about this sapping of their sub stance but if they fail to take the only obvious method of self defense there is not much sympathy to be wasted upon them. The only obvious method is to shoot the same kind of ammunition that is shot by the compet ing houses in the big cities. This am intuition is called advertising. Every small town now has it's local weekly newspaper. which practically every body in the town and its outlying ter ritory reads regularly. Every good sized town has its daily paper. These are the guns which the local merchants must load with the proper sort of am intuition if they expect to fight the competition from the outside.
 "1n many towns the merchants have discovered this fact and are lombard ing the enemy furiously. Reports of the battle usually show that the bom bardment is effective Of course a mere scrap of ammunition. charge of bird shot, won't do much good, but a few cannon balls will show results. Those who hold that advertising doesn't pay do not know how to advertise. They are bad marksmen. They don't shoot straight, or perhaps they use am intuition that is too ancient. People like to read advertisements that are up to date and striking. Nobody is going to get ahead in these sharply competi tive days unless he keeps wide awake and always has his gun cooked ready to shoot when the game is in sight"

If tkc Tree Falls, What Of the Ivy

VI ti'S GC dl!Sy what Of li!S iNJ We hear q great deal about the mod ern girl developing mannishncss, inde- pendehee and losing her femininty. A great many people are much alarmed because girls are not trained. as for meriy, in Nonanly gentleness. It is beautiful figure of speech to describe the feminine character as the ivy which eiines to the masculine oak fo, support aud ill return covers and beau tifies it's hiieous knots and sears. But if the oak falls what becomes of the ivy?
 There is too much of this ivy clinging and Identifying idea in training girls. They should be taught that it Is just as necessary to be independent. to be self supporting as to be able to cling and beautify. In other words. they ought to be able to stand alone if the tree falls and not go down with it. Success Magazine.

Flies,

The astonishing abundance of flies during the latter part of the summer is accounted for by the estimate made by an eminent entomologist that the progeny of single house fly in the course of one summer will number 2,0SO,32O. If it were not for the in- numerable enemies provided by nature for the destruction of the fly, the whole air would be filled by the end of Au- gust with swarms of flies, which would render life insupportable.
