thoughtful persistency Of the man
who made goods.
This was few years ago. Times
have changed, with the increasing
wealth of the farmer, who has un-
questionably prospered entirely on,
of proportion to the urban middle
classes. The rural population still
comprises 10 per cent Of the whole,
but the statistics will show that the
volume of sales to this 10 per cent is
not only vastly greater than il was a
few years ago but is entirely out Of
proportion TO the relation of the rural
to the urban population.
Advertisers are realizing the in
creasing valee of the farmer market
and the esteemed agriculturist is now
receiving some degree at least of the
attention that is his economic due.
Any medium which reaches a section
of this lucrative market is one which
is being used more and more by the
manufacturers who know that the rural
market is not only discriminating but
the most generous in its patronage.
The American farmer is the most
independent and the most intelligent
on earth. He no longer depends on
the country store, if that store does
not have what he wants or has it at a
wrong price. The farmer Of today
cannot be 'flim-fammed" into buy
ing gold bricks Of any sort. He is a
keen buyer, he knows what he wants
and the manufacturer who reaches
him with the best proposition will get
his trade. Absolute honesty on the
part of the manufacturer is necessary,
certain condition precedent to any
fair business dealings. The manufac-
turer must tell the farmer the story OF
what he has to sell, and the farmer
does the rest. That is what advertis-
ing is, and everybody knows how
mnch depends on the way story is
told. That is where the manufacturer
finds both his responsibility and his
opportunity.
The Kansas City manufacturer has
an ideal chance Of reaching the most
pop1lous, generous and progressive
rural market in the United States.
The buyers are ready. 1t is for the
sellers to do the talking through the
commercial megaphones, the news
papers, the only effective means by
which the farmer can be reached

Here is where the Versailles mer-
chant needs to get in his work, in ap-

A Dream or The Ozark Hills.

On bright still autumn day, as
leisurely walked through the forest,
with no house anywhere to be seen,
through the long dim arches OF the
woods the squirrels playing unmolest-
ed in the branches of the trees, a SOL
itary hawk soaring high in the air,
the faint, far-off tinkle OF a COW bell,
the soft musical murmur of the brook,
and the many other sights and sounds
familiar to the woods, as nature made
them, set me to dreaming. Here
was land, considered almost worth
less but for the timber, the greater
part of it sold for cross ties or fire.
wood the prices for which scarcely
more than paid for the hauling, also
plenty of good building rock, pure
flowing water the year around, soil
not yet robbed of its strength, and
while not the deepest or free from
stone, yet far superior to some Of our
southeastern states where people work
hard the year round from early morn
till dewy eve, pay the fertilizer men
half they make year after year and
have barely enough left to live on till
another crop can be raised, always
oppressed by debt and the fear of i'll
health.
In the Ozark hills of which | am
speakin there are great opportunities
for the poor man, if he is willing to
work. There is timber sufficient for
fencing, building and fuel for years to
come, plenty Of pure water and ex-
hilerating air. The land, when clear
ed, will bring fine grass
But for my prophetic (') dream.

few acres Of nearly level land, adorn-
ed by neat little log cabin, stable
and other outbuildings, there is nice
barnyard with substantial rail fence
around it, chickens, turkeys, geese
and ducks are swarming around ev-
erywhere, truck patch and garden
Of goodly size abounds with melons,
canteloupes and all kinds of vegeta-
bles, while off on the opposite hillside
are small fields of oats, corn and
wheat, which the good farmer, by the
aid OF hillside plcw, has managed to
put in with but little more trouble than
his prairie brother. He has also
made terraces 10 prevent his soil from
washing away. He has planted hum
dreds OF fruit trees on his stony hill
top land, which are now bending un-
der their first bountiful crop. His
hogs are fattening in the surrounding
woods on the acorns, his cattle are
grazing on the grass OF the unfenced
range. He sells his truck, poultry,
hogs and cattle at nearby markets at
good prices. He has changed this
small tract OF wooded wilderness
(Which he bought for small price),
into productive little farm where he
does mixed farming at profit. II

ALL
FORTS FOR WAR
NAVAL STATIONS WORKING DAY
TIC COAST FOR PACIFIC SIDE.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-While the
administration is talking peace, dis
patches from all of the important ma
val and army stations indicate that it
is actively preparing for defense in the
event of war The greatest activity is
being shown in the defense of the Pa
cific coast, Hawaii and the Philippines,
and it is now pretty generally under
stood that by the first of the year ev-
cry important American port touched
by the Pacific will be so thoroughly
mined as to make a successful naval
attack unlikely.
A great game is being secretly play
ed by the active men of the war and
navy departments. 1t is like a cody
planned game of chess with the At
lantic and Pacific coasts and the Phil
ippines as the important points on the
board, and the chessmen are warships
and every other kind of material for
warfare.
Westward and to the Far East all
the moves are being made, and while
the Philippines are drawing heavily on
the western coast for defense and Of
fensive appliances, the eastern coast
is in turn being drained for the west
ern coast and here the war college is
planning most of the moves in the
games, and the torpedo station at
Newport is hard at work making
mines and torpedoes.
Right on top of the an
nouncement that practically the entire
American navy is to be assembled on
the Pacific coast late this year, comes
the additional news that every one of
the ships leaving the Atlantic will
carry fourteen defensive mines. Five
mines is considered a good number for
battleship to carry and with twenty
shipping sailing from this side of the
continent this means that $50 mines
will be transported westward in addi-
ton to all that are sent on transports
and by rail
At Newport work is being kept up
night and day to hasten the accept
ance of the submarine feet consisting
of the Octopus, Cuttlefsh, Viper and
Tarantula. Crews are even now being
prepared to man these boats as quick
ly as they can be put in commission.
Lieutenant Charles p Nelson, in COM
mand of the first submarine fleet, con-
sisting of the Porpoise, Shark and
Plunger, has taken under his charge
the men who are to go on the new
submarines They are being rapidly
drilled and instructed so that when the
new boats are ready they will under
stand how to sail them right out of
Narragansett Bay, ready for action.
All of the enlisted men at the train
ing station at Newport are being sent
to sea if they have served less than
twenty years in the navy, and civilians
are being taken in at the station for
instruction. The battleship Vermont,
NuSu ollC JOluS JllS AIlduJlC nCSI, Will
carry two hundred men from the sta
ton and between five and six hundred
more apprentices will soon go from
the station to the different battleships
on the Atlantic. 1t is the apparent
intention of the naval authorities to
bring the crew of every ship up to it's
full quota.
In addition to the two thousand de-
Tense mines a year ago, the Newport
station has three hundred mines now
ready for shipment.
