Advertising Pays Him.

Pinkham, our genial buggy and i'm
plement man has found out how to
get rid OF buggies. He has been a
wide-awake advertiser ever since he
entered the mercantile life of our
city and has built up business sec
ond to none thru advertising in var
ious ways. Three weeks ago he in
serted a large buggy ad in The
Chieftain and it brought such excel
lent results that he repeated il the
following week Then he rested on
his oars, but found that to be mis-
take, so last week tried the buggy ad
in still larger form. He sold six in
two weeks from an expenditure of
less than S. and thinks it cheap
enough. Advertising is repetition
that's all You must keep saying the
same thing over and over until peo-
pie just can not forget the facts.

No Dull Season.

The Chieftain has more business N
the job printing line than we had
during the holidays, and we thought
we were going the limit then. 1t
isn't all local work, however, for our
reputation for quality in printing has
spread thruout the whole state. We
have three large jobs in now from
Canyon City, two OF them being
books. We also have stationery out
fits in at the present time for three
banks. This has been our speciality
for several months and our equip
ment is the only one in the Arkansas
valley outside of those in the very
large cities that is able to turn out
this class Of work in a satisfactory
manner. The requirements of banks
are for the highest grade OF work,
and our shop is the one that fills this
bill

A Good Breakfast Necessary.

A good breakfast is the physical
basis of days work. The American
breakfast, regarded with so much
horror on the European continent,
has contributed largely to make our
nation what it is today. 1t enabled
our forefathers to do an amount Of
work which appals foreigners to con
template, says Walsenburg World
As a rule there is something wrong
with the man or with his habits if
he cannot eat good breakfast. A
man who works at high tension all
through the morning hours without
substantial foundation is working en-
tirely upon his nerve That means
disordered nutrition and sooner or
later collapse
If man gets up in the morning
with bad taste and no inclination
for food it is because his system is
full of waste and his circulation Of
obstruction. Let him make radi-
cal change of his habits and train
his digestive organs to accommodate
a nourishlng morning meal
One OF our exchanges says: The
easiest action in the world is said to
be fault finding. Anybody can find
fault but some cannot quiet it. 1t
would be like stopping some peoples
breath to stop their fault finding.
And we fear that great many do
not allow their christianity to in
terfere with it. They don't consider
it sin, and perhaps it isn't for
them"

The Progress Of the Negro.

1t not infrequently leads the Negro
people to believe that the majority of
the Southern people do not want them
to succeed. Let us consider for a mo-
ment the facts in regard to the prog
ress of the Negro:
The Negro people have made as lit
tie progress in the farming districts
as elsewhere in the South. There is
more ignorance there than in the cit
les, and the transition from the system
OF forced to free labor has gone on
more slowly there than elsewhere.
Notwithstanding this fact, in 1899,
when the last census was taken, Ne
gro farmers in the United States own
ed something like 1888 square miles
Of territory, an area nearly as large as
that of Holland and Belgium combin-
ed. In other words the Negro farmer
in the forty years since the abolition
of slavery, starting with no capital
and no education has come into pos
session Of tel ritory as large as that
upon which Belgium and Holland sup
port 100000 Of people. That GER
tainly indicates that the Negro has
made progress.
No one denies that before the war
Negro labor was highly valued in the
South, since the larger part of it's in.
vested capital was in Negro slaves, the
assumption that the Negro laborer
was less efficient laborer in freedom
than he was in slavery would lead US
to expect that the Southern States
were going backward instead of for
ward since the war. But the fact is
that in the year 1904 and 1905 this
country produced 11,768,00O bales of
cotton. whereas in 1880 tho cotton pro
duction of the country amounted to
| only 2,223,781 bales. And yet the
rough work Of cultiyating and picking
| cotton is still largely in the hands Of
| the Negroes. The difference is that
| twenty-five per cent. Of the farms
worked by Negroes now belong to AMI
are cultivated by Negro farmers. 1t
would have been hard to find a South
ern white man in 1865 who would not
nave said such thing was impossible.
While ! am considering the question
or the Negro farm laborer, let me
| quote the opinion of the late Prof N.
