MARKET DAYS IN TOWNS.
Successful Plans to Entertain Visitors
and Attract Trade.
d. NJ. CARR.

How to attract trade to towns is N
question that interests every business
man. There must be some attraction
for people OF the surrounding country;
some entertainment to please. Many
means have been put in operation by
different towns to bring about the OBJ
jects desired. The people of the small
er towns in different western states
have inaugurated street carnivals, fall
festivals and similar enterprises to
entertain people from the surrounding
farming sections. These methods
have been universally successful, and
have resulted In bringing trade to the
towns that otherwise would have gone
elsewhere. Not alone this, but the
residents of the rural districts are
brought in contact with the city peo.
pie on friendly basis and harmonious
relations established that are highly
desirable.
In many towns market days have
been established. From early spring
until late in fall one day in the month
is set aside for market day" For this
occasion bands of music are engaged.
balloon ascensions, baseball games,
races and similar attractions are en-
ployed TO interest the people. All these
are free, the expense being borne by
the business interests of the town.
The farmers are invited to bring to
the town their horses. cattle, hogs, In
fact, every product that they have for
sale. and the same Is auctioned of to
the best advantage. On these market
days all kinds of articles can be had
at bargain prices. Each storekeeper
makes special efforts to offer bargains.
and generally the sales are enormous.
A few enterprising small towns that
have adopted the market-day idea
have become noted for many miles
about as lively trade centers and take
trade away from territory in the neigh
borhood Of less enterprising towns.
The market-day idea is worthy of con-
sideration by business men In small
towns who desire to pursue an mex
pensive method Of attracting trade to
the place.

DUTY of Good Citizens,

Is the mass OF such men that are the

flguratively, the mainstay and the
rock upon which the nations are
founded Whoever lives in com
munity and fails to support the pub
lie institutions and does not assist in
the building up Of industries that add
to the greatness Of that community. is
like an alien. While he lives one
place, his heart is in another. He is
not the ideal citizen. for he is not in
harmony with those who are his
neighbors. 1t Is the duty of every
resident of town or community to do
his utmost to advance its interest.
BY thus doing he not alone assists
himself, but his neighbors, his town,
his county. his state and his nation.

The vogue Of the short skirt has q
great deal to do with the strong de-
mand for attractive footwear this
season.
Though the shoes and hosiery shown
for the long skirt are perhaps more
elaborate than they have been for sea-
sons, yet the woman in the short skirt
Is more particular about having her
footwear fautless.
A surprising number OF smartly
gowned women are displaying high
French heels and sheer silken hose
with gowns Of ankle length, while
others prefer the Cuban heel and hose
q trife more substantial.
Low shoes will be worn as long as
the weather permits, and, from one
extreme to the other. the high ooot
will take it's place.
Suede boots having Is buttons are
shown and are one of the sensational
innovations for winter.
Judging from the display In the
custom shoemakers' windows the ex.
tremely high shoe will be the fancled
style during the winter season.
