Farmers who do their own
butchering should post themselves
on the terms of the new federal law
regarding shipment of meat. 1t is
also necessary before a carcass can
be shipped outside the state where
it is killed, for the farmer to make
a formal certificate setting forth the
date of the killing, the condition of
the animal when killed and giving
other data. Otherwise no express
company or railroad freight can
carry it over a state line. 1t is
necessary to get regular govern
meDt blanks for these certificates
from some meat inspectors Office.

Tertiary: When your boy doesn't
want to go to school, let him loaf:
when he gets into mischief and your
neighbors report it to you, curse
them, in the presence of your boy;
do not reprimand the boy. When
he gets little larger and purloins
something of value and you find it
out, just laugh at it and let it go;
when he gets into anything that
calls him to justice court and he is
found guilty, pay the fine, curse the
court and jury and every one con
nected with the matter, pity the
boy. and you will soon have a
splendid candidate for the pen.

The merchant who gives the
same attention to his advertising
that he does to his sweeping, dust
ing and replacing stock will never
argue that advertising doesn't pay.
The man who argues that advertis-
ing doesn't pay is the man who
would neglect to attend to it. No
doubt if be would leave his store
for a month without changing the
goods he would conclude that it
doesn't pay to keep store. Adver-
tisIng is an expense, but if it doesn't
pay large business houses would
never expend thousands of dollars
annually to push their trade.
According to a notice received
from the postoffice department at
Washington after March 1st it will
be permissible to write messages on
the front, as we'll as on the back,
of a private postal cards. This
order does not apply to the govern
ment postal cards, which can be
secured at any postofice for one
cent. A large number of private
postal cards have a picture on the
back which covers it completely.
For this reason the cards are divided
into two sections and after March
1st writing on the left one-half will
be permissible. The right one-half
will be still reserved for address
only.
