Some Tricks of Trade.

Two cents apiece, two for a nickel"
said the storekeeper, and the woman
customer promptly bought two and paid
her nickel. "She never tumbled," con-
tinued the storekeeper then. Really
! didn't intend to fool her; it was
merely slip of the tongue. We get
30 used to doubling the price In order
to make sales that 1t becomes second
nature with us. Would you believe
that / tried for two weeks to sell some
canned goods at IL cents a can, but
couldn't clean out the lot until raised
them to two for a quarter? Women
are always looking for something for
nothing, something that looks like a
bargain, and we have to accommodate
them II we want to stay in business.
When we fix prices like two for a quar-
ter we can always make women believe
that they get 26 cents worth though
they really pay an extra cent. When
we sell something at SO cents any wo-
man will believe that the price ought
to be 81 cents instead of Sc or So and
therefore you will sell more coffee and
make more money II you sell two
pounds for SO cents than II you insist
on getting 2S cents pound. 1t is a
trick but It isn't our fault The ma
jority of women want it that way

"When Governor Johnson an

Hennessy, Everybody will know he
is in the race for the presidency and
not for the long distance talking rec
ord. If the Democratic party wants
a conversationalist, lecturer or win
ner of honors at the talk-fest to car
ny its standard next fall, Bryan is the
man. But if the party wants a
sound, solid, substantial, popular can
didate who is not a fanatic seeking
personal aggrandizement, Governor
johnson is the man who should be
put up. His popularity and strength
are not confined to any one locality.

Railways of Greece.

According to Consular Clerk Con-
stantine NJ. Corafa, of Athens, the total
mileage of steam railways in Greece
is S65, and their total capitalization
s42, 215,2 O9 The railways are not
owned by the government, but are built
after its permission, supervision and
control through the department of pub
lie works, railroad section. The state
shares in part of the construction, and
hence controls the passenger and
freight rates and other details. The
government participates in the bene-
fits and has the option of buying over
the roads within a specified period,
while at the lapse of another period the
railways become the property Of the
state. The motive power of the first
railway built In Greece and put into
operation In 1869, running from Athens
to Piraeus, a little over six miles, was
changed from steam to electricity about
two years ago.

AIDS CHICORY INDUSTRY.

Interest Farmers in Its Cultivation.
An increasing demand for chicory
as a coffee addition has caused the
United States Government to make Z
special effort to induce American
farmers to grow the plant (See Bull
letin 10 U. 8. Department Of Agricul-
ture).
Chicory is root grown something
like the beet or carrot, and has been
used as food In various ways Tor
centuries.
More than a hundred years ago,
during the Napoleonic wars, the con-
tinent of Europe was cut on from the
outside world. and coffee. of which
the Dutch in particular are very fond,
became scarce and high In price.
1t was found that the chicory root,
dried, roasted and ground, made
most excellent substitute. Soon many
were drinking 1t entirely. while othe.
mixed 1t with certain proportion Of
genuine coffee.
Inese people round tnat IL gave the
coffee richer, fuller flavor, and that
the injurious effects which pure coffee
has on many were entirely overcome.
Since then chicory has been erten-
sively used by coffee merchants. and
the preparation of 1t as an addition
to coffee has become large business.
giving employment to thousands Of
men. Many large factories In Europe
and several in America are manufAc-
turing thousands of tons annually.
Being as necessary an addition 10
coffee, as salt Is to soup. chicory has
come into great demand. and to sup
ply this demand the Government Is
interesting itself. 1t promises an en-
tirely new and profitable field OF en-
deavor for the American farmer.
