Nova Scotians pride themselves on

why bluenose?" was the question
put TO one young woman whose home

why, after the bluenose potatoes,
of course, she said, and | think its
mean to name people after potatoes
Now. It's true that next to apples
potatoes form the greatest product of
the rich Nova Scotan soil And it's
also true that the bluenoses is the
bright particular star among the varie-
ties Of potatoes they raise in Nova
Scotia.
But the potatoes were named for
the people, not the people for the po-
tatoes. It's a simple question Of
chronology.

THE BLUFF WORKED

His Offer OF Gift Of $1,000 Organ to
Church Established His Credit
As Good Man TO
Tie To.

! There is prosperous merchant IN
Chicago today who owes his success
to his donation of $4,000 organ to a
church at time when he didn't have
money enough to buy a hand organ
| This donation was a case Of bluff, pure
and simple, but the bluff worked and
resulted in the subsequent wealth OF
the lucky buffer
John Smith was seeking capital to
start in business for himself, but as he
had no security worth speaking OF he
could not borrow the money he
needed ~
When he had tried every person he
could think of who would be likely 10
have the necessary cash and the in,
clination to lend it and had been
turned down. he conceived the idea OF
presenting his church with an organ
Young Napoleon John Smith there
fore ordered his organ and allowed the
future to look out for itself The
manufacturers of the organ never
thought of questioning the financial
standing of the philanthropst wha
was handing out $4,000 organs and
agreed to have the instrument set up
In the church on time
OF course J. Smith was not a bud
that was born to blush unseen, nor did
he hide his beneficenCe under a bush
ell He managed to bring in at leasi
the flute stops no matter what the sub
iect Of conversation. Not only did the
young Napoleon advertise himself byI
means Of the church organ, but the
pleased minister and The equally
pleased congregation spread the new
of his gift

ing it. so that all were anxious to take
stock in ]. Smiths company.
Long before the time came for the |

business and was doing SO well he had |
