Uncle SAM is getting wise on one
~ point and that is that foreign coun-
tries like to have him send millionaires
as his representatives TO their lands
there to spend American gold lavishly,
but are disposed to be decidedly
niggardly when itsesmes to their rep
resentatives spending money in
America.
Secretary Root is credited with be-
ing about to turn this situation to
good account. Mr.. Root resents the
position of the foreign governments in
requiring money qualification of an
American ambassador.
OF course what ambassadors and
ministers spend here on private en-
terprises for their governments can
not be reckoned. But their entertain
ments and general mode Of living are
an open page. The man who draws
the biggest salary in Washington is
James Bryce, who gets $4,000 annual
ly and an additional $4,000 a year for
contingent expenses. Mr.. Bryce has
one of the finest mansions which the
capital can boast, completely fur
nished, with an extra fund to pay for
any necessary repairs or new equip
ment He has linen. silver and glass

The Cost of Advertising

The unawake merchant often won
iers how some rival "can afford to
spend 30 much money for advertis-

that it would bankrupt him in short
order to "plunge" into publicity on
the scale that the other fellow does.
"Tho other fellow" is not worrying
about the cost Of his advertising
for the simple reason that he doesn't
have to pay it. The competitor who
cannot "aTord" to advertise really, in
effect, pays the bills Of the man who
can afford" II.
lie pays them in the loss Of business
caused by his failure to advertise.
The business he ought to have his
"share" Of the trade IN his line
goes, in large part to the competitor
who seeks it, who can afford to adj
vertise for it. The profits on the
trade drawn away from the timid ad-
vertiser by the aggressive one pays
the latter's advertising bills-and
leaves comfortable surplus.
This is a fact which progressive
merchants are proving all the time-so
it ought to have some personal signi-
ficance to the overcautious business

fore "risking" adequate advertising
campaigns.

THE final estimate of the country 5
total corn crop for this year contained
in the Department of Agriculture s
crop report recently issued, is decidedly
encouraging. On Oct. the indicated
yield of corn was 2, 565, 292, 600 bushels,
which was "A bountiful crop. But the
indications now are that the total
production will be 2,642, 6s7, 600 BUSH
els, or an increase of 1900, 600 over
last months estimate. If this COM
putation is realized the aggregate
production in 1908 will be 80, OOOO, 600
bushels greater than in 1907.
The final estimate just issued is par
ticularly interesting because the corn
crop this year matured during the
ide-spread drought of August, which
il was feared would greatly curtail the
actual production. The result appar-
emily proves that corn may withstand
severe drought and still do fairly "'ell,
provided the crop has abundant rain in
the first half of the growing season
and occasional light showers subse-
quently. The official estimates make
the average yield of corn per acre 25.9
bushels in 1907 and 262. in 1908, while
the quality of corn this year is s6.s
per cent, compared with s2.s in 10 and
Sl.5 the average for ten years.

THE tariff hearings that have been
in progress before the Ways and Means
committee of the House have suggested
the rumor that Speaker Cannon and his
crowd regard the election as a vindi-
cation for their standpat policy rather
than a vote of confidence in Mr. Taft,
and the Roosevelt ideas, and proposes
to act accordingly.
1t is believed that this report is in
correct for it implies extraordinary
self-deception. But if it should prove
true, this prediction is a safe guess.
There won't be enough republicans
elected to congress in 1910 to furnish
a respectable procession to bury the

ENJOYS Notorious as "Tightwads''

at the expense of the British ex-
chequer, and even the liveries Of his
retainers come from the public fund.
Yet with this vast sum at their dis
posal, few people live more unpre-
tentously than the British ambassa-
dor and Mrs. Bryce. Their social rec
ord during the last winter contained
fewer events than any of the immedi.
ate predecessors. Mrs. Bryce gave
about six small afternoon receptions
during the season, when tea and small
confections were served.
There were two large evening
levees, when practically the whole Of
Washingtons official and social world
was entertained. About three formal
and pretentious banquets were given
by the British ambassador during the
winter
But little more can be placed to the
credit Of the French ambassador and
Nine. Jusserand, second on the list of
big salaries. NJ. Jusserand gets s42,.
500 a year, about $4,000 for extra ex-
penses. The dean of the corps, the
Italian ambassador, Baron Mayor Des
Planches, is almost out OF the social
running.
In view Of the loud lamentations
about what a hard time American dip
lomats abroad have to make ends
meet, 1t is said that Secretary Root
and some legislators who are in his
confidence will present the next COM

Garden City. Dec. 26.-One week

of the Woodman lodge and unfolded a
plan that seemed fair and fine. 1t was
in short a scheme to make an album
containing the pictures of the differ
ent members of the lodge and put it
in the lodge room, where It would be
kept continually. The scheme ap-
pealed to the lodge men and several
of them paid over the dollar neces-
sary to secure the pictures without
waiting for the goods to be delivered.
The scheme was also unfolded to
the Odd Fellows and one or two other
lodges were approached on the sub
ject but before the strangers worked
these thoroughly. they mysteriously
disappeared, leaving nothing in their
wake except weeks unpaid board
bill at the Ash Park hotel.
The strangers gave their names at
the hotel at Rob ]. Raymond and d.
