A Lesson in Buying.

A Kansas paper tells of a farmer
who went into his village hardware
store to buy an ak. Being shown the
article and informed that the price
was $1-15, he said: why, I can buy
that ak from a mail order house for
80 cents" Very well,' said the hard
ware dealer, Il will give it to you for
the same price provided that you will
do the same with me as you would do
with them All right, replied the
customer, as he handed over dollar
bill and the merchant handed him
back ten cents in change. Now" said
the hardware dealer, L want 25 cents
more to pay express charges" which
the purchaser gave him. How much
did your ak cost your" "S1.15," the
man replied Every good; now give
me five cents for money order fees
and postage which the purchaser had
to hand over Now how much did
your ak cost your "S1.20.'' Not so
cheap after air. said the merchant,
whereupon he picked up the ak, tossed
it back on the shelf and told the Gus
toner to call for it in ten days, as that
would be as soon as he could get it
from a mail order house.

The extension department ! of the

sending out to all farmers institute or
CARNATIONS the recommendations for
this years work with the boys. For
two years about 5000 Kansas farmer

ening. Fathers, teachers and county
superintendent unite in saying that it
has had a wonderful effect upon the
individuals in the contest and in whole,
schools and communities. The change
now made in the plans, it is hoped,
