house full of meat, why is it?
Isn't it because you have been
too darn lazy or Indifferent (which
is the same thing) and prefer to let
some merchant in town furnish
you?
Meat can be raised for from 8
to 5 cents per pound. Hogs come
nearer being self-supporting than
any other stock until it is time to
pen them and start the fattening.
Why haven't you got some hog that
you are getting ready to make your
meat and lard from?
Get your statement from the
merchant last year and 90 over it.
See how much you have paid for
meat and lard. You have simply
thrown that much away.

Some of US never think until we
have to. and the weevil has put it
right up to US. He is teaching us
to live at home.
Now. don't read this and nod
your head in solemn approval and
say it would be a good thing, and
then hitch up and 60 to town and
buy q couple of gallons of molasses,
a sack of old musty, kiln-dried
Illinois meal. some Wisconsin flour
with the taste and nutriment all
worked out of it by patent pro-
cess, a side of 16-cent Chicago
meat, half bushel of Kansas Irish
potatoes and a nickel's worth of
Georgia COOLERS for the youngsters.
Instead of this you hitch up and
hunt some fellow who has some
good hogs and go buy yourself a
couple of pigs and raise them on
the slops from the house and the
nubbins of corn. Build you a
smoke house and cut a few hickory
trees out of the fence corners and
get you some wood and smoke your
own meat. Pay dollar for

own sausage.
Pack some of it in the clean in

Jet them hang In the smokehouse
and they will be good until warm
weather comes again.

sweet and Irish potatoes banked for

all amateur clubs IN that vicinity.
IT being impossible 10 play roller polo
in the gymnasium. we put our heads TO-

polo. with the exception that instead OF a
solid rubber ball we used a tennis BAN and
instead Of a hockey stick We used our
feet, but the drives we used to make with
the side Of our feet would surprise anv-

SAY CAMDEN CAN'T
RAISE THE PRICE

The latest applicant for franchise
in the Tr-state Baseball League is
Camden, which desires 10 take Winning
toms place ia the circuit. President Car
penter. Of tile Tri-State, declines to an
nounce the names Of the parties who have
made the application. but it is reported
that they have sufficient capital to carry
through the undertaking successfully.
This makes five cities which desire 70
take Wiimington's place in case the diff
ficulties regarding club here cannot be
fixed up. The other applicants for the
franchise are Easton, Shamokin, Sunbury
and Allentown.
Should Camden be admitted there should
crop out a natural rivalry with Trenton

To Advertisers
Who Want the Ablest Help

Sometimes the man is able, sometimes
experienced. Still it is one-man power.
One man never learns all the pitfalls
The ablest of men has limited knowledge,
limited ideas and experience. And hui
man nature is too varied for any one
man to average.
But our Advisory Boards, in confer
ence. rarely make mistakes. And they
rarely fail to get from advertising every
latent possibility.
Under the one-rnan way, too many cam
paigns failed to return their cost. We
know that from our own experience.
Under the New Way, most of our clients
succeed.
Under the Old Way, we made but
semi-successes. Under the New Way
our successes are the wonders Of adver-
tising.
