WHEAT IS SELLING
AT DOLLAR MARK
FROM THE THRESHER
FANCY PRICE IS BEING PAID
FOR CROP NOT YET
MATURED.
LOOKS GOOD TO FARMERS
Means Thousands Of Dollars TO The
Farmers Who Grow the Grain.
Rather Hard on the Consumer.
Some Past Prices

Dollar wheat delivered from the
thresher is not bad for the farmer.
This seems to be and is the status
of the wheat business in Maury county,
and it seems that the dollar what is
here for keeps.
A number Of the smaller mills over
the county as well as a number OF
the farmers over the county have bar
gained fer number Of crops OF wheat
, al one dollar per bushel to be DENY
cred from the thresher. One Colum-
bia mill has bargained for 10000 bush
els for which it will pay $4,000. This
does not look now as if the farmer will
suffer for the next twelve months at
least.
There was a time when wheat sold
for SO cents per bushel at the thresher,
and when the rs cent mark was reach
ed the farmer considered that he had
made good money. If he made money
at seventy-five cents per bushel, what
will he make but money at $100 per
bushel, and wheat selling at $1.OO per
bushel this far in advance Of harvest,
what will it be by this time in 1910?
There are numbers of farms in Maury
county that will thresh out thirty to
forty bushels to the acre under favor
able circumstances, and there are still
a greater number that will thresh
twenty to thirty per acre, and a field
of wheat that will average twenty
five bushels to the acre means several
thousand dollars. Some farmers
raise as much as five hundred acres OF
wheat each year or more. A crop OF
500 acres this year at threshing time
will mean at least $12,5OO to the
owner.
Under these conditions there is no
room for complaint and there cannot
be a tightness of money among the
tillers of the soil. 1t is the consumer
that is catching the hot end OF 1t all
and having to pay for the farmers
prosperity.

These men in conference work out the
campaigns that conn up to us.
They decide on mediums, selling plans
and copy. They devise new ways to
awake human interest. From all the
facts before them, they select the few
to discuss.
They consider trade conditions and
competition. They work u all selling
problems. Each, from his wealth of ex-

be sure that there is no possibility which a
Board of such men overlook.
1t costs us about ST. a minute to keep

The two men go to New York Tuesday to
securer transportation and be assigned to
their new stations in the Canal zone.
Both men are experienced firemen and
have been on the Omaha force for years.
Captain Olson has a record of continuous
service since January, 1893, while Fireman
Livingston has served almost eleven years.

No Extra Charge

We offer this service, on any account
we accept, for the usual agents commis-
sion. This brilliant staff serves all our
clients at the price of ~mediocrity.
So the best that all of these men can
do costs no more than the commonplace.
Our revenue comes through expansion.
When we make it succeed, the small ac-
count grows big. Thus scores of perma-
nent accounts are developed which any
one man might kill.
1t is cheaper for us to keep business

count fifty times over than to solicit fifty

The Absolute Need For
o-Operation

No advertising campaign can be wise
ly entrusted to any one man, no matter
what his ability.
We employ the best men that we know.
We attract them from everywhere by
salaries such as no one else pays. Yet
we do not trust even the smallest cam
paign to any one man alone.
Advertising has many pitfalls, and no
man can know them all.
Advertising deals with human nature,
with all its likes and dislikes, vagaries
and %prejudices. Rarely can one man
measure correctly the world to which we
appeal.
One man has limited knowledge, lin
tied powers and ideas. We must multiply
men to get from advertising the utmost
of its possibilities.
Where so much is at stake, it would
be rash to leave the result to a one-man
power.

Advisory Boards

So we employ, on every problem, what
we call Advisory Boards.
These two Boards-in New York and
Chicago-consist of twenty-eight men.
. Each of these men is a master of ad-
vertising. Each is a veteran of many Sue
cessful campaigns.
Each has been chosen, without regard
to expense, from the best men the adj
vertising world has developed.
Each has vast experience; each we'll
proved ability. All of them live in a vor-
tex of advertising, where hundreds Of ex-
periences constantly come up in review.
Together they become pretty nearly in
fallible.

OF doors they hurried over to old Peters

Entering the bullet ridden house and flying
up the stairs they burst into Peters bed

the Hollander snoring as If sleep were the
