BARGAIN BUYERS
TELL THEIR CHOICE
WIDE DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
REGARDING WHICH WAS THE
BEST BARGAIN.

What constitutes bargain?
What is the essential thing about one
bargain which should distinguish it
as better than others? These ques-
lions seem to have perplexed Daily
World readers in writing about the
dollar bargains as much as the World
staff in selecting the prize winner
But on one point the judges were
clearer than the contestants: The
prize was offered not merely for
choosing the best bargain advertised
in the Friday World, but rather for
giving the best reason for that
choice. Consequently, the verdict
may not be popular. The bargain
which received the most approval
was 'The Youths Companion" Of
fer of one years subscription by the
Crescent. But many of the con-
testants wrote little more than mere
ly to indicate their choice without
sufficiently explaining why it was
superior to all the other bargains.
1t may be said, however, the follow
ing two letters were very thoroughly
discussed before they were supplant-
ed by the winners: Youths Compa-
MON is best bargain, being we'll
known, reliable, uniform in quality,
not shopworn, damaged or old stock;
and sold regularly at small profit -
(Signed Mrs. M. M. Fitch.
Youths Companion at the Cres-
cent is the best 81 bargain because
it always costs $1.75, and is the best
family paper known" (Signed)
Flossie Webster.
1t was still more difficult to choose
between two other letters, and it was
finally decided to double up the
prize and give one for each of the
following letters: ''The Wenatchee
Furniture Company offers the great
est bargain. On sixteen yards of car
pet, would save four dollars. Car
pet lasts seven years" (Signed)
Mrs. H. Homer.
par value considered, together
with the fact that it can be utilized
by more people in general, Little &
Wetsels offer is the best" (Signed)
Geo. W. Boyd
One remarkable thing in connec-
ton with the contest is that nearly
everyone of the bargains was select
ed by some one of the contestants. 1t
was also a peculiar coincidence that
no two stores offered the same bar
gain. Another puzzling fact Is that
some of the bargains least mentioned
in the letters were most in demand
for the dollars at the counters. Par
shall's had a big run on the s pairs
of regular Csc hose for 81. The
Bazaar sold fifteen So pictures at 81
each. The Little-Wetsel company
wrapped up 1900 lbs. of pot roasts in
12-lb. packages.

Competing Service.

Now that the st. Paul and the
Hill lines are to run through pas
senger trains to the northwest the
Hartman lines and the Northwestern
are figuring on service to compete
with them. Under the terms of the
st. Paul's preferential contract
should additional trains or additional
cars be put on over the Northwestern
Union Pacific-Southern Pacific route,
the ST. Paul could demand an equal
number of cars from Chicago and
thus Offset the measures taken to
meet its own competition. This, of
course, would bring about an i'm
possible condition. On the other
hand, should Hartman decide to
meet st. Paul competition by means
of the Illinois Central to Omaha and
then the Union Pacific-Southern Pa
cific roads, the Northwestern would
be bottled up at the Missouri river.

DESTROY THE POTATO BUGS.
How TO Get Rid Of These Destructive
Little Pests Of the
Garden.

For the family potato patch the
quickest way is TO hand pick the old
bugs. The bugs may be easily caught
when torpid early in the morning. One
bug. IL is said. will lay several hun
dred eggs. BY gathering the bugs
there will be few worms. When the
young worms are found in the heart
OF the potato vines the best method Is
TO dust with paris green and plaster.
One tablespoonful or pure paris green
mixed in one peck of dry plaster will
be enough to dust one-quarter OF an
acre of potatoes. When the worms
are in the small foliage surrounding
the blossoms and when the worms
are half grown and are spread over
the leaves twice this quantity must be
used. Two dustings Will be neces-
sary TO kill the first and second
broods. Buy the best quality OF paris
green. Old green or green that has
been exposed to the air is nearly
worthless for killing worms. Use
plenty OF dry powdered plaster. The
plaster IS excellent TO increase the
growth OF the vines. The best time TO
apply the mixture is early in the
morning when the leaves are damp
from dew.
