These men are at your service, if you have
line which offers them chance.
They are willing to prove by test campaign
that they can outsell any other men in the
field. d.
They can do it every time, in every salable
line. For they combine their abilities. And
this is the ablest corps of advertising men in
America.
We shall ask no contract, no commitment,
no statement of what you will spend. All will
depend on results.
We offer you this service-the service of big
nen-for the usual agents commissions; for
the price of the commonplace.
Our plea is this: Whatever is worth doing
is worth doing well
These are days Of giants combats in the
advertising field. The man who strikes with
puny stroke does himself an injustice
If you believe in big men, and want to
know how to prove our powers, ask us to
state the way.

Get Big Men Behind You

That was the doctrine of Andrew Carnegie.
And that is the secret of every great business
success.
If you have big possibilities, get big men to
fulfill them.
Get them in every department. But, above
all, get big men in advertising-in selling your
goods to the millions.
The big men are the profit makers in all
lines of craftsmanship.
You know that is true. of your road men,
who meet but few of your customers Then
how true must it be of your salesmen-in-print?
Why does one article dominate field and
an equal one remain unknown?
Why does one advertiser win enormous Sue
cess, and another in the same line utterly
fail?
Nine times in ten the reason lies solely with
the salesmen-in-print.
One employs capacity, one incapacity. One
fights with cannons, the other with arrows
And the curious fact is that both pay the
same price.
Successful advertising isn't an easy matter.
The men who can do it are exceedingly rare,
and they command the rare mans pay.
The only way to get them is to make bust
ness Of getting them-to seek and sift and
develop. That is our business, and it has been
for So years.

The only way to get their maximum service
is to have them work in corps That is how
our big men work.
A splendid example of what such men can
do is this agency itself-the largest of its kind
in existence,

public schools is one of the require
ments of the school law. Every day
farmers are realizing more the i'm
pOrtance of knowing the best meth
odS Of farming. They are no longer
satisfied to farm in a certain way be
cause their fathers did. and the farm
er who neglects to study and use
brains in his work is going TO be left
farther behind in the future than he
Is, now. A scientific knowledge of
farming cannot fail, either, to cause
one to love the work better. There
is no higher calling than farming
and the man who knows sees beauty
IN his work that lies hidden from his
ignorant brother. We hope the teach
ers of the county will not neglect this
most important study.

Durham SUM-
Mr.. r. H. Wright president of the
Durham Traction Company, better
known among his intimate friends as
Dick Wright, is developing into
right much of a farmer, in the right
way, and he is making a thousand
blades of grass grow where not one
grew before.
Il am living close to nature, and
down to absolutely pure food he re
marked to the Sun man. as the two
walked over the siXty-three acres
farm just beyond Lakewood Park, on
the Chapel Hill road, and viewed the
immense amount of work that is now
being done, that will change the face
of nature in that locality, and make all
s0illess gullies and land too poor to
sprout a pea, blossom as a rose and
look like an emerald-co1ored carpet.
Said Mr. Wright: Il took this old
worn-out looking land, hillsides and
gullies. that / could not raise sheep
grass upon. and experimental OH it
with lime, fertilizers, and planted all
kinds of clover and other things, until
last season I raised $50 bushels Of
wheat on one acre. And peas, I raised
them waist high, and got SO many
vines and straw and hay that | had to
build a two-story barn SO by 10 feet
to store the prOvender in The barn
is there to show for itself, and it is
chock full of feed stuff.
Mr.. Wright further said: Il am eat
ing bread made from wheat raised on
this former poor looking place, ground
at country mill, where it is not adul-
terated or bleached; have two COWS
that are we'll and cleanly kept, and [
get pure butter and milk. All pure.
Much of the ills Of life, | believe,
comes from the adulteration Of the
food We eat. My orchard is young and
is not bearing much. But last year l
got enough apples to make sixteen
gallons of fine vinegar, and | am not
using the acid you buy out OF stores,
called vinegar" Then in an eXclama-
ton Of glee he said See those per
simm0n trees and that locust tree up
there? / never have a persimmon tree
cut down. I am saving those to make
'simmon- and locust beer, when they
get ripe" The trees were bearing
fruit and the outlook for that kind of
beer was very inviting. -

FOR THE HOR SEMEN.

Never put a horse wet with rain or
sweat into stable to dry off. Rub
him dry with a big cloth
II is just as important to ventiiate
the horse barn as the house.
The moment you see your horse
limp, however slightly, examine his
foot You may find a pebble, which,
if it is not at once taken out, may
work into the hoof and cause serious
injury.
Use long straw for bedding, as short
stuff forms into Jumps and causes dis
comfort.
Give the horses genuine rest on
Sundays and holidays by giving them
extra feed and attention.

CANADA DOES NOT

:" REC|PROC"
CANADA DOES NOT JUMP
AT OLD "RECIPROC''

OTTAWA, Ont, March 81
Canada has looked at the new
American tariff bill and has found
nothing in 1t to enthuse over.
The general opinion expressed
in official eircels and by manu-
facturers who have been inter-
viewed, lie that the reciprocity
clauses are drawn with such skill
as to be more of q club to menace
Canadian trade than an Invitation
to mutual benefit.
While the clause in the bill spe-
cifying that the operation of the
maximum and minimum tariff
shall not apply to tariff conces-
sions made by a colony to the
mother country, the Canadian
reading of the clause makes it APP
pear that Great Britain may not
make any tariff concessions to her
colonies and still enjoy the bills
minimum rates, and that tariff
concessions between two or more
colonies of the same country will
also act as an inhibition against
the benefits of the favored clause
unless the same concessions are
extended to the United States.
Canada is now engaged in build.
ing up special trade with Other
British connections by means OIL

she Is not likely to abandon heI
efforts for the sake of any bene

"Oh, no. will let you look

are going to keep them and If the

We VIII mandamus you and force
you TO call the election, but we

The councilmen saw the point
and realized that they we're up
