EVERY DAY DEBTS
WORRY FARMERS
A Banks View of What the Farmer
Most Needs And What Assist
anee It Can Give.

The thing that the farmer most
needs, is to know what TO DO that
will help him and his good wife to
meet the wants of his fardly and
keep out Of debt
The everyday living debts. worry
the farmer and his wife more than
most people imagine. Many things
can be done to relieve the wants of
the family, and the way to reach them
is for him to lay plan and work to
that plan
The plan has to be made before the
time to begin TO WORK it, and date
fixed when ne will begin. Now we
will suggest that one of the best pay
ing things on the farm is the poultry
business, the whole family can help
in this work The first thing is to
get ready for the chicken feed Now
is the time to plan for the chicken
feed, plant at once the feed that you
are going to need next fall and winter
to feed your chickens on. Some of
the kinds of feed are. millet. kafir
corn and pop corn, unless these feeds
are sown and planted in the next
ten days you will be too late. YoI
must also prepare your chicken past.
ure. Chickens must have pasture as
well as cattle or horses, and next
week we will suggest how for YOU TO
get the pasture.
II you are going to have a hundred
hens. then SOW about three acres of
millet, the ground should be well
plowed and narrowed, and well drain
, ed so that after heavy rains the water
will not stand on the ground. Sow the
millet thick enough that it VIII cover
the ground fairly we'll. and when well
ripe, cut and stack in a rick near the
barn lot, for the chickens to run to
during the winter. You can plant
your kafr corn in the ordinary way
with corn planter or with lister. and
if planted in a few days, viii not
need to cultivate it very much, one
or two plowings will do You should
be sure to raise an acre Of pop corn.

chickens than pop corn. Always man

age to have a lot of late young chick
ems, they do well if the fall is dry and
there are no dews, and every family
should have one hundred fall friers.
But some of you farmers may say,
what about the chickens? in reply
to that we viii say. get your feed
ready and then come and see The
Farmers State bank at Vinita, and we
will talk over the stocking of the
chicken farm.
To the farmers wife we will say
that we hope that you will not let
your husband neglect the chicken
feed, but will have the feed planted
and sown.
Yours truly,

VALUES INVOLVED
IN TARIFF PROBLEM
Moneys Statement Also Shows the
Amount of Indirect Taxation
Paid in America.

Washington, May -5.-That the total
wages affected by the tariff amounts
to $2.277S4S.537, and that the values
of the products involved in the con
sideration of tariff revision reach the
sum of $13.270.193,0sS is the state
ment made by Senator Money in
showing the vast importance Of the
question now being considered by the
senate.
Senator Money also has prepared
statement showing the cost of indirect
taxation to the people of the United
States. He says that the cost of gran
ulated sugar in 1906 was 2.O5 cents
more in New York than in London and
that in 1907 the United States CON
sumed Z.993,979 tons of sugar against
which the duty of S195 a hundred
pounds was charged. eQualing $780,,
777.OO2. while the duty actually collect
ed amounted to SEQ O135.lS1. making
the cost to the people above the rev
enue comected by the government S7o,-

On iron, steel rails. wire nails and
steel billets the difference in the for
eign prices and those in the United
States equals an additional tax of
more than 295 million dollars, accord.

he says. are based on a sworn state
ment submitted to the ways ana means
committee by Judge Gary of the Unit

face is, How to get circulationg The
editorial department gives him good
material-strong articles, bright sto-
ries, interesting fiction, striking illus
trations, all timely and worth while.
His publication is well printed, and has
an attractive cover. He advertises it,
puts it on the news stands, gets lists
of names and sends out sample cop
les; and at the end Of a year or two
he has few thousands Of subscribers,
who pay him, we will say, a dollar a
year. When the publisher figures out
the cost Of advertising, Of sample cop
les, Of editorial work, of printing and
illustrating, Of clerical labor for cor
respondence, keeping up mailing lists,
ETC., and of commissions to agents,
postage, and other incidental expenses,
he finds, too often, that each SUBJ
scriber who pays him a dollar a year
has cost him nearly two dollars.
How to hold circulation? Many peo-
pie buy a magazine or paper when
it first comes out, from curiosity, or
because they are interested in some
particular subject. Many subscrip-
lions are obtained at the suggestion
Of friends, or through the pertinacity
Of agents. At the end of a year some
Of these subscribers will be dead;
others will have lost their interest,
having changed their politics or their
point Of view; others will be finan-
cially unable to renew their subscrip-
tons; still others will have found
literature which is more attractive to
them, for the time. 1t is not unrea-
sonable to count that publisher runs
the risk of losing nearly one-half of
his subscribers at the end of each
yearly term. How shall he hold
them? He can offer rebates, prizes,
premiums; but they all cost money,
and they mean that the publisher is
buying his subscribers-is paying
them for the privilege Of carrying
their names on his mailing list. Pa
pers and magazines that build up a
subscription list Of a hundred thou
sand or more in the course year or
two pay dearly for the circulation of
which they boast so proudly.
Why do they do it? The revenue
of large publication is not derived
from subscriptions, but from adver-
Using. Look at the number of ad-
vertising pages in one Of the big
magazines. There will be about 100
pages Of reading matter, and about
100 pages of advertising. Each page
is worth from $500 to $780, The av-
erage revenue of popular magazine
or paper, from advertising alone, will
be not less than $4,000 a month.
That is the goal at which each pub
Usher aims-to get sufficient circula-
ton to enable him to go the big adj
vertisers and take their money away

this circulation-to keep our present
subscribers interested, and to increase
their number. In order to do this
we make A PERSONAL APPEAL.
We want each one of our subscrib-
ers to send us the names and address
es of their acquaintance, friends and
relatives, especially those living at
distance, or in other states. We will
send a sample copy of the Jeffer-
sonian to each name on the list. Then
we want you to write a personal let
ter to each, and we will pay you
for doing this work. More than that,
il you will look after our renewals,
and get new subscribers for us, we
will not only pay you handsome
commission, but we will send you
YOUR JEFFERsoNIAN FREE.
We are now getting in long lists
Of names for postcard clubs. Hun
dreds and thousands of our beautiful
up-to-date postcards are now going
out all over the country. -
BOYS AND GIRLS
Are now at work everywhere, get
ting up postcard clubs, and CORES
ponding with other members of the
Up-to-Date Post Card Exchange in
the United States and in foreign
countries. Keep up this work, and
don't forget to mention the Jeffer-
sonians whenever you write. One boy
sent us twenty-six subscriptions this
week. This means that the subscrib-
ers and the boy who raised the club
received about 700 post cards as pre-
miums. The cards will be scattered
broadcast. If each card mentions the
Jeffersonians, Thomson, Ca, we shall
get many subscribers from the work
of that one boy, and if he will see
that his name is mentioned also, we
will give him credit for every sub
scrlption and send him all the pre-
miums that are coming to him.
AN ENDLESS CHAIN.
Will you today write to one or two
of your friends, and ask them, as a
personal favor, to subscribe to the
Jeffersonian Magazine or the Weekly
Jeffersonian, for a year, if they are
able and willing; if not, for six
months or even three months. En-
close two-cent stamp in your letter,
and ask them, as a personal favor, to
write to other friends. Gather as
many names and addresses as you
can in this way, and send them to us,
and we will mail out sample copies.
