Hutchinson Leader: A number of
farmers are planning to build silos
this season. The few who have them
already say they have increased the
yield from their cows close to 80 per
cent and that they would now as
soon think of running a farm with
out silo feed for winter as without a
pasture for summer. 1t may be
noted right here that one of the
best silos on the market is built right
here in Hutchinson by the Stearns
Lumber Co.
Billy Mailer was stung last week
when he went to hear lecture on
the American Boy and heard the
lecturer give Springfeld's largest
industry a tongue-lashing. Spring
field supports ten saloons, and when
a crowded house filled with it's citi-
zens who pay good money to hear
about the American Boy, get along
with it red hot temperance lecture
The Advance thinks the lecturer is
taking an unwarranted advantage.
AS the Advance concludes, Should
a temperance lecturer bill the town
and advertise that an admission fee
of 35 or SO cents would be extracted,
he would direct his TRADE to many
empty seats"

Among the medicines that are recon-
mended and endorsed by physicians and
nurses IS Kemps Balsam, the best cough
cure. For many years it has been regarded
by doctors as the medicine most likely to
cure coughs, and it has strong hold on the
esteem of all well-informed people. Whe n
Kemp's Balsam cannot cure cough we shall
be at loss to know what will. At druggists

MAKE ADVERTISING WIN BUSINESS

One principle of successful advertising,
as practised by department store ad.
writers and other specialists on publicity,
is to give definite descriptions Of the goods
offered. When a merchant uses such
phrases as "The best is the cheapest" and
biggest assortment aud lowest prices, I"
he convinces no one. The reader argues
that anyone can use these catch words
and tIlat~they prove nothing.
Try instead 10 help your readers get q
mental picture Of your goods. For this
purpose try definite and detailed. though
very brief description. Get mauufac.
tureis Of your lines 10 give you some
definite facts about how the goods are
put together, so that you can give some
real reason Why goods are superior. Pick
out some special bargains, describe them
as above indicated, and put in the price
and the real vaine you believe them to
have. Don't huther shcnt fiwerY Ian
guage. What the buyer wants is c,'ld
facts. 'Reaaon why" advertising is y hat
brings the buyer around.
Prices are tile best argument Of ail.
0fteutimes all that is desirable is a word
or two Of description, with price and real
value in big type.

REMAnKABLE CEDAR OF wAsHIHaroN

An extraordinary illustration Of the
almost imperishable nature Of WasI.-
ington's red cedar is furnished in some
shingles recently cut in a Washington
mill and sent East for exhibition pur
poses. These shingles were cut from 8
moss-covered cedar log lying on the
ground, and which had growing over it
another cedar tree, tie roots Of which
encircled the fallen log. Tie growing
tree had 750 rings, which Indicate, &C.
cording to the accepted theory, that it
was $50 years old. Yet it's growth started
after the tree from which tie shin
giles were cut had fallen to the ground
Here was cedar log which had lain ex-
posed to the weather for not less than
$50 years, and ,et was free from rot to
the extent that merchantabIe shingles
could be sawed from it.

POULTRY L1KELY TO Be HIGH

There seems 10 be every indication that
poultry will bring top notch prices this
season, as already there is a noticeable
ecsrcity OF turkeys, ducks and chickens.
Usually Western turkeys are pouring iu.
to the market by this time, the Object of
the shippers being TO get their poultry in
early 30 as to catch the first buyer. But
this year it is different. Shipments have
thus far been very small, and well known
poultry houses, having representatives in
different poultry sections, state that their
agente report great scarcity Of poultry
in the sections which can generally be
depended upon to furnish the greater
part Of the country = supply.
As result OF this scarcity, turkeys are
now selling at 25 cents apound, and With
out doubt, by the tune the rush of
Thanksgiving buyers come along. turkeys
will bring al least 80 cents a pound. OF
courses these are the prices that the re-
tailers are getting, but the whole price is
not much below this. Last year turkeys
could be purchased easily for IS cents 4
pound at retail, and many poultry raisers
sold their goods at a LOSE, but the situation
is very diffsrept this year, and il is more
than likely that abe poultry rairefs will
get good prices.
The high prices already existing for
turkeys are to be found for ducks chick
.sns. guineas and geese. and il the present
situation continues, il is likely that this
year will see the high mark for the
products.
But while high prices now exist, and
are likely to continue uHtii aiser the
holidays, unless something u present un-H
forseen should occur. not ell poultry
raisers viii secure the benefit uf fsuch high
prices. The reasons ior tbis fact are
simple and easily understood There
are many shippers of ponltry who take
the greatest possible care to have their
poultry in good marketable shape, well
dressed. clean and attractive looking, and

Peter; and be prodded it again.
Why should ] leo through itY
I've told you the pin was on the
table!
You'd better just turn out the
jool case, sir, said the detective.
With every appearance Of
warm impatience Mr.. Eppstein
unlocked the jewel case, opened
it, displayed two trays full Of
jeweIed pins, studs, and buttons.
Then he drew out the drawerfull
Of watch chains ;and the cleaning
emerald sparkled up at his as.
founded eyes. Why? Whats How?
How did it get here9 he gasped;
and horror and amazements strug-
gled for the possession Of his
face.
Look here cried Lord Cartrell
In a rising voice. Do You mean
to say you've made this internal
fuss upset the house-annoyed
every body accused Brown Of
theft-and your beastly pin was
here all the time? What do you
mean by it, sir9 What do you
mean by it? He ended in a roar;
and an indignant outcry broke
from the guests on the thres-
hold.
IL can't think! never put
it there /! Swelp me, never did!
cried Mr.. Eppstein.
The veins stood thick on Lord
Cartrell's. purple brow as be
plowed through his guests, as
through a football scrimmage, to
the head of the staircase, and
roared down it, jackson! Jacksonl
Order a carriage to take Mr.,
Eppstein to the station! Send
up his man to pack at once! At
once, do you hear? Do you think
I went to be standing here all
day?
He was not really standing; he
was dancing heavily.
Really, Eppstein, you ought
to be more careful, said Peter in
a paiued tone; and be left the
perspiring grocer prince mop
ping his brow in the enjoyment
of the feelings of one who has
kicked away the ladder by
which he is climbing before
he has reached its top.
Peter drew Colonel Brown
down the stairs with him, after
his painting father, and said
briskly, Now's your time! Strike
while the irons hot! Ask the
governors consent now. He'll
be dying to take it out of Manner
culus for this upset. Eppstein
was her friend.
Right you are! said the Colonel
with equal briskness; and he fol-
lowed Lord CartrelI to the smok-
ing room.
Lord Cartrell received him.
with an air Of savage gloom. I
suppose you want me to apollo
gize for the fellow, he growled.
I can't think what my wife wants
with such outsiders in the house.
But when he heard the Colonels
business, his face slowly bright
ened. His infatuation for his
wife was for the moment in
eclipse; he was burning to go
contrary to her dearest wishes;
and he gave his consent with a.
grim joy. Lady Cartrell came
down to tea, her headache banish-
ed by the discovery of the emer-
aid and the departure ofits owner
to learn that her guests had al
ready overwhelmed the lovers
with good wishes, and thought
ful Peter had wired the tidiugs
of their engagement to the Morn
ing Post.
