The who succeeds must till his job full
that he bulges little at the top; where people
can see him. The successful store must do the
thing, only in different way.
The goods must be on hand the prices must be
right; the service must be commendabIe the trading
must be square; the kind Of square that has four
equal sides and four right angles
Every successful store has its trademark whether
the merchant knows il or not. It's advertising and its
service have created public sentiment in its favor
which neither fire time obliter-
ate. Nine times out of ten this trademark is the
stores biggest asset
Much Of the ordinary store advertising is hand
to- mouth sort of business an effort to make tomor
rows sales equal to todays Yesterdays; and this
IS just as true Of the department store Of the small
er shop. The advertisement appears in the morning
and the merchant figures out the net results in the
evening 1t is true that the bargain advertisement
Of today is Of little, if any, next week 1t is for
gotten in twentyfcur hours; but if the store makes
feature of genuine bargains, then each bargain sale
helps to advertise the bargain department The
advertising ought to be done in such way as to
permanently advertise the department well to
emphasize the bargains of the day.
Don't 60 at it as if you we're advertising an
auction sale AS said the outset your store is the
seed in the so the advertising is the rain and The
sunshine. inexperienced advertisers dig UP the seed
every evening 70 see if it is growing; pull up the
young plant by the roots because it didn't bear fruit
or flowers the first week
II is safe to say that not more than one thru of
the people are looking for bargains the other two
thirds are looking for quality and style The very fact
that the goods offered at bargain prices leaves the
Impression that there is something wrong with the
quality Or that the style is a season behind Good
advertising should enable merchant to sell $50 coats
at $25 instead Of SIS coats at $3.50 in other words
It should create confidence rather than doubt AS in
stocks and bonds, the securities quoted above par are
always more desirable in the thought of the investing
pubic than are those quoted at a discount.
Advertising is 4 tremendous force which in action
contradicts all mechanical laws The circumference
and speed and working power increase, while the
motor remains the same
Make your advertising continuous. This is the
first great secret Of success Copy and medium and
circulation are all subordinate to keeping everlastingly
at it.

AS Alex and reached the second

grave and quiet, and he nodded COM
prehendingly when he saw the safe.
will you come with me for mo-
ment, Miss Innes?" he asked soberly,
and on my asserting, he led the way
to the east wing. There were lights
moving around below, and some OF
the maids were standing gaping down.
They screamed when they saw me,
and drew back to let me pass. There
was a sort of hush over the scene;
Alex, behind me, muttered something

without ceremony. Then I realized
that a man was lying doubled up at
the foot of the staircase, and that
Alex was STOPPING over him.
AS I came slowly down, Winters
stepped back, and Alex Strengthened
himself looking at me across the
body with impenetrable eyes. In his
hand he held shaggy gray wig, and
before me on the floor lay the man
whose headstone stood in Casanova
churchyard-Paul Armstrong.
Winters told the story in a dozen
words. In his headlong flight down
the circular staircase, with Winters

pitched forward violently, struck his

think adds to their keeping qualities.
Other apple growers say that if the
apples are packed in good, solid bar
rels, and shipped in ventilated cars,
that the fruit will reach the market
in perfect condition.
Apples shipped in barrels are pro-
tected from dirt and dust far better
than if packed otherwise. From a
healthful standpoint also. the apples
are less liable to become affected by
impurities if packed in barrels than
if they are exposed through crate
stats.
Furthermore, in packing apples in
barrels the shipper does not have to
contend with shortage claims, since
the barrel is the only package that is
practically inaccessible. Barrels are
more easily handled, and at the same
time will hold more fruit than any
other packages used in the packing OF
apples.

Hunters Kill Big Grizzly.

The monster grizzly bear that for
years has been making many sleepless
nights for the farmers, miners and
residents of the northwestern Trinity
region has at last been slain.
This monarch of the forest and
slayer of small domestic animals was
killed by Thomas Mcdonald, a wealthy
mining man who has been camping
along the Salmon range in Trinity.
Single-handed Mcdonald, who is a
mountaineer of marked ability. killed
the bear after a lively tussle.

nually by our insect enemies is at the
lowest estimate $1,00O,O00.
This is a large sum to pay for neg
lect, yet such is practically the case,
for If growers were able to identify
the pests and apply suitable RENE
dies the greater part of this loss could
be avoided. Unfortunately. a majority
OF those who do not follow fruit grow
ing as a business are unfamiliar with
the various insects, and for that rea-
SON the damage Is often done before
the presence of the pest is known.
The plum gouger is closely related
to the plum curculio. Its work is
much like that of the curculio, but 1t
also inficts additional injury. and for
this reason is often considered a more
serious pest than the latter.
The plum gouger is also a snout
beetle, but differs quite materially in
its distinguishing characters. 1t is a
lighter brown than the curculio and
considerably larger. The curculio has
two pronounced humps on it's wing
covers which are not to be found on
the gouger.
Like the curcuIio the gouger spends
the winter in the adult stage. Early
in the spring, the adult feeds on the
buds and leaves. One of the greatest
injuries is caused by the adult beetle
during the Towering period. 1t cuts
hole through the calyx of the flower
and then eats the ovule which would
ultimately become the fruit. The
flower then withers and dies, and il
this way the insect destroys a great
many fruits.
Its second injury as previously
stated resembles that of the curculit

The Hardy Gooseberry,

The gooseberry and the currant are
the two hardest bush fruits which are
cultivated, and the gooseberry, like
the currant, succeeds in all parts of
the North, although the hardy goose
berries are confined to the varieties
derived from the native species and
to crosses between the native and the
European. The European varieties
are only grown successfully in favor

are very subject to mildew.

Lettuce in Cold Frames.

A great many gardeners now have
crop OF lettuce started in the cold
frames. The plants are likely to suf-
fer during the fall months unless the
grower is faithful in watering. Growth
may be forced by the use of nitrate of
soda either dry or in water. When
used in water it is customary to dis
solve about one ounce of nitrate in
each gallon of water or three pounds
in 5O-gallon barrel. Protection with
sash will not be needed until the
weather is much colder. Hard frosts,
however, should be guarded against,
for they retard growth, although the
effect may not be apparent at the
time.

In the packing and shipping of ap-
pies, the use of the barrel has many
advantages. A very important thing
10 consider is the fact that shippers
in the far west get more money for
their apples, because they wrap the
fruit in paper. If shippers in the cen
trail and middle states would take the

barrels to ship in, the apples would
