who does the business in these days of
push and enterprise. There are more
newspaper readers to-day than ever be-

wants, and. he knows where to find it
and looks up the wide awake merchant
who asks him to come and see him.

soap. Pour suds along row of peas
watch the ground closely while the suds
soak in and you will be astonished to see

do, providing no washing compound has
been used in the water.
