A WORD TO AovearIsE RS
And Store Keepers in General About
-. One Way to Overcome the ....,s;s
ssN "Store Eviln

Plow deeper, Mr.. Adler. Texas has
had hard time with the boil weevil,
thae industrious little beetle that eats
up the product Of the cotton fields. A
recent writer In Success" has es.
timated fifty million dollars damages
In one year. The farmers we're at their
wits end. They began to. plow the
land deeper to urge the cotton to an
early maturity and harvest 1t before
the weeyils multiplied enough to de-
stroy 1t.
There Is an advertiser In little
eastern city of about 1900 population
who has been troubled by ''store evil"
almost as difficult to understand as the
boil weevil and which begins its work
OF trade destruction early in
the game like the little boil weevil
This merchant was annoyed greatly
to find that only about 90 per cent Of
his best country trade leash customers)
were bringing in their products TO sell
or exchange In his town. He began to
"piow deeper" and have some heart
to heart talks with his friends through
out the county, and one by one he dis
covered they were selling their products
from the farm to neigh boring towns
Cgoing out of their way to reach a
market) where they could procure the
cash in payment, with which they were
sending away to the great city for what
they believed was "the identical goods"
sold by the home merchant for at least
one-fourth less.
This merchant made an offer to buy
for cash everything his neighbors
would bring to town at any time they
might come, and always give them the
highest market price" BY this means
he turned the tide and soon found quite
a number coming to him for the cash.
To these he said: Now friend, sit
down here in my office, I want to tell
you something. l have been doing as
] agreed. Now did you ever think that
part OF that cash ought to stay at
home? Don't you think am entitled
to an even chance with the mail-order
house which you are trading with.?"
Well, they hadn't thought much
about that side OF the question:. But
now they receive monthly price list
by mail from the merchant convincing
the neighbor that it is worth while to
give the home merchant chance first.
Maybe you, Mr.. Advertiser, can plow
deeper, and beat the ''store evil"

Farmers to be Furnished Cop,es Before
the Census Begins.
A great increase in the accuracy OF

con siderable saving Of the wor king

apprehensions and prejudices.n nay exist

sus are the important results expected
by the United States Census Bureau
to follow the use OF the Advance Farm
Seized dule, which has been adopted and
will be circulated, through the rural
postmasters, among the farmers
short time before the actual census
taking.
The employment Of this advance
schedule is a distinct innovation in
census methods. 1t is the logical and
practical outcome OF the Census
Bureaus persistent effort for some
time past to give the farmers clear
and comprehensive knowledge of the
farm census questions and to induce
them to keep written records OF their
farm operations and equipment In
readiness for the call Of the enumer.
ators, beginning April 18th next.
Postmaster-G General Hitchcock has
promised the assistance OF his depart
ment in the effective distribution of the
schedules, and he will issne instructions
relative thereto to the rural postmast-
ers. They will be required to address
and forward to the farmers receiving
mail at their Offices the advance farm
schedules supplied them by the enumer.
ators.
In a note to farmers on the front
page Of the schedule, Census Director
Durand states:
I'm accordance with the act OF Con-
gress, the census of the population and
farms OF the United States will begin
on April 15, 1910. On or soon after
that date an enumerator will call at
your house for the purpose OF obtaining
the required information concerning
your farm.
"Many OF the questions which will
be asked you concerning the equipment
and operations OF your farm cannot be
accurately answered by you without
considerable thought and the making
Of careful calculations or estimates.
Therefore, this form has been sent to
you in advance, so that you may study
the questions at your convenience and
have the answers written down before
the enumerator comes.
you are earnestly requested to read
this form and instructions carefully, to
write down the answers to all questions
that apply to your farm, and to keep
it until the enumerator comes. By
doing this you save yourself much
time and contribute greatly to the
success OF the agricultural census.
"Besides the information concerning
your farm, the enumerator will also
ask you the names, ages, and other
facts concerning the members OF your
household"

It's awfully quiet.
Possibly no event could cause more

ment may come sooner than has been

To m&Sy in the party the operations

factory were as as much of a novelty as
anything witnessed during the excur-

ped mill and the visitors were shown
every detail In the process of manufac-

ing OF the flour and water, the powerful
machines which press it into the various
forms OF macaroni, through the drying
lofts to the packing department, and
lastly the box making department,
which Is not the least of the wonders
there. The factory has an established
trade and the best possible proof Of
the company's success is the fact that
large addition to the plant is under con.
sideration.

on which they were voyaging, one
Of the brothers tied himself to q

fell exhausted and was washed: over

him in that terrific TEMPEST but the
remaining brother lis. said to have

the mast and dropped into the sea.
The act in the'face OF the conditions
was little short OF. suicide, according

DIRT GAVE WAY

IN HEART OF ATLANTA

>NS etAe eAN OkASA
Badly Injured.-One Man Buried
Fifteen Minutes Came Out Alive
and Uninjured.
In Atlanta one white man and one
negro were seriously injured and
three other negroes instantly killed
Thursday morning, about s o'clock,
when a large wall Of dirt gave way
and caved in upon them at the cor
ner Of Pryor and Houston streets,
where a deep excavation is beiag
made, preparatory TO putting up an
eight story hotel.
The men had just gone to work
and several wagons were used for
the purpose of hauling the clay out
Of the big excavation. One of the
wagons was right under the wall be-
ing loaded with the clay, when sud-
denly and without the slightest warn
ing or noise the large mass of dirt
probably IL feet high, broke loose
and fell upon them with q heavy
thud.
Their fellow workmen and many
bystanders rushed to the pile through
which only a wheel of the wagon
and the face Of the white man was
visible and the work Of digging the
victims out was Immediately begun.
o. c. Upchurch, the white man,
who lives at $50 DeKalb avenue,
was the least injured, as his head
was partially out Of the dirt and
while the pressure of the dirt was
great on his body, he was able to
receive q small amount of air which
sustained him until he could be got
ten out. ..
Two Of the dead negroes were bad
ly mashed and the third had nearly
every bone in his body broken and
his head was entirely orr from his
body and gotten out of the heap
several minutes after the trunk.
One Of the most remarkable es-
capes OF any of those who we're not
killed vas that of Will Owens, a Ne
gro, whose home Is in Macon, but
who has been living at Atlanta for
some time. The rescuers were fully
fifteen minutes In, reaching his head
which was completely buried and
he was totally unable. to get his
breath during the time, but: he re-
gained consciousness before being
carried to the Grady hospital and
