SOCIAL LIFE EASILY MADE TO

But do you think the great mass OF
those accustomed to the rush and
gayety Of city life would DO contented
In the countryy"
There is no reason why each
try settlement should not become a
social centre. Country dwellers have
always been noted for their spirit Of
neighborllness and good fellowship.
They are acquainted with zach other,
while people living in the same block
In the city do not wen bow.
All that any country town needs Is
a little individual enterprise to weld
It's many social units into a harmonious
whole: some one to build a club house
or start a village Improvement society.
Women have no longer any reason
10 object to country life. The chain
work OF trolley cars and telephones all
over the United States has removed
the curse OF isolation. The new labor
saving machines have robbed the farm
homework Of its terrors. The newest
fashions and fsds reach the woman
In the country almost as quickly az
they do her city sister.
Then just take the matter OF pure
food" DR.. Wiley would not neglect
his FIRST love any longer. "Of course.

There are certain so-called advan-

modern methods OF lighting and cul-

on earth why all these excellent things

tremendously abuse their " natural
advantages explained DR.. Wiley.
They are careless about drainage and
plumbing. They permit their wells to
become contaminated. They shut out
the fresh air from their homes and
they eat improperly cooked food.
III city jewellers were given the
chance to live in the country I doubt
IL they would make those mistakes.
Often they know a great deal more in
theory than they have the chance to
put into practice. They sleep with their
windows open. for instance. but they
live in such crowded quarters that the
air Is almost never fresh and pure. II
these people could get out in the coun-

healthy themselves, but they would
probably raise the standards Of health
among the rural families"

shrewdly took advantage OF this sus-
ceptibility in the recent durhar. It
knew full well that the perfect riot
of color. as seen in brilliant uniforms
and dresses, the stirring sound OF
music from massed bands, the
marching of thousands o. troops with
flashing bayonets, the booming OF
guns and the rattle of musketry
would impress the people with a
sense OF Britain's power and might.
But very wisely the government
has not contented itself with such a
display. The crowning of the en-
peror of the ancient capital of Delhi
has been accompanied by two mani
testoes that may do much to allay the
discomfort that has long existed
ia India. One annunoces the change
OF the seat of government from Cal
cutta to Delhi; the other speaks Of
important administrative reforms
leading to certain measure Of self
government Both acts are wise and
daring and not unlikely conservative
statesmen in England will view them
with alarm.
The decision to make Delhi the
capital OF the country will doubtless
give satisfaction 10 the Hindoos as
that city is so associated with the
ancient glories of India. Also it is to
be hoped and expected that the grad
ual comforting of political rights up
on the people may be followed with
best results. The one great Difficult
ty in this matter lies in the religious
hatreds of the people, especially as
between Hindoos and Mohamedans,
and in the sharp and intricate social
distinctions of the innumeraDle
castles.

Agricultural Department.

On the first page Of this issue we
publish from The State an outline
of facts and reports in which the
public Is much concerned because
they touch upon the antagonism OF
Governor Blease to the State Depart
ment of Agriculture and Industries
as now operated under the intelli-
gent supervision Of Col. E. ]. Watson,
who has given much attention to the
duties of the important Office he so
admirably fills. Col Watson may
not have conducted the Office to suit
Governor Blease, but we feel sure
that he has conducted it to the sat
isfaction Of the farmers and others,
who are more vitality interested in
it than the Governor
We also publish in connection with
the same matter 4 statement from
Governor Blease and Mr.. Hudson.
While Mr.. Hudson denes the state
ment that Commissioner Wat
sons place has been offered
him, he confirms the most i'm
portant part Of the story, which is
that Governor Blease is opposed to
the Agricultural and Industrial De-
partment of the State as at present
managed and the Governors threat to
veto the appropriation for it's con-
tinuance unless he is given "assur-
ance of it's doing some good for the
farmers" We have been under the
impression that the department has
been very active in helping the far
mers to get better prices for their
cotton.
1T will be recalled" says The
State, that Governor Blease vetoed
tho appropriation for factory inspec-
tors, who. under this department,
were required to see that the laws for
the ,betterment Of the condition OF
women and children In the mills
we're observed. His statement that
the agricultural department is a
farce and Of no service to farmers
will cause a little surprise, because
within sixty days he denied a request
Of Marlboro farmers to take certain
action, on the ground that he was
not farmer and was not qualified to
advise them as to their interests .
The Governor must have been taking
lessons in agriculture since ne wrote
that letter to the Marlboro farmers.

Conditions Neceszary to Success.

Conditions Necessary to Success.
Every man who advertises does SO
that it may benefit his business.
Very rightly he expects financial re-
turn commensurate with what ne
spends yet not unoften he is disap-
pointed. This is not the fault OF ad-
vertising- -liberality, attractiveness
of Advertising
AS a matter of fact three condi-
tions are necessary for successful ad-
-liberality, arrtactivenesst
and truthfullness. AS to the first 1t
must be evident to every business
man of average discernment that a
puny little ad naturally creates the
impression that the man who inserts
II does not care to DO much business
or else that he has but a poor stock.
AS to the second an ad should be
made alluring. In size, wording and
ARRANGEMENT it should at once catch
the eye and thereby focus attention
upon it.
But the first two conditions are
useless without the third-that or
truthfulness. A merchant must
make good over the counter what
he offers in his adve1 tisement. II he
fails to do this, not once or twice, but
habitually, the public puts no trust
in his representations and business
disaster inevitably fellows.
That the great majority OF mer-
chants are honest in their business
and faithfully portray the character
and quality that their goods, and OF
the bargains they offer, is unques-
toned. AS a rule they are men OF
principle and also are shrewd enough
to know that temporary gain result
ing from some misleading ADVERTISE
.ment Is sure to be followed by per-
manent reaction.
In this respect the position of a
local merchant is vastly diffedent
than that of mail order house.
The constituency OF the local mer-
chant Is limited, that Of the catalogue
house is practically unlimited. 1t
sends it's literature all over the coun-
try and thereby any misleading ad-
yertisement does not react upon it as
it would upon the business man OF a
small city or town. In truth it is we'll
known that many and perhaps most
Of the articles advertised by mail ord
er houses are. deficient in quality or
IL weight and measure, and that
their customers do not get the bar
gains they suppose.
The local merchant who should do
this would speedily become bank
rupt. He knows that to gain trade
and hold his customers he must be
honest with his customers. There
fore what he states in his advertise
ment may almost invariably be relied
upon the mutual benefit Of buyer
and seller. The one lesson is that
people should deal with the merchant
who keeps faith with them and not
with houses that supply them with
goods not up to the mark.

The indicted Chicago packers are
in an awkward dilemma. They have
been sghting persistently for delay
and naturally would like their trial
delayed until doomsday. But the
British government, which annually
buys $38,ooe,000 or more pounds Of
canned meat from Chicago packers
has just notified those same packers
that no bids will be received until
the trial Is ended. This means that
the more extended the delay the
greater the loss Of trade. On the 9TH
er hand the packers naturally dread
a trial and verdict. It seems to be a
case of "between tho devil and the
deep sea"
