hide it from birds coming down on the head; and
in getting in we pick our way carefully through
the decoys and step from the skin well over to-
ward the center, so as not to get any water in
the boxes. On the deck of the box we have II
iron decoys that are cut of on the bottom, so as
to loom up higher than those on the water, and
these we distribute around, heads to the wind,
to make the box lay level. We each have a rub
Der cloth ard an old sweater to lie on, and a

justing these comfortably. we load our guns,
cock them and place them against the side on
our right hand, taking care to keep at least two
inches of the barrels over the end Of the box, so
that in case of an accidental discharge there will
be no hole blown in the box. Long experience
in battery shooting has taught me that the long

generally swing off to one side or the other of
the stool so that they can set their wings and

TO DRAW AND HOLD TRADE

Most of u.s." said Mr.. Shovelton, ARE looking out
for ourselves; | think Wen all admit that. The
trouble with most of us Is that we don't do this
intelligently; we are always thinking of ourselves
and our own interest only; and that's where we
slip a cog. Let me illustrate:
Il buy fruit to carry home; I've done that for
well, a good many years, and for a long time |
bought around in various places. Then one day
some years ago | stopped at a store where | liked
the looks of the fruit and where as | noticed a mo-
ment later, the paper bags were a little heavier
than those | had been accustomed to find.
And when this dealer had put the fruit in one OF
these bags he didn't simply twist the neck of it
and hand = over to me SO in a form inconvenient
to carry. He folded the top of the bag over and
rolled it down to form a handle-a grip piece; and
then he tied this bundle around securely with
Irvine. thus making it up altogether into a bundle
that was secure and handy to carry.
"Of course | liked all that. and | found that he
always did up his packages so or putting ON some
times a wood and wire handle; but always he made
the package secure and handy for me. He had
some thought for me, and I've been buying of him
ever since; and If he should move I'd follow him
| would go out of my way to trade with him.
The moral is this: Any small storekeeper. II
his goods are right. can build up a trade and hold
1t and increase it IL he has the intelligence and the
human quality that prompts him faithfully to con.
slider not himself alone but as well the wants and
interests Of his customers"
