Adyics Given by Agricultural College
Experts.

Here 10. what the 1nduslriallst.
the paper Of. the State Agricultural
College, says about advertising farm
sales land the college people are In
close touch with the needs Of farm
ers in Kansas:
Did you ever attend . public sale
when a pretty small crowd show
ed up and the articles sold went at
low pricef Ever calculate what
the owner lost by mot properly adj
vertising the sale? How many
hundred or thousand per cent re-
turn would he have received on q
few dollars spent in newspaper adj
vertising Wouldn't the return
have been worth while? Ask any
sensible man who has advertised his
sales. He'll tell you.
Men who have made study Of
the question have said that not more
than one-fourth Of the rural public
sales are properly advertised. Gem
orally the farmer has few sale bills
printed. He runs the same copy"
in the local paper once and the adj
vertising campaign is ended. That
is poor management, for 1t Is obvious
that the more the sale is advertised
the larger will be the crowd, and a
larger crowd usually means better
prices. A farmer especially the live
stock man would drive fifteen or
twenty miles to a sale where stock
that he needed was to be sold. Hence
the Importance Of extended newspa-
per advertising.
The amount the owner can afford
to spend with the newspapers to
advertise an average pubic sale,
would vary, Of course, with the quail
1ty and kinds Of stuff he has for
sale, but 1t should never be less than
fifteen or twenty dollars. For larg-
er sale the amount should be larger.
For the farmer with a speciality, and
all farmers should have some special
line, such as fine stock or seed or
fruit or vegetables, systematic and
intelligent newspaper advertising is
absolutely essential to success. Pub
licity Is necessary, and the cheapest
and best method Is in newspaper
advertising. Don't make the mistake
Of advertising only when you have
something for sale. II you are a
Poland China hog breeder and have
no hogs for sale now but will have
In the spring keep caro- in the paper
and tell the people when these hogs
will be for sale. II you don't they
will forget about you and your hogs
and send off to a man in the other
corner of the state who does adver-
Use. The man who expects to have
something for sale cannot afford to
let the people forget.
Newspaper advertising, when fig
lred on the basis of the number of
people 1t reaches, is absurdIy cheap.
md 1t brings greater results than
in equal amount of money spent in
publicity in any other line. This
Idvice is absolutely disinterested;
his paper takes no advertising at
my price.

"AUT T. R. AUT NULLUS. "

Theodore Roosevelt has been characterized
the most sklful opportmist of contemporary
history, and at present he is more concerned
with the Outlook" than with immediate politi-
cal action. Doubtless the. Colonel. always
ceedingly sensitive to the trend of public
opinion, realizes that reaction has set in
against political agitation and that the people
looking for constructive legislation rather
than destructive policies. A few more months
and he may yet be labeled IA ''reactionary' by
the progressivcs who refuse to step forward.
Meanwhile, the sage of Oyster Bay turns deaf
ear to those who would seduce him from his
professcd naction We find the devoted
Pinchot convinced that the most strenuous ten
MS player of them all will not serve next year.
Meanwhile, also, there some foohardy friends
who cry Justify, "Aut T. r. Aut Nullus.
There was an ant-raft dinner at Youngstown
last week and concerning the Ohio lawyer who
was toastmaster and put on the rousements for
Roosevelt the Washington Post remarks: HE
held office under Roosevelt, and he does not hold
it under Taft" Another and bitter anti-Taft

BEWARE THE MoNGOOSE.

One little mongOOse held in captivity at the
Kansas City geological gardens has caused such
cOmmotion that the president Of the United
States has been called in to pass upon his fate.
He is most exclusive mOngoose, for he is the
only one alive III the United States. According
to the information which was in all seriousness
brought to the presidents attention, the mon
goose is in incompetent hands, and is
likely to gain his liberty at any time.
1t is obviosy Important that steps should
be taken Immediately to that this mongoose
does not gain his liberty. There are enough
menaces running loose about the country il
according to the agazines-without the
additional menace of roaring. ravenouS, muir.
derouS ntongoose roaming the vast distances be
tween the Atlantic and Pacific and seeking
whatsoever it may devOur
If this particular mongOose is now in III
competent hands" as is alleged steps should be
taken to place it i'll competent hands before Il
is too late. Should it prove necessary the en-
tire United States army should be rushed tt
Kansas City and ordered to surround that mon
goose. If reinforcementS are found necessary
the secretary of the navy should come to TIT
rescue and order the Atlantic fleet moved t.
the danger zone drays. While there is tn
danger of a mongoose being turned loose in thi
free United States there is time for temper
ling 1t is up to the governors Of the diferen
states to muster the various national guard on
carnations to be prepared for an uprising o
the, lone mOngOose. In case of this sort ther
is doubt that call will bring together near
Iy million stalwart sons of Uncle Sam, read
to lay down their lives to keep that mongoOs
safe in the cage at the Kansas City zoologica
gardens
Judging from the concern that is eXpresse
over the possibility Of that mongoose escaping
