STIMULATE BUSINESS.

The crop failure bugaboo is not
half as fierce as it was thought.
Reports show that while part of
the oats crop is so per cent less
than last year, it will bring more
money than full crop because of
the advance in price.
The early corn may be not as good
as it might have been, but the rain
is making the late corn promise an
excellent crop.
The wheat yield was not microscop-
ic by any means.
R. d. Worell says when business
shows a tendency to become slow,
that is the time to advertise more.
That advertising is the life of trade
and when trade shows atendency to
become sluggish, stimulate 1t with
plenty of printers ink.
II you are taking exercise to
overcome the acquisition of avoirdu-
pois, that gives you a Taftian ap-
.pearance would you stop exercising
simply because you were growing fat
ter when you knew that II you stuck
to the exercising long enough II
would have the desired effect?
Advertising Is "A study and there Ia
much more in II than many mer'
chants realize.
II they would spend a part Of each
day informing themselves In regard
to the right kind of publicity they
would find their cash register would
soon require a new bell and the
cashiers fingers sore on the ends
from ringing up sales.
We believe in advertising.
All advertising doesn't pay ever
as all medicine doesn't cure.
But there is the right kind of ad
vertising just as there is the righ
specific.
How is the time to increase you
advertising and make business bette.

CALLAWAY COUNTY GHOST
DISCOVERED FAMOUS RACER
OF THE KINGDOM SPORTS

Ghosts have their places in the
history of every section of the coun-
try and to that in Missouri referred
to as the Kingdom of Galloway"
one story comes forth which deals
with the discovery of famous race
horse through these epheral citizens
of the dark.
David Judy, prominent citizen Of
the Kingdom in the early days, was
returning to his home from days
trading in Fulton He was mounted
on his stallion, Castor, of thorough
bred lineage. His purchases during
the day--in addition to liberal quaint
ties of conversation,-inclu bolt
of Canton flannel which was tied on
the back of his saddle.
Passing Richland burying ground a.
a late hour, Mr., Judy's attention was
attracted to an object in the grave
yard and as he glanced around he
spled what appeared to him as a
ghost.
Old Castor was asked to get his
rider from the spot and he did at
such speed that horse and rider
were soon at Mr.. Judy's home where
it was discovered that the ghost
was merely the Canton flannel which
had become unrolled and trailed be-
hind.
The scare had the effect. of demon
strating Castor's great speed and
the following season he vas raced
with great success. Many of the
older citizens of Callaway county re-
member well Mr.. Judy and his race
horse Castor. The stallion, after
his racing days were ever was used
in the stud and many of The present
good horses of this section are de
scendants of the horse that run from

virtue. their happiness, their ap-
proving conscience, their health,
their lawful children in contented
homes. while jeanette Ford is per-
haps the most miserable person on
this earth. Ten years ago the sit
uation Of this dashing Cincinnati but
terfly seemed an easy way to live.
The hardest work she did was to pee
a few hundreds off an inexhaustible
bank roll, pose for the most fash
ionable dressmakers and consume
repasts Of the most sumptuous fare.
All the delights that money could bu
or indulgence suggest fitted in swift
procession through her days and
nights. To-day she walks each morn
ing on a world which has nothing to
offer her but physical pain. mental
torture and confession before a RI
bald crowd of the most humillatlng
shame that can ever come to a
woman in this world. There is a
way that seemeth right unto man,
but the end thereof is death. There
is a way that seems easy to poor
girl with love of adornment, praise,
and pleasure-the end thereof is a
thousand times harder than any
death that honest women can die.
Happy, ind, I'd. are they who can
learn this lesson from the voice of
parental counsel and religious teach

ers now pressed In such overflowing
measure to the lips of jeanette Ford.

burned away there might emerge
some residue the primrose path has
