FARMERS AND ADVERTISING
Large Farm Sales Recently Held At
test That Use of Newspaper
Space Pays.

News dispatches the other day her
aided farm sale held near Emerson,
Iowa, that tofaled nearly $4,000 and
touted ii as one Of the largest public
sales held on farm in Iowa this
year. Hamilton county, however has
at least two farm sales which beat It
and in each instance by so per cent.
The John Sloane sale held near Blairs-
burg totaled 81 500 and the John Ely
farm sale held near Webster City ran
around $4,000.
In point of attendance, however,
the Emerson sale will probably beat
either of the Hamilton county sales.
The Emerson farmer spent 5000 in
advertising his sale and considers he
got the worth of his money, for 1000
people attended. In case of the Ham
ilton county sales probably not over

5000 been spent doubtless the crowds

ADVICE FOR SMALL
CITY MERCHANT
BY WIN. c. FREEMAN.

A clothing merchant, operating in a
city of $4,000 inhabitants, is doing a
business of $4,000 year on an ed
veYtising expenditure Of about 1000
q year.
He wants to expand his business
and asked me how l would go about
It When he flashed that $1,000 year
~ expenditure on me-which is less
than three per cent. of his gross bust
ness-I advised him to multiply his
advertising expenditure by three.
In the general talk We had | asked
him about the chances of increasing
his business in his communicative
kind of merchandise he sold and the
earning ability of the people in his
community.
was surprised when he told me
that he sold more $40 and $25 suits
than he sold of the chaper grades.
He said he buys the best material
he can find-clothing that bears the
labels of honest manufacturers. He
holds a special sale twice a year to
clean up the odds and ends OF his
stock-the rest of the time selling his
goods at fair percentage of profit.
He was as frank a man as have ever
talked to.
/ pointed out to him that he could
use one full column advertisement
every day except Sunday in all of the
papers in his town, including page
at the beginning of the season and a
page to introduce his special sales in
January and July. at a cost Of about
5000 a year
He could also use the weekly papers
in the counties adjacent to his own
town, with a quarter page space every
week, at cost of from $500 to $1,000.
This would make his total advertising
appropriation about $4,000, or per
cent. OF HIS present gross business,
and such an advertising policy could
not fail to increase his business.
This story is told in the hope that
it viii be help to merchants in the
smaller communities who want to do
more business
Any clothing business, during its
growing stages, can afford to pay 3
per cent OF its gross business for ad-
vertfsfng. as an investment, and the
percentage of cost will grow less as
the business grows. -

THE PASSING OF BOB TAYLOR

Many heart will grieve to know
that Bob Taylor is no more, that tn =
genial senator from Tennessee has
.assed over the river.
The loss is not only to Tennessee
but to every section of the nation, for
his name was almost a household word
in every state in the Union. A name
which did not conjure up to the mind
the face and figure of a colossal in
tellect but the jovial friendly form OF
one of Gods own gentlemen.
For, first of all, Bob Taylor was a
friendly man, a man who welded
more good merely as a man than he
lid as a statesman. 1t is from his
many popular lectures and writings
probably, that he will be best remem-
led, as many of them have found
their way into print to be recorded
permanently.
Those who had no opportunity to
SIT WlIulH luc vi IOD 10y ava -
-oice and hear him deliver one Fl
his lectures, filled with the laughter
and pathos of everyday life, and see
him mould a vast audience for the
time into unity with his own CHEEKY,
optimistic view of life, NAL still have
the pleasure of feeling much the same
spirit as they read the pages of The
Fiddle and The Bow" and other lee
lures he has left.
1t was no compelling great mission
upon which he came into the world,
but it was a friendly one, and the man
who adds even one little bit to the
sum total of sympathy and friendli-
ness in the world has done much to-
ward making his life worth while. The
versatility of his genius, too, is re-
freshing and inspiring for all man
kind.

REEVES MEMORIES OF AN OLD
FEUD.

There is much similarity between
the Roosevelt-Taft ruction and he
Blaine-Harrison quarrel of twenty
years ago. Many of us will remember
that Mr. Blaine thrust aside the pres
idential prize when it seemed to be
within his grasp and virtually dictated
the nomination of Harrison. Later he
became secretary of state under Har-
rison, but differences arose between
the two; largely of personal nature.
and Blaine was induced by his friends
to enter the field as a candidate for
the nomination.
His announcement, however, was
made too late, and then as now he
power of the administration with the
officeholders, particularly in the South,
was the determining factor in secuf-
ing the delegations which renominat-
ed President Harrison at Minneapolis.
Then, too" remarks the Hartford
Times, 1.-The vice presidential nomina-
ton played no small part in the cam
paign. Mr.. Morton was left off the
ticket and Whitelaw Reid substituted
This did not prove wise change
There is a point of similarity be-
tween this action and that in 1910
when Vice-President Sherman was Sc
dected by the republican state COM
mittee of New York to be chairman 9t
the Saratoga convention. The tenn
pestuous Roosevelt did not like the
choice and with the aid of President
Taft. expressed through the federal
officeholders of the state, Roosevelt
was able to control the convention ana
humiliate Mr.. Sherman.
Now there is talk of putting Sher-
man on the shelf and naming anoth-
err running mate for Mr.. Taft. il
seems that in several respects hlsto-
nv is repeating itself in the campaign
of 1912. and it remains to be seen
whether the result in November VIII
be as disastrous for the republicans
as it was in 1892.

BAG IS
PRACTICAL AND''PRETTY
(By Elizabeth Leo

The Quaker bag that has made its
appearance among the spring novel
ties is a thoroughly practical affair in
every way! 1t is very convenient to
carry, commodious, and lastly, the
homemade article will suffer nothing
my comparison with the bought bag.
The shape of the bag is best describ-
ed as being very similar to the long
knitted purse in vogue ever so many
years ago. Any kind of material IS
suitable, as linen, silk, brocade, Turk
ish toweling, ribbon, net, lace, and
velvet. This being so, it will be quite
possible to have bag to match every
gown, because there will surely be
enough material left over, while the
construction is quite within the skill
of any girl who knows how to use her
needle.
The directions are as follows: Take
a strip measuring from q to SO inches
long and from IL to Is inches wide,
according to the desired size of the
bag, and cut a similar strip of thinn-
err material to form a lining. Bring
the long edges of each together and
sew them up, the lining separate from
the other covering Leave long slit
in the middle of the seam. Now place
the lining inside the covering and
gather the short ends, securing firmly.
This done shirr the ends of the cover
in the same way and finish with an
ornamental. i,
Turn under all edges at the slit and
slip-stitch lining and outer case to-
gether. Lastly, buy celluloid ring Cat
any notion counter) large enough to
slip the hand through and cover it
with a narrow ribbon shirred, the
color of the ribbon to match or harm
onize with the goods. The bag is slip
ped through the ring, and is then
ready for use.
This is also known as the bracelet
bag.
fancy all-over English eyelet EN-
broidery lined with pretty silk might
make a very dainty finish to a cos
tune which included frock of tai
feta and lingerie with hat to match !
Then l should like a white linen para
sol in English eyelet showing touch |
Of silk in the chosen color.
The bag would carry out the quaint
dea suggested by the toilette better
han any other shape l can think of.
! can also fancy very charming
costume for a girl or young matron
made of white wolfe embroidered N
,alest pink wild roses (only just a

a leghorn trimed with wild |,
blossoms and faced with black velvet.
This would be at once dainty and
PRACTICAL.

4 OLD MOTHERS \

Century Magazine.)

/ love old mothers-mothers with
j. white hair,
And kindly eyes, and lips grown softly
sweet
With murmured blessings over sleep
ing babes;
There is something in their quiet
grace
That speaks the calm of Sabbath
afternoons;
A knowledge in their deep, unfalter-
ing eyes
That far outreaches all philosophy.
Time, with caressing touch, about
them weaves
The silver-threaded fairy-shawl of age
While all the echoes of forgotten
songs
Seem joined to lend a sweetness TO
their speech.
Old mothers-as they pass with slow
timed step
Their trembling hands cling gently to
youths strength;
Sweet mothers-as they pass, one sees
again
Old garden walks, old roses and old
loves.

BACK To WASHINGTON.
The President Starts on His Return
Journey Today.

Poland Springs. Ne, Oct. 25.-After a
vacation of nearly two months, Presi-
dent Taft starts back today to Wash
ington to take up the labors of what
he expects will prove a busy winter. His
plans for the return trip have been
changed and instead of taking a motor
ride of 175 miles from Poland Springs
to Boston, over slippery, muddy roads,
he will board his private car at Danville
Junction, five miles away, and start his
journey southwark.
The president is not due in Washing
ton until Sunday morning, for he has
a speaking engagement Saturday in
Cambridge Springs, Pa, and will turn
west at Boston to keep it. Mrs. Taft and
Miss Helen Taft, who motored north
with the president from Beverly, will
return to the summer capital for a few
days, and Y Ill join the president in
Washington in time to accompany him
to Cincinnati, where he is to vote.
Mr. Taft had a quiet day here. He
played golf and returned to Portland to
address the Maine Teachers associa-
ton. He got back to Poland Springs
in time for dinner.
The Maine teachers gave the presi-
dent a rousing welcome
In addressing the teachers the presi-
dent said he had learned the value Of
teaching in the Philippines, when he
was governor general.
He told of the importation of 1000
American teachers and their successful
efforts not only to instruct the Filipino
children, but to show thousands of
Filipino men and women how to teach.
The president drew a parallel be-
tween the teachers and government
employees, and said both should be
taken care of after they had spent the
active years of their lives in efforts to
serve. He said:
What IS to be done with the teachers
VINO devote their lives to instruction at
low salaries, compared with the cost of
living, and then reach the time when
they must quit? We must devise some
scheme in order that they may do ius-
tlce to a profession that 1 regard as
one OF the highest and most important
We should see to it that teachers who
nave served should not be thrown out
with nothing to live on when they have
passed their stage of usefulness
The president offered no solution NJ
the problem of retirement on nensfon
for teachers. but said he favored a
pension for government employees who
are superannuated that would be con
tributed partly by the EMPLOYEES an6
partly by the government
