in coffee), until / got so bad I had to

could eat only boiled milk and bread;
and when I went to the field to work

lowered by hitching a good horse or
team to a rope which passes from
the top Of the drum down through an
auxiliary pulley and from there to the

regular floor pulley for the hay fork
rope. After the rope passes through
the pulley the team may travel in
any convenient direction.

A northern visitor in the south tells
the following story to illustrate the
t~aciturnity of the southern negro.
He had asked Steve, a typical darby
of the region, numerous questions con

each the negro gave the invariable re-

Steve" asked the somewhat exas-

say No, sir'?"
The negro blsnked his eyes indolent-

There is Always Ready Response
to Advertising that frankly makes q
bid for business-that gives straight

house must be made very clear in

must be no question about the truth
told concerning the merchandise.
If merchant would only bring the
same amount Of Judgment and Intel

policy as he spends upon the selection
of his merchandise. advertising would
surely make him big success.
Every merchant owes it to himself

"One of the greatest difficulties con-

ment in that Its greatest results are
its cumulative value. However the
results fromthat advertisement should
not be figured from one sale only,

"All that advertising can do is to
bring new customers, or rather
should say it brings people to store
or establishment, as the case may be.
1t is up to the salesman to do the
rest.
"All business resulting from an ad-
vertisement, whether received at
once, or later as the direct results Of
the advertisement, should be credited
properly. Advertising men find that
