PROPERLY ADVER-
TlSED PUBLlCSALES
Auctioneer Says Farmers Do Not
Realize Value Of Advertising
Their Public Sales.
RESULTS ARE UNSATISFACTORY
Merchant Spends $50 to Tell Of Special
Sale Amounting to $1000-Farmer
Spends $500 for $4,000 Sale

The Jefferson Bee says the farm
ers of Greene county are awakening
to the notion that advertising pays.
When a merchant plans for special
sale that he estimates will bring him
$1,000 worth of business he does not
consider $25 or even $40 too much to
spend to let the people know what he
is going to do, and what he is going
to sell. When farmer is going to
hold a public sale, the proceeds OF
which will run from $1,000 to $4,000 the
same logic is applicable.
An auctioneer in neighboring
county says that nobody understands
the value of advertising any better
than the auctioneer. Experience has
taught him that poorly advertised
sales are the hardest to cry and the
results as rule are the most unsat-
isfactory to the owner There are no
men who can use advertising more
effectively than the farmers who are
holding public sales. 1t must also
be said that few men lose so much
money through failure to appreciate
the value of advertising and the ne
cessity of spending money for it as
the farmer.
1t is true that sales are advertised
more than they were few years ago,
but still they are not advertised as
they should be. The average farmer
should advertise his sale to the eX-
tent of SIS and there are times when
he should exceed even the above
amount. Yet there are men who eX-
pect to sell property and who think
they have advertised literally when
they have stuck up few bills. They
save a few dollars by so leaving the
newspapers out, but one additional
buyer would more than pay for all
the advertising. An additional bid on
their horse of $40, or the establishing
of IS higher average on their COWS
would pay for all the advertising and
more. The average newspaper is
read by hundreds of prospective buy
ers whom the bills might never reach.

err, when it is raining or in times OF
extreme drouth and hot winds. Silage
is good feed daily, both in winter and
summer When grass is ready in the
spring and feed, that remains in the
silo can be covered and will keep I'M
til needed, when the summer drouth
comes.
Silage furnishes a green, succulent,
appetizing feed through the winter,
the same as grass through the sum-
mer. 1t keeps the animals system
in as good condition as when the
stock is on good pasture and feeds
given with it are better digested.
Corn makes the best silage. Kaffir
corn, milo and sorghum follow, their
value being in the order named.
Green pea vines. husks and cobs from
the canning factories make good ma
terial to put in the silO.
In continuous rainy weather alfalfa,
clover and other hay crops may be
saved in the silo. The corn farming
sections of the southwest will be as
thickly settled with comfortable farm
homes as in the northern corn belt
whenever stock raising drouth resist
ing forage crops and the silo are
adopted, instead of exclusive grain
farming.
Every live stock growing district in
the United States needs the silo. The
general use of the silo will make the
high priced small farms of the corn
belt profitable growers as we'll as fin
ishers of cattle and sheep.-H. NJ. Cot

College Literary Societies.

The pupils of the Denison Normal
and Business college are not only
making good advancement in their
studies, but are gaining decided cul
ture in expression of thought and abil
ity to think from membership in
the two literary societies. Those
noting in some regards the crude eff
forts of the students at the commence
ment of the school year and then their
present efficiency felt that marked
improvement has been made. The so
cieties make change of officials once
in five weeks and by this means about
all the members are given an oppor
tunity to preside or take official lead
ership in the exercises. The election
of officers in both societies took place
Tuesday evening with the following
results:

valuable medium of advertising the
public sale will be admitted by any
one who gives the matter a little
thought. The cards and bills are all
right and should by all means be
used, but the territory they reach is
limited. If no advertising was done
at all not even the nearest neigh
Dor would know that you were going
to have a sale.
But it is the newspaper that gives
the most valuable advertising. The
farmer thinks nothing of driving Is or
20 miles to attend sale if in read
ing over list of stock offered he sees
some horses or cattle which he thinks
would suit him, and it is these farm
ers who live several miles from the
sale who would not learn of the bills,
but must depend upon the newspa-
per for information concerning it. He
sits in his home and reads the de-
scription of the property that some
one at considerable distance is offer
ing for sale and makes up his mind
to attend. And that kind of visitor
is worth dozen who come for the
purpose of visiting and with no defin-
tie intention of buying, unless things
are extremely cheap.
The farmer who is going to have a
sale should look we'll to the adver-
Using.

WOULD Use STATE
AUTOMOBILE TAX
Autoists Over Iowa Favor Building
Crushed Rock Roads With Mon.
ey Derived From Auto Tax
WILL Be BEFORE LEGISLATURE
With This Method Rock Would Be
Transported to Various Points
at Iowa's Expense.

An effort will be made at the COM
ing session of the legislature by auto
mobile clubs and owners to have the
motor tax devoted to improving the
highways in the state. The plan was
devised by F. J. Tishenbanner, of Gil
more City, Iowa, and is known as the
Tishenbanner plan.
Mr.. Tishenbanner proposes to have
the state furnish crushed rock, free
of charge, to various points. The res
idents in these localities are to re-
move the rock from the cars and dis
tribute it on the roads. The expense
to the state would be covered by the
part of the automobile tax that is used
for road purposes.
The idea is meeting with high favor
among the automobile enthusiasts.
The Sioux City Automobile club and
The Sioux City Tutomobile club and
Speedway association is heartily in
sympathy with this legislation, and it
will probably lend assistance. The
plan has been approved by G. w.
Clarke, governor-elect; Gov. B. F.
Carroll. P. G.. Holden, professor Of
agronomy at Iowa State college, and
others.
Crushed rock can be delivered,
freight prepaid, at the different sta
tons in Iowa at an estimated cost OF
$3.50 yard. With LAO yards of
gravel or crushed rock, one mile of
road can be constructed at cost of
s1,17O. A road ten feet wide requires
1900 yards of material, and would
cost $3.50.
Tax Nearly 100000.
The tax on automobiles in the state
of Iowa will amount to nearly $780,
coo this year, and is increasing at the
rate of 100000 year. The auto
owners believe the time is ripe to get
some sort of legislation through for
better roads, and the majority of them
advocate the plan as outlined by Mr..
Tishenbanner.
The subject will be discussed at
the annual convention of the Iowa
State Automobile association, which
meets in Waterloo November 10Th
and goth. 1t is proposed to elect a
committee to present the road bill to
the next general assembly.

GREAT WASTE IN
FARMING INDUSTRY
Independent Farmer Claims that Near
" 40 Per Cent is Not Realized
in This Country.
THE siLo is THE ONLY REMEDY
Stalk and Leaves Contain 40 Per Cent
Feed Value and in Most Cases
They Go to Waste.

The greatest waste in any single in
dustry in this country is made Will
the corn crop.
In ripe corn plant 60 per cent o.
the feed value is contained in the ker
nels and 40 per cent in the stalk anC
leaves. With the grain worth $1,000,
100000 the feed value of the rest Of
the crop is $1,0OO,OOO,OOO.
At least 80 per cent OF the feed
value of the stalk is lost under the
present system of farming-a waste
with this crop alone of almost $1,000,
100000 yearly.
No other business but farming could
stand such an enormous loss.
In the middle states most Of the
stalks are saved as fodder and there
are many silos, but with the damage
from Weathering, the waste in hand
ling and the loss in digestibility the
farmers are very far from utilizing
the full feed value of the corn stalk.
In the corn belt where the bulk of
the crop is raised comparatively few
corn growers harvest the stalks, and
the only returns most of them secure
from the forage is pasturng the dead
stalks in the cold and storms of win
ter. Frequently the death of stock
pastured in the stalk fields makes a
loss that far exceeds the returns from
the feed.
Contrast this waste by the corn
grower with the practice of large bust
ness organizations. For years the
great packing houses have sold dress
ed meat for less than they have paid
for live weights of the animals. Yet
every year these packing houses re-
turn millions of dollars profit because
they utilize to the fullest extent the
value of their by products.
The Standard Oil company takes
crude oil into it's refining plants, puts
it through costly processes, using ap-
paratus that requires an outlay of mil
lions, pays the freight and delivers the
kerosene and gasoline direct to the
consumers at lower rate than is
asked for mineral water, where the
only expense is to run the water
through pipe from the spring into a
bottle.
At the same time the corn growers
are wasting most of 40 per cent of the
feed value of over 100, 100000 acres OF
corn.
The silo provides the corn grower
with the means of utilizing this larg-
est portions of the feed value of his
entire crop, grain and forage. The
whole crop can be stored economical
" in the silo in compact form. The

DEAD MAN ELECT
ED TO OFFICE
Candidate for Supervisor in Carroll
County Dies After Name Has
Been Printed on Ballot.
RECEIVES MAJORITY OF VOTES
Court to Decide Quest involved in
Election Growing Out Of the
Death of Candidate.

Over in Carroll county the court
will be asked to decide question Of
who's Who?"
According to the Herald A. A. Pat
ten, of Sheridan township, republican
candidate for county supervisor in the
last election, has retained c. G. Hell
mer and Lee & Robb as counsel to
contest the result as declared by the
supervisors as canvassing board.
The facts as stated last week are:
v. C. Schirck, the democratic candi-
date, died the night before election,
too late to have another name printed
on the ballot. In the voting next day
some knew of the vacancy on the dem
ocratic ticket and some did not. The
result was that Schirck received the
normal democratic majority of votes.
Now the question has risen, was there
an election?
1t is contended in behalf of the re-
publican candidate that he was the
only living man running for the office,
that the voters could not elect dead
man, and that Patten received all the
votes cast for the only living man
running for the office. \
The case is peculiar one. Had
Schirck died after the voting had been
begun there would have been no doubt
about it, there would have been no
election Such a case has been ad-
Indicated, but having died before the
voting began, Patterns lawyers say a
new question has been created.
The term of H. B. Haselton does
not expire till January, 1913, and
there will be no vacancy on the board
until that time. But the issuance
of the certificate would naturally be
disposed of at the present session of
the board.
There is prospect OF the whole
question coming before the district
court.

Washing ton April 29.--The under
current of Bryan talk il congress is
becoming stronger aud stronger. 1t is
coming to be widely talked anonS
house democrats that Eryan is likely
to be the no;ninee OF their party for
president.
This talk took on m Oh impetus when
Bryan visited Washington the other
Gay out it existed before that. The
situation is such .;lat numero1s demo-
Gratis in congress, espe cia}iy in the
house. are coming out in advocacy OF
the nomination OF Bryan. or. if not do
ing So openly, are quietly endorsing the
IDEA.
The feeling that Bryan is the best
nan for the democrats to nominate
against Roosevelt, in case the latter is
nominated, is apparently gaining IN
house ana senate. And it may be added
that large numbers of the democrats
have settled down to the belief that
Roosevelt is going ~ be nominated.
THIS le.lef has been growing on the
democrats since they have been study
ing the returns from Illinois. Pennsyl-
f.ust Have Strong Man.
Moreover. the showing made by
Roosevelt, in those states WAS such as
TO convince the democrats that if they
have to combat Roosevelt thru cam
p;eign they viii have to put their best
campaigre. forward and man who
will get the support of many Of the
radical and progressive voters. IN

Roosevelt, it is argued furthermore in
Rrvar's favor that the conservative
elements of the democrats party would
not shy at him as they have done in
past campaigns.
The fact that the democratic candi-
dates ere numerous and that IT begins
to look as tho it would be difficult
to get two thirds OF the delegates for
either Wilson. Clark, Underwood or
Harmon is. OF course, contributing to
the booming of Mr.. Bryan.

Mr. BRYAN is not openly seeking a

signs that can not be entirely over
looked BY the political wiseacres. 1T
. is noticeable that Bryan has so far
not committed himself to any canoi-
date. He has helped the Wilson cause
a little and helped the Clark cause
little The result of what he has done
is that both Wilson and Clark have
much strength and may succeed event
ualy In killing off each other. 1t may
not lie Mr.. Bryan has sought to bring
about this; situation but there is no
doubt he has contributed to il at least
: unintentionaIlv. a word from him
against either Clark or Wilson would
have undermined support by the radl-
cal wing of the democratic party for
the candidate so assailed. But Mr.
