Children's Fur Coats.

The tiniest tots may indulge in
coats of fur this winter-almost any
fur their mothers wear. Black furs,
such as seal and ponyskin, are not
thought too old-looking for little mites
of two or three years. The coats are
made square and plain, but are bright
ened by gay Innings and gay caps that
may be trimmed with bit of the fur
to match Ermine, beaver and broad
tail are some of the other furs that
may be used for children.
The little coats of cloth are fitted
with large collars of fur, if the moth
err does not care for all-fur coats
Revers may be added and tiny cuffs
or just stray collar may be used, as
preferred. Astrakhan, beaver, skunk
and seal are favorites for this pur
pose. The cloths are in all the pretty
childish shades, including pale blue
white, pale pink and gray.

WHY ADVERTISING
SHOULD BE STEADY
BY VIM. C. Ereeman.

There is a great difference Of opin-
ION on the question as to whether a
company should advertise or not when
Business is at high tide.
Hugh Chalmers was recently asked
by his associates why he continued to
advertise when his company's output
for year ahead was provided for. He
said:
When my company faced the fact
that We were far oversold and | still
desired to keep up an aggressive ad-
vertising campaign, was asked why
In the world / considered 1t necessary
10 advertise l told my company that
we were not in business for today only
we were in business to stay, and
that tomorrow and the day after were
very real factors in our permanent
business success. If we intended to
keep our business as active as 1t is
today, told them that advertising
was prime essential.
In every community the advertising
representative meets the merchant
who says: 81 am doing all the bust
ness | possibly can, so there is no
need for me to advertise"
recall an experience of my own
with a merchant who was on the crest
of the wave. He had been spending
100000 or thereabouts in advertising,
and his business was going along
swimmingly. He suddenly decided
that advertising was an expense, so
ne commenced to cut it down and
down, and then used irregular copy in
the newspapers.
After a period of about six months
the business commenced to show
signs of falling off. His managers pro-
tested about the non-advertising pol
icy, but the merchant was very stub
born. and stuck to it.
He said that he had been in. bust
ness a great many years; that all the
people in the community knew all
about him-that it was the fault OF
the managers that the business was
not going forward and not because the
advertising was stopped.
He changed managers from time to
time, but the business has grown
steadily less until now the total is less
than $1,000 600 annually, whereas re-
call the time when it was nearly
1000 900 a year, and 1t is just hang
ing on by its eyelids.
A merchant cannot afford to stop
advertising. even after he has estab-
iIshed big business.

GIVE THE SMALL SETTLER 4
CHANCE

Nearly $4,000 farms in the United
States-49, 604 to be exact contain
over 1000 acres each.
And therein lies the full explana-
ton of the failure of many farming
districts to improve and attain their
full possibilities.
Few men have the organization,
the capital and the equipment to OPP
crate farm of 1000 acres in such a
manner that it yields adequate re-
turns on the actual value of the land
More farms and better farming are
the crying need of the nation.
Ten farms of 100 acres each, oper-
ated by ten farm owners, yield a
vastly greater income to a community
than one farm of 1000 acres oper-
ated by single man.
A small farm owner keeps up
fences, paints his house, cleans the
weeds out of the corners of fields and
takes pride in keeping the lanes and
roads about his place in presentable
condition.
The result is a condition of general
thrift which makes a neighborhood
attractive to other farmers and en-
hances land values.
But tenant farmers have no inter-
est in the appearance of land or i'm
provements.
AS the Nashville Tennesseean
points out, they rob the soil without
1ualm Of conscience and have NJ
heart in advancing the reputation Of
a neighborhood or in improving
schools or churches
Smaller farms I'M the hands of
working farmers are the demand of
the hour, north and south alike.
Intensified farming must come in
all sections. 1t means the salvation
of thousands of families, and it als1
means the financial salvation of land
owners who are blindly holding large
tracts that do not yield even a fair
interest on the investment.
Increasingly prosperous must the
county or section be where:
Cut up the big farms.
Live and let live
Give the ambitious settler a chanc,
to make a home for himself.

the epithet radical" when applied TO
a public man was a term of bitterest
reproach; in 1870 the South was proud
of her conservatism and boosted that
she kept in her heart the ideal of tho
fathers. In 1880 the South was re-
preached for her 'Bourbonism' but did
not object: in 1890 she began to pro-
tect that she was the New South and
no longer Bourbon In 1900 she began
to find herself leavened with radical
ism-since that time she has promoted
radical theories of government and
boosted of her modernism"

"sWAT THE FLY FIRST"

"If a fly forces its way into
the house and the house catches
on fire at the same time, swat
the fly first" This is the order
in sanitarium in which the de-
lenses against flies are as we'll
considered as the defenses
against burglars. There is no
doubt that flies can carry the
germs of typhoid and other dis
eases and plant them where the
soil is favorable. We may be
immune to typhoid and con-
sumption, but if we could see
the feet of the fly through the
microscope and guess where he
gathered the filth that he often
carries wi-n he alights on the
dining room table, we would
give him no quarter. In gen.
eraI, the unseen things are the
most important ard they are
the things that we are liable to
overlook, but we should discrim-
mate against the house fly.
