How To Kill Your Town.

Buy from peddlers as much and as
often as possible.
Denounce your merchant because
they make profit on their goods.
Glory in the downfall of man who
has done much to build up your town
Make your town out bad place and
stab it every chance you get.
Refuse to unite in and scheme for
the betterment of the material inter-
ests of the people.
Tell your merchants that you an
buy goods great deal cheaper in some
other town and charge them with ex-
tortion. If a strangers comes to your
town tell him everything is overdone
and predict general crash in the near
future.
Patronize outside newspapers to the
exclution of your own and then de-
nounce ours for not being as large
and as as he city papers.
If YOU are d merchant don't advertise
in the home paper, but compel the edi-
4, tor to 60 elsewhere for advertisements,
and howl like sore head because he
does so Buy rubber stamp aud use
it. 1t may save you few dimes and
make your letter heads aud wrappers
look as though you were doing bust
naSa in q one horse town.
If you are a farmer, curse the place
where you trade, as the meanest on
earth. Talk this over with your neigh
bors and tell them the men are rob-
bers and thieves. 1t will make your
property much less valuable; but you
don't care.

Stock Market

Kansas City Stock Yards, April 29,
1912 After two weeks of fairly liberal
cattle supplies here, the run began to
tighten up to-day and the market was
strong to Is higher all around, and
very active. The run was $500 head to-
day, and many far away sections of the
country had to be drawn on to augment
the receipts from nearby territory sutti'
GENTLY to make this total. Hay fed
steers from Montana we're here, at 500
to $780, sugar beet cattle from West
ern Nebraska and Eatern Colorado at
$40 to 81 80, and Oil Mill steers from
Northern Texas were unIoaded in the
quarantine division, unsold at a late
hour, because of their late arrival The
weakness in killing cattle the first
days OF last, week was completely eli
minated bX the end of the week, the
market having started upward with a
firm stride on Thursday. Stockers and
feeders re manned in the rut, though
buyers came in after Wednesday to
clean everything up pretty we'll by the
close of the week. These buyers got
their cattle at a bargain. Everything is
ripe for some new high prices Oh finish
ed b eef steers, 1915 being possibility
for this week not at all eXtravagant,
though lack of class caused the figures
&C, sLop al $0,35 to-day. Best COWS reach
81. l5, helfers $775, veals $500, quaran-
tine steers 81 .85, stockers $6.75, feeders
$715.
The hog market is the arena for what
turns out to be drawn battle from
day to day, top hogs hanging around
eight dollars with wonderful tenacity'
Logically hog prices should go higher
but an excessive supply at Chicago last
Monday furnished buyers with enough
ammunition to last all week, and run
of $4,000 taere to-day gives them the
whip hand for few days more. The
run here to-day is 1000 head, market
weak at the start, but fully steady at
the finish, top $500, bulk of sales $7.65
to 1895.
Expansion of lamb values blew the
roof off the market the middle of last
week, and Sc for the attraction of gra-
vity has not stopped the upward flight
LamtJs are nearly two dollars higher
thai two weeks ago, and tod sheep
joined them to the extent of thirty
cent rise Lambs brought SO IS, and
clipped lambs worth $3.50. Fed ewes
brought $500 to-day, Texas muttons
$6.l5 to $500, Texas goats $500 to $4.50
to killers, 1915 for the country. A bare
spot ahead explains the crazy market.
Spring lambs, Al pounds, brought
$3.50 to-day.

Starting A Mail Order Business

There are two entertaining things
that mail order men are fond of stating:
if you are likely customer, that mail
order goods are sold at almost no pro-
that mail order houses pay tremendous
dividends. They sell every thing below
cost, but they mai money because
they sell so much
Starting mail order business is a
comparatively easy matter. Ali you
have to do is to buy tray of guilt
watches for 20 cents each, mark them
up to IS and then mark them down
again to 1895 and there you are.
Of course there are some other Incl.
dental things to do. You must adver
tise. Have made pretty picture of the
| watch. Explain in glowing terms that
the watch has case, and works inside
of it. Of course, every watch has that;
but, if you are clever, you can use
high sounding phrases that will make
1t appear that putting works in a
watch is an idea entirely original with
you.
Of course you don't have to start
with watches. You can begin just as
we'll with doors or cameras or dress
patterns. 1t doesn't matter much
what you have to sell as long as you
have good live catalog writer to sell
it.
Hire man with a powerful imagina-
tion. Before he begins to write do lot
show him the goods. Let him imagine
them. TO show him might destroy his
illus ons, and it is a terrible thing to
destroy young mans illusions. OF
course, in the case of catalog writer
it is almost impossible. You can take
catalog writer's illusion, put it on a
stump and hit it with an ak, empty a
shotgun into it. and then blow up the
whole thing with dynamite, and the
| illusion will remain intact. If it doesn't
| the catalOg writer is an impostor. He
is not real, regular, journeyman cata-
log writer.
As soon as you can, get out nam
moth catalog. Try to have it at least
two inches thick and SO full of glowing
terms concerning you and your busi-
ness and your goods that man see it
in the dark. If your description is bet
ter than tue goods, do not worry. There
are 90,00O,O00 people in the United
States. 1t will take long time to get
clear around.
Alter you have passed the catalog
stage, try selling stock. This works
even quicker. Any body who buys your
goods will readily believe you are max
ing lot of money. The stock PROPOSE
tion has been only partially developed
by mail order men. but it has tremeu-
dous possibilities, Take the people into
your confidence Anyhow, take them in.
Explain how you are letting the pea
pie buy stock so they will boost the
house and share in the profits. If you
capitalize for $4,000, 900 and sell 800
worth of stock to a man and he buvs
harness for 4.94, do not try to figure
for him his share of the profits. 1t
might destroy some of his illusions al
so; and remember always that illusions
are your stock i'll trade.
This stock proposition is a good one:
do not overlook it. The mail order busi-
ness was a good thing when it made
the customer put up the cash in ad
vance and pay the freight; but to make
him also put up the capital Is the finish
ing touch. And that also is a part of
the business.
