ATTRACT YOUR CUSTOMERS.

Keep the Dollars at Home by Proper
Display Of Goods.
The way to keep the boys and girls
ut home is to make home attractive to
them. The way to keep dollars ut
home Is to make home attractive to
the dollars. There IL no other way. !.
Our local merchants should make
their trade attractive. This means that
they should play up their goods. Just
as newspaper plays up story. Goods
can be played up in many ways. Adj
vertising In the local paper and dis
playing in the store window are two
good ways. Another good way IS to
make the store attractive inside and
outside. a
Another is to convince customers that
they IRE getting honest values. Still
another Is to have the thing the GUS
toner wants. make him feel that you
are trying to serve him and accommo-
date him and not merely trying to
benefit yourself. Yet another and most
important of oil Is to organize for the
betterment Of the community. arouse
the public spirit and local pride and
educate the people In the inestimablc
benefit to everybody Of building up
their own town and their own neigh
borhood.

ABUSING THE SOIL IS A
SURE ROAD TO POVERTY.
Improper TIIlaos 10 the Mark Of Poor,
improvldsnt Farmer and an un-
patriotic American.

A man has no more right to abuse
the soil than he has to abuse his team
Of horses or his family. And. further
more. the farmer who insists upon
growing wheat and only wheat one
year after another II entitled to fall
ure and through such failure rids the
country Of the abuse Of its greatest
natural resources. Those are the views
Of President ]. n. Worst Of the North
Dakota Agricultural college.
1.-THE systematic farmer Is usually
successful farmer" President Worst
says. 'The man that farms without
system seldom makes glowing sue
cess. The all wheat farmer has no
system in the accepted sense and will
ultimately fail. He should fail: not
that any one should predict or desire
another's misfortune. but the soil Is
abused by the one crop farmer. and he
should fail In order to rid the country
of the abuse of its greatest natural re-
depend as much upon the soil for sus-
tenance as the man that originally filed
on 1t or that is now farming 1t.
"The systematic farmer works out
system by which he may so diversity
his crops rs to employ his time some
what evenly throughout the year: that
he may maintain. even increase. the
fertility Of his land: that he may de-
stroy weeds and otherwise conserve
moisture and by thus using his mental
faculties as well rs his hands prevent
the many evils that befall the hap
hazard farmer.

MACHINERY COMMON SENSE.
In his book on rural economies
Professor r. N. Carver OF Har-
ward untvaratfv Ufvea n few

In his book on rural economies
Professor r. N. Carver Of Har-
ward university gives a few
facts relating to the annual de-
probation Of farm machinery
and incidentally takes up the
question of rational or irrational
method cf purchasing machin-
cry. Among other things Pro-
lessor Carver says:
II II q potorious fact that farm
machinery deteriorates very rapid
ly. and the cost of deterioration Will
surprise any farmer who has not
kept accounts over q period OF
years. According to investigations
carried on by the Minnesota expert
ment station over period OF Ave
years. the average annual depreci-
alton OF farm machinery was 7.3
per cent. The estimates vary with
different implements from 4.S9 per
cent for farm wagons to 1908 per
cent for corn binders. Therefore
the farmer needs to calculate very
carefully before buying an ex-
pensive machine to make sure that
he has use enough for II to give
him a safe margin Of profit over
any probable cost In the way OF In
terest, maintenance. repairs and de-
terioration. He must be able to see
pretty definitely just where he Is
going to get his money back-that
is. where he will save enough In his
wages bill II he Is an employer OF
! labor or where he will increase the
product OF his farm enough to rec
ompense him for his outlay. with a
safe margin OF profit to cover posi-
BILE miscalcuiation. However. over
caution In this direction is as bad
as too little caution. While too lit
tie caution will bring speedy bank
ruptcy. too much perpetuates back
ward or unprogressive methods OF
agriculture and toilsome and mo-
notonous drudgery In the life OF the
farmer. Having made careful cal
culation and having satisfied him
self that the probable gain will ex-
coed the probable loss. the farmer
must not hesitate to invest even IL
he has to borrow heavily in order
to do SO.

continued, sufficient moisture to sup
ply tho growing crop throughout the
spring aud summer months 10 the de-
termining factor that governs the size
and certainty of the harvest. One
farmer plows four inches deep. when
he gets ready. and uses a drag just
enough to smooth the surface. He
sows the remnant of wheat that Is left
over after selling what can be spared
and depends upon Providence to water
his fields as the crops may need 1t. His
neighbor plows eight inches deep rs
early as possible. following the plow
with a subsurface packer, and the
packer with the drag the same day.
If It rains the water I'LL goes into the
soil. because he has prepared place
for its reception. Then he drags the
field again to hold the water In the
soil. He SELECTS only plump. perfect
seed for sowing, having previously
thoroughly cleaned and graded It..
During the early part Of the growing
season he uses the drag as often as
the dashing rains form q crust over
the ground and keeps wedding or drag
cling the fields until the grain eventual
iy shades the soil.
'The bugaboo of too much work is
shecrest fallacy. Tho extra dragginRs
and the extra disking will not cost to
exceed 81 an acre. Farming any old
way costs, counting interest on invest
ment. seed and labor, approximately
81 an mere. BY applying the additional
81 worth Of labor to each acre the
chances IRE rs good for getting a dou.
BILE profit rs for getting any profit with
out the extra 81 worth Of labor. Thus
half the profits mny be credited to
about one-seventh or one-eighth the
total cost Of production."-St- Paul

brought profit was 1000. when 5000

the profit was ST,333: In 1905. $0.oG1:

"HE venerable chief OF the Hopi
Indians OF Arizona faced the
president of the United States
and eloquently entered plea
that his people might be allowed to re-
turn to the old order Of things. In
that meeting there was tragedy-a pa
thetic tableau that wildly pictured the
dying past yielding to the memorable
present.
MY people want to live as In the
days that are gone" the gray old chief
Is reported to have said. They don't
want schools and teachers. They want
to be let alone and to live as they wish,
to roam free without the white man
always there to tell them what they
can do and what they cannot do. to
live as they did when the land was
theirs"
From the abode Of his tribe In the
desert he had gone to enter protest
against the tyranny of civilization. He
stood in the presence Of the great
white father, hoping for some permit
to return to the old nomadic life and
freedom.
But his long journey was futile, his
quest was in vain. for the president
explained that the schools could not
be abolished and that the teachers
must continue their work.
