BEAT THE DYNAN1TED ACRE.

The Southern Ruralist, farm pa
per published in Atlanta, says in a
recent issue:
In discussing the matter OF dy-
namiting land and the cost involved
the question is frequently asked:
How often must dynamiting be re-
peated? No definite answer can be
given. No positive time for the
duration of the effects of dynamite
can be fixed. The benefits are un-
questionably lasting-continue for
several years. Once in five years is
probably as often as most soils need
sueh heroic treatment. Benefits are
known to have lasted ten years or
more in certain cases.
An experiment in Terrell county
shows that it is yet to be proved that
dynamiting land increases the yield

Persistency Wins Out

No great business has ever come from
a hit-and-miss policy.
In the retail world the big businesses
of today are all persistent advertisers.
These big houses do not stop their
advertising because the weather is hot
or cold, because it looks like rain or
because there's a picnic on tomorrow.
They realize that advertising has a
cumulative value which deteriorates
rapidly when advertising 1ags or stops.
There is plenty Of business to be done
during the summer if the advertising
is attractive enough to bring people to
the store. The merchant who is con-
tent to let the heat get the best of him
is content to send business to his COM
petitor because he is too hot to tend
to it.
Physicians say that the best way to
keep cool is to keep our eyes off the
thermometer and our thoughts on
something other than the weather
The public reads a newspaper, ad-
vertising columns and news columns
just as eagerly and thoroughly during
the heated term as during the cold
snaps.
Keep your advertising going during
dog days" just as you keep your store
open, your clerks on the payroll, and
change your window displays.
Don't stop advertising lest some of
your present customers be led to be-
1ieve that there has been a funeral at
your house, or that you've closed your
store while you've gone on q vacation.

BANKS CASH BAD
MONEY ORDERS
Raised Mexican Money Or
ders Passed Here For
$500; Issued For So.

Wholesale money order frauds affect
ing FL Paso, st. Louis and other cities
in the United States and Mexico have
been unearthed in CuIiacan and Mazat-
Ian, Mexico. The frauds consisted in
raising the international money orders
issued at the Mazatlan postoffice from
Two to zoo pesos which were made pay
able to American banks and were
banked in the United States for col
lection.
-Four Of these supposed raised money
orders were paid in FL Paso at local
banks and the raised adyices of these
orders are now in possession of post
master J. A Smith
The scheme was worked by. A Next
can mail clerk, who was arrested in
connection with the fraud in Culiacan.
Inc money orders were purchased in
5ne MazatIan postoffice for two pesos.
1hese were raised from two to 200
pesos, the fact that the orders were
written with indelible pencils making
TINS Work easy The mail clerk, on the
run between Mazatlan and Culiacan
would open the envelopes containing
the money order advices (to the post
master at the paying office and raise
these TO correspond with the original
orders. The cashing of these orders
would then be easy. Notice was re-
ceiVed of the existence of this fraud
more than month ago by the local
postoffice and pav-~ents on Mazatlan
orders were stopped.
As the money oruers were paid by
the FL Paso banks in good faith, the
Mexican government stands to lose the
amounts Of the raised orders, which
are believed to be high in the aggre-
gate. In addition to the FL Paso cases
it is believed that orders on many other
offices have been put over" by the
clever sWindlers. The mail clerk who
was arrested at Culiacan and who is
said to have confessed to the crime
also implicated others, including a
woman, and also admitted that he had
raised orders on Nogales, Ariz-, Doug
