electric franchise within the

ions relating to the power held by
the village and the maxium rate

substance is practically the same
as the one given the former com
pany except two clauses. In
the former there was a maxium
rate of Is cts. fixed and the lcoca-
ton of poles within the city was
placed under the direction of the
city. These two clauses were
eliminated in the franchise asked
tor by the present operating com
pany and the board at theii
first meeting did not pass the
ordinance granting the Kuhns q
franchise with clauses eliminated
There were several other items
relating to the Improvement O

Advertising is a science and the
man who fails to advertize his
business by persistent effort thr-
ows down the bars to the mail
order house and foreigner and
lessons his chances for financial
success. Dust and cob webs will
gather on his wares while his
advertising competitor holds the
center ofattraction by his persist
ence in telling his friends what he
has for them. The mail order
house has learned long ago that
to draw customers to his store
he must keep before them the
things he has to sell in the season
thereof. People are attracted by
what they see; not by what they
do not see. Window display is
good after the customer is brou-
ght to the store but this means
of advertising does not reach in
to the homes but your local news
paper does the work after your
blinds are pulled and many ofyou
are sleeping, if your weekly bus

Dor that would be required in
this section to cultivate the beets

pared to take charge of the SOW
ing at that time.
The condition of the land at
this time is very important
matter from the viewpoint of
both the farmer and the Sugar
company.
Where the ground has been
plcwed tor some time and follow
ed with extensive narrowing
and leveling the seed bed will like
ly be in good condition, one of
the essentials to isure a good
crop.
