This question is asked me re-
peatedly by young men who come to
Atlanta from small towns.
tell them that all they need is
a few hundred dollars. a fair amount
of ability and the desire to stick at
their business until success is as
sured.
Towns of 5000 inhabitants have
many young men who want to try
the mercantile business in small ar
ticles.
A young man who has $500 in cash
can sometimes arrange $500 of credit,
and he seldom fails to meet his OBJ
legations. | think of three instances
in which success has been attained
A young fellow in Sylvester started
on a small scale about four years
ago, and now he is worth $4,000. The
same is true of another at Calhoun,
and of another at Greenwood. S. c.
1t Is surprising how much of small
articles can be purchased for a little
money and what an establishment can
be set up. Undoubtedly the five and
ten cent stores in this section have
a great future, because so much in
terest Is being taken in them in small
towns as well as in the cities

Surprise Expressed
Over Menu Variety
Merchants and Manufacturers Want
More Features Next Year for
Georgia Products Day,

Many merchants and manufactur-
ers attended the Georgia Products
dinner at the Auditorium Tuesday
and came away amazed at what they
saw. Not even the makers and han
dlers of goods and products realized
that so much of a variety could be
shown in this section.
The merchants and manufacturers
and jobbers are among Atlantas most
progressive citizens and they are al
ways found ready to support a prof.
eCt like Georgia Products Day.
Many expressed the desire to i'm
prove the occasion next year, and
it is probable that a score of new
features will be instituted.

What Atlanta Needs
Is Mail Order Houses
This Is Sentiment Of Large Number
of Jobbers--Capital Needed
for start.

Officials OF Atlanta esta blishments
with mail order features have been
quick to reflte the claim that Atlanta
does little or nothing in the mail order
business. They declare that this is a
busy field for the mail order trade and
that IL is very well cared for.
The claim that the city has no exclu-
sive mail order house, however, has
gone unchallenged, According to w. O.

Booklet Unique.

Elwood Haynes, president Of the
Haynes Automobile Company and de-
signer and builder of the "horseless
carriage which now reposes in the
Smithsonian Institution. Washington,
d. c., has contributed the fifth of a
series of articles on his life and inven-
lions in the November issue OF The
Pioneer, monthly house journal of the
Haynes Auto Company.
This particular article is chiefly
reminiscent of the days when the
'horseless carriage created nothing
short of sensation as it travelled the
highways in and around kokomo.
As customary, The Haynes Pioneer
contains a list-of Haynes branches. dis

that the company's representation all

BIRDS EXCEL AS
WEED DESTROYERS
Some Songsters Depend Almost
Exclusively on Weed Seeds
Grow Kills Mice.

Weeds, as well as insects, are enc
mics OF the farmer. Most weeds are
short-lived and depend for their con
tinuance on a prolific seed production
There is a class OF birds that, In
maturity, feeds almost exclusively on
weed seeds, among which the gros.
beaks, goldfnches, native sparrows
quail and doves are the more i'm.
portant. Probably the greediest seed
eating birds. according to Mr.. Pratt
are the native American tree sparrow
and the chipping sparrow. Their
cousins, the English sparrows, how
ever. can by no means be included in
the list.
Rats, mice and snakes are the prey
Of a numerous class of birds, many of
which are often hunted and branded
as great destroyers of property. If ii
were not for owls and hawks the
country would be overrun with ro-
dents, according to Mr.. Pratt. The
crow has his place for good as a de-
stroyer of field mice and the farm owl
is the night Waterman who hunts
gophers, mice and snakes.
Not all hawks are useful. Those
that circle around in the sky and
swoop down with stealthy movement
on their prey are great boons, but the
darter, those that take their prey on
the wing, are ruthless destroyers.

A TooL-cHEsT AND A TooL-RAcK.

II you received an outfit OF tools for
Christmas, or a few as the start OF an
outfit, one OF the first things you
should do is provide a receptacle for
them-unless they came in a chest or
cabinet.
A chest is very simple to make. A
grOcery-boX or small packing-case
about % inches long, ID inches wide
and 10 inches deep may be used, and
one may be procured at the grocery
or a dry-goods store for 10 or 15
cents. Select a box that is in good
condition. and go over 1t and renal
all boards that show signs of loosen
ing; also drive In a few extra nails
as additional reinforcement.
The chest shown in Figs. l and 2
has drop-leaf in front, which makes
1t big Improvement over the COM
mon form OF solid front, because you
can reach down under the tray and
get a tool in the bottom of the chest
without having to remove the tray.
One of the side boards OF the box
should be removed for the drop-leaf.

INJURY DONE IN
REMOVING WEEDS
Most Beneficial Method Is to
Burn Them Where They Are
and Scatter Ashes.

The usual thing is when the weeds
have been loosened to remove them
bodily. Now. in doing this II is al
most impossible to avoid removing
a part OF the upper surface Of the gar
den. It may be only an inch or two,
but that inch is just the best OF the
ground. This is the height OF folly.
One reads OF the thrifty French
gardeners removing so many inches
Of their soil when they have to quit
out There is an agreement to that
effect. The soil that they have i'm
proved with years of labor and care
is a tenants fixture" so to speak,
and they take It with them.
What goes on in too many of our
gardens is just the reverse. Instead OF
going away and bringing the soil with
us-that is the wealth of our gardens
we stay and the soil goes, thrown
out on the rubbish heap to form part
OF an eyesore and nuisance to the
rest of the establishment.
These things should not be so. In
the Utopia of well-managed farms and
gardens, Of which we now and then
have an inklng, there will be no
rubbish at all, for what is rubbish
Burning is wasteful when 1t is
weeds not yet gone to seed that are
consumed. 1t is another matter In
dealing with such things az old
stumps, roots and bad weeds that
preserve their vitality over the win
ter. For them there must be the
cleansing fires. But why make them
away to a rubbish heap? Why not
rather burn them where they lie, at
once and scatter the ashes there.
This plan acts benefcially in more
ways than one. II saves two earnings
and Il is always easier to do Job
of this sort at once. Beside, rubbish,
even II left for but few weeks, will
be found to have afforded free quar-
ters to an appalling, II interesting ex
tent, to siugs and other garden pests.
These rubbish heaps! What trou'
blesome, unlovely things they are.
At a certain old homestead that
have In my minds eye, the practice
is In full swing. All ashes and con
ditions of things find their way, not
alone from the garden, but from the
dwelling, to hollow just out Of sight
OF the house and garden. Here are
"pegged out any amount OF extraor'
binary things-broken pottery, papers
sardine tins, tin meat cans. probably
in their virgin state. and old hats
and there they lie until someone ends
time to set IRE to the heap, q blot OF
unsightliness amid 80 much natural
charm.

Helping the LIttIe Fellow.

The United Shoe Machinery Com
pany is the only real obstacle to tho
formation OF shoe trust. We help
the small manufacturer to start In
business and keep going. He could
not afford to buy and care for his ma
chimes, but he can AFFORD to lease them
on the terms we give him based on
the number OF shoes he makes-an
average of less than 2-3 cents a pair
and let US keep them up to date.
That is a fair arrangement Some of
the big fellows don't like our system.
because they think we ought to give
them special rates. But the little fell
