his idea that they have Just wandered
away to some other part OF the sea or
coast and have not been located, and in
support OF this, calls attention TO the fact,
well-known TO students OF the fisheries,
that the herring disappeared from the
Norwegian coast ct one time for period
OF forty years, but eventually returned in
as large numbers as ever. He thinks this
is what will occur to the herring of the
Maine coast.
"There are plenty OF herring" says he,
"but they seek different hanhts for food,
Just AZ the deer up north in the big woods
shift around. One year you find deer very
plentiful in one section. Perhaps they
stay there for couple or three years, but
then you go there some fall and can
scarcely find an animal. They are not ex-
terminated. Simply, they have gone
mewhefe else. This is proven by the
fact that that year you hear deer reported
as abundant in part OF the State where
there has not been one in years. Ii Is the
same way with herring, to my way OF
thinking.
"Five years ago this summer, went
down TO Gloucester and took trip on a
fishing schooner to the Georges banks.
We were cruising along the southern edge
of the banks one day when we sighted q
school OF herring. This school was seventy
miles long and thirty wide. There were
herring enough in that school TO keep all
the sardine factories in Maine going for
years. Exterminated, don't believe It'll"

Invention of : schoolboy,

GuglieImo Marconi was only fifteen
years old when he studied at the uni
versities OF Bologna, and Psdua and began
his electrical researches. In the course OF
the next few years he began the study OF
the so-calied Hertxian waves, or electrical
impulses which travel through the air
without the use OF . wire.
In 1895, when he was only twenty years
old, his advanced knowledge on this
obscure subject inspired him with the
theory that these waves could be sent out
and received at will, and in that year he
had constructed the first wireless APP

is located at Cranberry Isles, and is known
as the Maypole weir.
1t was this weir which gave him the
largest eaten, in point of value, which he
ever made in a single tide. That weir
full of fish stocked him $685. In sixty
days, the same year, that weir stocked
him 5000.
During his entire career as q weir fisher
man, Captain Mayo has never operated q
weir outside the State OF Maine, A few
years ago he thought he would fish else
where for a time and went TO Florida for
that purpose. When he got there he
found the laws OF the state were against
him. In order to fish on that coast the
laws OF Florida required that he should
become a citizen OF the state. There was,
OF course, q reason for this. 1t was that
without such a restriction, the Cuban fish,
ermen would dock to the coast, catch the
fish, carry them to Cuba. and Fiorids
would lose both the fish and the money.
! The merchants he met were anxious
that he should remain in the state anc
| fish, and told him that they would see to Il
that he became citizen at once. Aftel
thinking the situation over carefully, ths
captain decided that Maine fishing wal
good enough for him, and came back tt
his home State.

the careless dumping Of full sacks.
It would be better practice to use
what are called half-sacks, or fill
the ordinary sacks but half full in
the field. They could thus be more
easily and carefully handled. There
are many little points of this kind
whose application need not involve
loss of time, but which would undoubt-
eddy effect saving Of hundreds Of
thousands Of dollars annually to the
potato growers OF this state.
The recent field inspections show
ed that many growers were permit
ting their pota fields to become
too dry before irrigating. In most
districts the numerous showers OF
June were deceptive. Although in
the aggregate the rainfall was con-
siderable, 1t consisted mainly Of
light showers, or heavy ones Of very
short duration. These moistened the
surface, but did not penetrate to the
root systems Of deeply rooted crops
such az potatoes. The growers were
often misled by the surface moisture.
when the soil about the roots had
become too dry. In such cases the
vines had become dark and dull 10
color.
Potatoes should be irrigated lightly
but frequently, keeping the water
well below the tuber line. This
means clean, deep trenching and
good ridging. The effect Of heavy
irrigation at long intervals is to
cause irregular growth and knotty
potatoes. The frequent application
Of too much water is apt to cause
hollow potatoes.
Every potato grower should now
look over his fields and select the
best portion for seed purposes.
1t ia the intention to discuss the
question Of storage in cellar. pit and
railroad car in the near future.

THE ROAD QUESTION.
Cost Of Permanent Roads in Iowa
Subject of Valuable Letter by
ID. w. Norris of MARSHALL
town.

Let me add a word regarding the
remarks of f. j. Tishenbanner; eX-
Postmaster Myeriy and Banker Van
Erdewyk are correct in their belief
that the only permanent road is the
paved road, just as the only perma-
nent culyert or the only. permanent
street crossing is the concrete eros
sing, but Mr. Myerly and Mr. Van Err
dewyk are guessing at the cost.
have on file in my office the
specifications and the contract price
OF nearly every concrete pavement
laid in Iowa and Michigan. The
price varies from 50 cents per square
yard at Remsen, Ia, and Ann Arbor,
Mich, to $1.62 at several other Iowa
cities At $1.00 per yard rural
concrete pavement II feet wide
would cost 5000 per mile, but the
extra cutting down of hills and the
long haul in the country would east
ly run this up to $4,000 per mile,
as was the experience of Wayne
county, Mich, this summer in laying
forty miles of rural concrete pave
ment. Mr.. Myerly as guessed too low
at $4,000 for concrete pavements.
~ lOhOSi BilNCS ODtdlUtuf I'll
brick pavements in Iowa cities aver
age around $1.50 per yard, which
would make brick pavements in the
country cost approximately $4,000
per mile more than concrete pave
ments, or $4,000 per mile, instead
or $4,000, Is estimated by Mr.. Van
Erdewyk
Mr. Tishenbanner, too, has CUES
sed too low on macadam roads at
$4,000 per mile, unless local mater
lal is at hand nearby the road. When
the people of Sedalia, Mo-, built six
ty-four miles of rock macadam road
this summer with 100000 special
road district bond issue they found
that the cost was from $4,000 to So
500 per mile with the rock right near
the road. To ship in material, or to
haul it several miles, would make
macadam roads cost from $4,000 to
$4,000 per mile. Local gravel roads
however, should not cost more than
$4,000 per mile where the gravel can
be had within four miles.
However, the pavements will be
the cheapest in the long run, and on
a twenty year state bond issue a
pavement can be built from every
other county seat at a cost of not to
exceed the proposed l mill levy for
one-third and special assessments
against the farms abutting the pave
ments or within two miles for the
remaining third.
The / mill levy will return only
three-quarters of a million per an
mum not a million and three-quarters
as so often published, but, as Mr..
Van Erdewyk says, it costs a quar-
ter section of land only $500. 1t
is the same as the road dragging tax
in the townships and about half the
public library tax in the towns. The
cost to the farms abutting the rave
ments would be $25 for each quar-
ter section per annum, or the equiv
alent of five days work for man and
team in return for a paved street
from his farm to town, and for the
nearby farms it would be $500 per
quarter section of land

A Talk on Advert sing.

(Reprinted from the New York Eve
ming Mail)
The manager of a branch store of
a large company which operates
stores in several cities, was asked by
the president of the company why
the business in this particular branch
had fallen off during a certain per-
iod
The manager said that the previous
month had been a stormy, disagree
able month and that was probably the
reason.
The president of the company said !:
well, we had the same kind of
weather in our city, and our business
went little ahead, but your bust
ness went behind.
The president of the company is a
great believer in STEADY ADVER-
Using. He never stops advertising
because weather conditions are bad.
He asked the manager:
chow MUCH ADVERTISING DID
YOU DO LAST MONTH";"
The manager replied:
Il didn't do any. ! don't believe
in advertising when the weather con-
ditions are so unfavorable, because
nobody will come out in stormy wet
weather to buy merchandise, so /
thought I would just save the mon
ey."
Save the money said the presi-
dent. "Will you kindly explain to
me where you saved any money? You
attribute your loss of business to the
weather, whereas IT IS DUE TO
YOUR LACK OF ADVERTISING.
You not only lost the effect of our
regular advertising during last month
but you ACTUALLY LOST MONEY
for us BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T AID
vERTISE.
Since then this branch has adver-
tised steadily-on sleety days, rainy
days, hot days, and all other days
and the business has been restored
10 its regular volume, increasing
gradually each week and each month.
STEADY ADVERTISING ALWAYS
KEEPS A BUSINESS GOING, no
matter what the conditions.
The president of this company is
fsuch a believer in the value of news
paper publicity particularly that he
has been able to reduce the percent
age of his advertising cost from 10
per cent on the gross business done
TO less than three and one-half
per cent in five years.
The value of STEADILY KEEPING
AT ADVERTISING is that not only
will the advertiser do more business
but he continually decreases the per-
centage cost of his advertising.

The Man who Doesn't Advertise.


The business man who does not adj
vertise, simply because his grand
father did not, should wear knee
breeches and a queue. The business
man who does not advertise because
it costs money, should quit paying
salaries for the same reason.
The business man who does not adj
vertise because he tried it once, and
failed, should throw away his cigar
because the light went out.
The business man who does not
advertise because he doesn't know
how himself, should stop eating be-
cause he can't cook.
The business man who docs not adj
vertise because somebody said it did
not pay, should not believe the world
is round, because the ancients said it
was fiat.
The business man who does not adj
vertise because he cannot know abso-
lutely that it is going to pay, should
commit suicide to avoid being killed
by an accident.
The business man who does adver-
tise, but who insists on his business
literature in inferior covers, simply
because they cost less than the I'm
common" kind, should wear blue
jeans overalls, because they are chea-
per than tailor made clothing.
