WHEN ADVERTISING PAYS
Importance Of Thickness and Proper
Display Of Goods-Suecess Of Small
Town Kansas Merchant.

No matter what one advertises the
display must be of the right sort to
bring the best results.
John Graham Brooks, Chicago uni
versity lecturer is so impressed with
the value Of advertising that he ad-
vises such pupils as contemplate en-
tering business to learn how to write
advertisements. He lays great stress
upon "up-to-the minute" advertising
accompanying the proper display OF
goods.
At a yarn spinning session the other
day the story was told of bachelor
who entered a haberdashery one cold
winter day and bought a necktie.
When he opened the package in his
room he found photograph of good
looking, middle aged woman, with this
note appended, IF you are single,
write me-"
That set the bachelor to thinking
how lonely he was and before the
evening was over he had written to
the lady whose name and address &C
companied the note.
After two weeks of anxious waiting,
the bachelor received reply to his
letter. 1t read:
"Sir-The Mary Smith to whom you
wrote was my grandmother. She died
nine years ago. aged eighty-six."
The bachelor had purchased his
necktie from a merchant who didn't
advertise.
Out in Sedan, Kan, town of 1900
population, there is a merchant by
the name of /. III. Edwards.
This man went to Sedan a few
years ago with but little capital. To-
day he owns fine business, lives in
a beautiful home and thinkers with a
big farm. MY success is due to ad-
vertising" he writes.
Edwards spends $4,000 every year
with the local newspapers, then he
backs up his advertising with attract
tive goods at the right prices.

What shocked the doughty old

the photograph was used in ancient
Egypt, and was in reality only per-
fected by Edison in the nineteenth
century. There is evidence also OF
the use of wireless telegraphy before
the Christian era, while the Egyptian
alphabet has proven to be a scientific
key to organized human speech. 1t Is

There are many reasons why farm
ers should keep more sheep, writes
Prof. Thomas Shaw in The Home
stead. TIE relatively small number
that is kept on the average farm is
one of the remarkable things about
the live stock industry In the United
States. The totals OF this class OF
stock are not much more than they
we're 90 years ago. This is all the
more remarkable in view. of the tire
mendous expansion that has been go
ing on in almost every line Of agri-
culture.
Sheep should be kept on the average
farm to aid in keeping down weed
life. When weeds are young and
sappy the sheep are in a sense insati-
able devourers of the same. There are
but few kinds of weeds that they
will not trim down and consume and
turn into good mutton If they have
access to the same at a comparatively
early stage in the growth OF the
weeds. When other pasture is not
overabundant this cropping down Of
weeds will be more complete than
under other conditions. They will
even keep down, at least in consid-
cradle degree, the growth of Canada
thistles when thus managed. They
are equally ravenous also for the
seeds OF the weeds. When these have
been formed and even when mature,
and when weed seeds have been de-
voured by them, they are SO finely
ground that they do not grow again
when dropped upon the ground. l
have watched sheep when first turned
into a grain pasture to see what was
their first choice. When such weeds
as lambsquarter were present and
quite young and succulent, they
would take these first in preference to
the grain.
They should be kept to consume the
waste products. On every farm these
abound more or less. They abound
not only in the form Of weeds, but In
the form of grasses of various kinds.
These are found numerously in the

Fun in Advertisements.

The following advertisements ap-
peared in various papers some years
ago:
Bulldog for sale: will eat anything;
very fond of children.
Wanted: boy to be partly outside
and partly behind the counter"
Widow in comfortable circumstan-
ces wishes to marry two sons"
Animal sale now on; don't go else

"A lady wants to sell her plano. as
she is going abroad In a strong, iron

Wanted: an airy bedroom for a
gentleman, 20 feet long. and IL feet
wide"
Recently this line appeared In a
daily paper:

grain fields after the grain has been
reaped. They are found In the high
ways, beside the farms, and they are
found along fence borders whatsoever
may be the build OF these. The sheep
that are given access to these will
virtually clean up everything and In
good form. The food thus eaten
would otherwise be wasted, at least
1t would in large measure.
They should be kept to supply meat
for the household. The farmer is
much prone to conine his meat diet
to salt pork, and largely for the rea-
son that in this form meat is most
easily kept Where sheep are kept
upon the farm the farmer may have
fresh meat and OF a delicious char
acter by killing and dressing occa-
sionally a mutton from his flock.
With a good place to keep such meat,
as an apartment in an Ice house, he
may enjoy such meat In warm
weather. But even In the absence Of
such a place he may partake OF suoh
food during much OF the year-that
when the weather is cool enough to
enable him to keep such meat in
good condition. In this way much Of
the meat may be grown to meet the
needs OF the farm from products that
would otherwise be wasted
Sheep ought to be kept because of
the influence which they exert upon
fertility. No class of animals kept
upon the farm will equal them in the
favorable influences thus exerted.
This arises first, from the readily
available condition In which the drop
pings reach the SOIL second, from the
scattered condition in which they
reach the land, and, third, from the
general distribution OF the dropping
over the land. In this way sheep
leave the land richer in available fer
tility when they Craze upon 1t than
it was when the grazing began. Thus
1t is that the proverb has arisen that
the sheep has a golden hoof. And it is
founded on the truth.

HOW He SOLD THE sHovELs
Merchant Saw and orasped the oppor-
tunlty to Dispose Of over
stock of Shovels.

In a small Indiana town a merchant
once purchased an overstock OF show
els. They had been gracing hooks in
the rear OF his store for some time
and gathering rust. He was anxious
to get rid OF them. even II he had TO
sell them at a loss.
A road contractor had his squad out
In full force repairing a particular bad
strip of road about two miles from
town. The dealer who was driving
his delivery wagon through this
stretch stopped to speak few words
to the contractor who was quite a
friend of his.
He noticed that the shovels which
the men were using we're Of small
capacity and mentioned the fact to
the contractor. "Jim," he said, you
are not making the dirt fly as 1t
should. Look at that fellow over
there, why he can only lift a spoon
full at time with that little shovel
of his. or course know there is a
bonus put. on this job If you get II
finished before the cold weather sets
in. You're never going to do 1t that
way. Now. | got a bunch OF real
shovels up at the store | want you to
take and use. | am not asking you
to purchase them, mind you, but
just want to prove that your work
men will like them better than the
ones that they are using now and con.
sequently will do better work with
them.
I'll bring you out a dozen and a
half tomorrow, and am going to ask
you as a special favor to try them out.
II they are all right, buy them, you'll
be needing some new ones pretty
quick anyhow II they don't satisfy
send them back"
The contractor tried the shovels out
and found them satisfactory. He not
only bought the old stock of shovels
but made II necessary for the dealer
to order more. or course he sacrt
feed something on the price Of the
first ones, but he has gotten good
many orders from the contractor
since.
A little bit of ingenuity will often
dispose of stock that seems hopeless
as far as sales OF 1t are concerned.

| KEEPING THE CHILDREN COOL
Back Yard Shower Bath Which Fresh,
ems Them and Helps to Pass the
Hot Days Pleasantly.

In Pasadena, a bunch" of little
children have the most delightful
kind of shower bath each afternoon,
and the suggestion may appeal to
other mothers. Their back yard bath
is completely surrounded by a lux
uriant hedge Of pomegranite covered
in turn by the beautiful morning
glories. About three o'clock the chill
dren undress in the house, putting on
regular bathing suit. Then each
child grasps her own tin bathtub and
with her slippers and pretty lowered
Japanese kimono rolled under her
arm makes grand rush for the gar
den. The tubs are set down in any
place desired, the slippers laid aside,
kimono and bath towels hung up be-
hind the garden door and the fun be-
gins. Each child in turn gets the
hose and plays it in the tubs and on
each other until the tubs are filled
and all the children soaking wet.
Then each child makes for its own
tub which is full OF overlooking.
Down they sit until just the curly
heads and shoulders rise above the
rim. Then father or mother come on
the scene. the tubs splashlng over are
refilled and then the children, one by
one, stand up and initiate their chests,
while the hose is turned directly on
them. Brown as berries are these
children. bright OF eye and firm OF
muscle. A little longer splashing and
out they jump one by one to strip,
rub down, and don slippers and ki-
monos for a little run about the yard
before going In to dress for dinner.
