SUNDAY SCHOOL "WANT ADS"
More Than Enough Teachers Secured
Through Advertisement in
the Newspapers.

The public is beginning to realize
more and more that the newspaper is
the medium through which the great
mass OF people Is to be reached when
an object is to be attained 1t makes
no difference whether the object is
>the sale of a cake of soap, the incul-
cation of a political faith, the hiring
of cook, or the purchase of any de-
sired article. The newspaper is the
one channel through which all the de-
sires of humanity must flow
A notable example of this fact was
given in Chicago recently when a
want ad" was inserted in several of
the papers asking for Sunday school
teachers. The want ad" did its work
and sufficient number of teachers
was supplied to meet the demand.
The advertisement was inserted by
the Halsted Street Institutional
church. which is affiliated with no par
ticular denomination. The school un-
dertook a great and important work
in one of the toughest" Sections of
the city, but 1t was a success from
the start. It's one great difficulty,
however, was to obtain a sufficient
number of teachers for the pupils
who thronged through the doors.
Therefore, the superintendent hit up
on the plan of inserting want ads"
in the newspapers. The result was
most gratifying The teachers came
in droves. They filed up the vacan-
cies and they left waiting list with
more than a dozen names upon it,
Verify, it pays to advertise for what
you need and especially does it pay
to advertise in grant
ing always that it is a newspaper that
dares to announce it's circulation.

How He DID It

One dealer in Indiana opened new
store in a German locality. Being an
Irishman and not at all familiar with
the mother tongue of the majority of
his customers, he lost a great deal of
business through a rival dealer, who
could spout German with the best of
them
Realizing that a great deal of his
rivals business was due to the fact
that he had the home" atmosphere
in his store, he set out to combat
him.
First of all. he hired a German
speaking clerk, who had ability for
making signs. etc
He had this fellow letter the win
dow and make counter cards in Ger
man and English. but he kept himself
little in the background when a Gus
toner Of pronounced German charac-
ter entered the store. leaving that
customer to his clerk
Soon he was able to meet his rival
on equal terms as far as the Father
land spirit" went
Now he Is THE dealer in his town

Avoid Cut Prices.

Each merchant should advertise
his regular goods more freely and
stay away from the cut price as
much as possible" said F. L. Linde-
muth, in speaking on The Dangers of
the Bargain Attractions" before the
members OF the Topeka (Kan) AID
Club. There are too many mer-
chants and too many persons In BUSH
ness who look for immediate results.
They put an ad in the paper one day
and If the street outside the store is
not liaed with prospective buyers the
next day they consider the ad has
been failure"

Don't make the task too hard, for il

care should be taken to have the sep

Ad Pointers

Good advertising Is modern
force that must be used by In
stitutions that intend TO grow.
And the man with a good
product will accomplish what
he wants to do quicker, easier
and with least expense II he adj
vertises right.
In the retail business small
firms that don't advertise very
often settle close to the large
store because the latter will
draw huge crowds through pub
llcity.
And thus do small firms pay
tribute to the power of adver-
tising-and profit thereby.
1t is probably true that only
20 per cent. Of all advertising Is
effective. Advertising Is not
overdone-it's underdone-it's
raw said one writer.
at Pays to Advertise" is a de-
ceptlve slogan. II won't pay
unless your product has merit.
The retail store that adver-
tises right advertises because
there is something to say.

FATTEN POULTRY
FOR THE MARKET
Fowls Should Be in Good Health,
of Large Size and Nice
Appearance.

(By N F. CHAPMAN, Poultry Specialist.
Minnesota Agricultural CoIIege.)
Poultry marketed from the farm
consists of cockerells, or males under
one year roosters, pullets culled from
standardized stock, hens, guineas,
doves. ducks, geese and turkeys. They
are generally sold alive in summer
and early autumn and both live and
dressed in late autumn and winter.
To bring the highest market price,
market poultry, whether alive or
dressed, should be in good health, Of
large size and we'll fattened. The
laws of Minnesota make it an offense
punishable by fine Of not less thai
$50, or imprisonment in jail for not
less than sixty days, for selling, or
offering for sale, sick, diseased or de-
caying poultry. Disease is usually
disclosed by white or black comb
and a stilted walk.
All poultry marketed should be fat.
This condition is the chief factor in
determining the price per pound. Fat
old hens. of whatever weight. often
command a higher price than young,
tender spring chickens Chickens fat
tened with ground grains and skim
milk or buttermilk are called milk
fed chickens, and command fancy
prices. At the Crookston station
Barred Plymouth Rock cocherels, 37z
months old. gained two pounds in
twenty-one days at a cost OF less than
i've cents per pound gain.

Committee to Gust FakIrs.

Fake advertising through displays
on garish placards on store fronts and
mock methods of every description,
which cost Seattle business men $780,
600 per year and more, with no re-
turns on the investment, are to dis
appear. The fake purveyor of pro-
grammes, contests, lotteries and SINH
lar schemes is to find it difficult to
ply his trade, and new Seattle motto
is to be copied as the result Of a pro-
gramme put forth by President George
F. Vradenburg and Endorsed by the
AID club at luncheon
Thus says the secretary of tire
Seattle AID club, who concludes:
There was some discussion as to
the advertising fakir and his methods,
and the club determined to appos1t a
censorship committee whose duty 1t
will be to demand personal and flnan-
cial references of these men, Failure
to show credentials to prospective adj
vertisers signed by officers of the club
should be taken as evidence. it was
stated, that the proposition was 4

why a Heating and Lighting Com

ject OF an interesting talk by George
A. Deatel, Baltimore advertising ex-
pert, before the Norfolk Ad club The
speaker confined himself to heating
companies, dwelling upon the public
ity advantages that are overlooked by
manufacturers and dealers. Taking
up the benefits of advertising, Mr..
Deatel showed what companies that
handle gas have accomplished through
the advertising columns Of newspapers
and by "follow-up' work through their
statesmen.

the plants in it shall receive daily
attention. There may not be much
work to do in it every day, but the
habit should be formed of looking
after 1t.
Such an idea is not at all in har-
mony with what we set out to teach
when we set the children to garden
ing. For the important thing about
it is not SO much the garden that re-
suits as 1t is the knowledge of how to
do things that grows out OF the work
that is undertaken.
Encourage the children to share the
flowers they grow with those who
love flowers but have none of their
own. Let them bring some of them to
the Sunday school and the church,
and be sure to have them remember
the shut-ins, and ira sick. This will
help them form & habit of thoughtful
ness for others, and the pleasure that
grows out of these little acts will be
strong encouragement for more ex-
tensive gardening operations another
season.

LITTLE THINGS TO
DO IN AN ORCHARD
Cleaning Up and Moderate Pruns
ing Makes Work Much Easier
in the Spring.

Peach trees under four years old
which are so badly frozen as to show
discolored wood must be cut off below
the snow line and allowed to sprout
again.
Very often trees that have passed
through hard winter show no indi-
cations of freezing in the bark, but
an examination may show that the
wood is injured.
An orchard on high ground should
always be protected by a wind break

side
Norway Spruce, Scotch and Aus.

Cleaning up the orchard and moder
ate pruning now will make the work
much easier in the spring.
Now is the time to romeve all dead
branches and those that are weak, and
which Interfere with other healthy
branches.
Do not allow sheep to run in the
young orchard. They are very apt to
nibble the tender sprouts and even
bark the trees.
A few years ago eastern peach
+ growers extensively tried out the use
of crude petroleum as an insecticide
But while it kills the bugs it often
causes great injury to the trees.

EFFICIENT AS STORAGE TANK
Milk Cooler-0Il Barrel Will
Answer Purpose.

For the benefit of those who may
not possess a good milk cooler, 1 will
give plan for a cheap and efficient
cooler or storage tank, writes HI. o.
Clary of Illinois in Hoard's Dairy
man. An oil barrel may be pur-
chased for about 20 cents. Make
two openings, one on either side,
large enough to admit two-inch
pipe. The inlet should be a trifie
above the overflow The inlet pipe
should be equipped with an elbow
and piece of pipe long enough to ex-
tend within couple of inches of the
bottom OF the barrel; this will let the
cool water in at the bottom and force
the warm water out at the overflow.
If this cooler be placed between the
well and the drinking tank for the
stock there will be no waste of water
or extra work in cooling the cream.
A cover should be provided for the
barrel to keep out dust, dirt and in
sects. This cover is large enough to
hold four f1ve-gallon shotgun cans.
Now In regard to the cream sep
arator, it does not pay to buy cheap
machine for several reasons. such as
inefhciency, durability, etc. Set the
cream screw so as to skim about y
e5 to 40 per cent. cream. This is
beneficial to the farmer in more ways
than one; first, the loss of skimmilk
in thin cream which in itself is valued
at from 20 to 80 cents per hundred

Economy In HIah-ProducIna Cows.

The highest producing cows are, on
the average, the most economical
producers. It is true that the cost OF
feed eaten by these cows is consider
ably higher than for the low pro
ducers, but since the products OBJ
tanned are much more valuable than
the feed consumed, and since a
larger portion of the net energy In
the feed eaten can be used for the
production, in the case of such cows
the net returns secured are increased
to a far greater extent than the in
crease in cost of feed.
