DISARMS THE ENEMY
PERHAPS 1T WOULD BE MORE
CORRECT TO SAY "Dls-cLAWS."
Anyway. New Jersey Farmer Devised
a Scheme Which Resulted In Dis
eomffture to the Spoilers OF
His Hen Roosts.

Benjamin Groner, a farmer in the
Birds Eye Hollow neighborhood. Just
over the New Jersey line from Gosh
en-, in studying the habits of hawks
noted that those proving and snoop-
ing birds always perched on the
branch of some tree or on high
fence or other good point for obserya-
ton near a poultry yard and nom
there took comprehensive view or
the surroundings and their possibili-
ties before swooping down on the con
tents OF the yard. That set Farmer
Groner to thinking. and he thought to
such purpose that 1t resulted in his de-
yising a eontrivance which he believed
would be the ruination OF every hawk
that came nosing about his premises.
He had a sythe blade made OF the
hast steel be could procure. He ground
and whetted the edge OF the blade un-
Then he fastened the butt end OF the
blade with bolts tight to high pole
near the top, edge up, and at an angle
of IS degrees. The pole he then set
In the grould, few rods from his
poultry yard at the edge of wood lot.
In the afternoon of the day he set
the trap a hawk came sailing along
over the tops of the trees. Farmer
Groner was In his barn and saw 1t and
watched its manoeuvers.
The big bird circled about fey
times and then dropped down on the
outstretched scythe blade. which ap-
peared as a convenient point Of oh
servation.
The instant the hawk lit It began to
slide down the smooth slant Of the
blade and the razoriike edge sliced its
claws OFF as quickly and as neatly as
a meat cutter slices smoked beef The
bird fiuttered TO the ground, but as
its wings were still at its command it
few away And II has never come
back to Farmer Groner's place again
Going out to the trap pole and
finding the talons of the crippled
hawk, Farmer Groner knew that his
pondering over the ways of hawks
had resulted in successful demon
stration of the conclusion he had
come to, and next morning he dis
covered that he had builded even
wiser than he knew, for he found
couple of sets of owl toes en- the
ground beneath the scythe blade He
had not calculated on owls, but hold
ing to the old fashioned belief that
those nocturnal providers we're habi-
tual robbers OF hen roosts, he gloat-
ingly accepted the evidence of the ef-
ficacy of his trap as an owl dis
courager.
Ever since that Installing Of the
scythe trap for business on the Groner
farm 1t has been kept on duty, and
the frequent findings OF hawk and owl
claws scattered beneath it and the
noticeable increase in his poultry flock
are incontrovertible proof to Farmer
Groner thar it is doing the work ii
was planned to do. An owl or hawk
that lights on that terrible perch IL
forever untitled for stealing chickens.
for both birds capture their prey with
their claws.

Smith had just been operated upon
for appendicitis. During his period Of
conyalescence he became quite chum-
my with the two other patients who
shared the ward with him.
How are you feeling, boys?r said
Smith one morning to them.

why, how was that?" questioned
Smith, In an agitated voice.
Because the doctor assigned to thts

missed needle and a pair of scissors.
The former he found III me. and the
latter In my friend here on the right.

TALK ON RETAIL ADVERTISING

There is nothing mysterious about
advertising-it is simply salesman
ship" in print
The majority of retailers imagine
that in order to advertise success.
fully one must be clever and there
fore they often fiji their advertise
ments with witty Cd nonsensical
phrases that have no connection what
ever with the goods advertised. This
is far from being the case-common-
sense, reason-why craftsmanship ad.
vertising will convince more custom
ers and sell more goods than any
amount of funny advertising
Good retail advertising serves to
mold public opinion and while IT
may bring no immediate results, yet
it gives a merchant a reputation for
aggressiveness for fairdealing thai
has an important sales-stimulating
effect on future business.
In all your advertising state facts
If YOU are advertising an article don't
simply say that it is the best in the
world and let it go at that Every
body claims to have the best article
therefore in order to convince tbs
prospective customer it is necessary
to state facts about the article that
prove why it is the best Such facts
Interestingly presented are sure tC
result in increased sales.

WHAT ADVERTISING is
BY GEORGE FITCH.

Advertising is the voice OF Duslness'
Some business can get along with
out advertising just as some men can
make a living, although dumb. But
both are uphill jobs.
Advertising began when the eager
merchant went out on the street and
logged the pedestrian by the elbow to
get his attention This was weari-
some work and sometimes the pedes-
trian hit back. Nowadays the mer
chant can jog a million men by the
elbow through the public print while
he himself is beating a worried golf
ball out of a sand pit.
Advertising is a peddler who brings
the wares Of the world into the house
each day and tells you how cheap and
good they are. Bnt it is more desir-
able than peddlers, because when you
are tired of a peddler you can't fold
him up and put him on the pantry
shelves
Advertising formerly consisted OF
the truth. Then imagination and elo-
auence came to the aid of the truth
and for a while it looked as if they
would crowd it out entirely
With the aid OF imagination a man
can sell cactus deserts and colored
water. automobiles and college educa-
tions. hymnbooks and patent crack
ers. tame lions and trained deas, sky
scrapers and seed potatoes, fountain
pens and patents of nobility, chewing
gum, corsets and blue Sky
by advertising a man can dispose
of a mountain of sawdust at 81 per
ounce, Troy weight Without adver-
tising he can offer frankincense ana
myrrh TO all comers free of charge un-
til the stuff spoils on his hands.
Nowadays the live business man
begins by hiring an advertising writer
with the tongue of angels and Sc
ductive way in paragraphs. Then ne
buvs s1.OOO.000 worth of advertising
space. and. lastly, he decides what to
sell
Advertising makes milliOnaires ana
presidents. makes great actors out OF
fur coats with Indifferent filling, sup
niles widows with husbands, babies
with homes and deserts with people.
Advertising gets some people into So
ciety and others into Jail. Advertis-
ing supports literature and makes ma
tions boom. The country which ad-
vertises wakes exceeding great and
immigration problems while the land
which has no press agents crumbles
away and is discovered by archaeolo-
gists in the dim presently.
Advertising made Homer great thou-
sands of years after he was born and
introduced Rameses to admiring
friends 1000 years after he had re
tired from circulation. Chicago con
sists of Goshen, Ind, plus ADVERTISING
Advertising has kept Sarah Bernhardt
Young and attractive for sixty-severai
vears-and the lack of it made Poe
starve at forty.
Advertising is the voice of business
but it should not be allowed to rise to
a hoarse shrek and disturb the land
scape.
