FARM ADVERTISING
GOOD BUSINESS

More and more the farmer is COM
ing to be an alert business man. And
along with his new thrift he is COM
ing to employ business methods in
advertising. Such methods should
be far more widely copied than they
are. ut pays to advertise is the de-
liberate opinion of the businesses
world; it is no less true Of the busi-
ness Of farming.
There is All indirect way to adver-
tise the farm and the right method
OF its management. by good fences
and clean fence corners. by gates
that open readily and do not sag, by
well oiled harness and fifty groomed
horses, by slick and gentle cows, by
neatly kept buildings and implements
sheltered from the weather, man
may show his neighbors and all the
passersby that he is right up to date
and wholly up to his task.
There is also direct advertising.
and to this farmers pay all too little
attention. 1t is the part of wisdom
to run in good paper Or series Of
papers All annOuncem ent of what you
have to sell. Men may not buy at
once, hut when the time comes for
them to buy they will know who has
the stock or grains needed. Then,
every farmer should have fitting
name for his farm. lie should have
attractive letterhexds and circulars.
On the envelopes he uses he should
place slogan of Il few striking words.
or IL portrait of his prize winner, or
picture Of II scene with Holsteins or
JERSEYS, as the case may be. grazing.
One man can lead horse to water
but ten men cannot make him drink.
But if you lead your horse to the
trough regularly he will know where
the water is when he falls dry. One
advertisement may bring thought
to what you have 10 offer; ten adver-
tisements cannot make men buy.
But when men want a pure bred
Berkshire or u strain of new blood in
the dairy herd they will know what
name to put on the check it you ad-
vertise systematically.-C untry

s S. BIGGER IN
JAIL AT SPRINGS

Sam 5. Bigger, the man who was
sent here to relieve Harry Boulter
during the latter's vacation in June,
is.taking a vacation in the White
Sulphur Springs Jail which promises
to be of some duration.
Bigger had been the agent here for
something like three weeks when he
decided he ought to take trip down
to Billings on a pleasure trip. He
did not return and investigation was
started and it was found that he had
absconded with approx imately $1,000
OF the cOmpany's money besides Gre
ating such a tangle Of the books both
of the railroad and express company
that it took much time to straighten
them out.
The National Surety Company, in
which company Bigger was assured.
was notified OF his premature depar-
ture and at once started in search of
/, him. They trailed him to Kentucky,
back to Chicago and then to nnmer-
IONS -Gther points. They finally To-
Gated him as HI agent of the Rock Is.
land railway company in the vicinity
OF Cha rles City, Iowa. He must have
been aware that the officials were on
his trail as he disappeared from there
leaving a shortage of $s43. The trail
was taken up without delay and he
was captured with $500 OH his person.
ARRANGEMENTS were made by the
authorities to bring him back to
Meagher county to answer to the
charge of grand larcent at Judith Gap
This was made easier from the fact
that the National Surety company
was the loser in both cases. Sheriff
Menzies returned to White Sulphur
Springs last Wednesday from st. Paul
with Bigger, and he is lodged in the
county jail awaiting sentence OH the
charge of grand larceny, to which he
has already pleaded guilty.

HARRY LANE GETS
A GOOD POSITION

Harry Lane, one of the first arri-
walls in the Judith Gap section and
for two years past head clerk for the
Mckenzie Trading Company, has ac-
cepted a position with the Ryan Mer-
camille Company, grocery whole
sale house Of Great Falls.
Harry Lane came to Montana when
a mere youth from Boston. and for
number of years rode the range as
cowboy. He saved his money and
was able to start in the sheep bust
ness for himself. His bands grew
from year to year until he was con.
sidered sheep rancher in every
sense of the word. Late one spring a
blizzard visited his range in Dawson
county and froze his sheep by the
hundreds. The following summer
the forage on the range was scarce
and he was forced to dispose of his
depleted tlocks.
About five years ago he and his
wife came to this section and took up
q honaestead. which they have proved
up. Harry worked III town and drove
eleven miles to and from the ranch
every day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lane have many
friends in this section who will be
sorry to see them leave even though
Mr.. Lane has received an exception
ally good position. They left yester-
day, but will return next week to
move their household goods. One
thing certain is that Harry Lane will
always bea booster for Judith Gap
and vicinity, because he has done
we'll here and has faith in this sec.
tiOn of Montana.
