Every illustration used in LUDWIG'S
advertisements is a CONTRACT! Do
you get that?
If you see something that you like in
any LUDWIG ad you will know that you
can 60 to the LUDWIG store and GET
THAT VERY THING. You can know
that it is THERE, that it is FOR SALE
on the terms advertised, that the price is
marked in plain dollars and cents, that
nobody in the LUDWIG store will even
TRY to switch" you into buying
SOMETHING ELSE.
If you knew how some illustrations for
advertisements are made in this big city.
you'd realize why this point is brought
out so strongly. So Well tell you how
some of them are made.
We know of instances innumerable
where pictures Of goods have been pub
hshed in advertisements when the mer-
chant who ran the ad didn't have any
thing like the pictured articles in stock
at all. He merely grabbed an old cut out
of a dump heap, sent it to the newspaper,
had it set up, corrected the proofs, gave
it his o. K. and let it go at that.
But, you say, suppose people ASKED
for the article illustrated, what would
the merchant do?
My beloved, unsuspecting friend, they
DO ask. Such is the power of advertis-
ing. You yourself have asked for things
you saw Illustrated in advertisements. If
the merchant was on the square, he
showed them to you. If he wasn't he
DIDN'T, but he got you interested in
something else AND YOU NEVER
KNEW YOU HAD BEEN
SWITCHED" And the chances are
you don't know to this very day!
YOU'RE easy. That's what's the matter
with you. You are putty in the hands of
a clever salesman. You go into a store
intending to buy certain things and you
buy something totally different. Not be-
cause you like it better, but because the
salesman Switches it onto you. AND
YOU CAN BET IT COST YOU MORE
THAN YOU INTENDED TO SPEND.
An illustration is not In illustration
when it misleads. 1t does not illustrate
the truth and is not intended to. It is
intended as a lure.
Every LUDWIG illustration is a con-
tract-a real illustration of the article
offered for sale. Let that fact roll around
in your brain a bit. Then go to LUD-
WIGS and buy what you want, not
what somebody else tells you you want.
Play safe by trading at a safe place.

SCOUTING Whales.

The prevailing impression that
whales spout water through their blow
holes Is declared to be incorrect. Ac-
cording to Professor Willy Kukenthal
Of Breslau, what has been taken for
fountains of water by sailors and 9th
ers Is really the breath Of the whale
charged with moisture, like the visible
breath Of a man on a cold morning
DR.. Kukenthal suggests that the
breath Of the whale is sent out from
the lungs under powerful pressure and
the expansion of it as 1t reaches the
air makes the vapor visible. a
whales blowhoies connect directly
with the lungs, but the mouth has nc
connection with the nasal passages, sc
that it is impossible for the water tax

out the fact that young whales do no
blow and larger ones are never seer
to blow on hot days.

He was an freshman, tall, broad
khouldered and red headed. They had
brought him into the hospital OIL a

see, he was troubled principally by

Farm Advice and Suggestion
ARE you PAYING MORE FOR
POWER THAN IT'S WORTH
Perhaps Replacing Horses With Farm
Traction Engines Would Put Money
Into the Pockets of Farmers.

Among others Professor III. r. Bone
bright. agricultural engineer Of the
Montana experiment station. believes
that some farmers are putting more
money in the form of horsepower into
crop production than they can possibly
get out of the sale Of their crops. He
says that I'm some instances as much
horsepower Is being used to produce a
small crop as is really necessary to
produce a large one. In other words,
he contends that there is an economic
waste on many farms on account OF
the high cost of maintaining Il horse
during the twelve months. considering
the small service that he renders unde
average conditions. This Is not equiv
alent to saying that every m1n can
greatly increase his profits by resorting
to the use of the tractor. There Is
room for the exercise of skill In han
ding this kind of machinery. and. fur
thermore. good judgment must be Used
In making the original purchase he
cause some types of machinery ere
very difficult for an amateur to opar-
ate. On these points Professor Bone
bright says:
Experience has shown that a knowl-
edge of the other facts of the scientific
side of agriculture. when not accom-
panied BY a thorough knowledge OF ma
chinery. often turns what should be a
successful venture into the --LATEST kind
of a failure.
Again. the mechanically ignorant
farmer stands an excellent chance Of
being sold machinery and motors which
are out of date or unsuccessful.

A CONFIDENTIAL CHAT IN
FAVOR OF HOME TRADE.
Many Reasons Why Dealing With the
Local Merchant Pays In the
Long Run.

Let us sit down a minute. friend.
and talk over this matter of buying
goods hat you don't see and feel. for
which you send your money a hun
dred miles or more. Let us suppose,
just for the sake of the argument, that
when you get it you aren't satisfied.
what then?
Well, | hear you say. They promise
to take 1t back and give me back my
money" Suppose they do promise. is
there any certainty that they will send
your money back when you want 1t
Immediately or send all of 1t back?
And isn't your time worth more to
you and frittering it away in CORE
spondence with a house 50 far away
that If its reply isn't satisfactory you
can't pack your hand grip and go and
get your money personally?
Perhaps you say, II can't get what
! want in my home town" That may
be so, but have you really tried? 1t
may be worth your while to go n little
out of your way and do your trading
at home. If one merchant on the
street near you hasn't got what you
want perhaps another. two squares
away. has it, or still another. a quar-
ter of a mile away from your home.
At any rate, ii takes less time TO try
to get the things you want at home
than 1t does to write for them and
wait for them to come from some city
far away, doesn't II?

at home are higher than they are in
the mail order houses" Are you quite
sure that, quality for quality. the
prices are higher? And even IL they
are slightly higher it Is worth some
thing to you to buy at home and not
spend your time writing for goods and
waiting for them. Perhaps If you and
your friends who send so much money
away from home to the houses far
away were to %patronize your neighbor
he could afford to put in a better and
more varied stock and thus give you
more and better goods for your money.
Then there are the other advantages
of buying at home-the helping of
to support himself and his family. the
helping to build up your home town
by keeping your money at home and
the return to yourself of part at least
of the money you spend at home.
Think it over. friend.

The Man Who Wins.

The man who wins is an average man,
Not built on any peculiar plan.
Not blest with any peculiar luck.
Just steady and earnest and full OF pluck.
When asked a question he does not
guess"
He knows and answers mo" or Yes"
When set a task that the rest can't do
He buckles down until he's put 1t through.
Three things he's learned-that the man
who tries
Finds favor in his employers eyes:
That it pays to know more than one Trims
well;
hat it doesn't pay all he knows to tell.
So he works and waits till one fine day
There's a better job with bigger pay,
And the men who shirked whenever they
could
Are bossed by the man whose work made
good.
For the man who wins is the man who
works.
Who neither labor nor trouble shirks.
Who uses mis- hands. his head, his eyes
That man h wins is the man who tries.

WHAT BURBANK HAS DONE.
Among Other Things, He Created the
Modern Large, Profitable Potato.

II have heard of Burbank, just as l
have heard of Edison, but what has
he done that is of practical and last
ing value?' asked a man who was dis
cussing Luther Burbank's work.
Out of the results of forty years of
daily achievement it Is hard to pick a
single Illustration
But there Is. for example, the COM
mon potato. T~hirty-ive years ago po-
tatoes were round, red skinned and
small.
The potatoes of today are long.
white skinned and large.
1t would be difficult now to find
specimens of those little. round. red
skinned potatoes of olden days, for the
Burbank potato has become practically
universal. II no longer pays to raise
the other kind.
Luther Burbank did three things to
the potato:
He increased its size.
lie increased the number that grow
In a hill.
And. third, he improved the quality
and favor.
The United States department Of az
riculture at Washington In one of its
bulletins has said hat the Burbank
potato is adding $4,000 900 a year to
the agricultural income.
On this basis and remembering that
Burbank products are not limited to
America. but are. In fact. better
known abroad than at home. 1t is easy
to compute that The Burbank potato in
the t~hirty-five years since its discovery
has added to farm incomes n grand
total Of about 5000. 10000.
The Luther Burbank society has
been chartered by the state OF Califor-
mia for the purpose Of aiding in giving
to the world the results of Luther
Burbank's forty years of plant breed
ing experiment. The society has no
capital stock. is supported by its mem
bership and is not organized for profit.

manned a student In a university which
she designated.
Arthur was eighteen and a half when
he entered college. He passed a splen-
did examination and was picked out
for head Of his class. His friend Ed
win Tyler, entering the same year,
managed to scrape through the exami-
nation. At the school from which the
two young men went to college was
Beatrice Ford, sixteen. to whom both
were ardently devoted. The brilliant
Leighton, however. was far in the lead,
and there was an understanding be
tween him and Beatrice that when he
was graduated they would become en-
gagged.
During the first year Leighton took
most of the prizes offered, while Tyler
barely maintained a small fraction over
a rating which would throw him out
OF college. Tyler was somewhat prom
inent In athletics, but he was espe-
cially interested In class politics. Not
being sufficiently scholarly to warrant
his appropriating any of the appoint
ments' 10 himself. he distributed them
among those supposed to be fitted for
them. Indeed, he was what might be
called the class boss" But In the
middle of the second year he was
caught one night hosting a calf into
the belfry and expelled.
Leighton was graduated at the head
Of his class. He had spent every a

ton they became formally engaged.
