BIG BUCKLES MUST BE WORN
Fashion 10 Insistent on This Point,
and the Smarter They Are the
Better the style.

Big buckles are emphatically to the
fore this season. They are to be worn
upon all manner Of hats save those in
tended for really ceremonious occa-
sions; as q fastening for evening
wraps and as claspingS for girdles and
collars upon daytime frocks. Therefore
II money isn't an object, be sure to
look about the shops for really smart
buckle or set of buckles. You Will
find them a-plenty, but the smartest
Of them are of square, oblong or oval
shape in chisel or jewel-set silver or
gold; IN Russian enamel; in Cloisonne
or metal; in hand-painted china and In
Jade. Some Of the handsomest buckles
are of a fabric like cloth Of gold or
silver, heavily embroidered; Of old
French tapestry threaded with metal
lie strands and Of hand'embroidered
velvet or satin.

age to try to fashion one Of fabric.
search among the trunks in the attic
for an odd shoe buckle. One OF these
in metal may be polished and run
through with a strip of black velvet

that the search may be rewarded by
the finding of a shoe buckle in English
paste than which there is no smarter
trimming for tailored hat in beaver
or velvet.

to leave this check plat, knowing that
the methods recommended by the
demonstration men are preferable and
believing that 1t would be a distinct
loss to farm according to the ordinary
methods.
In addition to this definite line OF
work the demonstration men are
urging improved live stock both for
beef and GARY purposes and are rec
ommending the purchase and use OF
pure bred sires both Of the beef and
dairy type, to breed up and increase
the herds already in existence. There
seems to be a tremendous interest In
dairy and beef cattle, but there is lit
tie money or credit to invest in stock.

sas and are willing to cooperate In
every way, both In offering farms for
demonstration work and in supplying
funds for local expenses. Each man
has about forty co-operators already
selected (the desired number) who
will undertake definite demonstra.
ton work in soil and crop manage
ment and many more are planning to
handle their land according to his
recommendation even though he will
not have time to visit them more than
once or twice year.
Four fundamental demonstrations
are planned, namely:
1. Spring blowing and summer fal.

2. Spring listing and summer fal.
low for wheat.
3. Early discing and listing to the
inter-tilled crops, kafir, milo. sweet
sorghum or corn.
4. Early spring listing followed by
listing to kafir, milo, sweet sorghum
or corn.
The two latter demonstrations are
by far the most popular, showing that
the farmers are beginning to have
more faith in forage and feed crops
and live stock than In wheat Each
man is urged to leave check plat to
be handled according to the usual
practices in the extensive agriculture

GUARANTEE TO THE BUYER
Advertising by Merchants Assures
Prospective Customer That He
VIII Receive Value for Money.
BY Seth w. Ward.

| OF what value is an advertisement
to the customer? We are all con-
sumers, so we are all interested in
advertising from this viewpoint. Why
should you trade with the merchant
who advertises? Why should you
buy product on which the manufac-
turer has fixed an advertised trade
mark?
1t is true that the advertisements
that you see serve as a bulletin or d.
rectory They tell you where certain
goods may be bought and save you
the trouble OF hunting for them. They
inform you of new inventions as they
appear Often they tell you of prac-
teal uses of the advertised article
that had never occurred to you be-
fore.
But advertising means more than
this to you. There is better reason
than these for buying from the adver-
tiser. Advertising Is a guarantee to
the buyer. When a merchant signs
his name to an advertisement or when
manufacturer stamps his advertised
trademark on his product he must
make good his claims for your pat
ronage.
Those who advertise know that in
this period of keen competition the
cost of selling you an article for the
first time is 80 great that no profit
Is left. Often a merchant really loses
money in order to bring you into his
a.,
to be a success you must return and
make other purchases from him. And
only through satisfactory service and
meritorious goods can he win these
repeat purchases.
In building up a great business a
merchant or a manufacturer invests
enormous sums of money in advertis-
Ing. II the article that he sells to
you by this means meets with your
approval, and you buy again, then his
investment brings returns and his
business is a success. II not. then
all is lost.
So, by advertising. the merchant
proves his own faith in the goods
that he has to sell. Every dollar that
ne SPENDS In advertising is at stake
guarantee to you of quality and
service.
That is what advertising means to
you, the consumer-that is where II
is of real value to you. Merit is
never matter of chance when YOU
buy from the merchant who adver-
tises-it cannot be. And that is one
thing that impresses me about adver-
Using.

Better Goods Demanded

one OF the greatest causes of the
high cost of living is the increasing
tendency of people to buy the better
class of goods.
IF you want a great bargain in a
hammer gum" said one of an adrnan's
acquaintances. go down to R.
where they are offering some very
good hammer guns at rock-bottom
hgures, just because most people want
hammerless these days"
The advertising man wanted a gun
and he went down to see the bar
gains. They were bargains, too-no
doubt about that. But the marked
down hammer guns did not have the
fine finish; they did not have that su.
perior look. The advertising man put
them down and asked for a new gun
of wellknown make-high priced. but
having the thoroughbred look in every
line.
He put it to his shoulder: he fon-
died 1t. No: he didn't buy a bargain
gun. Though he hunted but little he
wanted highpriced gun for that
little, and he set his heart on 1t.
Whether the gun selected is worth
three or four times the price of the
bargain guns is open to question. but
Its advertising and its fine finish
make it seem so. and that is what
counts.

Is not a large eater. Now a ten-pound
roast would last two people OF this
kind much more than a week. To
buy less prevents them securing the
best cut of beef, although when they
buy lamb 1t is quite possible to get a
good roast much smaller. An excel
lent idea Is to lay out a course in ad-
vance. Say something like this:
Roast beef one week, lamb the next
