with it's purity of tone. He put his
head out the window and made sure
of the one from which the song came.
After that he went down to Ends
door.

At the end of a scant fortnight Enid
had sung her first song in the little
cafe. The clapping of many hands had

and sparkle to her eyes.
Enid realized that her throat was
no more troublesome. The fumes OF
tobacco in the cafe had no tickly effect
and she reioiced inwardly and decided
to ray a thankful visit to the doctor
who had put the idea of singing into
her head.

Helps For Advertisers
By J. w. Lafferty

Some men say they do not believe
in advertising, yet display so much
goods in front of their store that GUS
toners have to wiggle their way in;
if half the effort was used in writing
an advertisement that is used in NOV
ing that load of goods in and out
every day the result would be surpris-
ing.
There are many men who car
write a good honest straightforward
business letter and yet fall down in
writing a good ad. If you can do
nothing else, then write one of these
letters and publish it as a letter to
the readers of your home paper.
Style in advertisement is most es-
sential. Light face type lends itself
admirably to such ads as Stationers,
jewelers., Announcements, ETC., and
should be used with at least 1s-inch
white space between type and border,
the border should be in keeping with
the type used so that it will not de-

road crown or slope from the center
to the sides. For an earth road which
is "a feet wide the center should be
not less than 6 inches nor more than
IL inches higher than the outer edges
of the shoulder. The narrow road
which is high in the middle will be-
come rutted almost as quickly as one
which is too fiat, for the reason that
on a narrow road all the traffic is
forced to use only narrow strip.
Shoulders are often formed on both
sides of the road, which prevents
storm water from flowing into the side
bitches, retaining it in the ruts and
softening the roadway. These ruts
and shoulders can be entirely elimin-
ated with the road machine or split
log drag.
The width of the earth road will de-
pend on the traffic. AS a rule, 20 or
30 feet from ditch TO ditch is sufficient
if the road is properly crowned. Or
dinarily the only bitches needed are
those made with the road machine
which are wide and shallow. Deep,
narrow bitches wash rapidly, especial
ly on steep slopes. The earth road
should not be loosened, dug up, or
plOwed up any more than is absolutely
necessary 1t should be gradually
raised, not lowered; hardened, not
sOftened.
Charlevoix county herald., 1914-02-14

log should be from seven to ten feet
long, and from eight to ten inches in
diameter. IL should be split carefully
rs near the center as possible and the
heaviest and best slab chosen for the
front. When the soil is moist, but not
sticky, the drag does the best work.
AS the soil in the field will bake If
plowed wet, so the road will bake If
the drag is used on it when it is wet.
If the roadway is full of hols or badly
rutted the drag should be used once
when the road is soft and slushy.
The earth road can best be crowned
and ditched with a road machine and
not with picks and shovels, scoops, and
plows. One road machine with a suit
able power and operator will do the
work Of many men with picks and
shovels, and in addition will do it bet
ter. If the road is composed of fine
clay or soil it will sometimes pay to
resurface it with top soil from an adj
iacent field, which has sand or gravel
mixed with it. This method, called
the "tOp soil method" is now in sue
cessful use in many parts of the coun-
try.
Storm water should be disposed of
quickly before it has had time to pene-
trate deeply into the surface of the
road This can be done by giving the

What Ten Sheep Are Doing
Louis P. Haight,

The Sand Farmer met little boy
the other day, with a swollen face,
the result of an liberated tooth.
"What is the matter, SOM" said the
Sand Farmer. as he shut down his
machine, shave you got a tooth
ache ?"
EYES," said the little fellow, "and I
have not been to school for two days,
and / am getting behind"
1t didn't take long to run him to a
dentists and have the tooth treated,
but his words, 81 am getting behind
in school" remained.
Little Peter is as bright a boy as
any, but his parents are poor, and
under natural conditions he would not
be able to go to college, and will soon
be getting behind other boys who have
better advantages, and this boy sug-
gested an experiment. which might be
worked out on many farm, to start
the Little Petes" thinking about col
lege, and make it possible for them
to go IL they do their part.
The Sand Farmer bought ten ewes,
and told Little Pete that he would
deposit all the money received from
the wool anu ldmDS III the Ddnk, TO
Little Pete's credit, if he would faith
fully care for the sheep. The princi-
pal and interest will be used when
Pete is ready to go to college, to help
him work his way through, and from
time to time the result of this expert
ment will be mentioned, to show how
much he has laid aside for his college
course.
There are few farms in the country
that cannot support ten sheep, and If
the money derived from this little
flock was conscientiously deposited in
bank, for the sole purpose of giving
boy, or a girl, an education, there
would he few farmer boys or girls who
would have to remain at home, or go
into some factory in the town to work
because they could not get the needed
money to fit themselves for life. The
money deposited in the child's name,
centralizes his thought on the fact
that he is expected to go to college,
and helps him "hitch his wagon to a
star"

tract instead of attracting attention.
BORDERS or rule surrounding an AID
bring out the ad. in relief, but should
not be 80 attractive that the ad. will
be overshadowed by the Border or the
effect will be lost.
Some lines require bold type as il
in a way describes the goods. Such
goods as Farm Implements or any
other heavy lines look well in bold
type and black borders; here also the
judicious use Of white space improves
the appearance of the AID.
Try to be real in your advertising
let it reflect the conditions at your
store and the goods you carry; tell
vo"r story truthfully and the public
will believe in you.
If more time was spent in the study
of the ad. before it was sent to the
paper there would be less criticism
of it after the paper appears.
A bargain day every week is a good
form of advertising that has increased
the number of customers in many
stores. It's good idea to sell some
good household article on this day at
the actual cost. then display in the
store all goods that appeal to women
