Plow your garden spot now.
Turn the bottom soil up and let
it be sweetened by freezing wea-

the ground again and you will
have a nice mellow garden spot.
After you plow the spot this

give it a heavy coat of barn ma
nnre. Turn the manure under
in the spring. All the better
part of the substance will leach
into the ground during the win

Systematic, honest; extensive
advertising is the best way to
compete with the mail order
houses, Governor Hodges told
the business men of Kansas City,
Kan, a few days ago at a meet
ing there. And he laid down
rule that if every merchant would
spend as much, in proportion, of
his profits in honest Advertising
as the mail order houses do, they
would have little trouble with
the mail order business. The
governor also declared that in
his opinion trading stamps are
detrimental to business and he
believes they should not be used.
Advertise extensively, and then
live up to your Advertising" the
said, "and you will not
be troubled with mail order
houses. You know you have the
goods your people want. Tell
hen about thsu."
