The beet sugar situation develops q
great many different opinions. The
sugar company wants to cut the price.
on account Of the tariff. Growers al
Greeley and at Sterling are disposed TO
insist on the old prices or refuse to
grow beets and unless the companies
give in the factories at those places are
likely to close. At Morgan. according
to the Times, more beets will be grown
than ever before, despite the cut in
price. lowas only factory has an
nounced that it will close. but Mime
sofa factory is offering the Iowa farm
ers a contract for beets, which nets the
farmer little less money than he re-
ceiyed this year, but on account of the
freight the beets will cost the Minneso-
ia factory more money than they have
cost the Iowa factory the past year.
This leads to the belief that the Iowa
factory could have continued.

That was the result OF the only consecu
tive brain work the young fellow had ever
performed.
He had $1,000 in real money, and, by hook
or crook. was able to get few thousands
more with which to start an advertising cam
paign.
That is all there is to it,
Any one who can think for thirteen seconds
can do it.
He began to get orders for Is Soap in such
large patches that it was necessary for some
scheme to be devised whereby he could get
the soap.
Of course, the Old Man wasn't going to let
No. Is scare him away from large, juicy orders
for soap-because he only lived to make soap.
For thirty years he had not taken a vacation,
nor done any advertising to speak of, because
he loved to make soap.
In a little while the Old Man paid 100000
for his sons trademark, gave him 81 per cent
of the stock in a new company formed for :he
express purpose of keeping up with the orders
for 10 Soap and salary of $4,000 to stick to
the job
And then everybody turned his attention to
turning out the product, which was, after all.

by the hectic kilograms from dealers in Chicago
and points West who did not mean to be LETT
in the lurch without Is Soap.
The only reason the dealers showed any in
terest in the family row was that their Gus
toners were crying for 10 Soap.
The three acts of the farcically presented fact
merely emphasized the truth expressed some
time ago by Clowry Chapman that product
that is not trademarked is like Missouri mule
without either pride of ancestry or hope OF
posterity.
A trademark can be made more enduring
monument than any building. Bombs dropped
from Zeppelin cannot strike trademark.
Have the goods-and then advertise.
In the play the reverse was put on this PROPOSE.

The fact that the United States alone ex-

He would not have had the orders except for
