While. there were years when 100

II considers that the Ford company's

increase of the other companies down

were duplicates, as in some cases cars

Pruning and Spraying Of Boys and
Girls

When We plant a peach or apple
tree. no matter how good the sort nor
how fertile the soil, nor how good
the cultivation, it will need pruning
The very vigor of the tree and the
choice environment will make II
grow in sort of wanton way, throw
ing out limbs that interfere with
each other to the ruin of both, and
marring the looks of the tree. II lie;
alone, it will grow too high, and throw
out too many limbs. 1t needs pruning
to keep the fruit within reach, to keen
back the water-sprouts to let in the
sunlight that it may give the fruit the
desired cOloring
No matter how good the boy is,
nor how worthy his father and mo-
ther. nor how perfect the home life
the very energy of the boy, the wild
wantoness of his strength, will make
him develope habits and manners that
need checking or changing. He needs
pruning. He needs training so that
each branch-so to speak-of his char
acter, will develop harmoniously and
without interference with some other
branch, some trait, a worthy, trait, too
or character. Often what seems to be
the worst is merely an exaggeration OF
our best. Our virtues turn to vices
il they are not under control, either
self control or otherwise. The boy,
like the tree, needs pruning.
No matter how good the tree, how
well cultivated or how well pruncd
enemies will attack it about the time
of fruit formation The codling moth
will get into the apples. the scab will
fasten upon them. Enemies will at
tack the leaves, the branches, the
bark and the trunk, and until we
learn how to take full advantage OF
the birds that help us in our perpe-
tuai warfare against insect pests, the
tree will need spraying.
And SO does the boy. He needs it

veloping from boyhood to manhood

lie in wait for them. (All this applies
to girls as well as boys.)
We need not go into particulars on
this point. We can tell them, if
they will ask us, how to use arsen-
ate Of lead or or Bordeaux mixture, or
any other insecticide or poison used
to kill off insects. We can not go
into details as to the particular met

haps even a better preventative than
a good school life, although both

friendship and personal contact. This is true
day for friendship and acquantanceshp are such
potent factors in the getting of business they once
were. In fact folks prefer to buy goods
from distance. They are influenced BY
the careful and clever cataloguing, advertising and
pricing of goods.
Retail dealers-you must advertise your wares
and their prices-not yourselves.
Some people en- JOY the advertisements in the ma
gazines almost much ass they do the articles and
stories Do you know why? Because the advertise
ments often interestingly illustrated and because
they tell something-they contain information.
The average advertisement in the country news
paper does not give much information There is often
great repetition of meaningless statements hence
a great waste of space.
Any retail business can learn to write fairly
good advertising that will get results. My future talks
will tell how this may be done.
