The plow in an Old Orchard.

Any one who has attempted to pillow in
an old orchard where the turf has not
been broken for several years Will realize
how difficult the task is. 1t can be done,
but it is very hard upon trees, horses,
workmen and morals. The roots OF trees
that have long been in sod are very near
the surface, and in spite of the greatest
effort to avoid blowing deeply, many OF the
roots are sure to be broken, which seri-
ously affects the nutrition OF the trees.
The most serious objections, however, to
the use of the pillow for this work are the
great difficulty in operating it and the ap-
pesrance Of the field after the job Is I'm
ished. The pillow leaves the surface in an
irregular condition, with many roots pro-
iecting above the ground. By using q
cutaway harrow the work may be done
more expeditiously and economically, and
the result will be more satisfactory

1T PAYS TO ADVERTISE.
What Fra Elbertus Hubbard Has To
Say About IL.

What Fra Elbertus, Hubbard Has To
Say About 1t.
He who imagines that modern advertise
bicuspidati diplidocus, and would do well
to come out of his comatose state and cur
cycomb his convolutions.
Advertising is the education of the pub
lie as to who you are, where you are and
what you have to offer in way of skill,
talent or commodity.
Let the truth be known about your
business.
The only man who should not advertise
is the one who has nothing to offer in way
OF service, or one who cannot make good.
All such should seek the friendly shell
ter OF oblivion, where dwell those who,
shrouded in Stygian shades, foregather
gloom, and are out OF the game.
Not to advertise is to be nominated for
membership in the down-and out club.
The idea of the ''ethical dentist" who
retains from advertising was originally
founded on the proposition derived from
the medicos that advertising was fakery.
This view once had certain basis in fact,
when the only people who advertised were
transients. The merchant who lived in a
town assumed that every one knew where
he was and what be had to offer. The
doctor the same.
This no longer applies. We are living
so fast, and inventing so fast, and chang
ing SO fast, and Their are so many of US,
that he who does not advertise is left to
the spiders, the cockroaches and the mi
crobes.
The fact that you have all the business
you can well manage is no excuse now for
not advertising.
The reputation that endures, or the in
stitution that lasts, is the one that is prop
erly advertised.
Advertising is fast becoming fine art.
Its theme is Human Wants, and where,
when and how they may be gratified.
1t interests, inspires, educates-some-
time amuses-informs and thereby uplifts
and benefits, lubricating existence and
helping the old world on its way to the
Celestial City of Fine Minds.

HUSBANDS HAIR
If 1t Is Thinning Out or Full OF
Dandruff, Use Partisan Sage.

Dandruff, Use Partisan Sage.
Most men are careless regarding the
care of the hair-not until it comes
out by the combful do they really take
notice. Then it may be too late.
If your husbands hair is getting
thin; if he has dandruff or the scalp
itches and burns-take immediate ac-
ton; do no let him become a bald
head.
Get from G. A. Iarcher a 50-cent
bottle of Partisan Sage. Rub it well
into the scalp every night. The first
application will remove dandruff
When the hair stops falling and the
new growth appears, use every night
until the hair is thick and abundant.
Partisan Sage is delightful and in
MIGRATING hair tonic for men, women
and children. 1t is scientific prepara-
ton based on thorough knowledge
of what is needed by the hair and
scalp to keep them perfectly healthy
and remove dandruff, stop scalp itch
and falling hair. Surely try Partisan
Sage.

youngsters. used to think It great fun
to sneak out behind the barn. with a
cigarette made Of cornsilk and brown

try the same thing again. You won't
be able TO smoke enough to hurt your.
self, and there's no danger OF contract
ing the cornsilk habit.
Dime novels make good summer
reading. They are next to the Bible
for vacation reading. but take the 81
