The Farm Name Has Advertising Value


acres back in the days of the pioneers.
Then if the farm is near and dear to
you, and worthy of your best efforts,
and capable Of producing bigger and
better crops, herds and fiocks, why de-
lay longer in christening it?
Here are some characteristic farm
names: Hillside, State Line, Wayside,
Sunnybrook, Three Oaks, Riverview,
Fair View, Lone Pine, Maple Lawn and
The Knobs, based upon location and
environment; Wern Farm, The ManX
Farm, Anoka Farm and Bairdland, fam
lily, ancestral or traditional names; and
lastly, such titles as Hearts Desire,
Hadisway and Homeatlast, based upon
some fanciful suggestion.
OF course, farmers do not often
name their farms for sentimental rea-
sons alone. It's good business, and
they know it. 1t pays to advertise.
On this, Charles Dillon, a well-known
agricultural writer, has recently said:
"Why don't you advertise, Mr..
Farmer? Get a name for your farm
and then advertise your farm by name.
Suppose you choose the name of Fair
view. Then buy under the name Fair
view, sell under the name Fairview,
have your butter marked Fairview,
print Fairview on your berry boxes
and have eggs marked Fairview, paint
Fairview on your wagon boxes and
have Fairview printed on your letter
heads and envelopes. 1t won't be long
before the name of your farm is
known and the people will be calling
for your products. The town mer-
chant advertises and the farmer can
just as we'll advertise his butter, eggs
and produce"

in the service of Italy," are not only
the kings words, but they express an
actual condition.
The other day the soldiers fighting
on the banks of the IsOnZo were dis
cussing telegram which said that the
king had shared dangerous march
with the Alpines and had decorated
with his own hand a corporal and two
privates who had accomplished feats
in his presence. The men, believing
the king still in the TrentinO, were en-
vying the Alpines their luck in having
him with them. when a cry arose. ''The
king!
And cries of Long live the king"
grew nearer as the monarch in gray
green uniform, without any stripes, ap-
peared on horseback. The enthusiasm
was intense. Men crowded round the
royal visitor so thickly that his horse
could not move
"What do they want, these brave
fellowsY said the king to his aid.
"Do they expect me to cry Long live
the kingv as we'll? That would be
too much
Then raising his cap in the air he
shouted, Long live the soldiers Of
Italy,
This brought more cheering and
more crowds to cheer, until the officers
had to order every one to the ranks
to give the king room to move.
And off he went to another point Of
the battle. This royal Indifference to
danger is the admiration Of the troops,
but a source of anxiety to the general
issimo.
The other day, for example, the king
was in the midst of his troops when a
shrapnel shell passed over his head,
the 'forerunner of further projectiles Of
the same kind. According to the regu-
lations, every man should throw him
mark for the bursting fragments. The
king seemed to hesitate, but private
near him took him by the shoulder and
made him bend down.
Just then the dust thrown up by the
shell fell ON the king and covered him.
The king raised his head. took up a
little of the earth that had fallen on
him and said, "It is good omen
General Cadorna, however. on this
occasion was almost angry. He did
not, as has been reported, put his king
under arrest. but he begged him to
remain for at least five days at a GER
tain distance from the front. The king
quietly replied. 81 obey"

Paris.-The telegram saying that the
king of Italy had been made a cor
poral in the Third Zouaves of the
French army made a great impression
in Italy, the Rome correspondent Of
LIE Temps writes; all the greater, as
Victor Emmanuel III. is rapidly gain
ularity won by his grandfather, who
was always proud of having been
named corporal after the victory of
PaleStro.
Although the Italian constitution
gives the king the right of peace and
war and the command in war of all
land and sea forces, Victor Emmanuel
has insisted on acting as simple gen
eral, taking orders from the generals

| During his conversation recently with
PeppiRo Garibaldi he spoke chiefly
about Joffre and his generals. Later,
while he walked for over an hour in
the gardens of Villa Ada with Gabriel

about the French army which the poet
could tell him. However easily, there
fore, he could have assumed the part
of generaliSsimo he has gone to the
other extreme and never gives even an
opinion unless he is pressed to do so
by the generalissimo himself.

THE STORY Of THE
COAT COLLAR
DANDRUFf!

We often see ell-dressed
men of otherwise splendid ap-
pearance, with coat collars
and shoulders marred with
the tiny grains of dandruff.
Yet this disgusting condition
is easily remedied. If the
hair is given a good hard
brushing daily and Speiser's
Scalp Tonic is used in con-
nection, dandruff will soon
disappear.
Above all things, avoid
preparations containing CO.
ooanut oil or alkalis. Foam
ing solutions always contain
alkalis as do all soaps. They
serve to dry out the scalp and
cause more harm than good.
Speiser's Scalp Tonic gives
immediate relief and its con-
tinued use soon restores the
scalp to it's naturally healthy
condition. 1t sells for soc
and can be obtained only at
O'Donnell'S Drug Store, GOA
+ Street. Mr.. O'Donnell has
such faith in this preparation
that he offers to refund the
money should it fail.
