farmers IN Maryland who grow clover

Geld in windrows or cocks for several
weeks or even months after cutting

tho barn for threshing. The result OF
such exposure is that many seeds viii
terminate or become swollen 50 that
even though subsequently dried they
are OF no value or at best OF only very
low vitality
The clover should be allowed 70 be
come thoroughly ripe. IL the seeds
are not thoroughly dried in the head
when cut, and a spell OF wet weather
follows many seeds may be destroyed
The best practice is 10 allow the clover
20 become as ripe as possible without
loss from shattering when the seed
q harvested. Cut II in good dry wealth

exposure to rains. the same as hay

fensive Maneuvers Off Block
Island.

The Atlantic fleet, virtually in its
full war strength, yesterday began a
series of defensive maneuvers IN the
waters off Block Island near Newport.
X. l. The problems to be worked out
have been drawn from the lessons of
the European war, adapted to the de-

have been arranged TO embrace a gen.
eral war game. Details of the ma
neuvers are secret. The game will

It is question. parenthetica1ly. whether 1t is truly sportsmaniike to live in a quaint old colonial cottage with a furnnce and electric lights. ] have heard amateurs of the colonial declare that they would willingly die before they would live in an electrically lighted colonial cottage. The anach, rontsm horrihes them: they would oave death oi candles. Probably they feel the same way about furnace and | bathroom. Yet have no doubt that the builders of this coionia, cottage would have opened their hearts to all these inventions: and I am not sure tAGt tKsy would have regarded as anything but funny tho idea that their own kitchen paraphernulia would some day be used to decorate my dining room go further. Granting that electric light, furnace, and a bath. room are anachronisns in this quaint old colonial cottaga-what am l but an anachronism myself?

.TWO-TIME WINNER IF
 AID CONTEST TELLS HOW
Philadelphia Made Hardware )

The two ads submitted by pr. David Daniels in the monthly Philadelphia Made Hardware good advertising con tests were so good that we thought other contestants would benefit by a few of Mr. Daniels ideas. In re- sponse to our request, MT. Daniels has written out for us summary of his methods in preparing his own ad- vertising. We wish we had space to print his entire letter.
 Avoid Superfluous Words.
 Mir. Daniels touches upon one of the greatest of advertising principles when he says. Make your ad short snappy and crisp" There is no ques- ton about the value of this advice The advertiser must make his story short Anything tFat's long drawn out stands small chance of getting reading.
 Avoid the use of superfluous words. Condense your copy" says MT. Daniels Don't fill in your ads with extra words just because you haven't used all your space. White space in an advertisement makes the ad at tractive and more easily seen. Re member that you want your adver- tisement read" So endeavor to make it easy reading.
 Build Your Ad. "Your ad must be built. Plan it first" says MT. Daniels. Divide your space into three parts: CD An illus tration or cut of the article advert S. ed. (2) Your headline and few op- ening lines of text (3) The descrip- tion of the article to be advertised. I would select this special matter from a booklet, leaflet or catalog which you can get from the manufac- turer of the article.
 Give the Price. "If your reader sees an article ad- vertsed without a price, he may cas- ily be restrained from coming to your store to buy the article, because of his doubt as to the price," We understand that Mr.. Daniels advertising. prepared along these lines, has been markedly successful in producing sales.
