FARMER A BUSINESS MAN.
Rural Man Must Be Successful Sales
man and Buyer.

Manhattan, Kan, Nov. 1O.-The
farmer of today is taking his place In
the world as a business man. The
farm of yesterday, which was social
and economic unit within itself, has
been transformed into a part of a
larger business organization, accord
ing to H. W. DAVIS associate profess
sor of the English language in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
This change in the organization of
the farming industry has placed new
obligations upon the farmer which has
made it necessary for him to become
a qualified business man, says this
authority on farm advertising. The
farmer must be capable of meeting
other men as a salesman and buyer.
Printed stationery is an important
and inexpensive method of obtaining
publicity, says Mr.. Davis. The letter
head should contain the name of the
farm closely associated with that of
the owner. The farmer should use
simple and neat illustration that will
indicate the type of farming in which
he is actively engaged.

water at hand the farmers of the
Artesian valley are turning their at
tention to more intensive cultivation
and the growing of crops which re-
turn large incomes.

FINK ARRESTED AGAIN
Former Enterprise Man Held For
Stealing Hogs

Manhattan, Aug. 19.-Stealing
hogs from freight trains is the
crime which Charles s. Fink admit.
ted here today, after his arrest by
the county authorities.
Several weeks ago the sheriff
learned that a stranger had been
marketing hogs on the local market
in small patches. The sheriff com.
municated with the railroad men
and learned that there was fire.
quently an unexplained shortage in
the number of hogs in a car and
that the seals of the cars we're found
TO be broken. Today when Fink
appeared before a buyer with four
or five hogs, one with broken leg,
the officers were called and Fink
was arrested. He later admitted
that he had boarded a Union Paci-
fic stock train this morning in the
west part of town and succeeded in
pushing six hogs out of a car. He
also admitted he had carried out the
practice here for some time, always
kicking" the hogs out while the
train was in motion to keep from be-
ing caught. Fink says his home is
at Ottawa, Kan, where he has a
wife and two children.
Fink's parents live near Enter
prise and year ago the local auth
critics were warned to be on the
outlook for him, as he was then
wanted for stealing hogs at Ottawa.
He was convicted on that charge.
