ing OF today, with which many of our
exchanges are fairly loaded is a sim
pie price list of special bargains.
Markets focus attention upon a few
special values, as a means Of getting
the public in the habit of visiting the
place.
A typical advertisement now lies
on our desk. 1t simply consists of
about twenty items OF special values
in black type, each giving the price.
"Pot roast. clear lean mean" Fresh
killed fowl" Large navel oranges,
are typical items.

any other mans wife knows about

senses than one. In the majority OF

Most wives have genuine interest
and some information about their

SEEKING FOOD SUPPLIES

The newspaper man who makes a
practice of looking over his ex-
changes must be greatly impressed
with the great amount Of space CIV
en- to advertising food products.
Formerly. the bulk of newspaper
advertising was done by about four
classes of dealers: Dry goods. mems
clothing and furnishings, furniture,
and millinery. These classes OF re-
tailers still furnish a big section OF
newspaper advertising But there
has been a great tendency for adver-
tising to spread out into other lines
of business, particularly into food
products.
A good number of market men,
provision stores, and groceries have
advertised for years. Many of them
have seen their trade grow large and
permanent thereby But in a great
many cases their publicity work was
confined to small and rather routine
notices, with no detailed information
about their goods. While this kind
of notice helps fix their business in
the public mind, 1t could have been
made far more effective.
The typical food product adyertis-

NEGROES BOUND OVER
FOR ENIBEZZL EAIFN 1

Andrew Beavers and Chas. GreeH
a couple Of negroes who live near
Bennington. had a preliminary hear
ing before Justice Jones at Benning-
ton Thursday on a charge Of obtain
ing money under false pretenses and
each was bound over to await the ac-
tion of the district court, their bonds
being fixed at $500 each, which they
furnished The facts, as alleged by
the county, are as follows; The ne
groes had been engaged to cut wood
for the negro school at Oberlin. They
delivered the wood and filed their
claim with the county for $500. The
account was allowed, but when the
deputy in the county clerks office
came to write the warrant, through
a clerical error. which anyone might
make, wrote the warrant for $50. 90
instead of $500. The negroes ac-
cepted the warrant and finally had
II cashed at the First National Bank
at Bennington. The county. mean
time, found the mistake, and de-
manded that the negroes make the
matter straight. which was refused.
County Treasurer Harrison then re-
fused to pay the warrant. and the
complaint of obtaining money under
false pretenses came through the
bank which paid out the money on
the illegal warrant.

Hope Plantation, and Mr. Thornberg had
himself selected some of a similar type.
The seed OF these plants Mr.. Thornberg
kept separate and he now has them grow
ing at Betty's Hope in rows. One Of these
plants is especially remarkable OH account
Of its heavy bearing qualities. He had
never seen so prolific a bearer and Mr..
Fonda who saw the row was also much inn
pressed by it. The lint was also good,
and he considered it a most valuable OBJ
iect lesson in seed selection, and would
ask planters to visit Betty's Hope to look at
it.
The President then proposed a hearty
vote OF thanks to Mr.. Fonda, which was
unanimously accorded.
After this the members proceeded to

ton varieties growing in and l acre plots

it was his custom to plant.
mr.. Fo0d1 said he would recommend
preparing the soil deep, and opening up a
furrow about four inches deep. He placed
three or four seeds in a hole When ten
or fifteen seeds are dropped there is a risk
in in%jurirg the plants when thinning out.
With better seed selection fewer seeds may
be planted with a good result, because the
plants are more vigorous. In America,
