WHY WRIGHTS BOOKS SELL.

Perhaps the simplest way in which
to sum up Mr.. Wright is to say that
he employs the Salvation Army meth
DDS. His style is largely suggestive
of the drum and the tambourine; his
attitude is the uncompronising atti-
tude of the revivalist, he ruthlessly
divides his sheep from his goats, ON
nipotently thrusting the latter into
outer darkness. And because so many
people are still secretly old fashioned
in their beliefs, still look upon our
big cities as modern Sodons and
Gomarrahs, they find his hectic de-
nunciations of the sins of society as
soul-satisfying as our Puritan ances-
tors found the fire and birthstone of
the Sunday sermon. Is this an exag-
geration Let US examine briefly "The

is clear out of the question to throw
ground up 16 inches deep, but the
pillow they use for this work does not
throw the bottom ground up on top

pared by other methods and if it does,

American Farmer
Must Feed Beef
Up to Minnesota Stock Raisers and
Corn Growers to Be Foresighted
i'm Combination of Products
Europe Must Look to United States
for Beef and Leather; Wall Street
Journal Gives Tip

The Wall Street Journal has been
profoundly impressed by a statement
made by an official of the Department
of Agriculture. The official said that
this county faces the possibility of
beefsteak at fifty cents a pound and
shoes at ten dollars pair. 1t would
be well for the rest of US who are
nearer the sources of production, if
we could drive home this situation to
the farmers of the Northwest.
Must Raise Cattle
This nation has got to be fed, and
it cannot be fed upon wheat and corn
alone This Nation has got to walk,
and it cannot walk unless hides pro-
vide leather to make shoes for a hun
dred million population. These re-
marks are SO self-evident that it
seems almost ridiculous to have to
make them, yet the decline in the
number and the increase in the price
of cattle to such a degree as to call
forth prediction of ten-dollar shoes
and ffty-cent beef would seem to in
dictate that the Northwest has not
begun to appreciate the prime i'm
portance of cattle raising.
The Wall Street Journal calls at
tention to the fact that bankers give
preference to the would-be borrowers
who keep livestock And why? Be-
cause the farmer who goes in for di-
versified farming is in a safer and
more stable condition than the one
who runs the risk of all grain pro-
duction. As Shakspere put it, man
has taken a bond of fate" if he
raises pigs, poultry and cattle be-
sides his crops. This need of diversi
fed farming is simply an application
of the old adage about having all the
eggs in one basket
Where is Europe going to get her
beef when this war is over?
Let the farmers of the Northwest
carefully consider this question, and
then take immediate action in order
that they may reap the benefits of
the opportunity that awaits them

Fat for frying should not be hot enough
to brown the doughnut until it has risen.
When the doughnut is dropped into the fat
it sinks to the bottom. As soon as it comes

He entered large commission house,
one of hundreds that make their head
quarters in that neighborhood. Over the
1857" Making his way between the bar
rels of produce he came at last to an Office
in the rear. "Mr. Simmons in?" he called.
A white-haired man rose.
"Sorry to trouble you, Mr.. Simmons,
smiled Maddy. "But will you change
twenty-dollar bill for stranger? Thank
you, sir. Not much danger of starving
to death around here"
The old man came out of the cage, as
fine figure as ever stood in back
ground of turnips and onions, and inter-
ested without knowing it) in Maddys
fresh color and his evident curiosity about
the barrels.
"Young man," he said, "I'm going to
show you some of the biggest alligator
pears you ever saw in your life, and he
led the way out to the sidewalk The
next store was on the corner. 1t was
empty.
"A place like yours is liberal educa-
ton, Mr.. Simmons" said Maddy at last.

kindness either. If you got any more
stock in here, suppose you'll be renting

mo; we've got room enough. You
know, I've often thought this corner
store would make good place for bank.
The nearest bank is a dozen blocks
away"
Right then and there Maddy conceived
the Second Great Idea of his life.
"Mr. Simmons" he said, quickly turn
ing and holding out his hand, eff Or
ganize national bank in this neighbor-
hood, will you be one of its directors?"
"If you can get the right people in it,
"why, yes-provided, of course, that
everything else is satisfactory to me-"
We'll shake on that" laughed Madi-
gan exultingly. dts go, Mr. Simmons!
It's go!"
IN and out of the commission district
weaved William M. Madigan, every
line and every move of him full of health
and confidence and sincerity.
"Mr. Brown? Pleased to meet you'll"
This was Maddy's form of greeting.
"You know Mr.. Simmons of Sim
mons & Son? Of course. He happened
to suggest the other day how handy it
would be to have bank in this neighbour
hood. So I'm organizing one,-the Abing-
don National Bank, named after Abingdon
Square. Mr.. Brown, I'm here to ask you
two questions. First: Wouldn't you like
to be a stakeholder in your present bank,
and get your share of the profits and sur
plus? Second: Do you know any surer,
easier way of making money than buying
few shares of bank stock at par, and
watching it climb?
"I'll tell you right now, I'm not after
money. I'm only after names-and, by
Jove! they've got to be good names too!
Mr.. Brown, there are seventeen reasons
why you should add your name to this
subscription list-why you should write
it down with this pen and blot it with

carried papers in Milton twenty years
ago, and how some of the girls pretended
not to see him when they met, because
of the papers under his arm and the
patches on his trousers.
"But she always noticed mel" grinned
Madigan, and he addressed the second
twenty-dollar banknote to the girl who
had waited two years.

his experiences in developing Long Island

man but it merely nettled Maddy. "These
folks have made their friends and con-
nections, he thought "and they haven't
much use for an outsider. So it's up to
me to make friends and connections too.
I'll go right out and see Miller"
He walked briskly along Broadway un-
til he reached the Realty Tower, and there,
on the twenty-fifth floor, world-weary
clerk took his card and disappeared into
an inner room. Through the open door
Maddy heard an indifferent voice:
"Madigan? Who's Madigan?"
The owner of that name strobe along
the hall until he came to that door, and
there he wheeled right in. "How do you
do, Mr.. Miller" he cried. am Madigan!
Madigan's the man who put Mapesville
on the map, and I've just dropped in to
tell you about it,
MYRON MILLER frowned. His face
and hair were study in pink and
silver and the perfection of his clothes
indicated valet who was an artist in
his line. Nevertheless the slight contrac-
ton of his brows was as unmistakable as
longshoreman's rage, and Madigan knew
he was in for struggle
As matter of fact, the King of New
York Realty Operators showed his dis
pleasure for three reasons. In the first
place, he had lately acquired fashionable
wife and aristocratic tendencies; where

Jared him. Secondly, he had met so
many glad-handed pirates with intricate
designs for scuttling his checkbook that
he was suspicious of every smile, of every
pleasant word. And in the last place,
two of his banks had just intimated that
a reduction of his loan account was not
only advisable, but Imperative; and at
that period of his history Miller was up
to his frowning eyebrows in so many deals
that ready money and the breath of life
were hardly anything more than synony-
nous terms with him.
He listened to Madigan with the wall
eyed expression of man who is thinking
of something else.

Naturally"
II can sell lots on commission basis

"There are many men who think the
