KennebeC Journal Ads
Give Practical HELPS

A S advertising took on this char
II acter, and was more and more
aimed to interest and inform
it gained readers. House wives
learned that through reading the
advertisements of the stores they
could really learn things about COM
modities and their prices, without
spending needless hours of "shop-
ping" Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertisements expand
ed with consistent and solid results.
All life and living tends more and
more to organization, to system, to
efficiency of method. Buying for the
home, almost the last of the great
businesses of the world to come un-
der the sway of "business methods"
at last felt the impulse toward eff.
cheney. The housewife learned that
she, too, was "in business" and that
she owed it to herself and to those for
whom she acted as buyer to see to it
that her task was performed with ef-
fciency and economy and wise judy
ment. Thus the circle of people in
fuenced by advertising widened and
expended in greater degree.
And the expansion of the circle
goes on. If merchant holds the at
tention and interest of the people in
this city who read and are influenced
in their buying by the advertise
ments he need not worry about other
people or 9th er problems.

~ 1ME was, and within the memo
ries of many of us, when but
few people read advertisements
and those with misgivings.
Advertising had not yet found its
proper place in the economy of life.
Much of it was neither informing
nor dependable nor of interest.
AS with other phases of life, time
brought changes. Little by little
the tone of advertising i mpro
and it came to be of use and service
to the people. It developed, gradual
ly, into a medium of information for
the people about commodities and
products and and facts and figures.

Dairy Instructor.
1.-The dairy interests Of the state have
been under the direct charge of ]. H.
Blanchard of Auburn, the dairy in
structor. Mr.. Blanchard has taken
very lively interest in this subject
which, added to his consummate ability
as an organizer and his untiring work,
has created a new interest in the keep
ing Of live stock, increasing the num-
Der Of COW test associations by more
than 100 per cent. The unfortunate
thing is that, after a COW test associ-
alton is formed, the work is too exact
ing for the price that is usually paid
and the tester unwillingly leaves his
job for more profitable work.
Institutes.
1.-THE regular institutes were con-
Quoted during the months of October,
November and December. We were
very fortunate in obtaining two able
speakers-R- G. Hynicka Of Lebanon,
Pennsylvania, who discussed the care
and breeding Of horses, and George v.
Smith Of West Wilmington, Connect
lieut., who spoke upon the raising of
poultry. These out-of-the-state speak
ers were ably supplemented by msn
from the state of Maine, among whom
were j. F. Buker Of Bowdoinham, e.
E. Addition Of Leeds and o. B. Griffin
of Caribou. Miss Aida A. Barrows Of
Augusta was also employed to speak
upon the domestic science side Of farm
ing problems, inasmuch as the home is
one-half Of the farm.
There have been, besides, very many
calls for speakers from different Sec
tons Of the state. These have come
largely from the grange We have sent
speakers in every instance and have
felt that it was a very desirable ar
rangement. The grange is an organi-
cation complete and perfect in itself,
with halls and audiences. and the de-
partment is able to reach a much lar
ger portion Of the people in this than in
any other way"

HAIL INSURANCE

II lost everything by hail'' is a state
ment often made by he Montana
farmer and frequently he adds, and |
hadn't a dollars worth of hail insur-
ance."
There isn't n farmer in Montana,
who owns a house, valued at one thou-
sand dollars, who doesn't carry fire
insurance. 1t isn't good business to
carry your own fire risks IT is equal
~ poor business to be without hail in
surance. The loss of one thousand
dollars by fire is no greater than "A loss
of one thousand dollars by hail
The more progressive farmers Of
he state are seeing the necessity of
hail insurance and are protecting
themselves by a hail insurance policy.
In few years the farmers of Mon
tana will consider hail insurance to
he equally as essential as fire insur-
ance.
Hail Insurance policies have aided
many farmers of this state to hold
their land until the crops of another
season could be marketed
Every grain grower should seriously
consider the adyisahility of insuring
his crop and now is the time.
