Charley Chaplin Tells
Funny Story of Past

Charley Chaplin, the comedian

gest salary of any Of 'em. said
at a supper party in New York:
Il didn't always make half a
million a year. | remember a
season when | was prompter in
an English provincial theater
for fifteen shillings a week.
Il worked harder than | do
now, too. In addition to keep
ing the actors to their ilines, l
had to make all the outside
noises.
Il thuLdeEed, galloped like a
horse, | sang like a woman, |
marched like an army, | howled
like drink -maddened mob and
| screeched like a locomotive, all
for fifteen shillings a week.
Il remember one night when
it seemed that the last straw
had been heaped on me. | was
letting off female shrieks of ter
ror, and laundering with one
hand and hailing with the other,
while my right leg was working
the moan of the wind and the
left was initiating the crash of
falling trees, when the leading
man stuck his head round at me
from the stage. He was sup
posed to be pursued by dogs and
he Kissed:
Bark, you chump, bark! Why
don't you bark, you lazy shirker?

MAIL-ORDER HOUSES
ARE ADVERTISERS
.om the Gearv (Okla.) Journal.

From the Geary (Okla.) Journal.
We think the home merchant
never had a more sincere or
constant champion than we are.
We have always and continu-
ously advocated the patronage
of the local merchant exclusively
because we are quite certain
that the individual life and fu-
ture welfare of the community
not only the town and the peo--
pie VINO live in town-but the
whole community, is bound up
in the fight of the home mer-
chant against the mail order
house.
There are times, however,
when we feel that we are taking
a lot more interest in the issue
than the merchants themselves
are. Our interests are natural
Iy bound up with theirs, but
after all it is the merchants
themselves who have the most
at stake and if they choose to
ignore the railroads or the mail
order houses, why should we
worry? One little word tells the
story of the successful methods
of the mail-order houses adver-
tising. Everlasting and continu-
Gus advertising expensive ad
vertising. The sort of adver-
tising that takes no count of the
cost so long as the results are
satisfactory; advertising that is
difficult to prepare and eXpen-
sive to distribute.
Still, in view of these things,
and with the greatest adver-
tising weapon in the world at
their command, there are many
merchants who will sit back and
say advertising don't do me
any good" or it don't pay in
my business" or they'll come
in and buy from me anyway
when they want anything |
have" or "the ads cost too
much money! can't afford it, "
or a thousand and one other ex-
cuSes familiar to the man who
solicits advertising for the local
papers.
Don't pay? Man alive! Listen!
If advertising did not pay every
mail-order house in the United
States would be in the receivers
hands in six months. Local
merchants have the means at
hand their local papers of
covering their trade territory
once a week with their message
to their customers at one-tenth-
yes one tWentieth-of the pro-
portionate cost to the mail-ordeT
people. Do they use that weap-
on? In many cases they do not.
They prefer to sit back and say
it don't pay or they can't afford
it.
Listen again! The local news
papers are just exactly what
the.home merchants make them
no more or less. 1t is the home
merchants that must support
them, and the home papers are
strength and a support to the
merchants in a thousand differ
ent ways, or they are not just
in the degree that the papers
receive the support of the mer-
chants.
The newspaper is powerless or
poWerful-just as the merchants
make it.
There is Just one answer-con
sistent and persistent advertis-
ing.

IMPORTANCE OF PURE WATER
That Flowing Through Muddy Ditch Is
Not Suited to Dairy cow-Fur-
nish Ample Supply.

A large amount of water is needed
by the average dairy cow for the up
keep OF bodily functions. In addition
to this. much more is needed in the
production of milk. as the latter con-
tains 81 per cent of water. Practical
dairymen have found that 1t is a good
policy to provide the COW with plenty
OF good. clean water. That flowing
through a muddy ditch is not suited
for dairy COW.
1t is also important that the water
be of mild temperature, especially in
cold weather. Ice water taken into the
stomach of the COW causes a shock to
the system that is not conducive to
high milk production. The tempering
Of this cold water in the cow uses some
of the energy that might be applied to
other purposes. In the winter, freshly
pumped water is much better than the
cold water in the tank. Tank heaters
aid in overcoming this trouble. A COW
will drink much larger quantity of
warm water in the winter time than OF
ice water.

CULTIVATION OF AN ORCHARD
Thriftiest Growth Of Trees
Also to Hold Moisture.

The main object in the cultivation
of a young orchard is to secure the
fastest, thriftiest possible growth of
the trees, without unduly endangering
them from disease attacks, or from
winter-killing occasioned by going in.
to the winter in an immature condi-
ton. Continuous cultivation through
out the growing season best conserves
moisture and liberates plant food.
These conditions make for a splendid
growth in the young trees. A good
supply of humus should be kept in
the soil of a young orchard at all
times, by dressing with stable manure
or growing and working in green ma
nure crops.
Sod culture. especially the growing
of a tough bluegrass sod, is unfit for
a young orchard, except on very
heavy, rich land. In such a place it
may be advantageous. II must also
be resorted to occasionally, in steep
locations. to avoid washing. Glover
or timothy should be used in prefer
ence to bluegrass.

Apple blotch is a disease which &C.
