winter in cellars. The old method
Of pulling up the roots and burying
them with the heads down in the
ground is al good a way as any. They
remain frozen during most of the
winter and come out sweet and crisp

THE CUB SAYS

William Milburn is living on a
farm at Kimball. He has 80 acres of
sugar beets in good condition, also
20 acres Of good alfalfa. Mr.. Mil
burn says he hopes to make some
money this year. He advises water
ing alaflfa late in the fall and early
in the spring.
A. L. Garlic, of Kimball, is n of
the men who advocate an increase in
the dairy industry in this county. He
observes that the dairy men who ship
their cream, pay the freight, and he
thinks the industry could succeed If
it was handled locally instead Of ship
ping the product away.
Bud Parr is farming the George
Eaton place, but says he Is going to
farm for himself next year on his
claim at Brush creek. Bud has a
very expensive chicken coup at his
place, one side of it is made of a fine
enamal metal sign, which used to
tell people where to find the Red
Cross garage, but since it is made
into a chicken coup the travelling pub
lie do not read it any more.
A. c. Kluckholm, of Kimball, has
a patch of peas that he inoculated
with bacteria before drilling. The
purpose of the bacteria is to make
more nodules among the roots, and
these take the nitrogen from the air
to enrich the soil and feed the plants.
1t makes the present crop better and
leaves the soil richer. The material
for the incubation cost him five cents

81 acres between Firth and Kimball,

1t is said when John Howard Payne wrote "4ome, Sweet
Home" he himself was a homeless Wanderer in the streets. 1t
took a man who had no home to make the spirit of home immortal.
The reason why we of today do not appreciate a home more
is that t is too easy to have one. The place that our grandfathers
called home was little more than a shelter. They knew no COM
forts such as we have. They had few luxuries, but the thing that
they called home had been fought for, and so it was dear to them.
Today anyone can have a home almost for the asking. He
can fill it with big, comfortable furniture that will give him as
much comfort as used to belong only to royalty. He can have
beautiful draperies in his windows and fine pictures on his walls.
He can have a piano or a talking machine. He can have rugs
that are copies of the patterns in palaces. And he can do all this
on the most moderate, the most ordinary of salaries or wages.
Day by day this paper is filled with advertising that offers
every facility for the furnishing of the home. Not only can the
man with ready cash furnish his home on a moderate basis, but
even the man without cash can have all the comforts and luxu-
res he desires through a system of credit on home furnishings
which has now become almost national in it's scope.
This is the season when new homes are springing up on every
hand and the season when old homes are being remodeed and
%refurnished for another year. Therefore it is the season for home
furnishing opportunities which every live advertising merchant
is offering at this time.
Do not hold these ~homemaking opportunities too lightly.
Give these advertisers a hearing. What they are saying is real,
and what they are doing is making history. There has never been
a time in the history of the world when comfort and luxury were
as widespread amongst the people as they are today.
Look over this advertising today. See if you cannot add the
comfort of home to the pleasure Of your life, or see if you cannot
put more luxury and more material happiness into the home
you have.
Think of what you need most about your home and then look
for the advertising of those things in this paper today.

Man-Talk to
Men
BY j. r. HAMILTON
Former Advertising Manager Of Wanamakers, Philadelphia

Since the beginning Of organized society everything without a
name has ended with a question mark. The very reason why mar
rage itself has been able to maintain so much sentiment amongst
civilized races is that it gave to our children a name.
There is no virtue in a name itself, except that it throws the
light of investigation upon whatever the name stands for.
Now the object of this article is simply to get you to remem-
Der the names of the articles you buy or at least the names of the
people you buy them from. Because that is the only way of
increasing good business methods in this city.
In this last twenty years business men have discovered a new
method of establishing a name. They do it through advertising.
Now again there is no special virtue in advertising except
that it does two things. First, it sells goods cheaper, because it
sells more OF them. And, second, it shortens the time that it for
merly took to establish a name. There are just as honest business
men who do not advertise as there are who do. That is not the
point. The point is that they are not as good business men and
that you do not have any way of telling whether they are honest
or not.
Now there are a great many advertisers in this paper today
and every day who have established for themselves, Or for their
products, a good name. There is a lifetime of hard effort
attached to the signature of many of these ads, so you cannot
possibly do better than to read this advertising for whatever you
wish to buy.
When a man or a product has an established name, you know
where to go, if the quality does not live up to the guaranty.
So turn to the advertising in this paper today; read it, buy
it, and you will know that if at any time the thing you buy
right, the man with a name will make it right

OASIS ORCHARD
HAS 1000 TREES
Peaches, Plums and Winter
Apples Thrive on Bench
Land Near Anthony.

Anthony. y. NJ. sept S-One of the
prettiest and best kept orchards in this
portion of the valley is on the Oasis
farm. located on the bench land, one
nile north of Anthony. and one half
mile east Of the Canine Real. and
owned by r c. Adams, who filed on
the property nine years ago. The loca-
tion is ideal for an orchard and the
soil particularly suited TO the purpose.
1000 Trees Exceptional Healthy.
At present there are four and a half
acres planted with 1000 trees, of which
there are y varieties of peaches. six
varieties of plums, and four varieties of
winter apples The trees are exception
ally healthy and never have been tTou-
bled with diseases OF any kind One
acre of the orchard bore very heavily
this year. the trees being in their prime.
Up TO three years ago a windmill fur
nished the water for the place. but
since that time gasoline engine and
c. ntrifugal pump raises water from
leo foot well, the windmill being used
only for domestic purposes and the
stock.
The variety Of fruit in the Oasis
orchard has been chosen with great
care and is picked. packed and shipped
according TO requirements. meets with
ready sale and orders for more
Big Demand for Peaches.
In fact Mr. Adams was unable to sup
ply the demand for peaches. Mr.. Adams
expects to continue planting more trees
each year until his orchard Will rank
in size with any in the valley.
Makes Melons Pay.

watermelon patch of three and a half
acres. which has furnished melons for
this valley and a good supply for the

High Line Canal Would Help.
Although Mr.. Adams is making a sue

would welcome a high line canal with
a gravity flow. making it possible TO
handle a greater acreage and put in
grain crops.

is worth any ones time to visit and
