GOOD ADVICE TO
THE LOCAL PREACHERS

Caldwell has now her full quota Of
preachers, each of the popular
churches having a good man. The
Hired Man sends these ministers his
greetings and extends little fatherly
advice. This particular region has
more use for a poor warm man than
for a wise frigid one. One of the
weakest preachers Caldwell ever had

tween the cayuse and the Percheron.
We have just enough sedateness in
us to make US worth while and lust
enough of the Pinto to make us ROM
pish. They tell some pretty hard
jokes on some of us about not having
the Simon pure article when it comes
to religion, but you will find quite
good material here and there. just
give us Sunday after Sunday the story
OF Jesus carrying his cross about with
him. Never mind which of you gets
the biggest crowd. We go to Can

preaching which will stop US in our

pie to come out to hear you, let them
stay at home. Now if you have some
suggestions for the folk that you do
not want to print over your own
name, just hint them to the Hired
Man and see how soon they will be
out. We want good mixers, but yet
after all, the man who has joshed and
fummed about with us all the winter,
doesn't have the real weight with us
when death is feeling for the cords of
our heart, that the earnest plodder
has, for whom we may have even en-
tertained thoughts of dislike some
times when the red blood was rushing
through our veins, but who now looks
forth good through the CLASSY film

THE PROBLEMS OF RETAIL
TRADE.
Eoor Always Open to Attract Trade
From Surrounding
Towns.

If the merchants can attain a uni
ty like that described in our last ar
ticle, a town can always make a
large expansion. No matter how
strenuously the merchants may COM
pete with each other, the total home
trade of the town is limited by it's
population. A business can only get
about so far before it runs up against
the blank wall created by the limi-
tations of the towns size.
But the opportunity is always open
to attract trade from the surround
ing country. The free use of auto
mobiles increases this chance amaz-
ingly. There are many people with
motor cars who are making it reg
ular practice to trade in towns 25 to
so miles distant, sometimes even
more. They are roaming around the
country all the time that the roads
are good. The women look in the
store windows quite as eagerly as
at the scenery. The men have an eye
for what looks like good business en-
terprise too. And there is constant
stream of people who are travelling
over the railroads in the search of
good bargains.
1t takes both individual advertis-
ing and community cooperation to
get this distant trade started. The
idea of Merchants weeks, trade bar
gain days, etc., is spreading all over
the country. An announcement that
all the merchants of a town have
agreed to give bargains on a certain

story. Prince Albert is made by n
patented process that cuts out the
bite and parch, which makes the to-
bacco so mighty agreeable and sal
isfying to men of every taste of ev-
cry civilized nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this pat

Prince Albert makes it possible
for every man to smoke pipe or to
roll his own cigarettes. And, no mat

Albert cannot bite or parch. That Is

ing for the smoker only the joys of
the fragrant tobacco.
It is a fact that since Prince Albert

day will draw people from many
miles around If the visitors are
pleased they will come again.
These enterprises are successful
only when the merchants generally
agree to give special bargain values.
1t is hard for few of the merchants
to get the current started. Everyone
needs to take hold, if the thing is to
be made a success.
There are too many merchants who
are unwilling to help in such efforts
unless they can see a profit coming
right off. Successful expansion OF
trade is not built up in that way. 1t
is slow growth, and few new enter
prises or trade currents pay the first
year. The merchants must take hold
with an idea of building for the flu
ture, forgetting all grouches and
Isorenesses caused by competition. II
this spirit prevails, the town will
grow, and the people will flock to it
from many miles around.

HOW CHURCHES MAY ADVER-

Conference of Religious Workers

Century.

Should a church advertise-and
how"
This was the keynote of confer
ence of ministers and advertising
men from all parts of the country,
which opened Friday in Willard hall.
the Temple, Chicago under the lead
ership of the educational committee
of the Advertising association of Chi
cago. The conference, which is the
result of a year of study of the prob
lem, was called to interest ministers
in the necessity of advertising the
benefits of church attendance.
I'VE have been working on the
subject for year" said Arnold
Joerns, president of the Joerns Ad-
vertising company, and chairman OF
the associations educational COM
mittee. 1.-THE church, to be effective,
must be run on a business basis. 1t
must place its appeal before the peo-
pie. There are so many attractions
that compete with church attendance
that if churches are to fulfill their
function they will be forced to adver-
tise. The moving-picture show, the
social centers and other forms of So
cial attractions must be reckoned
with"
The conference, which is entirely
non-sectarian, has attracted some Of
the most noted authorities on church
publicity, including Charles L..
Sickle, formerly pastor of the Labor
Temple, New York, and the Rev.
Christian F. Reisner, pastor Of Grace
Methodist church, New York. Among
the problems to be discussed are:
What will bring the business man
to church,"
"How is the problem which a
church meets when the character OF
its environment has changed from
what it was in its youth to be metz"
What forms of advertising will
best reach the audiences sought by
different churches?"

ROCK ISLAND DIREC-
TORS IN IMPORTANT SUIT.
Judge Mayer of United States Dis
trict Court Gives Important
Rock Island Decision.

In the United States District Court
in New York City, February 81,
Judge julius Mayer handed down al
order authorizing Walther G. Moves,
as receiver of the Chicago, Rock Is
land and Pacific Railroad Company,
to settle and compromise all the
claims of the receiver and the rail-
road company against the directors
for $750,000, paid by Daniel G. Reid
and William H. Moore. The order is
the result of a petition by Judge
Noyes, as receiver, supported by the
affidavit of Charles E. Rushmore,
counsel to the receiver.
The chief claims asserted that the
purchase of the Frisco system was "a
violation of the Sherman act and re-
suited in great loss to the railroad
company and that dividends had been
paid out of current earnings when
the capital of the company was i'm
paired by the sale of the Frisco stock.
The affidavit of Mr.. Rushmore, sup
porting Judge Noyes' petition for
leave to settle, stated the belief Of
the receiver and his counsel that the
receiver could not successfully liti-
gate the claim and that no liability
could be successfully asserted against
either Reid or Moore.
The defenses of Messrs. Reid and
Moore and the ether directors have
thus received the sanction of tie
court, and they are absolved from all
liability, to either the receiver, the
company, the stockholders, or credi
tors.

HOME MADE ARTICLES.
Girl Makes Interesting Scrap Book.

You girls who are fond of home
made articles may gather welcome
idea from what am going to tell you
about homemade scrap book that
while visiting in another state.
The owner of the book, a girl of
twenty years, is very fond Of both
pictures and poetry. Having cam
era, she conceived the idea of getting
up a collection of photos of her own
taking to illustrate favorite quota
tions from her favorite poems. When
she told me, on offering the book,
what it contained wondered where
she found scenes in that community
to illustrate lines written years ago,
many of them in places far distant
from her home But she had done re-
markedly we'll, as / think you will
agree:
The first page of the scrap book
carried a picture of a tangled mass
of woodland. Under it the girl had
penned the opening lines of Longfel-
lows "Evangeline:
This is the forest primeval.'
A landscape scene, taken on a win
ter day fitted Whittier's Snow
bound"
THE sun that bright December day
Rose cherries over hills of grey"
The vine-covered school house in
which she had received her educa-
tion-naturally dear to her memory
had been photographed and under it
were the lines from Dickens:
"a rare old plant is the ivy green
That twineth Ger ruins Old
A snap of her small brother at
play, barefoot and in overalls had
served to illustrate others of Whit.
tiers lines admirably:
blessings on thee, little man,
Barefoot boy with cheeks of tam

or thirty photos, each illustrating 3

admirably carried out, as anything

no ENFORCE SPRING GAME LAW
Iowa Hunters Will Have No Immu-
nifty, Says U. S. Official.

Iowa City, Ia, March 6.-Prof.
Frank E. Horack, of the political
equality department of the State
university, has been informed by the
United States bureau of biological
survey that Iowa hunters have no
immunity from the federal law
against spring duck shooting.
A few days ago when DR.. Horack
noticed newspaper articles stating
that the conflict of the Iowa law with
the federal statute would make the
latter ineffective in this state, he
wrote to DR.. T. S. Palmer of the
government bureau. In reply, an adj
ministrative assistant declared that
the department would prosecute ev-
cry violation of the law of which it
could secure evidence.
AS soon as the Supreme court de-
cides as to the constitutionality of
the law, however, the department
plans ito undertake a general revi-
sion of the regulations and make ey-
cry reasonable concession to sports
men and gunners consistent with
proper conservation of wild life."

The straw plating is made by the peas antry. It is a home industry, as is that of the Swiss wood carving De- spite it's isolation in the midst of great industrial competitors and its lack of almost all of the important raw mate rials, it is to it's mills and factories that Switzerland mainly owes it's wealth.
 The mountain republic derives less support from it's agriculture than does any country in Europe except Nor way, for only about one-sixth of it can be titled. Many of it's farms have been coaxed into being on the abrupt mountain sides, and to till them is al- most as dangerous a task as that of the structural iron worker on a sky scraper Fully half of the country lies above the zone of agriculture, and much of the soil that could be made productive is used as pasture land. Switzerland grows hemp, flax, cara way, fruits (citron, lemon, mulberry, orange, olive and pomegranate) corn, maize, oats, poppies, potatoes, barley. rye, spelt, saffron, tobacco and wheat. In normal times it had to i'm port from Russia, Hungary and the United States three times as much wheat as it produced. It produces con- siderable value in timber.
