Navy Bean Makes Excellent War Crop;
Easily Grown.

Navy or field beans is one of the
easiest crops to grow in Missouri
and to the southwark Beans will
make a good yield on poorer soil
than almost any other farm crop
They may be planted then on soil
which will not produce a good corn
crop. Even on thin Missouri soils
they will not require fertilizers.
They can be planted lat, after the
spring rush Of other crops is over.
They will demand only one. third
the cultivation required for corn.
In Missouri a yield of from ten to
twenty'f five bushels may be ex-
pected in a favorable season and
with average care. These advan-
tages, together with their high food
value and the ease with which they
can be stored, make navy beans
an excellent war crop.
Field beans should be planted in
Missouri any time between June
IS and the second week in July.

JIM CRUSTIBLE'S ADVERTISING,
Quit it to Practice Economy and Then
Quit Several Other Things.

Quit it to Practice Economy and Then
Quit Several Other Things.
We have always known that Jim
Crustible, who ran the store at 72o
Commercial, was one of the shrewd
business men of this town. You
could never tell Jim anything, and
when he figured it out, it was so,
and that was all there was to it.
We were talking to him yesterday
about a theory he had two years
ago, and Jim says she's working
like charm.
Jim had notion that it was
costing him too mortal much
money to do business; that his
overhead was too heavy, so he says
to himself: "I'll just save ST.. SO a
month by cutting out Advertising"
And it did certainly look reason
able. There was S17.5o every
month in the year, and sometimes
$25 during the holidays or in the
fall, when trade was brisk, and in
the course of the year it amounted
to two or three hundred dollars.
And Jim's head was working like a
tack, when he con Guided that every
one knew his place of business.
Of course; why, every Saturday the
place was crowded with farmers,
and dozen young fellows in town
dropped in every day to buy a
little something and chat with him.
So he quit advertising. And
that's the funny thing about it.
His scheme worked. 1t really
didn't cost old Jim SO much money
to do business. The books showed
that he saved the two hundred a
year and more by cutting out ad-
vertising and at the end of the year
he found where he could get along
without out one of his clerks. The
farmers didn't bother him so much
as they did, and his town trade
wasn't forever hectoring him about
things people saw in the paper.
So he dropped clerk and saved
that five hundred. There was
seven or eight hundred dollars he
.saved-and, say, Jim Crustible was
certainly proud of his headpiece,
the way he calculated it all out
You certainly can't tell Jim any.
thing about business. He is the
man who put the come in COM
merce-originally.
He got the saving streak we'll de-
veloped after dropping the clerk,
and worked out scheme to save
on the rent. So he moved off Com
mercial on to the avenue last No
vember. and saved four hundred
year in rent-slick and clean
all good, easy money. There was
nearly hundred dollars month
he d saved from his overhead, and
so he found that the other clerk
was just pensioner, as you may
say; he wasn't doing anything
much. And you can't fool Jim
Crustible about a clerk; so jim
ups and lets the other clerk go,
We were in to see Jim the other
day His scheme certainly is
working, though we should be the
last to say it, as it is a give.away
