MANY PUTTRUST

Never Satisfied With Those
Things With Which They
Are Familiar.
inclined TO TAKE chance
Curious Traits in Human Nature Have
Made Possible Growth and DeveI.
opment of the Great Mail
Order Houses.

Copyright 1917. Western Newspaper Unlon.)
A curious trait in human nature
makes itself apparent very frequently
That is an inclination to trust in the
unknown rather than In that with
which one is familiar. A person is
very apt to take chance. even though
he may know that the odds are 100 70
one against him, instead of being salts
fed with lesser rewards about which
there is no possibility of doubt.
1t is, possibly. the flaring up of the
ever-present gambling instinct but
there is something more in it than that
There Is in ii the unexplained ten
dency on the part of most people to
reach for the chimerieal and ignore
the tangible and substantial thing
which is near at hand. Man is sell
dom satisfied with those things that
are within his grasp bat is reaching
always for the unattainable. Too Of
ten, he loses that which he might cas-
ily gain by blindly pursuing that which
is always Just out of his reach.
Why aeon" Man ThriVes.
Coupled, In WY, with his faith in
the unknown Is the tendency On the
part of so many people to place con-
fidence in stranger In preference TO
one who IS known and has been tried
and proven. Il is this tendency which
makes possible the operations of the
ICON" man, the get-rich-quick artist.
the INSCRIPTIONS promoter and the
salesman of worthless mining stocks.
The man who would not think of
trusting Bill Jones, his next-doOr
neighbor and fellow church member.
will confidingly turn over his life's
savings to q stranger who unfOlds
tale of riches to be won. Bill Jones
might talk his head off in behalf Of
legitimate proposition without getting
a dollar where the slick stranger with
the worthless proposition can get thou
sands.
1t Is these two tendencies which, APP
parently, are SO widely prevalent
among all classes of people that have
made possible the success of the great
mail order houses in the big cities.
A knowledge Of psychology is as i'm
portant to the mail order man as a
knowledge Of business practices. He
plays upon these tendencies Of man
to take a chance, to trust in the IN
known rather than the known, to place
confidence In the stranger rather than
the friend
Hope to Draw Prize.
Those who buy merchandise from
mail order house are moved partly,
whether they realize it or not, by that
trait In their nature which prompts
them to trust In the unknown rather
than IN that with which they are ia
miliar. They are hoping, 1t may be I'M
consciously, that they will draw prize.
They do not know what they will get,
for 1t is impossible for one to know
what he is going to get when he or
ders merchandise from a picture and
q highly colored description In cata-
logue. He Is taking a chance on the
unknown.
Buying merchandise from the local
merchant, on the other hand, contains
none of these elements of chance that
enter into the dealings with the mail
order house. When one buys a stove

sider!ng the relative merit of old and

stance doesn't establish an infallible
rule any more than does one swallow

one Hancock county farmer has con-
WINGED him that old seed under certain
conditions is just about as reliable for
planting purposes as that grown in a
preceding season. Seven years ago
last fall Mr.. Elmer Cook selected his
seed corn according to his usual habit
which s to pick before frost, keep in
a warm place until fully dried out and
thereafter keep dry without regard to
temperature. Mr. Cook has been a
tenant farmer and has moved around
some since he picked that seed, but he
never allowed it to remain outside OF
the house he lived in over night nor
exposed it to dampncss such as results

Chicago, Jan. l6.-Announcement
that a railway executive had been pro-
posed to handle corn shipments only to
hasten movement Of -;Tain with the
ensuing three or four weeks. led today
to 4 material drop IN corn prices. The
market also was bearshly affected by
renewal Of peace talk. Opening prices,
which ranged from Is and Il to Is cent
lower with January at 1.27Ss and May
at 1853 and q were followed by an
additional setback.
Later the January option developed
strength as a result of buying on the
part Of cash interests and because the
railroads were concentrating efforts on
meeting the demands for coal. The
close was unsettled at 1.e15s for Janu-

kiIlers-Current Quotations.

Chicago, Jan. 16.-Packers and ship
| pers held off today and prevented any
material upturn in hog values.
Flfty-six thousand hogs were report
| ed at the eleven markets Tuesday, with
no receipts at indianapolis owing TO
snow blockade. The total was 6I,OoU
smaller than a week ago and 1Ol,ooo
smaller than year ago. Chicago had
23,5O0 less than week go and $4,000
less than a year ago.
The first two days of this week the
eleven markets received 100000 less
than a week ago and 204,000 less than
year ago. For 1913 to date eleven
points received 56SO0O less than arrived
same period year ago
Cattle.
Cattle offerings lacked quality. but
best were firm.
Only 500 cattle arrived here Tuesday
because OF the abnormal conditions on
the railroads, against 1888 a week ago
and 1855 a year ago. Two days re-
ceipts totaled 200. around $4,000 less
than week ago and $1,000 less than
a year ago.
Seven western markets had $4,000
Tuesday, or $4,000 less than a week ago
and 10000 less, than corresponding
Tuesday a year ago. Thus far this

SEED CORN SENSUS.
Governor to Appoint one Man to Have
Charge in Each County.

One man in each school district OF
Iowa is TO be selected BY Governor
Harding VINO shall he known as the Of
fetal seed corn census taker. He is
to take the seed corn census in his
school district. showing the amount Of
corn each farmer in his district may
need or may have for sale; also show
ing the amount of 1916 crib corn that
he may have on hand and the amount
OF 1917 corn that might be available
for seed together with the number OF
acres Of corn that will be planted on
the farm in the year 1918. Some $4,000
census takers in all will be appointed
to do this work.
s. A. Clock, of Hampton, has been
appointed by Governor Harding to have
charge of the taking Of the census. He
will work in conjunction with Secre-
tary A. r. Corey of the state depart
ment Of agriculture and the extension
department at Ames. The governor
will issue proclamation calling at
tention to the need for seed corn.
The census of seed corn available
and needed will be turned over by the
district census taker to the county
agent OF, III tdSt luSlt 10 lIo NouAty
agent, to the president Of the farm bu
reau. The county agent or the presl-
dent Of the farm bureau will sumnar-
lie the reports for his entire county
and forward the same to the state
headquarters.
Il is pointed out that this census
will enable the county agent to deter
mine the amount of corn needed and
the amount on hand and the amount
for sale, if any and will also enable
him to direct those in need of corn
to the farmers who have it for sale.
The seed corn survey is considered
essential and necessary as a war meas
ure. A recent telegram was sent out
from Washington on this subject By
c. B. Smith, chief Of the office Of ex-
tension north and south, in which he
says.
Department considers national de-
tailed seed corn survey essential be-
cause Of unprecedented low quality OF
seed thruout the corn belt"
Mr.. Clock declares tfat-dM tests that
have been made Of seed corn so far
in this state demonstrates the fact
that there should be an individual test
of all seed corn for the coming year
as the termination is very poor, and
the per cent Of strong terminating ears
runs about 40 to so per cent.
Mr.. Clock also warns against using
seed corn shipped in from southern
states. g.
1T is an established fact that such
seed can not be used and Is not suit
able for northern localities" he says.

the warm, foggy week In November
came closed the window to keep out
all dampness. A visit later to the seed
corn room disclosed the fact that the
corn was damp and "all haired out"
Then they dired up the heating stove
and opened the window and dried that
corn and a recent test shows that 1t
is flt for planting. II all the seed that
was picked last fall before the hrst
freeze and hung up in cribs and other
| open outbuildings. frozen to death by
the freeze that came later and then
fed to the hogs had been dried out
around the stovepipes and chimneys
running thru the farm house attics
there would be very little apprehen-
sion in the minds Of many farmers
who as matters stand are wondering
what about the seed corn for the COM
ing year.
A Wright county farmer was talking
about his household expenses this year
as compared with former times. He
said: II have a large family and fer
years It has been practice with me
to take my children to town and outfit
them with underclothes and shoes.
Two years ago the bill paid for this
was $40. The last one was $9S.
Charles Gealow. a Be}mond farmer.
Is probably the champion Red Cross
man Of his county in point of men,
berships purchased. Like the farmer
noted above Gealow is the father Of a
numerous family and when he went to
the bank he bought and kept buying
until he had spent $13 at 81 per.
Once upon q time there lived In 4
then small town in northern Iowa q
family consisting of father. mother and
ten children. The pay Of station agent
was the source of support for the
whole crowd" and altho a dollar would
buy more in those days than in these
later ones 1t Is a reasonable assump-
ton that nobody except those most
concerned or other families similarly
situated fully realize what respectable
existence under like circumstances
means. One day an idea occurred to
the mother which she at once pro-
ceeded to put into effect. There was
a kettle at hand, also some popcorn. \
10-year- old daughter began to make
the trains beginning with one market
basket and very soon increasing the
number to four. The agent must have
been popular as we'll as capable for the
train officials favored the popcorn
marketing plan to the fullest extent.
The little 10-year-old grew older and
a younger child succeeded her as
Salesman" For fourteen long years
this business was continued. House,
hold expenses including those for
piano. music lessons furniture and
clothing and all were paid from this
source Of income. All this liberated
the income Of the station agent and
he was equal to the opportunity. It
was about thirty years ago that the
little 1o-year-old first crossed the river
bridge with her basket OF popcorn. Ths
ten children are all grown up with
families OF their own. The father IS
second highest Official in thriving
bank of the town where he began life
and the ten children scattered into
several different states are preparing
soon to return to the old home to cele-
brate the golden wedding anniversary
OF father and mother"
