Dies, dressed meat, dressed fowls, sau-
sage, are among the items the sale of
which can be promoted by consistent
advertising.
There are various comparatively SIM
pie means of direct appeal to buyers
which are particularly profitable be-
cause of the tremendous increase in
automobile travel. Today that farm is
remote, indeed, which is not passed by
town or city motorists many times a
week. A count on many a so-called
quiet country road will show that
scores, often hundreds, of vehicles pass
daily. A large number of these carry
possible customers for farm products.
The farmer interested in attra citing
such trade should look well to the
unsightly features of which he is not
conscious exist, but the passer-by is
keen to discern these signs of farm
management and hesitates to purchase
1t place showing neglect.
Bulletin Boards Useful.
A well-designed bulletin board near
the front gate is big asset in attract
ing buyers. Just as big commercial
houses know that it pays to use skill
in preparing a display 'ad," so the
farmer in many a progressive COM
munity has learned to take pains in
preparing his bulletin board. 1t may
be only a blackboard that is used, but
it should be neat and it's message
easily read. In addition to the name
Of the farm or the farm owner, there
should be stated in large type the kinds
of produce offered for sale. 1t is gem
orally advisable to add the prices also.
On some farms supplementary boards
are placed Il considerable distance on
either side of the main bulletin, call
ing attention to the latter. A good
sample of the wording on these fol-
lows:

But the bulletin board is not the only
effective standing advertisement for
the farmer. His place will be better
remembered by passing strangers if its
name appears in neat lettering above
or beside the entrance. The custom of
naming farms, popular in so many
parts of the country, has proved of
financial as well as sentimental value.

The farmer who has a display at the
county fair can, unless regulations for
bid, use some form of display advertis-

thus attracting attention to his per-
sonal business in a dignified, effective
manner.
Local, and in some cases metropol-
itan, newspapers offer direct medium
for publicity, particularly for farmer

Advertising in Press.
To obtain satisfactory results from
advertising in a newspaper, the paper
selected must have circulation among
persons to whom the advertisement
will appeal. Advertisements should be
short and should give a description of
the goods with the prices, and the
name and address of the person adj
vertising. In some cities the Sunday
edition of newspaper gives better
results than the daily edition. The
person who advertises must offer a
product that is wanted by the persons
who read the paper at the time the
product is advertised, in the places
where the paper has a circulation. In

Value of Letterheads.
Printed letterheads are a real asset
for the farmer who is selling to either
wholesale or retail trade. Very nat
urally he seeks to reduce his CORE
Spondence to a minimum, but for such
business letters as he does write, the
printed letterheads will almost surely
repay their additional cost. Five hun
dred or one thousand letterheads and
envelopes will last the ordinary farmer
year or longer and their cost is rela-
lively small. The following simple
form is suitable for the average farm
er. A good printer will be able to sug-
gest styles of type and an arrangement
that is distinctive and at the same
time dignified.

Farmers who handle considerable
quantities of produce find it profitable
to use printed wrappers. The use of
two or more colors in printing these
adds to the expense but often is justi-
fed by results. Others who do not
feel they can afford printed wrappers
may find it worth while to have neatly
printed business cards for insertion in
each package sent out. Another SIM
pie means of advertising is printed
gummed labels for use on the outside
of packages sent by parcel post or ex-
press. A suggested wording is given

of e. w. Martin. popular fireman on
the c.. N. o. & T. p. railroad until
he could send kilograms to distant rela-

The mixing of names grew out OF the
fact that Ernest Howard, a boy who
worked on Mr. Martins farm near Har-
riman Junction, was Killed when at
tempting. to jump passing train. The
boy. lived at Monterey and attempted
to board a moving train to go to his
home from the junction. He had been

several days before his untimely DEATH

near Milan, Ga. May 26. after killing a
white man in defense Of negro women,
1t is declared in lengthy account OF
the affair which the Atlanta Constitu-

The lynching in the little Georgia
town in Telfair county did not become
generally known at the time, and ac-
cording to the Constitutions version Of
flcials at Milan said at the time that
they wished to keep the affair out OF
print in order not to hamper their
roundup of the lynchers. So far as
this account shows, there have been no
arrests.
On the night OF May "a, the account
says. John Dowdy and Lewis Tvans,
white men, went into the negro section
and began "cursing and disturbing the
negroes who were in their homes" In

Dowdy was killed. The negro surren-

prepared by the United States Depart

Many thrift kitchens organized dur.
ing war times to help war conditions
have proved so valuable that their
continued existence now seems as
sured. Thrift in the home is taught
under the direction of the home DEM
onstration agents Of the department
of agriculture and the state colleges in
the Salvage Shops" as the kitchens
are sometimes called. These kitchens
were originally established to teach
people thrift in using their own ma.
terial. 1t soon developed, however,
that many who wished to be thrifty
had little to be thrifty with. This led
to the kitchens being used as clear.
ing houses for material still possessing
much wear discarded in the homes of
the well-to-do and much needed where
resources are more limited.
In the Bourbon county (Kansas)
thrift kitchen this work has been es.
pecially successful. The kitchen is
open from nine until five, and the

More women are working in gardens
than ever before, and they are profit
ing by it both in health and purse.
Some find the bending during trans
planting and wedding tiresome and
are apt to result in backache. The
United States department Of agricul-
ture has planned garden set, consist
ing of a kneeling pad and tool apron,
which the garden club girls may make.
Its use lessons the amount of bending
and eliminates much of the backache.
Any woman will find such a set attrac-
tive and useful. Small plants are con-
veniently carried in the pocket of the
pad, and the small tools fit into the
| apron.
Making Garden kneeIing Pad.
The pad may be made of mating,
burlap, denim, oilcloth, heavy canvas,
or even an old rug or piece Of carpet.
Mating lined with brown denim is
very suitable, because this color does
not show soil easily. The mating
lined with brown denim and bound
with red tape makes an attractive
color combination. If cloth without
mating is used, it will be necessary
to cut the pattern double and place
a heavy cardboard between the out
| side and the lining in order to hold
the shape when finished. Cotton tape
is used for binding edges together and
| for the handles. An oblong piece of
black oilcloth sewed on the underside
of the bottom will protect the pad
and keep the cushion dry.
One-half yard of mating, one yard
of denim, one roll of one-inch tape,
and one oblong of black oilcloth will
be sufficient to make this pad. Cut a
paper pattern by the measurements
given in the Illustration. The oblOng
may be made larger or smaller as
desired. When such changes are
made, however, the side ends which
fold around should be made long or
short enough to meet exactly the back

these darts to point four inches
above the bottom of the pocket and
stitch them in place. Hem the ends of
a piece of tape SO inches long and
bind the top of the apron, leaving an
even length on each side for tying
strings. Fold the pattern on the dot

The center pocket stitched In "V''
shape will leave slanting pocket on
each side. The handles of the tools
carried in these pockets will slope
back under the arms, and will not in
terfere with the arms at work. This
arrangement will be found much more
convenient than straight pockets.
A broad-brimmed sun hat lined with
