MAIL ORDER HOUSES PROSPER

The directors of large Chicago
mail order house recently declared
quarterly dividend of 81 a share
compared with s175 the previous
quarter This puts the stock on an
lS per cent basis. The stockholders
have approved the proposition to in
crease the common stock capitalize
ton from s6O,0O0O0O to $75,000,000
The directors have also been author
lied to distribute as stock dividend
the $15,00,00O new common stock on
the basis of one new share for each
four now owned.
Thousands and thousands of dollars
that are thus going to this mail or
der house should be spent with home
merchants There is only one effec-
tive method to employ in fighting the
mail order pests-that is, publicity
The advertising man on a country pa
per should point out to the local mer
chants the necessity of advertising
their prices and impress on the read
ers of newspapers the fact that the
same goods can be bought from To-
cal merchants just as cheaply as from
the mail order houses, that the trans
actions will be sfar more satisfactory
and that the money will remain in
the home town and continue in circu-
lation there. Once it goes to a mail
order house it never returns. It's up
4 to the publishers to wage a bitter
and unrelenting warfare on the mail
order houses.

TALKING 1T OVER

The meeting together of farmers
to talk over the situation and to dis
cuss matters pertaining to their pro-
fession is bound to help every man
among them who wants to learn.
There is no help for the man who
knows it all already nor for the man
who does not want to learn.
There are many subjects that far
mers would find profitable to discuss
among themselves-whethe they do
it in mass meeting or in groups OF
score or dozen, or of only two or
three No two earnest men can talk
together long on any subject without
learning something. the one from the
other No man knows it all, though
some think they do. One man knows
one thing; another knows something
else. The sum of human knowledge
is very large; but the knowledge
of individuals is small. knowledge is

reservoir will not empty and much filth

for the great new Ringing Brothers and
Barnum & Bailey Shows Combined.
Miss Bradna's act numbers fifty beau

white collics. six fox terriers, two An

by passing around the hippodrome track.
In this finale the stallion will draw a
gorgeous chariot. the doves perch at

perform in and out through the wheel
spokcs or between the chargers legs. In
point Of participants this is the biggest

giant actors as were ever before shown

to illustrate the "bigness" of the great
new circus. If one seeks an index by
which 10 measure the gigantic menagerie
II may be stated that the geological dis
play includes a herd Of no less than
eight giraffes. All other things are in
proportion. The mammoth pageant and
Introductory display which opens the
main-tent program, Is a production OF
mammoth size and brilliancy. The art
lists presented in the arenic> numbers are
the worlds foremost stars. There are
more clowns than any circus has car
ried before. The free street parade Is
the longest and most gorgeous ever
given anywhere. In a word, the Ring

circus which has been truly called the
