while giving to others the southern
states. And with the chain lengthen-
ing, on its way to include the hundreds
of stores in the United States and
Canada and the seventy-five in Great
Britain of which til now composed
the Woolworth idea developed new
methods on the buying end. From
taking mere jobbers' lots, and special
stock is, and stated quantities of
goods, the chain was able to contract
by The year for the entire output OF
whole factories. Whole factories CIV
ing. their entire facilities to supply
ing the counters of almost thousand
stores, from candy and hardware to
dress-goods and music and yet not a
single article at greater price than
ten cents!
It was wonderful idea, that five
cent scheme of young Woolworth
back there in Moore & Smiths slow
going dry goods store in Watertown.
But, after all, there is agood deal in
the Woolworth chain of the present
day that did not show in that first
five-cent counter at Moore & Smiths.

How WOOIWOrth
Made His Success

One road to fame is always open.
It is by devising a plan for selling
merchandise of any name or natul
to vast numbers of people who do not
realize a wish to buy. Not every
business man arrives, for the majority
of business men occupy themselves
with selling goods in response to a
known and recognized demand. 1t is
the rare man who hits upon new,
idea for inducing sales in great volume
who finds himself famous, and in spite
of the fact that millions and millions
of clever business thinkers are all the
while eager to discover such new idea
those who reach fame by way of such
a discovery are so infrequent that each
is likely TO make his journey practical
ly alone on the road. And yet the
thing looks simple after some one has
done it! Perhaps the secret is not so
much in hitting upon the idea as it is
in seeing its latent possibilities. The
fellow who gets the idea in the first
instance may not see what there is in
it until he has turned the matter over
bit. Great results are not always the
sudden flash that they often seem to
be.
Take the case of the latest new
idea sales producer, the man who made
his "5 and 10 cent Store" familiar to
city-bred people everywhere through
out the populous districts of the Unit
ed States, Canada, and Great Britain.
Frank Woolworth was clerk in Moore
and Smiths dry goods store in Water
town, a small manufacturing CITY in
northeastern New York, when his
great selling idea came to him. It was
after the firm had undertaken to dis
pose of quantity of shopworn goods
by mixing with them fifty dollars
worth of the cheapest articles that
could be purchased and then placard-
ing the entire collection with the sign,
"Any article on this counter cents
The whole collection was sold the frs.

grew famous by that days work. It

WAY TO OBTAIN BIG
WINTER CREAM CHECKS

S'To provide the foundation for sue
eessful winter feeding in Minnesota
means either corn silage or roots for
the succuIent feed, and clover or al
falfa for hay" says C. H. Eckles head
of the dairy of Minnesota. "The farm
er who neglects to provide now for en-
ough of these necessities will find
himself next winter without satlsfac-
tory ration, and will either have to be
content with a small cream or milk
check or be willing to go to the feed
store and spend good money for feed
to balance up his ration.

Harrow and Cultivate.

Every practical farmer realizes the
Importance of killing of weeds and
grass weeds and grass coming in the
young crops during May. 1t is we'll
known fact that if the crops can be
kept clean during this month they
stand much better chance of pro-
ducing maximum yields-also that
the later civilizations will be less diff
cult. Nothing will accomplish so much
in cleaning the land and cultivating the
growing crop as the section harrow
and light cultivator. If you want to
be sure of full crop at the least eX~
pense use the harrow freely, even if it
requires little extra high priced help.
It is sure to pay nthe long run.

was the clerk. For when the clerk
saw how the public took to the notion
of one small price for all sorts and
conditions of useful articles, he began
to realize something of what he might
accomplish If he could fill an entire
store with goods that could be dis
posed of in the same rapid fire manner.
So i was that Frank Woolworth
with nothing better as. a background
than sturdy boyhood on New York
farm and public school and business
college" training, found himself, in
February, 1879, proprietor of So
cent Store" in Utica, New York, sew
enty miles from WATERFOWL, on his
way 70 become known throughout the
Notwithstanding world, on borrowed
capital amounting to 1925. That his
confidence in his new idea had not
been misplaced was evidenced by a
ret profit of $139. 80 at the end OF
six weeks. He looked about for the
opportunity to launch his project IN
a fahsion commensurate with its pos
sibilities, and in the following year he
orened at Lancaster. Pennsylvania, the
first of a great chain of stores. This
first chain store had floor space of
Ia by 35 feet. Within a month he
had another store on the same plan IN
Harrisburg, the capital city of the
state, and put his brother in charge.
From that time money flowed in free
" and as each store accumulated
surplus, that surplus was used to OPP
en- ether stores, until many large towns
and cities were included in the chain.
T, oooL c4ovo xxyoro 3ho canno Uorintv of
goods, the same general arrangement
and sales methods, and each store front
no matter where located, had the
same familiar color and the same signs.
The veriest stranger in town was at
home as soon as he reached the Wool
worth store.
Of course, so such success in mer-
chandising could have been attained
without ;mitators. There were others
who Caught on" when the five-cent
store plan first came into notice.
People tell of tinware dealer and a
stationer in Wilkebarre, Pennsylvania,
who got the five-cent idea so soon
after Woolworth got It that they were
believed by many to be the originators.
But Woolworth never quarreled with
anybodysas to who got the idea first
It was enough for him that he had
it. He gave all his time to making
the most of it. incidentally he took
into the great organization that
gradually came into being in connec-
tion with it the principal imitators
or co-discoverers: He divided territory
with them; he chose the big cities,
including New York and Philadelphia,

Yesterday afternoon, in the case of
Murad Singh VS.. Applestill, wherein
the Hindu is suing for damages al
legged to have resulted over an attach

in their native garb offended the
court and the order was issued.
When translated by the interpreter,
the Orientals protested through their

little speech, which could be summed
up by saving, "When in America do

SAYS RRAWLEY

Attorney Guy Rockwell, of Brawley,
yesterday officially notified the city
of El Ccntro that injunction proceed
ings will be instituted at Brawley to
prevent alleged contamination of the
Brawley water supply in event any
attempt is made to sluice silt back
into the Brawley main, which leads
to Brawley.
The action of Brawley was taken
after it was learned that this city was
preparing plans for the construction
of desilting tanks along the Brawley
main for the desilting of water for
the city water system.
Mayor Watkins states shat the silt
will not be an offense to Brawloy, be-
cause he says no more silt will be
placed in the canal than is taken out,
The city officials OF Brawley hold an
entirely different view and intend to
start proceedings the moment the
new plan threatens to become effect

WHEAT CROP is THREATENED;
UNNAMED DISEASE THE CAUSE

General alarm is being felt in Mad
ison county and over the country in
general over a disease that has at
tackled the wheat crop. Reports from
the Agriculture Department of the
State, to which County Agent Flan-
cry has sent samples of the damaged
wheat, say that the disease was first
noticed in the neighborhood of St.
Louis and is evidently rather wide
spread over the entire State. The
stalks of wheat attacked do not form
a head but grow up spindling and
worthless.
Mr.. Flanery informed US this week
that during the past few days he has
visited two crops that will be cut
down fully half and that there are
many others almost as bad. The Bel
kin's crop is SO badly damaged that
they are considering blowing it up.
Efforts by Mr.. Flanery and others
to find the cause Of the new disease
have been fruitless. They first thought
that the fertilizer used might be the
cause but little investigation showed
that the wheat where no fertilizer was
used is as badly affected as any other.
They also found no difference be-
tween the early and late sowing and
the question of pasturing the wheat
seemed not to be the cause as the pas
tured wheat is no worse than the
other.
Some are inclined to think that the
freeze few weeks ago had some
thing to do with the present condi-
ton.
Whether the trouble will increase
or not is not known, but most Of the
farmers are watching their crops with
good deal of apprehension.
What was probably the best pros
pect in the history of the county is al
ready considerably cut down even if
conditions get no worse.-Frederick-
town Democrat-N News.
