A Wink's as Good as a Nod

Two women weavers were married on the same day, and each had de- clared her intention of not returning to mill life; but their husbands thought different ,and the two brides weer back on their three looms in a few days.
 Mary Ellen struck a grand idea. Going home one evening, she began to cry, and her husband asked the reason. She refused to say. He in sisted, and she said:
 "It's yon o'erlooker. He keeps winkin' at me"
 "Whatw cried the husband. "Wink- in at thee? Thee stop awhoam, lass. Aw con keep thee."
 Mary explained the wheeze to her friend Sarah, who tried it on with her husband.
 The brute replied: "Oh, is that a? We'll, lass, thee wink back an he'll gi' thee another loom!"-Blighty (Lon- don.

MINING IN SOUTH DAKOTA IN
 1920.

The production of metals in the Black Hills district of South Dakota in 1920 has been confined almost ex- clusively to two mines, the Homestake and Trojan, according to the United States Engineers, Department of the Interior. The Homestake produced gold amalgaA bars and cyanide gold bars and the Trojan produced silver gold cyanide bars and few lots of smelting gold-silver ore. All the oth- CT gold properties were closed on ac- count of high cost of mining.
 In December, 1919, the Homestake mine succeeded in extinguishing the fire which started September 25, 1919, above the top (sixth) floor of one of the small sqaure-set stepes in pillar No. 8, north Of the Star crosscut, on the 8O0-foot level. The mills were closed October 5, 1919, during the

NAVY TO TRANSFER RESERVE OFFICERS
 TO REGULAR DUTY

Twelve hundred temporary and re- serve officers are to be transferred to the permanent line of the navy in accordance with the act of congress approved June 4, 1920. Staff off cers will be transferred in proportion.
 The selection of these officers and their introduction in to the permanent service is one of the most difficult and important personnel problems with which the navy has had to deal in re- cent years.
 It is intended to publish the condi- tions of the examination very shortly. The date will be sufficiently advanced to give applicants time to prepare and also to permit senior officers under whom applicants are serving to make careful and we'll considered fitness re- ports.
 It is directed that as soon as infor nation concerning this examination is issued all possible means be taken to assist the applicants to prepare themselves for entrance into the per manent navy. Schools and classes will be established, hours regulated, instructions given, and supervisor exercised as much as practicable.
 All officers who can materially as- sist in the solution of this problem are requested to report to the bureau the measures they have adopted.

The company was able to keep all the mine and mill crews employed on surface inn provements and exploration work, but as some of the mills were idle the production during the first six months of 1920 was not equal to the normal production. The Homestake mine produced $4,346,116 in 1919, as com pared with $5,916,S9O in 1918 and with $6,619,574 in 1917.

WHAT ADVERTISING
 IS DOING FOR THE
 GOODYEAR DEALERS

After having completed business trip covering many of the Goodyear branch offices throughout the west and northwest, J. X. Remedy, adver- Using manager for the Goodyear Tire x Rubber Company of California, Los Angeles, declares that business con- ditions in these sections are decidedly encouraging, despite the special hand leaps that exist in one or two locali- ties. He made it special point to make calls on the dealers in the branches visited, to get first hand in formation concerning real conditions, and naturally received from them a variety of reasons for the condition of their trade.
 q found quite difference in the attitude of various dealers", he says, "for instance, in town in eastern Montana, found one dealer who had nothing to do all day but talk about how bad business was, how little he had been doing for the past few months and his vail was that unless things picked up soon he expected to close his doors and hunt for a new To- cation. This fellow was pulling down the Window shade and weeping be- cause tire users were not tearing in his door and forcing him to sell them tires.
 ''In the same town I found another dealer that I tried to talk to but found he was so busy selling tires that it was necessary for me to return to his store after business hours to get his attention. This dealer deter mined that he would stimulate busi- ness little, so he hired another sales man and increased his advertising in the newspapers.
 ''On the particular day that I en- countered him he had sold thirty-two Goodyear tires, while his competitor had been weeping because he could not sell any. He recognized that there was an actual demand for his product and he took the proper meas ures to get his share of the demand.
 Aggressive salesmanship and ad- vertising can usually be depended on to increase sales. During the last year we have been able to interest thousands of our dealers in using newspaper advertising to increase tire sales. Many of them had never be- fore used newspaper space and the re- suits obtained have been so pronounc- ed that a regular advertising budget is planned for next year. In some in- stances our dealers have arranged contracts with their papers covering an entire year.
 Goodyear is now a sort of 'adver- Using agency for all fo it's dealers. We not only give advice concerning how to formulate good copy but actu- ally write it for them. We also work out advertising plans and make up layouts. Hundreds of our service stations are taking advantage of this service, for which we make no charge whatever. Our sole aif is to help the dealer who wishes to advertise, to spend his money judiciously in the mediums that our experience has shown us will bring the results.
 "We find that newspaper men ev- anywhere are appreciating our ef- forts, for we are constantly trying to correct some of the wrong impressions that exist concerning advertising and are advising regular insertions even in a small way in preference to the use of large space spasmodically."
