/ should not hesitate to carry on,
along with my small initial offerings,
consistent and persistent small
space advertising campaign in the
journal that would best convey my
message to my prospective buyers.
But there is another field that /
should not by any means neglect to
develop, and that is the field covered
by the local paper. The building of
q good advertisement is a matter Of
skill that comes only from expert j.,
ence, and one can experiment quiteA
a bit for a very moderate figure in
the paper that carries the news of
the neighborhOod out onto all the
rural routes that radiate- from the
home town.
Start Advertising Now
One can afford, too, to start a
campaign of advertising at home long
before he is ready to enter the broad
er field. He does not need to wait
for the blooded stock that is his dis
tant aim. He can make the columns
Of the local paper do his selling for
him while his offerings are still very
! few, or even quite ordinary in quail
ity.
Do not take me TO mean, by this
last statement, that one can afford to
sell to his neighbors stuff that he
] would not sell TO distant buyer.
! Not at all. But one can get as much
! training in writing compelling ad-
vertisement that viii bring to ones
door a buyer of grade COW that is
/ sold on merit and for exactly what
| she is, as he can get in writing an
ad for purebred that carries a pedi-
gree a yard long And the chances
are that the latter ad will be a lot
better and more selling in quality if
one has made good at writing the
former.
Establishes Reputation.
This practice of using the columns
of the local paper as ones selling
agent has its bearing, too, on the
estimate which the home neighbor-
hood and its businessmen place upon
| the advertiser. As surely as one
stays in the game the day comes
when an outside buyer drops off the
train, primarily to see you about the
latest lot you are advertising in

There may be something to the
idea that a prophet is not without
honor save in his own country, but
it is not going too far to say that
the too-literal acceptance of this idea
has cost the farmer with stock or
produce to sell the price of more
than one fur-lined overcoat.

appeals to him as the way to ex-

But right at this point he is apt to
say to himself: Better hold back a
bit, John, until you've got fine of
fering to make, and feel that you
can afford to step into the fast COM
pany of high-grade advertisers such
as those in Northwest Farmstead."

CHARGE STOCK
is MISTREATED
Humane Society Says Crippled
Animals Must Get Care.

The indianapolis Humane society has
determined to put an end to the alleged
inhumane manner In which crippled
stock is handled at the Indianapolis
stock yards, and TO that end has an.
nounced that within ten days its In
spectors will start killing crippled stock
as soon as it comes into the stock

The movement on the part ~of the
humane society is designed to make 1t
desirable for stock shippers and com
mission men to make proper arrange.
ments for the humane treatment of Grip
pied animals by making it extremely I'M
profitable for them to neglect the stock.
1t is reported by inspectors that from
ten to seventy-hve crippled animals ar
rive at the stockyards daily. Heretofore
these animals have been permitted to
lie without proper care until the better
stock was sold, 1t is charged. Then
the cripp1es were sold to those who
were willing to buy them and in many
cases were handled in exactly the same
manner as other stock. Instances are
reported to have been numerous in which
hogs with broken legs were shackled to
runways by their broken legs.
The humane society has arranged for
immediate inspection of these cripples
In the event that the dealers wish to
make arrangements to have them cared
for on arrival, the inspectors having been
granted by the board Of health for that
purpose.
If arrangements are not made for the
relief of these crippled animals immedi-
ately on their arrival. the humane SO
ciety announces that it's agents will efll
the animals without regard to the losses
the owners may sustain.

WAR PROLONGED
BYTARDY NAVAL
AID, SAYS SIMS
Tells Senators U. S. Delay Cost
Allies 100000 Tons of
Shipping.
SPEED URGED BY PAGE

WASHINGTON, March 10-Admiral
Sims today charged the navy department
with causing the loss of 100000 tons of
allied shipping through failure to act
promptly the first six months of the
war, in his testimony before the senate
subcommittee investigating the conduct
of the war by the navy.
Admiral Sims asserted delay by the
navy department cost 100000 tons in
1917, and but for this loss "we could
have had 100000 men in France in
March, 1918, instead of 100000"
But for the delays and military err
rors," Germany would have been de-
feated in July. 1918, Admiral Sims
charged.
Only $4,000 men month could be
shipped in 1918, Sims declared. Another
1000 900 tons was Unnecessarily lost in
1918" he added
would HAVE BROUGHT
VICTORY IN JULY"
Undoubtedly the presence of these
American troops in France in March
would have brought victory in July"
he said.
"such a policy, therefore, cost us mil
lions Of dollars, 100000 tons of ship
ping and prolonged the war at least
four months" Sims continued.
Germany expected to win the war
within two months when he arrived in
England, Sims declared. England had
grain supply then for only three
weeks.
He revealed that Admiral Jellicoe and
other British admiralty officials showed
reluctance to take Sims into their con-
adenee as regarded the allies situation
at first In order to get their full cor
hp IN
on them that we were with the allies
He asserted that the navy department
did not communicate its first decision
as to its policy to him for nearly a
month after our entry into the war. 1t
was nearly two and a half months, he
said, before the department informed
him of its plans. Most of his infOrma-
ton about the navy's activities, he said,
came to him "by accident"
CABLEGRAAI FROM
PAGE TO WILSON.
Admiral Sims read 4 cablegram sent
from Ambassador Page TO President
Wilson April 81, 1917. which declared:
81 can not refrain from most strongly
recommending the immediate sending
over of every destroyer and all other
c-aft that can be of anti-submarine use
This seems 10 me the sharpest crisis
of the war and the most dangerous stu
alton for the allies that has arisen
or could arise II enough sub
marines can be destroyed in the next
two or three months the war will be
won directly by our aid. | can not ex-
aggerate the pressing and increasing
danger of this situation. Thirty or more
destroyers and other similar craft sent
by us Immediately would very likely
be decisive"
Ambassador Page declared that mil
lion tons We're being lost every month
at that time and that by autumn. the
sea will be about clear Of shipping" He
declared the British ARMY in the field
was threatened because Of lack Of sup
plies and that there was food enough
to last the civil population only about
two months.
Most Of Admiral Sims recommends
tons reiterated the pressing need for
destrOyers and other submarine
craft. The navy department, Sims stated
first promised thirty six destroyers and
later cut this number to thirty-two.
