Get Acquainted With All the Controls

friend of ours recently acquired new car. Everything went well until one day he complained that it wasn't running as it should. He told us that 1t had lost it's pep" and, whereas It had been very lively when he first start ed to drive it. there was no longer any life in it. It was sluggish to the throttle. choked and seemed to have very littie acceleration. The gears had to be shift ed on the slightest hill; the motor de- yeloped the habit of knocking.
 Finally, after several disgusting trips with this depressing kind of operation, our friend took the car back to the service station and told them his troubles: .He told them, too, that he guessed he d sell 1t. since it didn't seem to have much newer. The service men looked mystif1ed and peeked under the hood. then glanced at the dash. How long you been running if with this choker out?' asked one Of them. Our friend looked sheepishly at the knop and haid that he didn't know he had been running with it out
 So they showed the knob down into it's soclxet and with some mumbled words about people driving cars without know ing much about them, went back to thelr work on aaother car. Then the head service man, whose business it was to keep everybody happy, explained that this choker had series of catches to hold it out in several positions our friend had pulled it all the way out when he started his car one morning. and thinking it would automatically go back to it's normal position, he had let go Of IL and forgotten all about it. The conse- ouence was that he had been runnelg the engine with a choked carburetor sor several days without realizing it.
 The moral of this is to always be sure vou are thoroughly familiar with all the controls.-Motor Life.

and one can experiment quite a bit

One can afford, too, to start a cam

field. He does not need to wait for
the blooded stock that is his distant

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 a distant buyer. Not
lat all. But one can get as much
training in writing a compelling ad-
vertisement that will bring to ones

sold on merit and for exactly what
she is, as he can get in writing an
ad for a pure-bred that carries a
pedigree a yard long. And the
chances are that the latter ad will
be lot better and more selling in

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 it's business place upon the
advertiser. AS surely as one stays in
the game the day comes when an out

Advertising Will Pay You

autC1 "A1A ~ Avn
BY Hugh ]. Hughes, Director of
Markets, Minnesota Department Of
Agriculture in the Northwest Farm
stead.
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.
There comes a time in the develop
nent of every mans business when
he needs to secure wider market.
There is time in the business his
tory of nearly every go-ahead farm
er when he is just emerging from the
average-run class into the specialist
class when advertising first appeals
to him as the way to expand his busi-
ness.
But right at this point he is apt to
say to himself: Better hold back
q Ull, JOHI, uHtll you We Sot q hAO
offering 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." :"
So he waits, and it may be wisely
enough, from one standpoint, for the
on-coming, of the next years bunch.
And meanwhile the bull calf, very
creditable young animal, is nawked
around among the neighbors by word
of mouth, and finally sold - mere
trifle above his value as feeder.
And when next year rolls around
something else causes him to put off
the advertising campaign that is to
: form his initial bow to the buying
world, or-and this happens more Of
ten than one likes to record-he
plunges just once on "big copy" in
some paper that offers low rate and
a large circulation scattered from
Whangchow to Upidee ,and is perms
nently soured on the advertising busi-
ness because he failed to get imme-
diate and satisfactory results.
The mistake made, Of course, is
that of supposing that one has only
to choose a paper and buy space in it's
columns in order to be an advertiser.
:, The writing of good lad" as the
placing it in paper where it will
bring results, is bushes that must
be learned exactly as one must learn
how to grow the animal or thing that
is advertised
THE CUMULATIVE EFFECT
And the best advertisement in the
world, backed by quality stuff, will
appearance. There is growing
value to advertising that time, and
be taken at it's full value.
This argues, of course, for early
getting into the game, in order that
when the flow Of quality stuff be-
gins to come in sufficient volume to
justify wide and heavy advertising
that ones name may already be
known and the fact that he is on the
market with quality offerings may
be taken at is full value.
Looking forward to the time when
the selling campaign is to be in flood,
I should not hesitate to carry on,
along with my small initial offerings,
a 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 I
should not by any means neglect to
develop. and that is the field covered
by the local paper The building of
good advertisement is a matter of

Ton mage Tax

Tonnage tax has been an issue-a political issue
in Minnesota for about twelve years. has been used
political club. Almost facts as to its nature or
its effects have been published but the Minnesota Fair
lax Association proposes, in series of advertise
ments, to give the principal facts concerning the IRON
industry and its taxation and thus give the people of
Minnesota opportunity to Judge for themselves to-
the effect of a tonnage tax
If these facts not correct, they easily be-
proved untrue; if they are correct they are of
serious concern to everybody in Minnesota.
|. No state levies tonnage tax.
If any state should levy tonnage tax, surely it isY
the great coal mining state of Pennsylvania. Its
mineral production and export is much greater
than Minnesota, but it does not levy a tonnage
tax. Neither does any other state.
T. Every state that has tried tonnage tax has dis
carded it as unwise unjust, and unpro6table.
Michigan had tonnage tax from 1853 to 189 I
when the law repealed injurious to the
Minnesota had tonnage tax from 1881 to l895S
when it was repealed in face of vigorous opposi-
ton from the steel trust
British Columbia tried a tonnage tax for a number
of years but found it Improbable that it was
repealed
3. One q the arguments" in favor of tonnage tax
is the steel trust"-people seem to think that
iron mining in Minnesota means the "steel
trust" /
Do you know that there are about l3O iron mines
in Minnesota and that the steel trust operates
only 81 of them?
Do you know that the steel trust does not own
operate single mine on the Guyana Ranger
Do you know that the steel trust does not own or
control one-haf of per cent of the iron ore
that the u S. Geological Commission says exists
in Minnesota
Why adopt something that is so bad that nobody
else will have it9
Why levy tax that will hit the people of Minnesota
zoo times as hard as it hits Il e steel trust''
