 Aim high and believe yourself capable of great things Don't pray cream on Sunday and live skmmilk the rest of the week
 The devil gave relatives but, thank God, choose friends.
 If the son is "cut-up" the rest of family has to down expenses.
 Nobody ever was awakened by the hiss of the goose that lays the golden eggs.
 Speak well of every if you speak of them at all of very good.
 Many who sighs for baby grand piano doesn't gh for regular baby.
 But she has charming personality" is another way of Gayng she isn't very good-looking.

He kept G4 cent, and spent the S2l the next day in advertising. We all cant dup Iic&tc this fcat but according to the best >ta- tistics available three per cent of the gross sales should h" put aside for advertising
 Possibly you will say ''I don't need to ad- vcrtsc. I've been in this town for thirty years and everybody knows me-
 Probably they do, but did you ever stop to. think of the sales you lose because your fellow competitor advcriscs! He may advertise the. same goods you have in your stock but thr people don't know you have then. The other fellow gets the sale because he advomiso~. And then how much more business would you do 4 you dd advrrtsr'

 We know of one merchant who advertised a lot of goods at considerably below what they cost him. He took d clean loss, but while the sale Was going on he could buy new goods and the result was that he cleaned his shelves of the oId goods aud he broke even in the deal Advcrtisiug and good buying Iiquidatcd his stock without loss.
 We can't all be John Wanamalrr~. but vo. all can advertise in proportion to our hu~iu.~~. Results will he sure if you advertise honestly and give &arvicc, but if can't make people buy your goods.

FARMERS ROBBED BY THE
 CHILEAN NITRATE TRUST

Washington, Dec. 31-CharIes that the farmers of the United States have been robbed by the Chilian Nitrate Trust" which, he declared was opposing the de- velopment of the government nitrate plant at Muscle Shoals, Alabara, were made today in the house by Representa- tive Almon, democrat, in whose district the plant is located.
 The representative made his charges during debate on the supdry civil bill. He urged inclusion of an appropriation of $1O,000,000 to be used in continuing work on the government dam at Muscle Shoals, which he said was needed to furn- ish power for the nearby nitrate plant Operation of the plant during peace times for the manufacture of fertilizer was de- clared by MT. Almon to be needed to in. sure cheap supply to farmers of this country.
 Representative Almon asserted that American farmers, because of their in ability to obtain nitrates for fertilizer in sufficient quantities, had been oblig- ed to pay the Chilea ngovernment since 1879 total of 153 ,O0B, ,000 as export du- ties on nitrates shipped to the United States from Chile. If the manufac cture Of fertilizers in this country had been encouraged, Mir. Almon continued, i'm portations could have been curtailed and payment Of the tax avoided.
