Drought Threatens Late Growing
Crops.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Drought condi-
lions threaten serious damage in many
parts of the United States, according
to the weather and crop review Of the
weather bureau, which reported that
not only were late growing crops ad-
versely affected, but the lack of mois-
ture had slowed fall seeding. Warm
and sunshiny weather characterized
the week in most sections, the review
stated, adding that It had been very
favorable for the maturity of many
grain crops.
Light rains fell along the Pacific
coast and in some sections along the
gulf, the review said, but continued:
drought conditions prevailed in
most other districts and there was in
sufficient moisture for the proper
growth of vegetation. Pastures,
ranges, meadows and late truck crops
were unfavorably affected and mois-
ture was needed in many central and
southern states for the termination of
fall sown seed. The ground was too
dry for plowing and seeding grains in
most sections. The drying weather of
the last few weeks has practically ma
tured the corn crop in the corn belt,
according to the review. In some of
the late corn sections, however, the
drought conditions have cut the pros
poets to some extent, 1t is reported"

AS a result of this combined effort

In Alberta there was strange con-

noted for its heavy yields, there was
considerable of falling off. Instead
of the 35 and 40 bushel Yields the
average ran from 10 to II, while in
southern portions, where drought had

of these returns give individual farm

districts, where In early August not
more than or 10 bushels might be
looked for, Is and 1S bushels are re-

brought about by rains that worked
marvels in the appearance of the crop.

HOW SHOPMEN WASTE

While some railroads and the
shipments unions are still. at odds.
and still negotiating more or less di-
rectly for settlement, the question
Of restrictive shop rules is again
brought quite properly to the front.
Proper revision of these rules, ac-
cOrding to one western railroad pres
ident, should allow an increase of
approximately 10 per cent in shop
mems pay, or virtually wipe out the
railroad boards latest reductions,
without loss to the roads and with
out loss to the individual workman.
The rules, numbering 186, were
adopted in war time, taken over by
the private management when the
railroad board began to function,
abrogated by the board more than a
year ago, but are still in use by
roads which have not reached separ-
ate agreements because no new rules
have been drawn up.
Under these rules, when locomo'
tive staybolt has to be replaced, the
cab carpenter and helper first re-
move the runningboard. The sheet
metal worker and helper take of
the jacket. The pipe men remove
tn pipe. The machinist and helper
remove runningboard bracket. Th'
exywelder and helper burn out th'
staybolt. The boilermaker and help
er remove the staybolt. Then tn
boilermaker and helper begin the re
verse program by putting in nev
staybolt. The machinist and helpe
replace the runningbOard bracket
The pipemen replace the pipe. TIL
sheet metal worker and helper pu
on the jacket. The cab carpente
and helper replace the runningboar
And the job Is done, through the eff
forts Of twelve men where tw
should suffice.
Such rules are a waste. They de
feat the very purpose Of the unions
The public certainly, and the rail
roads themselves. we believe, pre-
fer to have the men well paid an
c0ntented. We are all for goo
wages. They make for prosperity
But they should be paid to men VIII
work rather than to men who waste

STEADY ADS PAY

Northern Furniture Magazine: A
merchant who built a $1,25O,OOO re-
tail business in twelve years In
city Of $4,000 people, did 1t through
steady, intelligent advertising. Asked
how his advertising campaign was
handled, he said:
"There Is no such thing as an
advertising campaign unless you
want to admit there is such a thing
as a breathing campaign or bath
ing campaign You can stop breath
Ing and let the lungs rest, but more
OF you will soon be at rest than your
lungs. You'll die. Just so with ad-
vertising. 1t goes on all the time
you're advertising or your competi-
tors advertising. You can make a
short, special drive In some one city
II you are manufacturer or a re-
taller, and you can call that q cam
paign' IL you want to. But the
bread and butter advertising, which
you do for a living, can't be defined
by any such limited word"
Miracles In sales are going on all
the time. They do not cause much
comment however, because there is
nothing spectacular about them, no
shouting and beating of drums.
Most of the sales miracles are pro-
duced through steady, persistent
work In one direction. The results
are not always immediate. or start-
ling. Gradually, however. con-
slant repetition Of the story, through
advertising or the spoken word,
forces belief in the service or the
product offered. or both, and the So
called miracle is accomplished. And
like the SNOWFALL rolling down hill,
your business grows and grows In
proportion to the amount Of "snow"
and the constant advertising force
that you can put behind 1t.
