MAKING GOOD IN
A SIN ALL TOWN
Real Stories About Real Girls
BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
THE BAKER LADY

Is YOUR talent for baking? And
= are there, in your town, certain
bachelors who are reputed to live sole
ly on fiap-jacks; bachelor girls who
are popularity supposed to dine daily
out OF cans; society folks who have
difficulty finding on Main Street just
the baked dainties they would like to
have for their parties and dinners?
II it is, and there are, your fortune
is made, says one girl who is famed
in her home town for her short and
daky biscuits, coffee cakes, cream
puffs and cookies, her delectable corn
bread and pie.
My one talent is baking" she is
fond of saying. Il always wondered
whether such a homely household ac-
complishment had any commercial
value. | settled the point by starting
a bakery in the kitchen at home, and
| have proved to my own satisfaction
that my talent can earn something be-
sides compliments from the family"
The girl who seriously desires to
start in the business, must Of course,
be good "bakeress" If she is, she
knows probably about what ingredi-
ents, kitchen utensils, and equipment,
she will need. In general, she should
remember that the best materials are
always the cheapest.
There is more profit in fancy bak-
ing than in bread, though bread is
the best standby; but few women GUS
toners can resist some of the Tempt
ing dainties which are revealed when
they take the bread out of the basket.
The baker lady should hire small
boy, for the job of carrying the bas-
kets about to the prospective custom
er'S door.
In preparation for her basket-boy's
visits, the baker-girl should call at
the homes of friends and acquaint-
ances, telling them of her project and
soliciting orders If her sales are
limited for time, she may sell her
wares to local confectionery stores
and groceries, or have them displayed
and handled on commission basis.
The woman's exchange usually pro-
vides a market. An advertisement in
the newspaper is not a great expense,
and will reach the people who prob
ably would not hear of her project any
other way.
But never, no matter how large her
business grows, should she. cease her
personal supervision of every biscuit,
pie or cake-for that's the only way
she can honestly use in advertising
the phrase that is her main stock-in-
trade, PERSONALLY cooked"

'Well, will tell you.
"Some of the family said:
eve haven't had ham for a long,
long time. We would dearly love some
ham.
First it would be nice to have
boiled ham. Then we could have cold
ham and we could have a supper party
with cold ham and salad, and then we
could have an omelette with ham,
"Well, that wasn't such cheering
news, but was not chosen. Some Of
the other pigs around who aren't the
dear pig pets we are can be chosen,
and are chosen.
'And as I say, / wasn't chosen"
The pigs all started to grunt and
squeal that they could see that much,
but with a swish of her little crooked
tail and loud grunt Miss Ham went
on with her story.
s'Still, I felt a little nervous. My
name is ham and when they speak Of
ham I feel a little uneasy.
''But today heard the man of the
family talking and he said:
81 don't want ham again for
months.
( 81 ate boiled ham for three nights
running and then / had cold ham for
two nights-there was cold ham an
other night but / couldn't eat it was
so tired of it. Then we had ham

again.
cat least not for very long time.
I've had enough ham to last me for
months.
''Now he had been the one who had
been wanting ham, had felt little
nervous about him. tried my best
to smile al lin in my coy pig fashion
whenever he came near the barnyard
and perhaps it helped.
''But when heard how tired he was
of ham I said to my pig self:
"'Miss Ham, you've escaped. You
can rest easily for long, long time
"'For even though yous might never
have been chosen-still this is COM
forting, cheering news
"Do you wonder feel excited over
my sure and certain escape?"

WHATS IN A NAME 2"

JUST as simplicity plus originality
j is what costs in clothes, so a work
that is among the most simple and
yet unique of jobs has a high cash
value-selling lists of names.
"Any energetic small-town girl can
get into this business, and have a
monopoly of sher field, providing it is
not already occupied says one little
list-maker who is also a money maker.
"The girl who undertakes this BUSH
ness" she told me, Should compile
list, as nearly complete as possible,
of all persons in her neighborhood,
town or township. This list is to be
her own personal and permanent rec
ord; but it must, since changes are
constantly occurring, be frequently
brought up to date. Such list, when
carefully made is real working cap
itar which will earn money for it's
owner"
Every year there are numbers OF
political candidates who want the
names of all voters in a township
and they pay literally for such list
when it is accurately compiled.
Banking Institutions, constantly
trying to educate people in matters of
thrift, will buy names and addresses
of persons who have no savings ac-
counts. Even list of names unclas-
sified as to who have bank accounts
and who have not is useful to the
bank, but it will be worth more, OF
course, the greater the amount of
apropos information it contains While
getting information about savings, it
is we'll for the compiler to note who
carry insurance and what kind. In
surance agents will be glad to pay for
this information.
Mail order houses are always on the
lookout for new names to which they
can address their catalogues and cir
culars. A business house which has
once bought a list of names and has
found it up-to-date and reliable, will
be anxious to purchase, a revision at
least once in every two years. These
personally conducted' lists are the
only reliable ones from which bust
ness men can get complete mailing
lists for given territory. Township
voting lists and the rolls kept by the
assessor are generally not only in
complete but out-of-date. The post
office does not, as some people think,
give out lists of names and addresses.
That is the secret of the value OF lists
of names, and the reason why, when
a girl is known to possess such a list,
she will have frequent calls for it. Her
prices should vary according to the
amount of wanted information she
can give the customer; mere names
and addresses, while salable, are not,
of course, as valuable as more de-
tailed information is.
Selling lists of names may seem
an odd way of earning a living; but
there are tempting possibilities in the
work, and it requires no capital to
make the effort.

Police dogs are often supposed to

is not so. They are directly descend

dogs. The fact that there have been
no wolves in France since 1888 makes
