FRIENDLY ADVERTISING

Illustrating the present trend of good
viii advertising, a plan adopted by rail-
road in the south is interesting
Recognizing the important function of
..sa local station agent, through whom
most patrons of the road have their only
contact with the management and its poll
cies, the new advertising seeks to bring the
agent in closer touch with his community.
This is done in a cuarter-page space
in the local paper, with picture of the
agent and little sketch of his services
with the road, accompanied with reaaing
matter explaining how he may be of
greater service in advising the public con-
corning their travelling ard shipping prob
lens.
This is in line with the policy of many
retail stores, which include pictures of their
leading Salespeonle i'm their advertising
from time to time. There is something
about this kind of advertising which COM
pels attention. for nothing in the world is
more interesting than people, particularly
local people.
Intimate. friendly advertising is to a
great extent taking the place of the bonn
bastic, exaggerated style so prevalent few
years aga. The new method i more
pleasing aud intereStiag--hence more
profitable to the advertiser.

THE SALES TAX

The announced opposition of Presi-
dent-elect Roosevelt to the enactment of a
sales tax fol the purpose of raising revenue
for the purpose of balancing the budget
has aroused both comEaendatioa and
criticism and the bulk of the comment has
largely depended on whose OK was threat
ened with being gored.
A sales tax could easily be collected.
1t could be levied in such an amount that
it would provide absolutely certain and
sufficient revenues to meet the expenses
of the government 1t would solve the
problem of governmental finance.
President-elect Roosevelt would finu
that such tax would Immediately remove
many Of the difficult problems that face
his approaching administration. Yet he
has expressed disapproval of such tax.
He must have reasons that seem i'm
portaIt to him for refusing to take the
course of least resistance. Let us examine
into some Of these possible reasons.
A sales tax would be the direct OPP
posite of the income tax. The sales tax
would be collected at the bottom of con-
Quoted business. The income tax is col
lected at the TOP. The sales tax would be
collected from Tie buyers and would add
to buying costs. The income tax is collected
from the profits.
While those who reap the profits try
to pass along the taxes they eventually
pay, it is never quite possible to figure cor
rectly. Then again, there is always COM
petition from those who are willing to pay
back portion of their incomes in order
to secure business from their competitors.
The sales tax would be paid by the
great mass of the people. 1t would fall on
rich and poor alike.

regions where the sun is north OF south
during most of the growing season, the
rows may be run north and south. In
such a case the tall growing plants
should be on the east side. I should
consider this as a point of lesser i'm
portance in the arrangement of crops
and one to be followed only where no
great difficulties are in the way. On
slopes, it should be disregarded entirely
ond the rows should be run at right
angles to the slope to aid in pre-
venting erosion.
Another question raised is, when
cauliflower and cabbage are planted
near each other, do they interfere with
the flavor?
There is no influence of one crop
upon the other as far as flavor is con-
cerned. However, there is a possibility
of some -pollination between the
two and seed should not be saved from
either when they are planted close to-
gether.

You may attempt to dictate what q
newspaper says but you cannot control
it. If you don't like it, let it alone;
if it agrees with your ideas, that's tally
one for the paper. If all the people who
think, just think, they could run a
newspaper and please all of their
readers every day or week, it would be
the greatest wonder of the world And
by the way, if you read a three line
article you don't like, you tell the editor,
but if a quarter or half page is COM
plimentary we never hear a word of
praise or encouragement. No wonder
newspaper men are called hard-boiled,
darned fools and should be engaged in
some other vocation.-Stillwater Ga

An effect of the civilian conservation
corps policy in Northern Minnesota will
be wide advertising of the recreational
advantages of the area.
Already, it is reported, the commander
of one camp has bought forty acres of
privately owned land in the Superior
national forest, and plans to erect a
cottage on it for his family. Another
will erect cottage on land near his
camp in the Chippewa forest. Still
others are planning to lease lake shore
lots from private owners and from the
forest service.
The army officers and the technically
trained men from forestry colleges from
coast to coast are writing to their
friends telling them of the charms OF
the Arrowhead region. Doubtless the
boys in the camps are sending similar
letters to their relatives and friends
Newspaper and magazine writers, flock
ing to the territory to see the work OF
the conservation forces, will carry the
story in words and pictures to thous-
ands more.
In future years, established elsewhere
as business and professional men, the
young men now in the camps, many Of
them, doubtless, will return with their
families to the scenes of their youthful
employment.
The advertising that the conservation
corps will give to the lake region will
be felt this year in increasing business
in the north country. In future years
its effects will be felt still more.-Duluth

COMMUNICATED
Ely, Minnesota. June IT, 1888.

Ely, Minnesota, June IT, 1888.
Editor Ely Miner,
Dear Sir: There is good deal of talk
about the unbecoming behavior of some
OF the forestry boys. If our city police
were allowed to put few of our
native moon and bootleg peddlers where
they belong they might be setting a
good example to the boys under Uncle
Sans care. Many people blame the
police for everything that goes wrong
in the town but everybody don't know
that more than dozen years ago the
mayor about that time was credited
with telling the police that if they got
the town cleaned up too clean there
wouldn't be anything for the police to
do and that would be too bad 1t
seems that policy is still in force.
I believe that the government is
trying to eliminate all the undesirables
from the camps under its control but
under false pretences or accommodation
some bad ones are bound to get in the
service and it should be the duty of
someone to take care of them as they
deserve.
Yours truly,
JOHN SCHAEFER.

who has checked up and located $50
farms that were given free of debt to
sons or daughters by parents but are
now frittered away and lost. This same
record can also be cited for other sons
and daughters. As rule inherited

circumstance is the basis for the old
