good-they are inferior and the mer-

cause 1t is more to his advantage
to do SO than ii is to yours.
Many stores pay their salesman
commission for selling unknown
and unadvertised goods, because the
salesman would not sell them with
out some special inducement.
1t is much better for you as a
consumer to put your reliance abb
solutely in advertised goods and LII
stores which advertise, and to pa
tronize both exclusively. :
When a man advertises his goods
and tells frankly and publicly what
they will do for you, he seeks your
patronage on the basis of actual
value.
1t may be that some manufac-
turers or merchants can offer just
as good value in unknown or I'M
advertised goods. But the chances
are ten to one that they can't-be-
cause advertising not only increases
the distribution of goods. but at the
same time increases the production,
so that advertised goods cost less
to make, hence, gives more to the
buyer.
In the long run you get more for
your money when you buy advcr-
tised goods. You get more In ac.
tual value. And also get more In
that intangible value, known as con-
fidence.
And confidence is one of the chief
satisfactions of life.

Progress Made in
Reducing Road Accidents

Aroused motorists, demanding
more common-sense driving and
greater safety on streets and high
ways, are getting results in their
nation wide crusade to reduce traf-
fic accidents.
Already a 10 per cent decrease in
serious accidents is being shown for
1899 as compared with the same pc
Rod of 1888, according to official
figures from the United States bu-
reau of census.
In the West, exceptionally good
records in accident prevention are
being made by many cities. Phoe
nix, Glendale, Pasadena, Los Ange-
les, Berkeley, Seattle, and Tacoma
are leading, with Tacoma and Salt
Lake City showing the greatest per-
centages of reduction.
Thousands of motorists are aiding
the movement for safe driving by

The crumbling brick walls of the old bank building
mark the site of an abandoned community, a monu-

Move the population out of any city, and nothing

AGRICULTURE
(By Montana Extension Service)

Miss H. E. Cushman, extension
poultry specialist at Montana State
college, calls the attention of poul-
try growers to the June poultry
and egg report of the federal bu-
reau of agricultural economics. This
report shows about 3 per cent more
young chickens in Z. S. farm flocks
on that date than last year, indi-
eating larger laying flocks for next
season. In view of this fact she
again cautions growers that they
must exercise good management to
realize profit on their flocks.
Wherever possible. she said, cor
ners must be cut in feeding, hous-
ing and sanitation without impair
ing quality of production Gener-
Gus use of homegrown feeds will
go far in cutting costs.
