Mi?'h Tools
At home il seems to bo the rule
Fa never has "the proper tool"
Or ktiuck to tlx thing*. For the
blunt
That stumps iuu, you'll huve to huu
The caster In tfie table leg \
Fell out . Ha said a w*ooden peg
Would fix It up. Hut ma kop' mum
An' fixed It with a wad of gum.
Wo could scarce open our front door
It stuck bo tight. An' pa, he swore
He'd "buy a plane" as big ait llfe-^
Ma fixed it with the carving kuife.
The bureau drawer got Htuck one
day,
An', push or pull, 'twas there to
stay,
Say? pa, "Borne day 'twill Hhrink 1
hope."
Ma fixed It with a piece% of soap.
The window-shade got out of whack
'Twould not pull down, jior yet roll
back.
Fa says, "No utio can tlx that thing'
Ma fixed it with a piece of string.
1 broke the stove ifcoor hinge one
day.
CTwas cracked before, though, any
way.)
l'a said we'd put a now door l/i.
Ma grabbed her hair un' got a pin.
The bath-tub drain got all clogged
up.
Ha balled the tub out with a cup?
lie hud a dreadful helpless' look.
Ma cleaned It. with a crochet-hook.
One day our old clock wouldn't
? start.
Ha salil ho'd take It all apart
Borne day and fix the old machine.
Mu soused the works In gasoline.
The garden gate latch broke one
day.
Cows ate our sweet corn up. An'
say,
Ha scolded like a house afire!
"Ma fixed the latch up with buy wlrej
Ho when ipy things got out of fix
Ho 1 ask pa ifo mend 'em? Nix!
Hut ma just grabs what's near at
hand
An' togs things up to beat the band.

About Advertising.
What would you think of

who never changed IjiIh win
dow dlKplay front one wi-ok't

he did, continued to use thy
hum e plan of display. You
would no doubt buy that man
never hud unythluK new to
show, hut wiiH u fossl I, out
of date, back number, or
boinu equally iih uncompll
-montury conclusion would bo
arrived at. , ,
Hoiuo merchants womlur
why thoy don't got returns
from tholr advertislng, thoy
contend that tlio people do
not road advertising. The
whole truth In JiiBt here, the
advertisements are not made
, attractive. You can count
on if that tho people will no
tice and read ovory lino that
In up to date and attractive.
If you, Mr. Merchant, con
tinue day by day to run your
ads In the tAuno atylo, us
ing the same type, same
Hpace and particularly say
ing the name thing, you'vo
nobody to blamo but your
solf for not getting proper
roturiiH from your advortls
Ing. The people don't have
to read It, becauao they all
know "by heart" what you
are telling them. TIiIb same

just an monolonoiiK iih the
KameneBB In window dress
ing, or any other display of
your merchandise. Your ads
Hhould be gotten up, attract
ively, they Bhould be Illus
trated, thoy Bhould not con
tain too much wording, to
be short and to the point,
and give the newspaper irfan
an opportunity to display
bis skill in the arrangement
of your adB. You will find
that people read advertise

If you see hoiiio feller tryln'

You can boost It up a trifle;
That's your cue to let him know
That you're not a-goln* to knock It,
Just because It atnt your "shout,"
But you're goln' to boost a little,
'C^iuse he's got "the best thing out.'
If you know some feller's fallin's,
Jus forge 'em 'cause you know
That same feller's got some good
