(?<?<><! Advice lo I at iihth From One
of Their N urn tier.
Now the firne iIiIiik 1 wouid ad
vine iin. farmer to do Is to h&ve
the editor print for him hoiiic en
velopes to use in hi* correspou- j
dence, and probably some l0tter
Im ,k!m U will coKt but, u trifle
more than to buyytho paper and en
velope at the Btore and maybe not
ho much. When a man getK a let
ter' printed neatly on tho paper, ho'
concludes that you are at least of
enough importance to put your
name before the wofld no It c/?n bo
Been. *
Then get familiar with the editor
at? a factor in selllug your stuff. If
you give him 15 cents to run you
a three line reader in his paper,
saying :
"Turnip Greens, Onions, Radishes
Henry Jones will be in town on
Monday with turnip greens, onions
and radishes."
You will have the people In the
residence streets informed of your
coming, and ready to buy more
quickly than If you argue the ques
tion after you arrive. If you ask
them In the paper to telephone an
order to your house before you start
to town, you may ? sell out all the
stuff you propose to tako before
I'ou have It on your wagon.
Tell the people through tho paper
that your Klondike strawberries will
bo ripe by Wednesday, and sell for
15 cents a quart. Tell them you
have killed a l>oef and will deliver
bomo desirable pieces of meat no a
certain date, at wholesale prices, al
ways naming the price.
Your paper will help you to sell
the cow that you do not find a pur
chaser for iimoiiK your Immediate
neighbors, It will locate a man
who would take a dozen of your
eggs for setting at a reasonable
price, but who does not know you
have them unless you tell him In
the paper. The paper is merely a
man with a bigger audience than
you can get yourself, and it tells
the story to all of them. It tells
what you want to tell, ai)d It tells
it for very little, cost. ? Bion H.

happened to be In the yard office
when the force was out. The tele
phone rang vigorously several times
and he at last decided It ought to be
aonswered. lie walked over to the In
strument, took down the receiver and]
put his mouth to the transmitter, Just
as he had seen others do.

What She Meant.
"80 you think I smoke too much?"
he asked, Just to keep up a conversa
tion that seemed to be languishing.
"Not at all," she answered, not very
skillfully concealing a yawn.
"You said you thought so."
"Pardon me. I don't think you are
smoking too much."
"Didn't you Bay that I'd die if I
didn't cut it down?"
"Yes ? that's what I said/'
It took him a long time to get it,
and then he was quite angry.
