GENESEO'S NOVEL

V :
Bringing People to Town Was
t the Otiject Sought.
. HOW THE METHOD WORKED.
Local Interest In Business Stimulated
by Monthly Public Auctions?Special
Attractions Offered to Farming Folk.

lu mcrwuaru ?inan.
The life of Getieseo is much like
that of other sn.all western New York
towns, and it wys decided to see if
something could be done to develop
more local interest in trade. A num- I
frS
bet of the merchants of Getieseo de- !
cided to combme and form a business
men's association to advertise the j
town and help the community, says
the New England Homestead.
A large number of the uieu decided |
that the thing to do was to arrange
^ome method for bringing the people
to town. It was decided, therefore, to
try holding a free-uuetiou each month.

f" desired to sell and the business men
would advertise it. catalogue it, pay
/or an auctioneer to sell it and turn
over the proceeds without any expeuse
** to the farmer.
At this time the different merchants
t J arranged special prices on certuln
lines of goods?thus: Seven cakes of
aoap for 25 cents or nineteen pounds
* of sugar for $1. One enterprising
jeweler on the first public auction day
^ sokl 500 solid silver thimbles1 at 17
f -cents each.
The public auctions kept the larrn|
ore busy?horses, cows, tools and farm
products attracted several hundred
imen. People who would not come to
town for any reason came ou market
day, and those who did not come to
|> purchase came to discuss things and
see what was going on.
The first market day was a decided
P success. The cost to the merchants
was made up by a levy of SI each on
" the members of the association. It has
since been decided that they will contribute
*1 each month and trv the svs
tem for a year The second auction
B Teas held under unfavorable climatic
i' conditions. t>dt was extremely profitBb
able to the merchants, and some $3,000
B worth of farm stock wus sold, nearly
y*- double that sold at the first auction.
B| At the third auction it was decided
to add it uew feature. Three weeks
before the event uotice was sent to all
^B the county papers that a seed distriH
butiou bureau would be established by
B the association. A committee outlined
B fbwfollowiug plan: All farmers having
fann seeds for sale anywhere in the
^brlcfnity were invited to send samples
^R'wfth the amounts they wished to selj
B^nnd the price. In the cuse of seed
Mjura they could briug ten ears or half
peck shelled, half a peck of oats or
B -beans and ten iwitatoes: also samples
B -of grass, clovers and alfalfa seeds.
First, second and third prize cards
I were awarded in each class, the JudgB
lug being done by Dr. Gilbert of the
5 State College of Agricuittire at Ithaca.
Be The fact of placing samples In compeB
tition added interest.
E Since the auction was not to be until
.after dinner the morning was devoted
!au institute, ur. uuneri giving an i
Idress on the importance of good
ed. This allowed time to discuss
e samples shown and to give in deil
methods for their improvement.
le exhibit and address were held in
e village hall Ou a bulletin board
?re posted the names of all people
iving produce to'sell and of n'\v pern
who wanted to buy. ^nd the comittee
sought to bring tlie parties tother.
In order that the farmers might see
aether their soil conditions were
nilar a soll map of Livingston counwas
hung iu the room, an advance
py having just been received from
s United States department of agriIture.
A Flo wer as Rent.
I dispatch frocu Flint. Mich., reports
it the local school board has secured
ninety-nine year lease of a site for
new school building at the rate of
e clover blossom a year. The uiau
10 offered to rent the land on these
ids is something of a poet, and the
ird in accepting the offer has ened
into his spirit and determined, it
said, to make every year a ceremo>us
payment of the rent. It is a pity
iuat when sites are given, as they so
often are, the generous donors do not
exact some such rental as this\ that
will requiiv a touch at least of beauf

of a bunch of roses or of some other
chosen flower which must be crown on
the premises under the children's care
would inject a new, n much needed
and delightful element into school life.
? Some Men's Advertising.
Once there was a man who adver
*tised. He inserted in the local paper
a one Inch card, which read: "James
Jones, Grocer. I solicit the trade of
the Feople. 4011 Dead St." This man
nflWL JftU cents for this ad. for one
monlh. No one told him that they
traded with him because he advertised,
and he told the editor his paper
was no good as a trade puller and to
pay money fo~ advertising was a
waste. One year later the sheriff
closed him out. and the man has ner^
>r advertised sh oe. Those who would
advertise take warning.

A Tip For the Angler.
There had been :iit incessant down
pout* of rain front the early hours oi
the morning. It was now andsti!;
the angler sat on the hank of tlie river.
Success did n ?t attend his efforts
ami his only consolation was a small
eel about the size of a worm.
Suddenly a drenched urchin made his
appenraix e. "Caught much?" asked
1 the boy.
' Can't you see?" impatiently replied
the angler.
' "Ver'II catch nothing there, mister."
No reply. After a slight pause. "I know
where you can catch some, though."
"Where?" eagerly inquired the ar
dent .-uurler.
"Under the bridge." replied the boy.
"How do you know?"
"'Cause tlie.v alius go there to keep
out of the rain."
The angler get up to stretch himself,
and the youth made a hasty retreat.?
