Two Men Narrowly Kraped Ilclng
Hit by Missile
What might hare proven a very
serious accident occured at the court
house last Saturday when workmen
were dynamiting the floor of the old
Jail In their efforts to loosen it so it
could be removed.
County Attorney Basye's office is
on the third floor, on the same side
of the building as the Jail stood. The
first shot of dynamite made quite a
scatterment but nothing was thought
of It, but the second and last shot
was the one which produced "re
sults". The small pieces of concrete
went up in the air, and one, slightly
larger than the others, made a direct
drive for the window of Mr. Basye's
office, going through the glass and
falling on the floor. Clerk Har
graves and Mr. Basye were standing
In the room at the time, watching
the performance, and noticed the
piece coming their way, but thought
it would go on top of the building.
Had Mr. Hargraves stood still, he
would probably have received a mor
tal wound on top of his head. How
ever, both men sidestepped and no
damage was done except to the win
dow. The hole In the plans was
clean cut, and about four Inches In
diameter.
Occupants of the district court
room and of other offices In the
building Were startled when the con
crete began to drop onto the roof,
and those with vivid Imaginations
might have thought themselves In
London, wtth Zeppelins dropping
deadly missiles on their shelter.

Over 90 per cent of
Business Men Fail
Men fail in business because they do not know the game.
They lack system and a thorough knowledge of their business.
The reason why so many would-be farmers fail is because they
know little or nothing of the science of farming. They think
anybody can farm and then are surprised to find that their
crops will not grow. The farmer who is always behind, who
always has bad luck with his crops, is the man who farms by
guess and trusts to luck. If he were in the mercantile business
he would be in the hands of a receiver within a year. He is
a failure but he hangs on because the poorest farmer can get a
living out of the land if he only plows and 6ows the seed.
An Agricultural Education
The first thing a young man who intends to go into busi
ness should do is to take a course in a business college. Here
he can become familiar with the first principles of business,
without which he will fail. The first thing a man who expects
to farm should do is to take a course in an agricultural college,
if he can, but if he has not the time or the money to spend in a
two-year course, he can get the same instruction at home by
taking a course in the Campbell Correspondence School of Soil
Culture. Everything is furnished books and all at a very
slight cost, and the best thing about it, he docs not have to
leave the farm or his work.
He can choose from the following courses:
Soil Improvement Course Cereal Culture Course
Horticultural Course Dry Farming Course
Small Fanning Course Farm Engineering Course
Soil Tillage Course
Summer is the time to study agriculture, and the farm and
garden is the laboratory in which to work out the problems.
Don't wait for fall or winter to begin, but get bsuy now. You
will learn more in one summer applying your instruction in the
fields than in a dozen winters sitting by the fire.

posed to return the woman to Alli

that she should be put in a house of

erable commotion here when she
was locked In the city Jail, by climb

calling to men on the street to give
her a cigarette, shouting for help,

a sojourn In the asylum will be bene

lion bushels of potatoes still unsold
in the state of New York, yet press
quotations In metropolitan dailies
are almost as high as If there were
no overproduction. In other words,
the price to the consumer Is from
seventy cents to one dollar and twen
ty cents a bushel In the large cen
ters, although according to the coun
try weekly newspapers of the state
of New York potatoes can now be
bought from the farmers at from
fifteen to thirty cents a bushel. They
say that if there were not such a dis
crepancy In price between the pro
ducer and the consumer It would be
possible to dispose of more of the
present overproduction. Various
plans have been suggested for dis
posing of the crop, but not one Is
said to offer a suitable solution of
the difficulty. According to the fed
eral department of agriculture, the
potato has practically only one com
mercial outlet In the United States
and that Is as human food. In Ger
many, the potato is the basis for at
least forty different products, includ
ing potato flour and alcohol. The
outlet for potatoes through this
source In this country Is at present
said to be almost negligible.

A Word on Advert Iwing
It has been a long time since the
merchant bas had the opportunity
that now lies at his very door. The
winter that Ms passed was a hard
one, financially, for many people,
and customers are more alert than
ever for good bargains. The mer
chant who can secure bargains for
his customers and honestly adver
tise his wares Is sure of large returns
for the advertisement.
The great trouble of some adver
tisers Is that they are not exactly
truthful In the ads. The ad may
not be purposely misleading, but the
article or articles are not lust as they
are represented to be, and the read
er loses faith In the merchant. It
would be a revelation to the mer
chant If It were possible for him to
know how many people look at his
ad to see what he bas to offer In the
line of bargains, and right here Is
the mistake of the reader. Adver
tisements are not concerned or
should not be concerned with bar
gains only. The reason that they
are so often looked on as bargain an
nouncements Is the fact that so many
advertisers pay for printers' Ink only
when they have bargains. It Is a
wrong attitude on the part of the
merchant and the buyer. Goods
should be advertised whether they
are marked down or not. Advertis
ing is getting to be a necessity If one
would draw trade, and the sooner
the merchant realizes the necessity
of constant, truthful advertising the
oftener will he turn over his stock
of goods.
