JOHN BAUER Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y X V Y Y Y A. Y Y t Y Y 41 X Y Y Y Y Y The remarkable sueccssof the Ladies' Home Journal and the Saturday Even ' ing IVst is due to ths policy adopted by Cyrus II. K. Curti?, the founder and owner, which may be summed up in : the single sentence: To make a paper that everybody wants and to see that 1 everybody knows about it. When Mr. Curtis started the Ladit3' Home Journal in 1S?3 u a small eight : page supplement to the Tribune-Farmer I he applied to the advertising agency of N. W. Ayer & Son of Philadelphia for $100 credit and then paid the entire amount for a singular advertisement in one ptrodical, which he believed to be the effective medium for reaching the people most likely to take a paper pub lished especially for women. Tnat ad vertisment announced that one" person could have his new paper for 25 cents a year and that five persons, clubbing to gether, could each have a copy for a dollar. Several thousand people decid ed that they wanted the paper, and the response from that first advertisement so encouraged Mr. Curtis that he spent every cent he received and all the credit he could command to make the Ladies' Home Journal known among women who read in America. Mrs. Curtis did the editorial work while he looked after the business end of the enterprise, and the consequence was unprecedented suc cess. The same policy has been pur sued ever since.and an average of not less than $300,000 a year has been ex pended in trying to convince the Ameri can people that the Ladies' Home Journal is the best paper for women in the world and the Saturday Evening Post the best light reading for men. There has never been a more effec tive or a more significant application of the best principles of advertising in the business world. There were 25,000 subscribers for the Ladies' Home Journal the first year, and every dollar of the profit was ex pended for advertising; at the end of the second year circulation was 100,000, and at the end of the third year 400,000, and, although the price wrs raised from 25 to CO cents a year in 1SS7 and to $1 in 1839, the circulation has been going up gradually until now 1,250,000 copies are published every month. When the subscription price was doubled and the size of the paper was increased from sixteen to thirty-two pages Mr. Curtis spent $325,000 to make that fact known. In one month in 1890 he spent $10,000 for advertisements in the dailies and magazines throughout the country, al thoutrh the receipts for that month were only $28,000. But the results be gan to appear shortly after and the subscriptions began to come in so fast that the clerical force had to be doubled in order to op'en the letters and send re ceipts for money. At one time six large safes in the office were filled with unopened letters If this policy of advertising can pro duce a circulation of a million and a quarter, Mr. Curtis thinks it will be good for two million, and that is the mark he has fixed for the first issue from his new building now under con struction, which will be ready to occupy two years hence.

A new line of fireworks at Gering's. A Practical Farmer. Chris Parakening, a well-to-do farm er living about six miles west of Platts mouth wa3 in the city on business Thursday. Mr. Parakening says the corn crop3 look bad and small in his neighborhood as it has been too wet to plow and the nights are too cool for corn to grow fast. Chris has had a long experience in farming both here and in the old country, and his opinion carries much weight. He says that the hot sun shining on small grain after heavy showers, will cause rust to start and many of the wheat stockB will fall mak ing a shortage in the yield. He states that alfalfa is a very valuable crop to farmers, and in order to get the most out it the farmer must watch its growth and the weather very closely. He states alfalfa should not lay longer than a day after cutting, but should be shocked and left to dry in that way, after which it can safely be put In the barn with no danger of heating; also that the leaves stay on and the crop has a fresh green color when handled this way, which shows that it has been properly cured. Former Senator S. L. Thomas was in the city Saturday and concluded the settlement on the land which he recent ly disposed of.
