Medal Contest at Wiggle Creek
Ttie W.C.T.r. of Wiggle Creek held
a Surer Medal contest at the church
1- riday night. Jiov. 1. which washighy
appreciated by the whole community.
Tue selections were of a high or ler
and very well spoken, asone man said.
"It did not seem like a children's en
tertainment Tiie church was beau
: tifullj decorated with garlands of
evergreen and yellow autumn leaves.
The mottoes and banners in the front
deserve special mention. One was a
arge drawing of Father Time handing
Hie world to the eager outstretched
lands of a little boy. A bove were the
words. -Help Father Time give a
world, clean, safe aad pure to the
boys and girls." Thecontest was very
j clone, but ali agreed with the judges
that Yeva Wilkie'S* as a fraction the
I best She got the beautiful silver
medal, but each one of the others
got a pretty sliie.d pirn with the let

A beautiful coincidence was Uie
fact tiuit it was Mr Wilkie’s birthday,
and tie had a daughter Veva who got

think of a finer birthday present.

ADVERTISING
FARM SALES
Dollars Used for Advertising
Farm Sales Wisely Invested
NEWSPAPER^SPACE BEST
All Forms of Publicity Good, but
Some are Superior to Others
Some farmers who conduct an auc
tion sale of farm machinery and live
stock are getting as wise as the dry
goods merchants and they are adver
tising their sales just as freely as the
merchant advertises a bargain sale
There has been a remarkable change
in the manner of advertising these
farm sales. A dozen years ago the
average farmer who made a sale of his
personal property at auction thought
he was doing enough advertising if he
bought $2 or $3 worth of handbills and
scattered them about the neighbor
hood, but today the wise farmer is run
ning attractive display advertising in
the county newspapers.
Some of the best auctioneers will
not contract to cry a farm sale unless
the owner of the property to be sold
will do a specified amount of adver
tising. On this subject a successful
auctioneer recently said: “It is hard
work trying to sell property at right
prices to a small crowd, but it is easy
when the crowd is large, because
there seems to be a sort of electric *
current through the bigjcrowd. always
arousing contention among the bid
ders. 1 positively know that judicious \
advertising of a farm sale brings good ;
money to the owner of the property.
Let me illustrate: Suppose that by the
aid of good advertising a farmer can
draw to his sale only two bidders who
would not have been there if they had
net seen the advertising. Suppose
these two bidders each happen to want
the same kind of a horse or some >
cattle or farm machinery offered at
the sale. Why, the bidding of these
two extra bidders at a sale might in
crease the sale price of one team of
horses enough to cover the cost of
advertising, and the example of the
two bidders might inspire the other
bidders to pay a much higher price
for everything than they would have
paid if the two extra bidders had not
been there to put ginger into the bid
ding.-’
Tiie auctioneer was asked to give his
idea about the best plan for adver
tising. and he replied: ‘•The best
money a man can spend in advertising
a sale of farm property is to carry an
advertisement in the county news
paper. My advice is to select a county
newspaper which lias a large circu
lation. and carry a good-sized adver
tisement two or three weeks in ad
vance of the sale. It is all right to !
have handbills printed and scattered i
over the the neighborhood, but the
newspaper advertising is much better
than the bills because handbills are
quickly destroyed, while the newspa
per advertisement is taken into every
home, and is constantly before the
readers of the county paper. I would
also advise every farmer to mail a lot
of postal cards to persons whom he
believes might be interested in his
sale. Mail the cards just a day or
two before the sale, thus getting a
late jog to the memory of those who |
might otherwise forget about the,
sale.”—Aurora Republican.
