MERCHANTS MUST ADVERTISE "Fight Fire with Fire" and the Dol lars Now Going Cityward Will Stay in the Home Community. The merchant who would wage suc cessful warfare against mail-order competition should study mail-order methods. The same tactics that takes the dollar out of the community will keep it at home. And what are mail-order methods? The keynote of it all may be found in the one word—publicity. The mail order house advertises. It does not advertise better goods at less money than the home merchant gives, but it advertises persistently. It puts Its proposition before the public constant ly. it recognizes no dull season in its campaign for publicity. It never lets up. At a gathering in lowa some time ago a mail-order man explained some of the system followed in the cam paign of publicity. According to this ! explanation the mail-order house seeks the line of least resistance in its search for business. Whenever they can find a town in which the mer chants are not active advertisers I hey flood that community with their liter ature. When they find a town in which the furniture dealer, for exam ple, is afraid to use printer's ink they pay particular attention to the subject of furniture. They are searching for ; the weakest link in the chain of home defenses. Something of this is explained by Intelligent advertising means "• icing the bulldog power and te nacity of the local press on the competition offered the home merchant by I the catalogue houses. Intelligent ad vcrtising means the employment of ] mail-order methods in corjibating th e mail-order evil. the conditions the writer saw in a mill town in northern Wisconsin. The j local paper carried practically no local advertising when the size of the town was considered, and the stores of the town were but small affairs. In talk ing to one of the merchants he com- j plained that more than $25,000 was ; i sent from that community to the Chi- j cago mail-order houses each month.! , "That is easily twice the amount that j is spent in all the stores in this town ! j put together each month," he explain- j ed. "Merchandizing don't pay in such ! a place as this." A few hours later the writer was : talking with the publisher of the local j ; paper, and the conversation turned to j local advertising, or rather the lack ; ; of it. "I was very much templed to accept a proposition which 1 received from ! one of the Chicago mail-order houses i a few days ago," said the publisher. ! "I still have Hie proposition here en Imy de.;k. They offer me a cash con- j j tract at my regular display rates for j ! 1,500 inches, to be used during the! year, and in addition to Ihe cash ad j vertising they offer me a small com- ' ; mission on all the new business se- ' j cured in this county during the life 'of the contract. They say their busi ness in this county during the last 12 months was approximately SS,OOO per ! month, and 1 would secure a small I percentage on all business done owr ; this amount during the next 12 months." "Have you shown that proposition to the merchants of this town?" I ; asked. "I have, and it didn't move them." ; he replied. "They simply say it don't J pay to advertise. 1 would jump at i the offer if it were not for the fact ! that I cannot bring myself to the point | of doing that which I know will help to kill this community." i There was an illustration of inall i order methods. The wide-awake mail | order man proposed to reap a golden | harvest from the field tlifc very-much- I asleep local merchant would not eul CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL iB, 1907 Does it. pay to advertise? The more than $200,000,000 that finds its way to the Chicago mail-order houses each year is garnered by a campaign of advertising. Yon, Mr. Local Merchant, claim, and rightly, that you can sell the same goods for the same, or less money, than the mail-order houses offer, but at the same time you complain because the mail-order man gets the business. Why do they get it? Because they advertise. They not only advertise, but they advertise in your field, and they ad vertise in your field because you do not. They select towns, or special lines where they do not have to meet the competition that is offered by lo cal advertising, and they make adver tising pay. We want the people to trade at home; we want them to build up the home community; we want to see the dollars kept in circulation here that one and all of the local people may prosper. We do not want to see the fortunes of the city mail-order man built at. the expense of the local com munity, but we know absolutely the value of publicity, and we know the mail-order houses will capture the dol lars if the local merchants will not fight lire with lire; will not show the public what they can buy and at what price. Let us go back to this northern Wisconsin town and see what oppor tunities the merchants there were sac rificing. It was a mill town, and in no way an agricultural community. There were not 20 farms within a ra dius of as many miles. The industry was lumber, and the money to run the mills came l'rotn the city. The nearly 1,000 employes were paid in city money, and with a little effort on the part of the merchants in that town this money might have been kept in the town. It might have been made to build a permanent prosperity, l'.ut iVio, the merchants left a wide field for | tlio mail-order houses which they irn proved, and the money that might have built a town that would have | stood after the lumber interests are | gone and the mills are closed has been j j allowed to return to the city from j which it came, and now every lofty j j pine that falls but drives another nail j ■ in the coffin of the town, and all be- j i cause the merchants did not believe it i , would pay to advertise. WRIGHT A. PATTERSON. Child Turning Purple. Mary Highotz, three years old. of ■ | New York, is turning purple. The I doctor says she is suffering with a dis ! ease known as purpura hemorrhagica. I The child's mother first noticed the changing color three weeks ago. While bathing the girl she detected small j purple spots on various parts of the I I body. Alarmed, she applied home j 1 remedies, but the spots continued to j ! spread. The child's body presents the ! | appearance of being tattooed. Almost : the entire body is covered, with the j j exception of the face, which thus far ! t has not been affected. While most of i i he time the blotches are of a mellow i I purple, they occasionally change to a j i deep plum color or a dull red. Some j blotches are as large as a penny, oth- i ! ers are no larger than a pinhead. The, j I disease is probably caused by a rlieu- ! , matic germ. Only Believe.

We present a little drawing of one that can be easily made by an ingenious farmer, it is mounted on wheels, and Have the Weight Near the Wheels. can be drawn along by a man. while a boy steadies the handle to keep the wire from unwinding too rapidly and kinking. For winding up wire that is is taken off of a fence, the machine can either be pushed or pulled, going just fast enough to keep up with the wire as it is being wound on the reel. A little rack like this, says The Far mer, would be of considerable value to any one who has any amount of barb wire fencing to wind. INACCURATE SECD TESTING. What the Germination May and May Not Show. It Is not at all certain that peed when sown in the open field will show the same amount of digestibility as when sown in seed testing boxes or between plates in the house and un der ideal conditions of warmth and moisture. A great many experiments have been made to show what the germinating power of various seeds is, and it has been figured out that the results would be the same in the field as in the seed testers, it is inter esting, therefore, to note that a com parison of results do not show the eame percentage of seed germinating under the two conditions. In some comparative to3ts reported SI samples of seed of c->?s and wheat were tested'in regular seed testers. The lowest germination was 49 per cent, and the highest 99 per cent. A like number of samples of the sani" seed were planted in the open ground at the same time, the samples being the same grain as those planted in the testers. One of the oat samples that had shown a germination of 94 per cent, when planted in the tester gave only 54 per cent, of germination when planted in the open field. An other lot gave in the tester a germi nation of 81 per cent., yet when sown in the open field it gave only 13 per cent. This was a most remarkable de cline. One of the samples of wheat seed gave 63 per cent, of germination when sown in the seed tester, but when Bown in the field gave only S per cent, of germination. The poorest sample for field work gave G2 per cent, of ger mination when sown in tlie seed test er, but in the field gave only 4 per cent, of germination. This illustrates the fact that something besides ger mination festo need be looked for when figuring on what seed will do. Conditions in the field are much hard er than in a germinating plate. An investigation of this seed show ed that it had been produced under bad conditions and probably lacked vitality. It had been injuriously af fected by early fall frosts. Most of it had enough vitality to enable it to sprout under the perfectly favor able conditions found in a sprouting tray, but had not enough vitality to enable it to sprout when buried in the ground where the moisture supply would be too great or too little, the temperature too high or too low, and where the air would not have free access to the grain. The germination tests may still be considered valuable, says Farmers' Review, but they are by no means conclusive, so long as they are con ducted under ideal conditions. It is only rare that conditions in the open ground are ideal for the germination of seed. FARM NOTES. Do you lift or do you lean? It is comfortable to lean upon a fat jo!>.

I CARE OF THE SICK ROOM. | Above All Things the Walls Should Be Keot Dry. When the bedroom becomes a sick | room there is an added reason why ex ' treme precautions should lie used to keep the room In a thoroughly sanitary condition. Above all things, tlio bedroom should never be damp. It should be nice and dry always warm and comfortable in winter, cool and airy in summer, and I bright and sunny some parts of the ' day. 11' there is any suspicion of damp ! nesa in a bedroom it is probably due, { If there is wallpaper on the wall, to j the absorption of water by the paper j which frequently acts as a blotting pa ! per and holds quantities of water in it. The use of wallpaper on walls is to be deplored; it means disease, ill health and unhappiness. It is fre | quently the cause of lung trouble, not I only because of its dampness but also because of its power to retain infec | tion of many kinds. The desired method of treating a bedroom wall is to tint it for the ala ; bastined wall is a perfect wall. It | never flakes off, chips or peels. It ab j sorbs moisture and expels it, it opens j the pores of the plaster and makes a room livable and breathable. The floor in the bedroom should J have light, cleanabie, dainty rugs that | can be easily shaken and a floor that is thoroughly oiled or varnished, that i will not absorb moisture. The cracks in the floor should lie thoroughly filled | and covered. Woodwork in the bed room should bo attended to carefully, ' window sill;* should be thoroughly var i nislied or waxed, and the window cas ings kept in perfect order. The doors j should bo wiped off frequently as also should be all the standing woodwork in the bedroom, as the presence of | dust on woodwork is a menace to health as well as an evidence ol' poor j housekeeping. PROPER MANNER OF READING. Writer Sees Much Harm in Multi plicity of Books. It seems to mo that with the multi plication of books we are losing all sense of literature. Leisure and three books, a Bible, a Shakespeare, a Walt : Whitman, might make a man truly j wise if the seeds of wisdom were in ' him. I do not know even a wise man : whose instinct for wisdom would not be deadened by the frequentation of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. Books should lie taken in doses no bigijer | than music or pictures; they are even harder to digest. There is more drunkenness in a book than in all the i vineyards of France. A book may re make a man's soul. Books should be ; treated with reverence or cast out as dirt. They ore in danger of passing out of the service of thb tempfe into ! the "parcel delivery" of the grocer. Nothing is gained by reading a book unless you give to that book more than it brings to you. All these peo i pie who read with their eyes only are fatally wasting their time. A book ! read superficially makes the reader more superficial, and to read for "in j formation" is to gnaw at the bones of meat.—Arthur Symonds in Loudon Saturday Review. GRIT SAVED HIS LEG.
