A WORD TO A5iari3E RS
And Store Keeper in General About
One Way to Overcome the
4tjv- "Store Evil."
. Plow deeper, 'Mr. Ad'er. Texas has
bad a card time with the boll weevil,
that Industrious Hum beetle that eats
up the product of the cotton fields. A
recent writer , in "Success" has es
timated fifty million dollars damages
In one year. The farmers were at their
wit's end. They began to, plow the
land deeper to urge the cotton to an
early maturity and harvest it before
the weevils multiplied enough to de
stroy it.
There is an advertiser in a little
eastern city of about 4.000 population
who has been troubled by a "store evil"
almost as difficult to understand as the
boll weevil and which begins its work
of trade destruction early in
the game like the little boll weevil
This merchant was annoyed greatly
to find that only about 25 per cent of
his best country trade (cash customers)
were bringing in their products to sell
or exchange in his town. He began to
"plow deeper" and have some heart
to heart talks with his friends through
out the county, and one by one he dis
covered they were selling tbelr products
from the farm to neighboring towns
(going out of tbeir way to reach a
market) where they could procure the
cash in payment, with which they were
sending away to the gieat city for what
they believed was "the identical goods,"
sold by the home merchant for at least
one-fourth less.
This merchant made an offer to buy
for cash everything his neighbors
would bring to town at any time they
might come, and always give them the
"highest market price." By this means
he turned the tide and soon found quite
a number coming to biro for the cash
To these he said: "Now friend, sit
down here in my office, I want to tell
you something. I have baen doing as
T agreed. Now did you ever think that
part of that cash ought to stay at
home? Don't you tbink 1 am entitled
to an even chance with the mail-order
bouse which you are trading with.?"
Well, they "hadn't thought much
about that aide of the question". But
now tbey receive a monthly prlcp list
by mail from the merchant convincing
the neighbor that it is worth while to
give the home merchant a chance first.
Maybe you, Mr. Advertiser, can plow
deeper, and beat the "store evil."

THE STAR GLASS CO. PLANT.
Emerging .from the' tile plant the
leaders of tbe delegation saw a 'door of
tee mar glass plant open and promptly
disappeared within It, followed by the
balance of the gentlemen. They saw
tbe famous machine on which tbeln
terest of glass workers the world over
is now .centered, xnls machine was
very fully described in The Star some
time ago and for that reason little com
ment is made on Its relation "to the
Industrial future of ReynoldsvlIleT"
THE silk mill.
P. F. Bolger, tbe sole representative
or the American Silk Company InReyn
oidsvuie, very kindly consented to ad
mit tbe visitors and allowed them to
inspect the mill and its equipment. As
has been frequently been stated before.
the mill is in superb condition, ready to
start at a day's notice. Tbe Interior.
with its unsoiled white and erav nalnt
and long rows of green looms is almost
beautiful in appearance, but
It's awfully quiet.
Possibly no event could cause more
general rejoicing in Reynoldsvllle than
an announcement of resumption of work
in this mill, and there is genuine ground
for hope given by letters received by
the Association, that such an announce
ment may come sooner than has been
anticipated.
THE JEFFERSON MACARONI FACTORY.
To mssy in tbe party the operations
witnessed in the Jefferson Macaroni
factory were as as much of a novelty as
anything witnessed during the excur
sion. The company has a finely equip
ped mill and the visitors were shown
every detail in the process of manufac
ture by Harry K. Pifer. from the mix-
Ing of the flour and water, the powerful
machines which press it into the various
forms of macaroni, through the drying
lofts to the packing department, and
lastly the box making deoartment.
which Is not the least of the wonders
there. The factory has an established
trade and tbe best possible proof of
the company's success is the fact that a
targe addition to the plant is under con
slderatlon.
The trip was a success from every
point or view. It gave the business
men a new and firmer cnnvlntlnn nf tha
Droaa and sound foundation upon which
tne prosperity of Revnn Mavllin met
And these six Indlint.rlea 17 mil nod nn ena
mil are out part of those contributing
to tne town's permanence.

ADVANCE FARM SCHEDULE
Farmers to be Furnished Copies Before
the Census Begins.
A great increase in tbe accuracy ol
the census returns from the farn eras,
a considerable saving of the working
time of the farm enumerators, si d tha
removal of., much; of whatever mis
apprehensions and prejudices aj exist
among farmers with regard to the cen
sus are the important results expected
by the United States Census Bureau
to follow the use of the Advance Farm
Schedule, which has been adopted and
will be circulated, through tbe rural
postmasters, among the farmers
short time before tbe actual census
taking.
Tbe employment of this advance
schedule Is a distinct innovation in
census methods. It is the logical and
practical outcome of the Census
Bureau's persistent effort for some
time past to give tbe farmers a clear
and comprehensive knowledge of the
farm census questions and to induce
them to keep written records of their
farm operations and equipment in
readiness for the call of the enumer
ators, beginning April 15th next.
Postmaster-General Hitchcock has '
promised the assistance of his depart
ment in the effective distribution of the
schedules, and he will issue instructions
relative thereto to the rural postmast
ers. They will be required to addreBS
and forward to tbe farmers receiving
mall at their offices the advance farm
schedules supplied tbem by the enumer
ators. In a note to farmers on the front
page of tbe schedule, Census Director
Durand states:
"In accordance with the act of Con
gress, the census of the population and
farms of the United StateB will begin
on April 15, 1910. On or soon after
that date an enumerator will call at
your house for the purpose of obtaining
tbe required information concerning
your farm.
"Many of the questions which will
be asked you concerning the equipment
and operations of your farm cannot be
accurately answered by 1 you without
considerable thought and the making
of careful calculations or ectlmtcs. '
Therefore, this form has been sent to
you in advance, so that' you may study
tbe questions at your convenience and
have tbe answers written down before
the enumerator comes.
"You are earnestly requested to read
this form and instructions carefully, to
write down the answers to all questions
that apply to your farm, and to keep
it until the enumerator comes. By
doing this you save yourself much
time and contribute greatly to tbe
success of the agricultural census.
"Besides the Information concerning
your farm, the enumerator will also
ask you the names, ages, and other
facts concerning the members of your
household."
