([National Crop Improvement Service.l There are not a--dozen feed stores in the country that carry in stock all the ingredients of a first-class mixed feed at all times and at reasonable prices, and usually they do not carry feeds of the same high quality used by-the mixers who work scientifically through a laboratory. This is human nature. Competition compels a dealer to sell the cheapest quality. The best quality of feed is seldom carried, be- cause the average huyer will not pay, the highest price.

Mixed feeds, there- fore, are largely a matter of arith- metic. You can usually get the result for less money than by feeding more ex- pensive grains separately.

It does not necessarily follow that = special fund should be raised to advertise the community as a whole, though even such a course has its advantages. What is needed, however, is a close co-operation of the various busi- ness interests of the community in the matter of advertising. It is as easy for an advertiser to give a local coloring to his ads that will attract attention to the community in general as to ‘“hog” the whole. In fact, the advertiser who does not contribute to the reputation of the whole community is not greatly to be desired by his fellows. A splendid plan for co-operative advertising is for the merchants to work in concert to advertise their wares “by line.” That is, one par- ticular line of goods should be advertised at a time. Now it is an obvious fact that no merchant is able to properly dis- play ALL of his goods at one time. He can, however, make a very cred- itable display of ONE PARTICULAR LINE at a time. Take, for instance, dry goods. As a beginning let all of the dry goods men in town get together and agree on a day wherein they will make a special display and sale of WHITE GOODS. Advertise this day well in the local papers, and be sure to arrange the best window and counter displays possible. Do this, even if you have to move other lines to the rear in order to make room. Such a display in every dry goods house in the town will prove a drawing card all over the surrounding territory ,and not only will all of the individuals inteested benefit by it, but the community will have pulled off a stunf that will invariably at- tract much favorable comment regarding the town. This plan, then, can be followed throughout the entire stock. Linen goods, percales, prints, ginghams, silks—all the groups of fabrics can be taken up and handled in this manner, one at a time. And the plan need not be confined to the dry goods man. The gro- cery merchants can arrange creditable displays in the same manner, while it is a physical impossibility for them to display their entire stock to any advantage. And the hardware men, the clothiers, the shoe dealers, the milliners, the jewelers—any and all lines that can combine and put up a creditable display will find it profitable to themselves and the community. Bear in mind, however, that it is better to include as many firms and individuals in the plan as possible, as the effect is better and more general in its character. It at once sets the stamp of progressiveness upon the individuals interested and upon the community as a whole. Such a plan systematically followed will result in displays that will be truly astonishing. Hundreds of articles will be brought to public no- tice that, but for such a plan, would rest quietly on the shelves and prob- ably not be noticed by a dozen people during the entire season. With many people the question of their wants is largely suggestive. They want what they see, provided the article is attractive—and it is seldom attractive while reposing peacefully on a shelf. Such a plan would bring to public attention the many things the town affords, and the community would build up a splendid reputation for preparedness and efficiency. Kongo Salt Marshes. Along the central part of the Kongo river there are a number of salt marsh- es. The African digs shallow holes in these, whence issue streams of hot wa- ter, which on being evaporated leaves: a residue of salt. . = Clearance Sale Shogs Still Continues at Knapp's Shoe Store Young women’s DECENCY IS ASSERTING SELF — low heel gun Starting with the cleanup of Campbell Lake club and the descent of rit’ Johreen, Deputy Sheriff Denley and several deputized citizens of i ¢n five more wide open places wherein were sold liquor of all 13 :;, as narrated in yesterday's Pioneer, it can be said that what has happened has been fomenting for some time.
