r-.ent on generally prosperous con'
t itions will be interested in on j
paragraph of a letter just receive-1
com Mr. Jamc- Simpson, presl
t.snt of Marshall Field & Company.
Mr. Simp. sr.. rvl.oeo business finr
creeds one hundred millions a
year, writes:
"Business for the year starts off
very well with us, aud the general
feeling of confidence is developing
with just enough conservatism to
make uie feel certain that we are
entering upon a period of sound
business development and activity."
Mr. Simpson's opinion does not
merely reflect the enormous retail
business done by Marshall Field &
Company in Chicago.
The wholesale department of
Marshall Field, biggest in the
United States, reaches into every
corner of the country, doing busi
ness with thousands of merchants.
There is no better test of na
tional conditions than the story
told on the Looks cf that epgantlc
firm.
The duty of each citizen is to be
lieve -vnd say that prosperity is
here, Iiat it will remain and grow,
and that this nation will realize to
the full its extraordinary position
and opportunities among the na
tions of the world.
We have everything that any
nation could possibly ask for.

lack of confidence.

67-Troas. Acme Mfg. Company
On a trip I have just completed, vis
itlng Acme dealers and customers,
find that many farmers have not ye
arranged for their season's fertilise
supply. This is due to the lato seatso:
and the condition of the roads in cer
tain localities which hfts prevente
hauling.
Every farmer who has put off his
fertilizer buying should attend to this
at once. Orders can now be filled
promptly by most dealers and prop
erly cured mixtures can be secured
The fellow who waits is taking a
chance. Perhaps the brand he want
cannot be furnished at the time he
needs it. He must then accept an in
ftrior brand or take "new" mixtures
Before buying any fertilizer, tal
tc an Acme dealer or write us. Gc
the facts about ^ Acme fertilizers?
how foe forty-two years thpy hav,
been producing banner crops for nun
dreds of farmers. Acme fertilizer!
are composed of ingredients of prov
en plant food value. They are mail
from non-secret formulae They ar?
right up to date and in keeping wit
modern growing conditions and scien
tific manufacture.
The Acme Manufacturing Company
is an independent home concern. Alt
business and .correspondence with
customers is handled with Mr. Gil
christ or myself. There are no "high
er-ups." Whether you buy one bag
or a carload your business is appre

We receive many letters each year
from users of Acme fertilizers. Here

Fine Work Add* "Chic"
to Spring's New Frocks
Here is a spring; frock of fine crepe
de chine in the color called "burnt
russet," which is a new name for a
deep henna-red. It is simply designed,
in the straight-line style, with a lit
tle modish fullness introduced at the
sides, but it is a difficult and beauti
ful piece of craftsmanship, because
the fabric is entirely covered with
pin tucks. The^p^rfect accuracy of
this tucking^ places the frock In the
distinguished class.
Natural-colored pongee Is used for
the collar and cults, which are plain,
and make an ideal color contrast with
the frock. Everything abont the
dress, Its color, style and fabrics, com
mend for wear now and throughout
the season.

power can enforce. While the
