JOSEPH L. MURPHY, Pres.
' Lauds Newspapers.
"If you merchants want advertis
ing go to the plants that hare built
your city the newspapers. They
advertise you more than the little 3 by
6 display ad. you place in one corner
of them can pay for. They some.
times say nice things about you, and
often they don't say things about
you which are not nice. The news
papers are the best advertisement
a city or a group of business men
possess.
fThiswasthe keynote of a talk
delivered before 150 representative
business men of Kansas City, Kan.,
by J. M. Robinson, a well known
business man of Topeka, Kan., who
discussed the system used by busi
ness houses of that city in avoiding
the advertising abuses forced on
merchants by 1 odges, churches and
other organizations in the form of
programs, etc. lie said in part :
''We formed our associations seven
years ago at a committee meeting of
tne Commercial tlub. .uacn mem.
ber of the committee present had
been held, up that day from $5 to
$10 each by some organization for
advertising Bpace in the program for
a social or something of the kind.
We decided rig lit there to eliminate
objectionable advertising and public
su inscriptions from our daily busi
ness 'if e, and after dividing - adver
tising under the beads of legitimate
and illegitimate, we decided that
outside of the newspapers 95 per
cent, of it was illegitimate.
''We have formed an association
of representative business men, and
now, when a committee from a
church, lodge or other social or civic
organization comes into our business
houses for subscriptions or to sell
space in the ad vtr using program, we
rfer them to a secretary, to whom
we pay to look np Buch requests. If
the proposition is a good one we sub
scribe to it, bat the merchants are
not bothered by solicitors or 'lorced'
to give money for advertising which
does not bring results by the fear
that a competitor down the street
will get into the good graces of the
solicitors by giving money.
"In Topeka it used to be that a
lodge which had a deposit in a bank
would go to the officials of the insti
tution with a progritn, aud tbey
either had to lose the account, and
by taking the subscription the bank
officials gave the solicitors a lever
age of every other bsuk in town.
We do a great deal of j charity work
at a small cost to each member of
the organization.
"In the case of a public enter
prise like building a neiv Y. M. C.
A. building, we pledge ourselves to
give $5,000, for instance, provided
the soliciting commitee raises a like
amount from the business men who
are not members of the organization.
One member of our association,
whose annual assessement is $24,
found that he was saving so much
in the fiist month by oar plan that
he worte the secretary and wanted
to Bend and additional $24 to the
fund. We never have less than
$10,000 in oar treasury, and never
nave we failed to contribute liber,
ally to every publio enterprise, such
as street fairs, conventions and all
forms of charity. We allow oar
members to advertise in any legiti
mate newspaper, in the city direc
tory and to comtribu'e to the Prov
ident Association, but we fine them
if we catch them advertising in the
illegitimate forms. i
Care of the Teeth.
An authority on the subject says
Far too much reliance is placed
upon the toothbrush in cleansing
the teeth. In those cises where the
gums have receded it is impossible
to cleanse the teeth thoroughly with
the brash, for after brushing the
teeth if one takes a toothpick and
passes it between them, it will be
found that many particles remain,
The toothpick is of great value
in cleansing the teeth, and the hard
orange wood variety b the best, for
a toothpick Bhould never be used a
Becond time. A tooothpick will re
move the particle of food and the
soft tartar batter thn dental floss.
After cleansing the teeth with
the brash ana whatever dentifrice
is used, pass the pointed end of the
toothpick between the teeth ; then
wind a wisp of cotton on the other
end, dip it in the saturated eolation of
boric acid and wipe around the
gams and between the teeth front
and back ; afterward rinse the teeth
thoroughly with tbe solution.
Do this after ' each meal and the
tartar will not collect, the gams
will harden and a, veil nigh perfect
cleanliness will be obtained.
A Star correspondent of the
Montgomenan says:
E. G. Seagrove and a number
of others have been surveying
for the last few days on our col
leee DroDerty Drerjanncr to com
mence work on the buildings in
a very short while. Machinery
is now ready to commence mak
ing the brick and will be put in
full operation in a few days.

How Can They Reach Us ?
The tide of wealth that is con
stantly flowing from the North, the
west and .East into North Carolina
passes by those c unties that are in
accessible on account of bad coun.
try roads. The new comers do not
core so much for railroads. They
are looking for the macadam and
sand-clay turnpikes on which they
can run their automobiles. Around
Asheville and other sections of
Western North Carolina rich men
are building hundreds of summer
and winter homes. Not one has
been erected away from a good road.
Do we want oar share of this influx
of good people, with their wealth,
their refinement, their culture, their
prosperity ? We mast, then, bid for
it by making a navigable path to
oar doors. No visitors will come
through the mad, or over the rocks
and tne pine spikes in the roads.

Why Cowptas Fail.
According to a writer in the Pro.
gret:8ive Faimer cowpeas cf late
years often d.e out, und the farmer ,
is forced to buy at fancy prices, .
There are d.ffrrent teasons given for
this in tbe article. .
In some parts of the South the
peas are affected by the wilt disease,
and the only variety that seems to
resist this is the Iron pea. , Then,
too, in some places the boiI is in.
fected with microscope worms called
nematedes, which cause swollen
places on the roots aud destroy the
plants.
"Bat where peas fail without dis
ease it is evident that the trouble is
with the soil. Furmers fail, as a
rule, to realize that while peas will
get their nitrogen from the air, they
are greedy consumers of the phos
phoric acid and potash in the "Oil,
and these may become so deficient
that the peas can no longer thrive.
"The method of cultivation in
many parts of the South has result
ed in aciuity in the soil, and the
bactoria that enable legumes to get
and fix the nitrogen trcm the air
cannot thrive in acid condition! in
the soil. Those that live on the
cowpeas do. seem to bo'able to thrive
in condition too acid for other
legume crops. But even the pea
will finally refuse to thrive in acid
conditions. Now here the plants
seem to thrive, they fail to make
seed. This evidently is the result
of a deficiency of the phosphoric
acid and potash which are mainly
concerned in the formation of the
seed. The remedy for these troubles'
aside from any actual disease, is to
practice a good rotation of crops and v
supply phosphoric and potisn lib-"
erally, with a liming ouce in six .
years to maintain the alkalinity of
the soil.
"Evidently when the pea crop
thrives and yet fails to make peas,
there is a deficiency in the soil and
the remedy is to restore the plant
food that is deficient, and this defi
ciency will generally be found to be
in phosphoric acid and potash, and
when these are supplied and the
soil sweetened by lime there will be i
no each .failure. Where a man has)
been for a generation planting peas
among his corn aud gathering the
seed he has certainly been robbing
the soil of mineral matter and need
not be surprised that the soil no
longer gives him peas to gather. :
The best practice would be to grow
a special seed plot, planting in rows
and cultivating and giving a liberal
dressing of phosphoric acid and pot
ash, and the general crop sown after
small grain should all be torn into 1
hay and fed to cattle on the farm. r
Secret of the American Woman's
Charm.
''Foreigners are impressed by the
peculiar attractiveness of American
women, writes Grace M. Gould in
the August Woman s Companion.
"They say that next to their own
women, it is the American woman
who charms tbe most.
'Now, why is this so ? '
"It is because of the infinite va
riety of the American woman, which
pleases the eye and holds the imag
ination. When any large number
of women are under observation, at- '
tractiveness mast imply constant
change, for human nature soon j
wearies of what is monotonous. If 1
the first, last and every woman that J
the foreigner saw all looked and r
dressed alike, the first might well i v : n
the last for any interest he might :-i i
feel in them.
'His experience is this : he meets v
the tall and stately wife of his club
friend, whose poiae andjfelegance are
conspicuous characteristics; next,
he takes into dinner a fluffy, confid
ing young creature without any
poise ac all. Later, perhaps, he
meets a 'blue stocking' girl, who
looks at him critically through her
lorgnette ; and from her he tarns
to a demure, mouse-like maiden.
whose infrequent gaze is souful, and
who says little, bat who says it so
intensely ! The flirtations girl and
the athletic girl oome in tneir torn.
and he finds it all exhausting and
bewuaering. . . ,
"xet be rem.mbers distinctly i
each one of those American types, ' !
Decause each one, by her dress and . , I
her manner, has emphasized her, -f i
own' identity." t
