point of tf. The Ana raia of the
preceding week vara followed by far

hara been xoore abandaBt in some
tee t ions than in years, tbs pound
having -received soeh a thorough soak
ing that there will be reserve of
moisture io resist the effects of any
drought that may be experienced dur
ing the summer. While the rains de
layed field work temporarily, clear
weather during the latter part of the
week has enabled farmers to vigorous
ly prosecute the work of preparing
the Helds and planting. Temperature
have heen rather too low for the best
interest of cotton already up, but it
has not been cold enough where the
crop lias already apeaied above the
ground to do anv damage. Encourag
ed by ihe high prices that have pre
vailed for cotton during the past sea
son, farmers are anxious to plant a
arge acreage, and the recent abund
ant rains have helped thai intention.
1 he purchase of fertilizers, mules and
farm implements have been on quite
laisre scale, indicating plainlv the
pniK)se of farmers to increase acre-
e. Whether thev will be able to
carrv their intention into effect will
lppend largely iiHn the weaiher dur
ing ihe spring, but it nuisi be admit
ted thai rondilioiis so far Jaave t'avor-
I crop plants.
While there is no dotibi of the pnr-
ise ol producers to increase cotton
acreage, there is an equally pronounc
ed purpose ;i cultivate an increased
acreage of corn. The weather has
been rather too cud for the corn al
ready planted and up. but there is
still ample lime, and farmers are
making most of the prevailing favor
able weather.
The eyes of the cut in Middle West
are on the Caroliuas as never before
since the davs of the Civil War. The
people in the Slates bordering on t he
Mississippi are largely resiless and
seeking homes where they can secure
more land and make an honest living
on the farm. These ates bordering
- on toe Sottth Atlantic are coming int.
their own. Here cotton corn, wheat
'less expense and more the climate is
'much more azreeble. The" oroblem '

wmcn laces tnenoutn Atlantic Mates
i that of reaching the restless home
seekers of the middle West. The "only
difficulty facing the Southern farmer
is the problem of knowledge. This
''difficulty is being rapidly overcome
and the Southern farmer is learning
that with the proper fertilization and
preparation their farms will become
in reality ihe garden spots of the
world.
By the results of the municipal elec
tions last Tuesday throughout the
Country the Democratic wave, which
wept over the nation last fall, seems
not to have receded.
Advertising Will Sell Anything.

r. I believe that today there is no
product ;of eral merit .thai cannot in
- some way be profitably advertised. I
have no hesitation in stating my be
lief that if the United States Steel
t Corporation had spent a million dol
lars a year in advertising in news
papers, showing people who Jiave as
. yet never thought of using them the
- possibility of the profitable use of
many of heir products, their sales
; : would have been increased to a point
; where it would not have been neces
sary to eut off the dividends on the
, stoek. I. believe the day is coming

Vwill-iearri that advertising is a science

, possibilities in the use of newspaper
advertising of which as. yet they
lava never dreamed. ' So I might' go

within reach of intelligent industry,
sincerity and persisience. Mr. Car

The Regal Shoe CoAnnouncco a Ncv ; -
Pioliqr That Will Stake Up the SIico-Trcrls' v
Regal Prices Are Now $3 to $5
Here is a letter from the Regal Shoe Company that .will begin a new era in
the shoe business. It will be an earthquake for the shoe, trade, but! like other
Regal innovations, a benefit to the public, in which purchasers of Regal Shoes will '
first share. No concern having a plant and organization less powerful than the -Regal
Company's could dare to so defy trade custom. But-" : v
It Means Greater Variety and Greater Value1 in Regal rSk Jnah Even
To Regal Agtntt and Regal Customer Everywhere t
Boston, February 1st, 1911.
The retail price of every shoe hereafter produced in our factories will be the manufacturing cost
of that shoe, plus five per cent, commission and the cost of selling. - ,
Except that we shall not "split" nickels, every price will be fixed exactly at h thus figures, regardless
of whether it comes out in odd or even money. Thus, if the cost of any model, plus 5, is $3.85;
the price of that model will be $3.85 not $4.00, or any other figure. And ikit price will bt tritit4
and certified by chartered public accountants and stamped m tke that el Ike (actory.
This smashes the immemorial shoe-trade policy of building all high-grade shoes to fit certain arbitrary
prices.. The trade will, undoubtedly, rise in protest' against our action, and CsH as ''price-cutters."
But hke Regal innovations in the past, it will benefit Regal customers.' In fact of that fact we can
disregard this protest as we have others.
This is NOT t price cut, although the result will be to give Regal Shoe buyers better value for
price than ever before. Regal Shoes have always been priced at S above cost- of manufacture -and
telling. Bat, according to universal custom, the prices were fixed BEFOREHAND at $3.50,
$4.00, $4.50, etc and the shoes were built AFTERWARD to fit those prices. -
Hereafter we shall regard the shoe as FIRST in importance and let the price fall where it WuV
Regal customers will therefore profit by numberless small savings represented in the new Regal plan,
And in designing Regal Shoes we shall no longer be obliged to keep one eye on the shoe and the other 1
on a fixed, arbitrary price at which it must be sold. We shall now keep both eyes ON THE .SHOE,
to the improvement Dgta i style ana ol value. ,,

If a designer produced a new shoe which .could
properly be sold at, say, $4.30, the manufacturer had .
either to take something out of it to bring the
price to $4.00 or to add extra arid unnecessary ,
expense merely to shove the price up to $4.50.
Thus you can see that under the fixed-price system
the customer often had to buy and my' for mor r:
than was actually necessary. True, the difference
was seldom large 20 to 30 cents at most and true,
too, that in Regal Shoes the full money's worth
was always given., But, what the customer wanted '
