KNOWN LABEL MOVED GOODS
Care From Texas That Demonstrates
the Value of Advertising—People
Must Be Educated.
As an instance that people will not
buy goods, that are not advertised, the
Houston (Texas) Post has the follow
ing article based upon facts that Is
well worth our readers’ attention.
'They can ponder over it at their leis
ure. The Post says:
“Apropos of the editorial on this page
and the statement that people are
prone, , when buying, if it occurs to
them to ask where an article is manu
factured, they are more than apt to
buy the article that is wrapped in the
fancy wrapper, a case in point forces
itself to the front.
"In a city not far distant from Hous
ton, in the heart of an agricultural
community, there has beep much agi
tation for a canning factory. It
seemed that everybody in the com
munity wanted the canning factory.
There % were tomatoes galore that
could be used—which dining a cer
tain period of the year were not mar
ketable—and the people believed that
a canning factory would work this
product up and create a market for it.
"An enterprising gentleman in
stalled the canning factory. There
was much hurrah, and he was lauded
to the skies as n benefactor. He
bought up many tons of tomatoes, for
which there was no market at the
time, and canned them.
"He then went to the locat mer
chants and endeavored to sell them. .
"’The people will not-buy them!’
That was the uniform answer of the
merchants to ’his overtures. It was
quite a shock to the man who had put
his good money into the enterprise
and who had spent more gpod money
for the products of the section and
more good money for the labor and
the cans.
" ‘Oh, yes they will,’ was his em
phatic answer. ’You people need a
little enterprise. .Just to show you
that the people will buy these goods
I will place them on your shelves and
you ntay pay me when you clean
them out.’
‘The goods were placed ,-s the
shelves of the several merchants
There they remained, finally the
ewner of the eanaing plant in despair
wrote te one of the leading canning
cox a eras of the earn* try and t*M of
hie (lifeunity and asked if they 'oeufy
a- way eat elf the
T here was much correspondenci
and as n result the big concer
bought the entire output of the loci
plant.
" ’You just gather up the goodB yo>
have placed in the stores and we wl)
soul you our iRbols. Put them 01
your goods instead of your owi
labels.’
"It was done. The goods wert
placed hack in the Bailie shelves am
thev moved out in a hurry."
Now, there is a lesson In tbis, Jus
because there is a recital of it in thi
Post may cause some to feel tha
the interest is a selfish one. But i
is not. If concerns human nature. 1
concerns every reader of. this story
The. reasou the goods moved whei
the new labels were placed upon ‘.hen
was thnl the label, or the brand, hat
been advertised. Housewives kuev
about it, and when buying canned to
niato«.« they brought what they knev
about. The tomatoes canned at hom<
were Just as good as those ca.inet
elsewhere and the advertiser knew i
and was willing to risk his repuiatioi
on It. They bought the brand tha’
they had been reading about. Then
wns no real fraud practiced on thi
purchasers, for they, were getting
whnt they paid for.
Advertising is the thing. Why kick
at the man who put his labels on an
other's product? It was a good prod
net and he knew It. because he had
Investigated. • He wa3 simply giving
It his Indorsement. His indorsement
was yrorth something. People had
come to know that and to rely upon
it. He was simply reaping upon hi?
investment. He was an advertlsei
and had familiarized* the hottsewive-
with his goods. He had taught them
that his goods were good goods.
It Is not enough lor a man to in
vest his ttfoney in the manufacture o’
a pfoduct, no matter how good the
product ptay be. He must tell thi
people about It., else they will not
know that he or his product exlBt. Hr

If he has something good the great

it. TJjere are lots of things on thr
marker that are not good, but which
people buy because thev do not know

NATURE TEACHES THE RABBIT
Instinct Alone, Not Their Parents,
Tells Thom How and What
, to Eat,
In popular “nature literature” it is
often stated that wild animals 1 ‘go tc.
school;" that the wood mothers teacl
their young both manners pud liioral.
that lead to the saving oC. their lives
by grace of their legs. A writer, how
ever, who lias had a, pair of rabbit
under constant observation, havini
taken them from their mother whei
lhey e were but a day old, declares the
nature, in the guise of instinct, wa
the only teacher they had or needed
The baby rabbit; got along ex?r
lently. They soon he gen to crawl wal
blingly out of their nest and nibble a
oats and tp chew up whole blades c
tender grass.
Of several things I am positive. The;
never saw their mother “freeze,” nr.
wash her face, nor sit up on her bin
legs; nor could they have learnei
from her what is good to eat an-
what is poisonous.
A3 scon as they were strong enougi
to balance thenjselves, ’ I saw thei
often sitting erect and ^snuffing th
air. About the same time they wer
observed busily to wash their face
with their fore paws. Some tried t<
do it and fell oferj unable' to balano,
themselves. No* experience was r<
quired for them to practice the art c
washing.
I tried to feed the rabbits with con-
raon vegetable poison. By giving the:
a very small handful of grass wit
several sprigs of nightshade intei
mixed, I was able to note theft 1 pre:
arences. This experience was ofte*
repeated. In no case did I see ther.
eat Rny nightshade. Evidently the.
possessed protective instincts whic
guarded them without a mother’
teaching.—Country. Life ’rice

HE WAS hArtnr SHOPPER
lerks In Atchison Store Wero Awn
Stricken by Skill of the Woman
Customer.
Early this morning a thin, well-
tressed woman walked rapidly Into ant
Vtchlson dry goods store where a big
ale was going on. She stopped at tho
Irst counter sho came to and began
’ausncklng It. The woman at tho
winter fell back and it clerk hurrtodi
'orward and respectfully looked on.
The woman's hands handled the goods'
jn that counter with the practiced!
■tklll of a surgeon when he Is perform-
ng an operation; she did not miss on©
piece of goods, and then with a hardt
glitter In her eyes and setting hen
hlu lips more closely together sho
larted to another counter, plunging,
lead first Into the material plied two’
>r three feet high. The other womenl
it the counter looked at her deferen
tially, and the clerks gazed fascinated.
Prom counter to counter the woman 1
vent, without glancing to the right or
o the left. She examined every yard
if goods, every ready-to-wear gar-
nent. every pl<*te of embroidery, lace,
etc.
Then, with the swiftness of an ar
row, she shot Into the basement of the
'tore, and from a damaged egg beater
to bolts of cloth her hands tlew over
everything in that basement. Every-
where the woman encountered awe
stricken glances from the other wo
men and the clerks. At last the town
Mock began striking 6 p. m. Clerka
-emoved their aprons and covers wero
placed over the goods preparatory to
closing the store for the night, and,
that Email, thin woman, with a tri
umphant gleam In her eyes and a grim
smile on her lips, carrying a bundle
about as large as a walnut, walked)
out of the store, and every clerk there
and every woman knew they had seen
a magnificent “shopper" In full opera

Shaping the Pony.
The formation of breeds of ponies
In different parts of the world Is ono
of the most Interesting things In con
nection with horses, for, unlike tho
diminutive breeds in other kinds o{
domestic creatures — as bantams,
among fowls, or the smaller varieties
among dogs—which Iwvve been bred
down below- the normal size by the-
skill of man, the diminution whlcU
has resulted in any of the breeds of
really small ponies has been wholly
_ the work of nature. The horse only
attained the size that we are accus
tomed to consider as normal ,in ,the
temperate zone and if taken to a very
cold or very hot epuntry he will in-
- -eritirbly-'deterlorate in- aizp.» He dooB
not deteriorate, however, In other re
spects; Indeed, the pony of whatever
tyjie Is much more thoroughly a
horse, as regards the highest equine
qualities and characteristics, than
horses like those of the drart breeds,
which greatly- exceed in size the nor
mal aiid original type.—Outing Mag

Embellish the :School Grounds.
Cities maintain \vell-Uept parks and
boulevards: private citizens plant gar
dens that are a dellg’.n to those who
have access to tliein; but what of the
children who live ! n tlie tenements,
alleys or even on g.ood streets? They
are not. in touch with the. beautfful
things the rich cnii provide for them
selves or the city, maintains for those
who nan go Snd enjoy them. The
school must be tlie .radiating center
for civic improvenuHit. It is.not enough,
to point the way, it is necessary to
show tho way.
DODGING THE PRYING PRESS
How the President and Cabinet Fool
the Newspaper Correspondents
in Washington,
When tho cabinet holds a meeting
me of the things that causes invari-
ibl# concern’ is, “What shall we tell
he correspondents?”
The president has made it well un-
lerstood that the less said about
hese conferences the better; but
here is always a group of newspaper
nen at the door of the White Houso
ifiices waiting for members of tho
abinet to appear after their session,
t has come to be something qf a
oke with the men who help the pres-
dent decide great questions of public
>o:icy that when the usual question is
isked at the close of the cabinet
neetlr.gs the chief; executive turns to
he secretary of agriculture and says:
“Supose you see the newspaper
nen, Wilson; we didn’t discuss aqy-
.hing in your department.”
It is a point of honor, a sort of un
written law, that no member of tha
’.abinet shall give out Information
’egardtng affairs in other depart-
nents of the government than- his
iwn. While, therefore, the venerable
lecrotary of agriculture presents him-
nelf as a target for the newspaper
men's questions, the other members
o{ the eabiiet quietly and unostenta-
tleusly slip away, and the world,
tears* that' "aet-hlag of Importance
waa discussed” that day by the preeL
