Only six weeks of a campaign born of the hiope of lower pirces to the consumer was needed to prove that the plan would not work. The fault, results show. did not He with the public It lay with the farmers, who prompty took advan- tage of the situation to stick both the profit of the retailer and that of the wholesoler in their pockets with 'out lowering the price to the consum.- or at all. As a mattter of fect they took even greater profit than this, for in the very nature of curb mark ots their expenses ran far lower tha those of wholesale and retail m@r- chants, and this difference, too, weit in 'thefr pockets, Bafore the-city finally abandoned the idea, however, Harry R. LiBeau, city market master, made an investi. gation of the farm market skperi- ences of 8t. Louis, Seattle, Columbus, Detroit and Lancaster. - In each case the experience was virtually the same, A painfully small number of farmers came to the market regulnrly with their produce. So small was this number that ther: existed virtually no competition at all among them, and it was an established custom to ig base their prices the pre schedule of the Talal! stores : 'THE BEST iD WE EVER USED" According to George W. Reese, ad- in" corrects your Saar, | elief awaits youl rn, a, vertising manager of the D. H. Hol mes store, in New Orleans, the best and most profitable Christmas adver- tisement ever used by the Holmes Company was a page devoted emtire-. ly to phonographs, "This page,' sald Mr Reese, '"pull- ed lke a team of army mules, and the reasons as we figure them were these: "The page commanded attention by its dize and established the line which 'we featured for what it fg the high-class product of the largest manufacturers of musicel instru- ments in the world, » "It made 'home selection' easy because it gave all the details of size, finish, price, construction and 'ppearance. "It invited immediate : action by playing up the complete outfit which could be bought at tne fixed price and on the terms named. "It appeared at a time when com- peting instruments--especially those of older and possibly mors strongly established makes--were scarce, a condition which will very bably be repeated this year' Fe The page bore the neadline "Hol- mes Musical News," with a banner Hne below stating "You ean have a (trade name), in your home this Christmas." Then followed an ox- planation of the phonograph situa tion in New Orleans and a detailed description of the points of excellence of the machine in question. At the sides and bottom of this type ap- peared boxes containing illustrations of the various instruments with a clear-cut statement ofthe price of odach and the terms upon which it might be purchased.

THE ALEUTS. A Peculiar Tribe Lives In the Far North. A Peculiar in their way were thirteen mummies found a while ago in a cave on Ragamil Island, which is one of the Aleutian chain. They were wraps ped in skins amd nets; but the re- markable point about them was that the gavern which served them as a burial vault was steam-heated. In coldest winter weather it was kept warm by volcanic fires. Eleven of these thirteen mummies are now in the National Museum at Washington. They are completely desiccated. It is supposed that the ancestors »} of the present-day Aleuts mummified their dead, not for any religious rea- son, as did the Egyptians of old, but because they did not want to part with them. Their method was to wrap their defunct relatives in the skins and intestinal membranes of sea mamals, place them in a squat- ting attitude on wooden trays, and hang them up in dry caves. Many of these mummies that have been found are undoubtedly very an- cient; but of the origin and early his- tory of the Aleuts nothing whatever is known. Some authorities are of opinion that they came from Japan. At the present time they are much mixed, racially speaking, They spoke the Russian language at the time when, in 1867, the Aleu- tian Islands passed with Alaska, inte the possession of the United States. Then, until 1884, they were left to They have new forgotten the Rus- sian tongue, and are becoming Amer- icanized. Most of them live in clean wooden houses and wear continental clothes. The women weave wonder- ful fabrics of grass, so finely plaited as to resemble silk. | For the purpose of keeping"/flies and other insects away from freshly painted surfaces, mix a little bay oil with the oil paint or else place a small amount in an open dish nearby.
