A SIGNAL VICTORY FOR
progressive FARMERS
“There is nothing before the Court.’’
was the decision rendered by Judge
York in the Commissioners’ Court
Monday morning after Commissioner
Jenkins had made one of his eloquent
speeches opposing the employment
of a County Farm Agent and Home
I>emonstrator for Bosque ( ounty, and
the matter stands just as the Tribune
predicted it would.
After Commissioner Jenkins was in-
formed that there was “nothing before
the court,’’ he made a motion to re-
consider the matter of employing the
County Farm Agent and Home Dem-

the man who “knows it all,” but those
who are willing to learn something
will be greatly benefitted. We may
expect those who op|K>se it to tight

who supjiort it to !*• active and make

advance was legitimate, and that, any-
how, the price couldn’t be beaten, as
he was aide to eio business on small

I article, but as a matter of curiosity
he went to another store, whose ad-
vertisements he had noticed at various
times iti the newspapers. And there
he found the very thing on sale-for
twenty cents.
Advertising costs money—but it
sells goods. Do not believe the mer-
chant who argues that he can under-
sell others because Kis sales are small-
er than theirs and his methods of do-
ing business proportionately less ex-
pensive. Common sense should teach
you that the greater number of sales
a dealer makes the cheaper he can af-
ford to sell.
And common sense should also con-
vice you that if advertising doesn’t
increase sales hundreds of thousands
of merchants would have quit it years
ago.
Hussars will .Appear "eti

sar Viand, a Uo-piece orchestra
will accompany the opera com-
pany whose cast includes 80 ac-
tors of known ability.
On the concluding night of
the opera season, with the aid
of a special beauty chorus,
brought from Chicago for the
occasion, the Chicago company
will present a Follies program.
