HOW THEY ARE "DOING IT"
This is an Intensive age Intensive in a sense means thoroughness
inis is an intensive age. intensive In a sense means thoioughness.
intensive farming means getting all there is out of the land and harvesting
the entire crop. Pork packers use intensive methods. They save all the
hog except the squeal and they cut that s ort.
Commercial organizations In som, of the cities are putting on intensive
campaigns of one kind and another. Some of them are after new members,
Some of them, having already done that important work thoroughly, are in-,
tensive in the exercise of that membership, promoting one thing after anoth
er for the common good. Live commercial organizations, these days are '
intenslvely at work. If they are not Intensive in their methods; if they are
not everlastingly at It;; If they are not doing something all the time; if they
are not busy. Just as busy as they can be, they are not keeping abreast
of the times. They are not doing as the best of commercial bodies do.
They are more like the country merchant, who started in the country and
tbe city built up around him and who has prospered lu spite of himself, and
who never has, and never will be able to appreciate what he has lost by
not keeping up with the city and adapting himaelf to city ways. He never
has advertised; he never will advertise; he will die and go to a quiet little
heaven somewhere specially prepared for country folks who do not want
to change their ways.
The World's Work magazine has recently given an account of what a
"Business Men's Association" did for Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. The ar
tide says:

"For years this association drifted along-as many other such
bodieB do—all of the work done by the secretary and a few devoted
members. But early laat year the association parceled out Its
duties to Beven "divisions;" (1) of manufacturers and finance: 2
of good roads: (3) of trade extension; (4) of city government; (6)
of civic art; (6) of commercial travelers and publicity; and (7) of
membershj],, Every division was made up of a chairman and five
or »even members.
"The Division of Manufacture, s and Finance set about bringing
new industries to Fond du Lac. There was a conspicuous empty
building that had formerly been occupied by a shoe factory,
company that manufactures typewriters was put into this building.
"The Division of Good Roads invited D. Ward King to come ,to
Fond du Lac and lecture on good roads and the King road drag,
and later a King Road Drag Congress was held, to which the town
chairman and the road supervisors of every township in Fond du
Lac county were invited. A local manufacturing concern began to
manufacture the road drags and gave 10 of them to the Good Roads
Division, which In turn gave them and more to the township road
supervisors,
"The Division of Trade Extension set to work to get the trade of
the territory reached by the improved roads. One thing it has done
is to provide a rest room in the business center where country peo
ple can m&et; where they may check their parcels, read books, mag
azines ahd hewspapers, write letters and have their purchases de
livered.
"The Civic Art Division raised funds and bought 60 ornamental
lighting standards, which were put up 100 feet apart in the busi
ness streets.
"The Division of Commercial Travelers arranged with the sev
eral hundred men traveling out of Fond du Lac to report the names
of concerns in other towns that might be considering a change of
location. Efforts are made to Interest such concerns in Fond du
Lac.

We shake hands with ourselves over what bas been accomplished in
thirty years. And it is great. But thirty years is an average lifetime;
and who wants to wait a lifetime for something to be done that may be
done in a third of that time. The pendulum of progress and enterprise and
growth has swung this way and its momentum is increasing,
this section and this city will get some of it. But if we wish to get our
part, our full share, or anything approximating our full Bbare, we must have
thorough organization and more intensive effort.

Once upon a time Theodore Roosevelt was a member of tbe Republican
Club of New York. And tbe Club was so proud of his membership that they
had a bronze bust made of him. But recently, since the Chicago conven
tion, tbe majority of the Club became so offensive to Mr. Roosevelt that he
resigned his membership. His bust, however, still remains, and la causing
"some remarks" in the Club. Teddy la auch a terrible buster, tbat be haa

LAWYERS
By GEORGE FITCH, Author of "At Good. Old Si wash"
A lawyer is a passenger to prosper
ity on the wheels of justice and he
usually rides alone. He is the only
man who can examine a law and tell
what it means without making a
chemical analysis. This is because'The
all of our laws are made by lawyers. !
A lawyer gets $7,500 a year and mile
age for making laws and $50,000 a
year for telling what he meant when
he wrote them. And if he is a partie- j
ularly fine lawyer he can afterward j
earn $200,000 a year by demonstrating j
to the supreme court that they are
no good anyway.
It is a lawyer's business to protect
mankind against villains, reformers,
justice, injustice and other lawyers,
For this he receives a retaining fee
which is a sort of flnancIal tie rope to ;
keep him from going over to the other ,
After the case Is over he re-1 a
side,
reives another fee.
This ls not fixed j
hy lnw, but is rarely more than the 1
client should be able to pay In a llfe
time if he practices economy and does
not go to law again,
Lawyers are very wise and use hun- '
dreds of heavy imported words which

j
How to Apply Poison.
The quickest method of applying the
j poison is to dust it through sacks at
-
t the ends of a pole
, ,
| " l,K ' h 1 e polson ls poured In filling
the sacks. These holes are closed with !
stoppers when the bags are filled to
prevent the poison from being wasted.
Several kinds of cloth have been used
for these bags; two or three thickness
es of. cheese cloth makes a very sat
isfactory bag, "8 oz Oznaburg" ls
sometimes used, old flour bags will j
probably do very well. The amount of
poison that Is used will depend upon
the tightness of the cloth and the
force with which the pole Is Jarred. ,
Care should be taken not to apply
too much per acre. One man ought
to poison at least ten acres a day, i
we have reports of thirty acres a day
being poisoned per man.
What to Do Now.
Be sure that enough poles and sacks
are rea dy for Immediate use. Be sure j
11hat you have enough poison on hand I
to go over your entire crop. That is j
for each acre of cotton you should'
have one pound of Paris green or three
pounds of arsenate of lead. If you
are to use Paris green he sure that
you have plenty of flour or lime on
hand to mix with it. Make definite
arrangements to get a fresh supply of
poison. Order a new supply as soon
as you find that it is necessary to use
the poison that ls on hand. Keep on
the constant lookout for the worms.
Do not poison until the worms appear
and then no time should be loBt In
applying lt. If rains wash the poison
off fresh applications should be made,
Local dealers should have large sup
plies of the poison
supply the needs of customers. The
greatest loss from this pest last year
on hand so as to
the ordinary man could not even lift.
Law books are written in large per
Bible was originally published in
this manner, but was translated later
and this is what will happen to the j
law book som day. When this hap- ;
cheron words which prevent common
people from meddling with them and *
reading what doesn't concern them,
pens lawyers will no longer be able j
to stun a trembling client with a cer-1
tlorari, mandamus, res adjudicata and
other Jagged verbal Junk and the su
preme court will have time to go fish
Ing twice a week.
Some lawyers are very honest and
will not lie except to a Jury. Others
are not so particular. It is easy to
tell whether a lawyer is honest or not
by the size of his fee. If he leaves
the client anything after he has won
a judgement from him he ls either !
honest or so -careless that he Is a re
proach to his profession.
