Coroner Investigating Death.

Indianapolis, Ind., March 19. Coroner Durham is investigating the death of George Groves, 73 years old, a veteran soldier, who died at the ‘city hospital Saturday night. Groves was found unconscious in his room at 465 West Court street, aud it was thought he had attempted to take his own life by swallow-

ing poison. Yesterday however, Coroner Durham found that Groves had been driking heavily and his death probably was due to acute alcoholism. He leaves a widow living at Francesville, Ind. She has been notified of the death.

RUTTER WILL RECOVER

Traveling Salesman, Who Attempted Suicide at Lafayette, Is Improving. Lafayette, Ind., March 20. —“To the people of Lafayette: This is my last., When this is found 1 will be dead. Give my body to some medical college. I want nothing said over it, no tears nor flowers either.’’. This was the contents of a note found in the room of William D. Rutter, a traveling salesman, at the St. Nicholas hotel yesterday a short after he was found writhing in convulsions on his bed, having taken a quantity of strychnine. It had been supposed that Rutter took the deadly drug accidentally, mistaking it for qulnnine. The note, however, showed that he contemplated suicide. Rutter was still conscious when found and said he had purchased the strychnine to kill a dog. He was hurried to 4 hospital. Last night he rallied, regained consciousness, and it is believed he will recover. Rutter formerly was a well-to-do farmer, living in Benton county. He left three sealed letters. One was addressed to Mrs. H. E. Rutter, Pine Village, Ind., and two to his son, John P. Rutter of Altus, Okla. Rutter and his wife have been separated for a number of years.

ADVERTISING THAT GIVES BEST RESULTS

By William C. Freeman.

K. S. Fenwick Recently made a very interesting talk before Canadian business men on, the subject of advertising, in which he said: • There are two methods of advertising in common today. The first might be described as “business building,” and the second as “business stimulating.” The first Is used persistently, systematically, intelligently, for the purpose of making more sales, day by day and month by month, than were made In the corresponding period of the previous year. The second is used for the purpose of making the sales take a sudden jump, when it is found that business is dull, when it is desired to raise money, or when any one of a hundred other conditions may arise. The first, used alone, results in permanent gain and continuous growth, when .intelligently applied—the second, used alone, even when accomplishing the desired result, inleaves the business in a weakened condition, from which it takes time to recover. We all like to see quick results—that is natural. We are Inclined to .consider the Immediate benefit as more important than the ultimate profit, on the principle that "a bird in the hand Is worth two in the bush.” But It should be rem.embered that continuous advertising has a cumulative influence worth more than the sum of its immediate, traceable returns. The cumulative effect of continuous advertising is to biaild up public confidence and to sell goods through the influence of repeated suggestions. The constant dropping of water on a stone will wear it away in one spot —the constant contact with the advertisements of any business will make an ever increasing impression on the public mind. Stop the dropping and the Stone will soon wear smooth—stop the advertising, and the impression will soon be crowded out and replaced by other Impressions. The trouble with special effort In advertising is that the desire to stimulate business creates a condition that makes the merchant sometimes very well contented With the results of advertising, but more often It makes him feel as though advertising has lost its power. The steady, long pull—always at It always giving good value —always making good one’s promises—always being painstaking in the matter of service is the kind of advertising that in the long rqn gives permanency and reputation and profit to a business. Spend what you can afford, but spread the amount over a persistent course of advertising. Whatever you do, don’t be spasmodic.

Whatever an advertiser should do, he should be fair and honest. I think one of the most important factors involved in good advertising Is truth—good, clear, concise facts. It can be taken as a standard rule that anyone that advertises things untrue is not deriving full benefit from his advertising. He may stimulate tra d prosper for awhile, but it <. last.

WHY THE ADS DIDN’T PAY

Experience of a Southern City in Try- • Ing to Attract People—FollowUp Work Necessary. One southern city wisely contracted for several hundred dollars’ worth of advertising space in a leading Chicago publication during the period of the recent land show. Before the land show had closed returns came freely in the form of many letters of inquiry from various parts of the country. They “looked good.’’ and doubtless represented a goodly percentage of hopeful possibilities. But no one knows and probably no one. will ever know, because the local commercial body has no equipment for handling the situation. They have no printed matter to send to the correspondents. They have no plan for classifying, grouping and referring the several communications to any one who might helpfully respond and deal with them. They have no exact data to submit in reply to specific inquiries. ( They have not even some one in the office who is making even a formal or “form” reply or at least acknowledgment. They have no plan, no policy, no program, no machinery, no method, no printed matter, no data, “no nothing!” Is it not awful! Awful!! Awful!!! And of course “advertising does not Pay.”

POULTRY

ORIGIN OF INDIAN RUNNERS

—r Came From West Indies and Are Thought by Many People to Be Most Profitable of Duck Family.

(By ANNA GALLIGHER, Ohio.)

It is only comparatively a few years since the Indian Runner ducks made their appearance* in America. They came originally from the - West Ihdies, where they have been raised for years, chiefly as egg-producers. They derive their name from their native land and racy, upright carriage. In color they are fawn and white, with yellow shanks and light-grien bill; the latter being sometimes splashed with black. » The body is long and narrow and is carried in an almost upright position. Neck is long and thin, with finely formed head. The Indian Runner is rather small, fully matured ducks weighing from, four to five pounds. Drakes from five' to six pounds, live weight. But they grow very rapidly while young and are easy to raise. What they lack in weight is more than made up for in their other good qualities. To begin with, they are very prolific layers; beginning when about, six months old. Their eggs are pure white and a little larger than those of a Plymouth Rock hen. They are superior in quality to any

Indian Runner Drake and Duck.

duck’s eggs that we have ever eaten, .and as a rule, they bring higher prices in the market The ducklings reach a marketable size when about twelve weeks old. When forced, they will weigh four to five pounds at two months. The meat of the Runner is of superior quality; fine in the grain, juicy, and excellent flavor. Hotels and restaurants pay fancy prices for ducklings. The eggs are in good demand, also. In winter when eggs are high the In.dian Runner is “on the job.” Any enterprising person can work up a trade among hotels and restaurants that should prove highly profitable. There is no great-danger of strong competition, as comparatively few poultry raisers have taken up this branch of the industry, notwithstanding the fact that nearly all kinds of poultry products are bringing un-heard-of prices in the open market. In summer the Indian Runner when given free range will find the greater part of his living in the fields. But of course when being fattened fqr market, they need some grain, it would be well to say right here that for best results the grain should be either ground or cooked.

PROVIDING GRIT IN WINTER

Hens Should Be Allowed to Take as Much as They Require—Don’t Feed It In Their Mash.

(By W. F. PARRISH.)

When winter comes and the ground freezes, or is covered with snow a good deal of the time, grit must be supplied. Gravel or grit should be sharp, so as to both cut and grind. Smooth pieces of gravel will not answer the purpose. Gravel dug from a pit will make one of the best grits. When pounded into small pieces, broken crockery will make excellent grit, also. A little sand mixed with the other grit is helpful, but It will not answer for exclusive use, not being sharp nor coarse enough. If you prefer, you can buy prepared grit from the dealers in poultry supplies. A good many people do this and a good many other people buy oyster shells with the belief that they are obtaining grit. The hens need some of the oyster shells, as they supply the system with lime and carbonates, but they will not take the place of grit They are too soft, and digest rather than grind. Keep well filled grit boxes where the hens can run to them at will during the winter months and you will find that they consume quite alot.of the material in a month’s time. Providing the grit in boxes and allowing the hens to help themselves is the best way of feeding it. They will then use Rs much as is necessary for their health, as they are the best judges of this matter and consequently will not consume more than they require. If we always knew ha>w much would be needed for the health of the birds, It would, be all right to mix the grit with the feed. But since we do not know this, we would best not'force grit upon them as we would be doing if we mixed it with the feed.

Michigan Lands.

SPECIAL PULLMAN JCAR EXCURSIONS TO THE SWIGART.TRACT. MANY FARMERS from the north and central states are going to Michigan’s most progressive district, where new towns are rapidly growing up and a thriving community is beina established. This district is in Mason, Manistee and Lake* counties, in a large ‘ tract of land unusually well located. It is known as the Swigart Tract and men fatniliar with conditions in Michigan recognize that in this district an agricultural development is going on that is more rapid than has ever been seen in the

SPECIAL ADVANTAGES that are drawing' to the Swigart Tract more settlers than to any other part of the Wolverine State are: That the tract lies in the center of Michigan’s Famous Fruit Belt and is especially adapted for fruit growing, the lands being just near enough to derive the greatest/benefit from Lake Michigan’s influence; mild, even climate; local markets, including Ludington and Manistee with over 30,000 combined population, on the edge of the tract; surroundings of a well settled country; /our lines of railroads; products delivered by steamships to Chicago and Milwaukee over night; schools and churches throughout the tract; home conditions ideal; one thousand 40acre pieces to select from. THE SWIGART TRACT is the place for the renter to come who no longer wants to pay out the bulk of his earnings in rent where lands ’ are so high priced that they can be bwned by the wealthy alone. It is the place for the man to come who wants to work for himself. Nowhere can one find lands for sale at $lO, to $35 per acre that can be made to so quickly produce a living. DO YOU WANT a productive piece of farm land that will support you in plenty while you build it up into a property becoming constantly more valuable, then buy in the Swigart Tract. There’s where your money will go the farthest. For $lO to SSO down and $5 to $lO per month you can buy 40 acres.
