the same ground half a dozen times before all of them understand it."

The distinguished Samuel Hoar, father of the present senator of Massachusetts, once said to a jury that the case was so perfectly plain that he would not insult their intelligence by arguing it. The jury returned in a few minutes with a verdict against him and when the astonished lawyer asked the foreman how the jury could have returned such a verdict, he received this answer:

"The fact is, Square, we all agreed that if anything could be said for a case Square Hoar could say it, and as you didn't say anything, we concluded to render a verdict ag'in you."

Many of the half-tones used in this issue of AGRICULTURAL ADVERTISING were taken by our own photographers during the International Live Stock Exposition in Chicago last November. The thoroughbred types are the work of the art department of the Long-Critchfield Corporation, to which credit is hereby given.

Farmers' Review

It has a larger paid circulation
than any other farm paper in
Illinois. There is no paper
published that is more carefully
edited. Its readers depend up-
on its teachings and its adver-
tisements. All the wealthy live
stock breeders in Illinois and
the neighboring states are on
our list-and they paid to get
on or they wouldn't be there.

Auctioneers Taught.

A school for auctioneers is the newest venture in the educational line. A dispatch from Davenport, Iowa, says: "Colonel Carri M. Jones, of Davenport. the leading live stock auctioneer of the country, makes the interesting announcement that in association with a number of other prominent auctioneers he will shortly open in Davenport the National School of Auctioneering and Oratory, the only institution of its kind in the country. A hall will be secured that will accommodate 100 students and the school will open July 6. The aim of the school will be to develop ambitious young men into the field of auctioneering, capable of rolling off talk by the yard. There will be courses in oratory, grammar and other branches, and a competent specialist in charge of each department."

When those hundred pupils get to yelling, "Going, going, gone," is is quite likely the other tenants of the building will act upon the suggestion.

Advertising is somewhat like a horse. Both should be worked by an expert and worked steadily if the most is to be got out of them.
