In this capacity he was connected with the Farmers Tribune, Successful Farming, and Twentieth Century Farmer. He purchased the Farmers Tribune three years ago, moving it from Des Moines to Sioux City, Iowa, and from there he came last spring to take charge of the Fisher Special Agency in the Chicago field. While Mr. Stilwill believes in systematically covering the field by visiting advertisers, personally and through his co-workers, thus keeping in close touch with them, he is a thorough believer in good agencies, and co-operates with them in stimulating and creating business for the papers he represents. His work along all lines is intelligent and productive of the best results. Mr. Stilwill has only words of praise for Mr. Fisher, who has been associated with him in the Western field. On account of the growing business of the Fisher Special Agency in the East, Mr. Fisher has joined its New York working force.

The Fast Growing Southwest Interesting Facts About the Territory Covered by the Kansas City Journal Do you know that it was an Oklahoma banker who surprised eastern financiers a few months ago by purchasing $3,000,000 of Philippine securities, outbidding Wall Street in securing the plum? Do you know that unless it be one of the Scandinavian countries there is no section on earth that has so large a percentage of home owners as Oklahoma? Do you know that Oklahoma is so large that it could cover up Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey and half of Connecticut? Do you know that every acre is yielding a bountiful harvest and the cereals alone reached 69,080,239 bushels the past year? Do you know that so marked is the inten gence of the 715,000 people in Oklahoma that only 51⁄2 per cent is illiterate? Do you know that the first measures for the admission of Oklahoma to statehood were introduced by the founder of the Kansas City Journal while a member of the Thirty-ninth Congress, and that his paper championed that cause until it won? Do you know that the Journal is read by M. L. Turner, the banker who bought the Philippian securities and by everyone else who is responsible for the upbuilding of the southwest? The Journal's territory as a whole embraces the richest agricultural country on earth. A few facts will illustrate this. For instance: If the wheat produced in that territory in a single year were put in a sack it would be three hundred times greater in bulk than the Park Row Building, New York, the largest office building in the world. Or if it were put in sacks the size of that builing, it would cover a distance of six miles. Immense as it is, the annual wheat crop in that territory is less than one-sixth of the bulk of the corn, a third that of the oats, and less than half that of the cotton. The fruit and vegetables produced in the Kansas City Journal's territory in a single year weigh as much as Uncle Sam's big family-the people of the United States, Alaska, the Philippines, Porto Rico, Hawaii, Guam, and American Samoa, 90,000,000 in all.
