Some Facts and Figures.
It is with pride that the Dem-
ocrat management directs at-
tention to the degree of success
which the paper has attained in
furthering the objects and aims
of the present owners. In par-
ticular the object of a newspaper
is the dissemination of the news,
but the/e is a mission of equal,
if not greater, importance. It
can and should be an important
factor in the material and busi-
ness development of its 'town
and county. With this object in
view the Democrat has labored
hard to introduce the paper into
the homes of the people of the
trade territory which rightfully
belongs to its hometown. Just
how well it has succeeded in this
effort is best indicated by the
records in the Belton postoffice
in the matter of receipts of news-
papers as second class mail.
^Cpr the week ending March 8th
the total number of pounds en-
I tiered in the postoffice by all
newspapers, both daily and
weekly, published in Belton, and
' sent to parties within this coun-
ty was 262 pounds. Of this
amount according to a postal re-
ceipt held by the management,
the Bell County Democrat en-
tered 165 pounds, which leaves
4 balance to all other daily and
weekly newspapers combined
87 pounds for the entire week,
thus giving the Democrat credit
for 103 pounds more than all
other newspapers published in
Belton together. This particu-
lar week was selected Jr-y reason
of the fact that a Wworn state-
fir
ment regarding the condition of
the Democrat's c irculation from
Mr. Sam E. Weaiausen, foreman,
and manager of the mailing de-
partment, appeared in the issue
of that week, and also to pre-
clude any possible doubt as to
the correctness of this state-
ment. And in this connection it
is well to announce that there
has not been exceeding two
pounds of sample copies of the
Democrat at any one issue with-
, In the last three months.
It has been the endeavor of
the management of the Demo
crat to give the people a clean,
newsy local paper that would be
appreciated in every home and
as to this the public must be
the judge as to how well we
have succeeded. We have an
abiding faith in the business
men of Belton, and with their
co-operation the Democrat ex-
pects to do yet a much greater
work for the commercial inter-
ests of the town. During the
summer months we will under-
take to extend the Democrat's
circulation into territory that
has never been covered by any
Belton newspaper to any great
extent, affording the merchants
an opportunity to show the su-
perior advantages offered by
Belton as a baying and selling
THOUGHTS ON BUSINESS
•Y
WALDO PONDRAY WARREN
SMALL POTATOES
TOO much of a good thing is often worse than not enough.
A llttlo salt Improvsa tha flavor, but too much spoils tha
mast. Economy In buslnasa Is a good thing, but It Is easy
to ovardo It.
I read of a caaa recently whera a systematlxer In tha offlca
Of a grsat Insurancs compsny saved $2,000 s year by cutting
off ona row of drawers from the desks of 102 clerks, so that ha
could gat 160 clerka In tha same amount of floor space, and
thua aava on the rant at tha rate of $2 a foot. The moat re-
markable thing to me la not that men could be eo amall In
their calculations but that the story of this emallness could
be related by a writer In cold blood aa an example of clever
business.
It Is not difficult to Imagine the Inconvenience of tha
clerka In trying to cram all their papers Into half the drawer
apace that naturally goee with a desk, lifting packsge after
package to get a paper underneath, and taking mora time for
everything they do becauee they haven't room to turn around.
H would take a great stretch of Imagination to see where the
economy comee in.
But even If It actually eaved the $2,000, the very act of
adopting such a small-minded suggestion would tend to
dwarf the mentality of the men who adopted It. Any way you
take It, such methods are non-economic, and are unworthy
Bf the conaidaratlon of the broad-minded business man.

It is hoped that this advertise-
ment will not be considered as
bragadocia, as the only purpose
intended is to show the effort^
being made by the Democrat and
what degree of success it has
attained.
The Fanner Who Thinks.
How many farmers who read
this paper can tell off hand how
much it costs him to raise an acre
of corn? He knows in a general
way what his seed cost, knows
how much he paid for labor, the
time it took to do the plowing,
cutting or gathering, but perhaps
not one in a thousand calculated
so closely as to be able to tell to
a nicety the exact expense of the
crop by the acre. Yet for really
successful, up-to-date, scientific
farming, it is necessary to know
the items of cost in the produc-
tion of e^ery crop. As in every
other business, an accurate
knowledge of such cost is essen-
tial to economic production.
Talk to a manufacturer and you
will find that he cau tell you
every cent entering into his prod-
uct, from the purchase of raw
material, through its various
stages until it reaches the con-
sumer. Consult a lumberman
and yoiy will be surprised
how clotiely he keeps in touch
with his expenditure. He is able
to tell to a penny the cost of the
timber, the labor and freight
rates; what it cost him to haul
and skin the logs, to put them
over the saw, to stack and load
the lumber, to deliver it to the
market, and what per cent, of
culls had to be reckoned upon.
This method is the key to success
and it is safe to say that no man
has risen high in the industria
world who has not pursued it
It is not always the man who
knows the most who makes the
greatest success, but the man
who thinks. It is not necessary
to read as well as observe and as
a rule the one who reads most
thinks the most.
Between 5,000,000 and 6,000,-
000 "official" baseballs are used
yearly on theAmericandiamonds.
The declared advance of 25 cents
on each ball this year meansi
therefore, more than $1,250,000
increase to the handlers. The
first baseball factory was started
in 1858. It may be then that the
manufacturers intend the fresh
profit as a slight golden-jubilee
token to themselves.

Philadelphia, Pittsburg and other
cities have made many announce-
ments oi it to their readers.

this out?" "I did, said the pro-
prietor. Why did you tear it
down?" Back of his f reckles the
boy gazed in wonder at the man's
Istupididity. •Why," he replied,
I'm the boy." And he proved
to be.

Oats And How to Grow Them.
I should be lost without a good
crop of oats; they come in so
handy for all kinds of stock,
from hens up to horses.
It is not so very much trouble
to get a good crop of oats. All
we need to do is to have the
ground in good condition, get at
it in proper season, use good seed
and—wait.
A good many liimes we are in
too big a hurry about getting in
our oats; not too soon, but too
much of a hurry to get through.
So we slip over the work and
then wonder why we do not get
good returns.
Land should be plowed as early
as possible for oats; but wait till
it is dry enough so that it will not
bake and be lumpy, lumpy land
is spoiled land.
Then harrow thoroughly, over
and over again, till there is a
good, soft, mellow seed bed. We
often miss it by slighting this
part of the work. Do not leave
anything to be done by the drill.
It sometimes happens that when
we are in a hurry we think we
will not harrow very well,—"the
drill will finish it." Not good
farming!
I you have some nice, fine, dry
hen manure, sift it and sow it
through the fertilizer attachment
of your drill. It is the best fer-
tilizer for this purpose that I
know of. If you have none, try a
small amount of common fertil
izer, not more than 150 or 200
pounds to the acre. You will get
good results irom this. Then
roll the land and wait till harvest
comes. Farmer Vincent.
A Good Boost.
The Ling Valley Advocate, of
Roseberry, Idaho, tells the fol-
lowing good story, which un
doubtedly will be appropriated
at once by the Kansas newspa-
pers with the claim that John
McMurrert is a resident of that
state:
Speaking of "boosting" we
guess this will hold you for
awhile: John McMurren dream-
ed the other night he had gone to
Heaven. The first thing he saw
when he was admitted was a man
with a heavy chain around his
neck and fastened to a post. He
asked why this punishment and
the angel replied: "This is not
punishment—the fellow is from
Long Valley and if we turn him
loose he will go back."
