Tests of fine riding by young men and women and boys and girls was a leading feature of the last day, and the enthusiasm aroused could well be excused as Kentucky, and especially Harrison county, have reason to be proud of their fine horses and the fine horsemanship displayed in the training and management of this production of Kentucky soil and atmosphere. It was estimated that 2500 people were in attendance, and the wonder was expressed, where they all came from. Much inferest was manifested in the several lectures given, and the lecturer had to be well up on his subject to answer them.

That a great interest was aroused in modern methods was evidenced in the groups that gathered around the spea ers at the close of each session to ask questions along the lines of thorough bred hogs, corn, wheat and alfaifa. The night session at Berry was an overflow meeting although' the house occupied was capable of holdIng an audience of 500. We hope that Fulton county will make an effort to have an enhusiastic institute when it is pulled off at Fulton. We will advise you later as to the date and force of lecturers that will be in the county. JOHN A.

"I want to outline a successful sale plan that we have used and which is about the best one we have ever tried. It is not original with me.

I think it was worked out and first used by a store in some town in Wisconsin. We obtained the plan through a shoe salesman. Should the originator of the idea read this article I wish to offer him my apologies for reproducIng his plan," writes an Iowa merchant. "It is called a 'Six-for-Five The idea of the sale is to give six articles, or gards, for the price of five. The statement made in our bills, is: 'No matter what you buy, dress goods, shoes, furnishing goods, notions, callcoes, ginghams, outing flannels, hats, gloves, ribbons, handkerchiefs, hose, dishes, canned fruits, canned vegetables, glassware, or any other goods that we carry in stock (with the exception of goods on which we are already making a special low price, and the list of specials advertised elsewhere in this ad.) you only pay for five, but you get "In order to make the sale still more effective we selected a few wellknown articles which we marked very low, and then excluded them from the regular 'six-for-five' list.

Of course, if it 1s desired to move such lines as cloaks and clothing, of which you could hardly expect to sell five to one family, they can be excepted from the 'six-for-five' list and a price be made OD them. "When we sold five pairs of shoes, or of any other line, we would take the average price of the five and allow this amount on the sixth pair. "This sale has many strong points. In the first place, it is based on the principle that nothing will have quite the influence in getting people to leave their money with you as that of giving them something for nothing. It is the extra yard or pound or article that talks.

"In addition to all these points, it 1s a plan that can be used equally well for almost any occasion, and at any time of the year, and one which will not, I think, grow old, if it be made a regular annual event. "That this is is a successful sale plan was shown by the fact that when we were running it our competitor put on sale and got out bills in which he called attention to the fact that the prices he was making were lower than our 'six-for-five' prices, and still we got the crowds. It was but natural, however, that we should, because people are always attracted by something free." -0- LEVEE MEETING NOTICE.
