It Will Be q Costly Lesson,

In Lincoln, Neb., there is a firm of
smart business men who advertised so
literally last year that they have been
compelled to move into a larger and
more conmodious store Since their
change trade has Increased SO fast that
they are now confident that no more
advertising is needed.
Next year some other firm will have
secured a still bigger trade and store by
advertising, and our friends of today
will be forgotten. Then they will be-
gin to advertise again and learn, when
too late, that it takes a long time to get
up steam when the fire has been once
allowed to 90 out.-Printer5' Ink.

An Unpleasant Experience.

Chris. and Andrew Holte and John
Toreson went out in sktf Monday af-
ternoon to lift some hooks which they
had set about a mile from shore. Just
as they began to lift they heard roar
in the woods which told them that there
was storm coming from the north
They concluded to hold onto the line
until the storm was oyer, but the wind
came with such force that the line broke
leaving them to depend on their oars to
keep from being blown to the south
shore. They at,once began to pull for
the shore, but the wind was 50 sJrong
that they could make no Roadway, but
instead, we're drifting farther away from
shore all the time. They broke couple
of the wooden thwarts which they use
for oarocks and had no knife nor wood
with which to make new enes. To make
matters worse, they had no dish with
which to bail out the water Which was
being washed into the :skiff by every
wave. In this desperate condition they
battled with the wind and waves for
over two hours, and had given up all
hopes of ever reaching shore alive when,
TO their great JOY, the storm ceased and
they reached shore about two miss west
of Grend Mara1s. They we're complete
ly covered with ice, and we're SO nearly
sovercome by cold and fatigue that they
were scarcely able to walk home.

What an Earnest and Energetic Committee
might Accomplish. IS
What do you think *of standing
committee Ion public entertainments
This covers q widesfeld. Such COM
mittee, made up Of thezlive, wide awake
members Of our local public organiza-
tions, could bring thousands of dollars
here every year. Here is plan Of oper
ation--in outline, Of course.
When a county fair is proposed, let
the committee members see that it is To-
Gated here. They should be Oh the look
out for conventions of all kinds-rei
gious, political, labor, secret order and
the like. Boards of trade are supposed
to look after such affairs, but it is not
exactly within their scope. A body Of
citizens organized for this particular
purpose would achieve far better re-
suits. It would not be a side issue then,
The advantages that would result
from the work of such an organization
gathered here perhaps dozen times a
year representative men from different
sections Of the country. Whatever of
good there is here would be widely ad
vertised. Directly there would be the
not inconsiderable sums of money spent
by these bodies. Indirectly there might
be gain Of a manufacturing enterprise
or perhaps of several. The mere fact of
a convention of any sort holding its ses
sions here would add to cur Importance
as town in the eyes Of our neighbours
Our hotels would be well patronized
and correspondingly improved. 1t would
make commodious convention hall or
building q paying investment as we'll
as necessity Our transportation faoili-
ties would be bettered as a natural Of
feet In short, the benefits would be
evenly and generously distributed.
All that is required is little concen-
trated effort. It would only be apply
ing the principles which make private
business a success to public affairs
If our citizens and business men will
take hold and push such scheme, they
will be surprised at the quick results
The details Ct such plan will readily
suggest themselves to an intelligent
man. The trouble to put such details
into operation would be small The
payment for such trouble would be swift
and sure. Let US have a call issued
without delay and put to test the public
spirit and enterprise which our citizens
have often shown they possess.

WORKING FOR THE TOWN.

The Newspaper That Booms Its Locality
Should BE Rewarded.
No other class of business men take q
welfare Of the locality in which they
live than the editors of the daily and
weekly papers, yet they are no more
directly benefited by the results of their
public spirited efforts than the mel
chants and property owners who perhaps
neglect to have their names on the edl.

~tise in his paper. Here is a sample of
what wide awake editor will do fu1
his town. The following is taken from
the Jackson (Ky.l Hustler:
IF Jackson is ever town of any
considerable size, it must be made SO by
the timber trade. There are tens of
thousands Of logs being loated past here
that ought to be stopped and manufac-
tured. It would add hundreds Of thou.
sands of wealth to the county A market
would be created for beef, vegetables,
fruits, poultry, etc., that would enrich
the country people. Better prices would
be obtained for logs than are now re-
ceived at the mills below US. This in
dustry cannot be developed here with
out a pond of water in which to float
logs. Such provision is Indispensable
The mills must be able to handle their
logs at any season CT the yea1 This ne
cessity for a high dam makes the need
Of bridge still greater. It is already
great enough, but the raising OF dam
to furnish pool for the mill men in
creases it. The time has come when
the progress Of both the town and coun
ty is greatly retarded by the lack Of a
bridge over the river at this place. We
have always believed that it would sub
serve the bestinterest Of Breathitt coun-
ty for the court Of magistrates to build
this bridge and throw it open to the
world free of charge, and thus make it
the peoples highway. Let the magis-
trates be called together and acton this
momeEtous question.
If the people Of jackson do not up
preciate such alertness for the public
welfare. it is to their own discredit.

Practical Advice From IN Intelligent OBJ
server-Whnt Pays Best.
The Portland (Me.9 Express offers
some sound and practical advice and
few facts worthy Of consideration on
the subject Of advertising which will
meet with the Endorsement Of all who
have given this subject intelligent study.
Some way or other, it always hap
pens that the judicious advertiser sue
seeds, says The Express
Judicious means many things.
Some men better never advertise
Some things better never be advertised
Men who are not honest. who do not
keep their promises whose ADVERTISE
.ments mislead and whose stores disap-
point-they had better let advertising
alone
There is q man in New York, fur
niture dealer, who says that he never ex-
poets to sell tho Same man twice. He
rscsail means to get the best Of the
deal the first time, makes all the profit
he can on the ono sale, because he
knows that the buyer will never come
back-that he will discover the cheat
Now, it wouldn't pay that man to
advertise, and he knows it and doesn't
advertise
Eat fairly honest business, conduct
ed by a man who keeps pretty close to
the letter Of truth, it will always pay to
advertise
Some business men are too careless
In their statements They become 80
used to writing 'biggest, "grandest,
''greatest, best, that they can only
think in superlativesI
They mean to be honest-probably
are. They are merely careless, and fail
ure is the price Of carelessness in adver-
Using, maybe mot absolute failure, but
something very short Of success.
Every advertisement shonld have care
full consideration. All the discrepancies
should be eliminated. no careless state
:ments allowed.
If You don't take che time to attend
to your advertising carefully, better cut
1t down. Cut of all the parasites. Cut
off novelties programmes. Cut of the

There is one medicine which every
family should be provided with. We
refer to Chamberlain's pain balm.
When it is kept at hand the severe
pain OF burn or scald may be
promptly relieved and the sore healed
in much less time than when medicine
has to be sent for. A sprain may be
promptly treated before inflammation
sets in, which insures cure in about
one-third the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive inn
mediate attention before the parts
become swollen, and when Chamber
lain's pain balm is applied it will heal
them without matter being formed
and without leaving scar. A sore
throat may be cured in one night. A
