Good Goods. We'll Advertised.

Going the rounds of the press is an
item stating that the Royal Baking
Powder Company the largest advertis-
er in America. OF course. the business
itself must be an enormous one to justify
so great an expenditure in publicity.
There is no iallacy more dangerous than
that success can be gained by advertis-
ing an article OF Indifferent merit. But,
given an article OF the highest quality
like Royal Baking Powder, which when
the housekeeper has once used she finds ii
she desires the best food she cannot DO
without. then the greatest measure OF
success is attained by keeping it contin-
ualIy before the public. Great merit and
good advertising are both essential to
make a product great success. The
ROYAL Baking Powder possesses the
first, its proprietors have wisely used the
second, and the result is apparent
throughout the land. The Royal conf
pany believe that there is no medium tor
advertising like newspapers, since in
these enlightened days everybody reads
them

At Howe Opera House.

Charles Cowles, "a Country Mer-
chant" will be given at the Opera House.
Thursday evening, Dec. 8. The play is
a comedy.drama of strong heartinterest,
yet full of delicious and natural humor,
of the sort which springs out of situa-
tons and character rather than from
barren wittcisms. There are also many
musical and speciality features of refined
and novel nature, and the stage settings
are Photographic in their truth to nature.
Mr.. Cowles eliminates the character
Of the old Yankee until it stands out as
one of the conspicuous artistic figures OF
the stage. not character to be seen
today and forgotten tomorrow. but an
enduring picture, which takes hold Of the
mind and heart and leaves its imprint
with us indeibly.

Salvation flag is hoisted, will be held
throughout this territory. The public
are by this time we'll acquainted with
the purposes which actuate the effort.
its aim being to supply, by means OF
self-denial additional sinews of war.
Past years have proved the financial
harvests which have been reaped tor the
work by the concentration Of the Army's
consecrated workers to this scheme.
But the Army is a rapidly developing
movement. and such success has been
more than followed up by its wide
spreading branches OF effort.
Therefore. Self Denial Week has again
been organized to meet the long-stand
ing and additional claims. And from
such reports as have reached us, it APP
pears as il additional efforts in every
direction were being put forth to secure
an astounding total. While the Army s
own people are foremost in both the toll
and the denial, outsiders and friends are
not excluded. All who recognize the
work which the organization is doing,
both for the spiritual and social well
being OF mankind, are asked to cooperate
Special meetings are being held at the
Armys local hall house TO house collect
ing is being Systematically carried out
and such network OF well gotten ur
machinery is now in motion by means o
daintily printed collecting cards and ap
peals, as seem 10 forettll the achievement
OF another substantial outcome OF thi:
good work. Contributions tor the effort
are received by the officer in charge OF TIT
local corps whose address is Captain

that there has been pretty good sleigh
ing all aroun1 town.
The hard freeze OF Friday night put the
ponds in excellent condition for skating
and on Saturday and during the evening
a merry party awaited themselves Of this
unusual opportunity at this time of the
year.

A Long Trial.


The Greek fruit dealer, Raphael B.
Noah, is having more than his share OF
litigation these days, but the suit he
brought against Lawyer Lemerise for
alleged fraudulent use of property re-
suited in verdict for the lawyer. The
case was tried in Farnham & Porter's
office on Monday before Charles Rogers
and as the trial lasted until O'Clock
Tuesday morning there was plenty OF
law dispensed and a good deal OF fun
besides. The attorneys for the Greek
were X. w. Simonds and Farnham &
Porter and Alexander Dunnett sustained
the reputation Of the de endant, who is a
member of the Caledonia county bar in
good and regular standing The six
jurymen had much longer session than
they expected but rather enjoyed their
service Tor the state.

Decline of Races.
From the New York Tribune.


Official statistics are quoted showing that
the birth rate in France has fallen from
3S per 1000 at the beginning of the century
to % per 1000, or less than the death rate.
In some of the United States, however, this
matter Is even more serious, 1t would ap-
pear. Thus. the birth rate in Nevada is
given as 1880 per 1000, Maine, Ii. 3d.. New
Hampshire, 1874, and Vermont, 1875, while
California, strange to say, has birth rate
Of 1914 per 1000 or nearly u per cent less
than that of France-a fact which, in view
OF the favorable climate, ample area and
diversity of interest and employment char
acteristic of the state, is most striking.
Following California is Connecticut, which
has birth rate Of 21.3 per 1000, Massa-
chusetts, 21.5. while Rhode Island has 22J,
or somewhat higher rate than the
French; then Wyoming, with it's 21.S, comes
between Massachusetts and Rhode Island,
and Oregon figures at 22.5. These data 1t
is asserted, show that within a period vary
ing from sixty to two hundred years. &C
cordfng to circumstances. the Anglo-Saxon
race of Inhabitants of New England and
the racine coast will be replaced by an
other.

Moving a Big Building.

FROM the Kansas City Star.
A new and interesting experiment is to
be tried at the stock yards by a local firr,
Of house movers. The 125x15O foot two
story brick boarding stable owned by the
stock yards company, located at 18th and
Bell streets. is being raised and will be
moved one block north on the site where
the old Colorado Hotel was torn down
during the last few days. To raise the
structure required the use of 400 jack
screws and to move 1T 800 rollers will be
used. The movers are to receive 5000 IL
they successfully locate the building on
the new site and they have given a bond
to protect the yard company against dam
age to the building. The barn is a SUBJ
stantial stable and originally cost $22,OOO.
1t will require nearly four weeks to COM
plete the work.
The moving of the huge stable intact at
the stock yards Is the biggest job of its
kind undertaken in this city. 1t Is made
all the more difficult, the contractors say,
because Of the NUMEROUS double doors and
windows, but the men in charge are con-
ident that the work can be done in the
time set without accident.
The ground vacated by the barn is to be
utilized in reconstructing the yards on
Missouri soil, as was published in the Star
two weeks ago. The hog and sheep yards
now located on thu Kansas side of the line
will be rebuilt where the present horse
and mule barns stand.
