books attractions must have years
of experience and u large acouain-
tance among performers in order to
secure the best attractions for the
least money. If you make a con.
tract with a first-class theatrical
manager to furnish your attractions
for certain amount of money, you
run little risk of having a bad show;
on the other hand, if you go into
the business of booking the attrac-
tions yourself, you will have appli-
cations from "fake" managers and
"barn stormers" who cannot get en-
gagements from first.class houses,
and who depend for a living on de-
ceiving people who have no expert
ence in the show business and 70
acquaintance with performers. If
you book your own attractions, you
will have to build your own stages,
aud, when your fair begins, the per-
formers whom you have engaged,
having no experienced manager to
look after them and to see that they
do their work properly, will run
things to suit themselves. If, how
ever, you do business with theatri-
cal manager, you are rid Of all trou-
BILE and worry. You hold him re-
sponsible, under contract, to furnish
a certain number of attractions, and
to see that the shows are presented
properly from day to day. While a
professional amusement manager
may not know how to compound
prescriptions, sell dry goods, run q
/, grocery store or conduct hotel, he
, ought to be thoroughly experienced
and capable in the amusement busi-
! ness. 1t is a business to which he
| has devoted his exclusive tine,
} thought and energy for years; and,
, in that time, he has accumulated a
, rich fund Of experience and acquir-
} ed a large acquaintance with show
people, which amply qualities him
! to carry out to perfect success any
E amusement enterprise which he may
! undertake.

The ori4in OF advertising is tn
known, and a review OF its history
is not necessary to a discussion OF
the subject of street fairs. 1t Is
enough to say that advertising has
been practiced in one form or an
other ever since the time when hui
man beings began to express tnelr
thoughts in written or printed char
acters. The first attempts were, CT
course, crude and awkward; but, as
time passed on, there was a marked
Improvement. However, the busi-
ness public does not seem to have
fully appreciated the value OF adver-
tising. until within the past two or
three decades. This is an era in
which everybody advertis' and ev-
erylhing is advertised. Advertising
lis regarded as science, requiring
earnest and careful study-as an
art, to be constantly and vigorously
practiced. In this age OF the world
the man who does not advertise has
his shelves crowded with stale goods
he has nothing to do but stand in
his doorway and watch with envy
the stream of customers pouring IN
nj the door of his wide awake com
petitor who advertises. The weeds
flourish in the streets OF the city
that does not advertise; while the
footsteps of throngs OF money laden
visitors wear holes in the granite
and asphalt thoroughfares OF the
cities that reach out for business.
ADVERTISING CITIES.
The forms Of advertising cities are
many and varied. Boards of trade
and commerce, manufacturers as
sociations and merchants clubs take
the matter in hand. They send
out literature they hustle for con
ventions; they influence railroads
they offer inducements for manu-
Ifacturing plants to locate; they ge
lup carnivals; they organize exposi
Itions; they hold street fairs. II
this way they attract the attention
and secure the patronage OF the
public for miles around, and leave
liar in the rear those moss-growr
Ineiphboring cities whose business
men are not enterprising enough t
Advertise.

TALKS TO YOUNG MEN.
Governor Mount Addresses the Yoke
Fellows.

Governor Mount delivered an address on
DUTY and Danger" to the members of the
Yoke Fellows at the First Baptist Church
ing and he spoke of the duties which
young men owed to society, TO state, TO
business and to church In part he said:
young men, the noblest service you can
render to society, to business, to the state,
TO the church and to self, is faithful effort
to make character purer. life SUMMER and
the world better. No man can isolate him
self from society and thereby shun respon-
sibility. You have a duty to the state Pa
triotism is a virtue and loyalty TO the
country a sacred duty. The soldier who
enlists to fight his country's battles DEM
onstrates his love of country. There are
civic as well as military duties. The coun,
try needs faithful service in peace as well
as war.

and see that good men are Nominated.

irving from them his income, is the serv-

the income of the millionaire and the earn

Evil environments, dissipating inf1u-
