Grand Chancellor Clark on a VISITING
Tour.

The Las Vegas Record of the
18th inst. says:
{. c. Clark, of Kelly, N. NJ,
grand chancellor of the Knigts of
Pythias in the territory, is in the
city. Mr.. Clark has been on an
extended trip through the terrific
ry, visiting the different lodges
and organizing new ones of his
order. He reports the different
lodges which he visited as being
in a fourishing condition and
gaining rapidly in membership.
Mr.. Clark says he organized a
new lodge at Springer, with
charter membership of forty, and
he expects to organize others
shortly of equal, or greater, men,
bership. He has held his present
office for two terms and is esteem
ed by all of his brother knights
through New Mexico. He will
probably remain grand chancellor
of the order in New Mexico as
long as he will consent to retain
it.
Mr.. Clark is in the mining bus
mess at Kelly and has been
resident of the the territory for
twenty years or more, having
come to New Mexico from In
diana in the sos. The grand
chancellor has been rendered quite
an ovation by the members of the
local lodge, among whom he is a
great favorite. He will leave this
afternoon for the West.

"ADS" SHOULD TALK.

When a man shall have learned
that to get fair share of busi-
ness he must advertise, and that
he should depend on the news
paper, and when he shall have
decided on the amount of money
he may expend on advertising,
he will meet the problem of what
to say. Here is the advice of a
successful merchant: "An adj
vertisement should be made to
talk to the reader as a salesman
talks to his customr."

months leave to begin at the compile
ton of the examination that he is to take

The statement was made in one of the
morning papers that the reason the new
federal building and the postoffice were
not draped was because there were no
funds with which to purchase the neces-
sary material. Collector Peterson, OF
the customs department, says that this
is not the case, but that the draping
or decorating of public buildings is pro-
hibited by law.
