OLD ANDIRONS.
A Relic of the Past Found In Street
House Basement.

In removing lot of stored prop
erty and rubbish from the basement
of the old Street house part of Hotel
Lacey, w R Lacey found a pair OF
old-fashioned andirons. They were
formerly used in the open fire places
of the Street mansion and are of the
sort that Ebert Hubbard told about
in his lecture here. They were hand
made and are certainly relic of the
days that used to be. Andirons were
a luxury in those days. A family who
could boost of apdirons was to be
looked up to as of more than ordinary
importance. Mr. Lacey will preserve
the old irons and will place them in
the fire place that is to adorn the
lobby of the new hotel.

ought to have, but gives no cogent rea-
son why. His ad. is so overshadowed
by the good ones around it that it
goes almost unobserved. Instead of
standing out like strong, appealing
message to every one whose eyes scan
the page, it has the appearance of at
tempted evasion, as though it feared
the scrutiny of the lynx-eyed public
He fails to get satisfactory returns
and condemns advertising as a cost
ly experiment. Had he used the same
discretion in buying advertising that
he did in buying clothes of the tailor,
and considered the quality first and
cost afterward. he would have found
the one as highly satisfactory as the
other.
If you have been waiting during the
past six weeks for business to bright
en- up, you have been making a mis-
take. Every day you delay now is so
much time thrown away. 1t is better
to get after the business that is COM
ing in order to see to what extent you
can land that business which is only
in prospect. There are many reasons
why you should be able to stir UP bus
mess just at this time. The spring
buying may not be open yet, but peo-
pie want to know about the spring
stock. A daily story about what you
have ready for selling, about what
others will use and about the advan-
tages of early buying will convince
quite number and what you say will
be to the strengthening of the bust
ness at present time as we'll as provid-
ing for business in the future. Don't
wait until spring comes before adver-
Using spring stock. The mere fact
that you bought your stock in advance
of the demand for it shows that you
are wise enough to know the advan-
tage of having on hand that which is
sure to eb in demand later on. Know
ing this advantage you can also pro-
mt by informing the public of your
ability to supply that for which they
will be looking.
Don't let an advertisement fail of
results because you failed to get the
order from the first announcement. If
good advertisement is planned along
the right line it will excite interest
and subsequent advertisement will
clinch the business. Keep after an or
der until it is landed or know the rea-
son why in order to protect the invest
ment you made in the early expendi
ture for publicity.
In advertising it is just as we'll to
know what to avoid as to know what
to say. A wise man appreciates this
and governs his publicity accordingly.

WAS AN ERROR.
Report that VAR. Little Tried 10 Escape
Was Mistake.

VIM. Little, who had charge of
the horse Garnet p, that was pur-
chased by Bert Paine, states that the
report of the transfer was incorrect
in some of the details of the affair.
The gentleman would not deliver the
property and an action to replevin
the same was instituted and the pa
pers were served. The horse was at
the stables when the papers were
served. Mr.. Little says that he did
not drive the animal about in the eff
fort to retain possession. The HER
AID is pleased to make the correction
to place Mr.. Little in the right light
in the affair.

Why do advertisers continue to eX-
pertinent in the advertising field? We
find business men-good, shrewed buy
ers and sellers in all sections of the
country, in cities large and small,
even in the rural districts continually
experimenting with advertising. 1t
is an UNEMPLOYED region to be APP
preached with caution and dire fore
bodings? A problem for scientific in
vestigation? A chamber of hidden
mysteries to be unlocked only with the
key of relentless experiment and re-
search? Not by any means 1t is an
open plain, spread out before the bus
mess world, wherein nothing is con-
cealed. 1t is clean cut, fair, point
blank business proposition; an invest
ment of as much Importance as in any
other line of merchandise, stocks or
bonds. 1t is the one great essential in
any line of trade. 1t is the crank that
turns the great wheel of commerce,
the motive power that drives the gil
gantic business machine of the world
An immense sum of money is spent
annually in haphazard, go-as-you-
please style of advertising. Much of
il is wasted. 1t is unjust and abso-
lutely injurious to the business of
good, honest advertising. 1t not only
turns those who use it thus against it.
but their condemnation of it deters
others who would gladly accept it did
they but know it's actual value.
We can hardly find paper or mag
azine of any description to-day that
does not contain more or less expert
mental advertising.
Too much space is little better than
not enough. neat, well-written adj
cut, trimmed and made to fit the bust
ness for which it is used, backed up
with, 'lf it is not right it is a part of
our business to make it right" and
properly placed, is an investment that
will insure good returns. Is there any
puzzle about this? Not a bit of it.

When a business man goes to buy

plates the one he has written, which
fully explains the goods he has, just
as he would explain them to custom

much space and consume my profits"
So he cuts off little here and little
there, contracts the type and squeezes
it into the smallest possible space,
thus reducing the cost a third or half,
and almost completely destroys the
value of his ad. He contracts and
cramps it until the explanation is in
complete, giving only a vague hint

The Number Of Men Who Have
-, -. Surrendered to Date.
MANY OF THEM II YEARS OLD
They Are Friendly to the British
and Hostile to Germany
and France.

Pretoria, Wednesday, June lin all
1925 Beers have surrendered up to date.
Many are youngsters Of II years old and
upwards. The majority of them are un-
der 80, though some of the burghers who
have surrendered are septuaSenarians.
Reports from all the districts say that
the burghers are increasingly friendly
The only bitterness observable among
the leading Beers here is against France
and Germany. They declare the war was
protracted unnecessarily owing to hopes
held out by the French and German
press. Some of the Beers are SO incensed
that they have expressed the hope that
some day they will fight on the side OF
the British against one Of these powers.
The anticipated friction between Nthe
surrendered Beers and their former com
rades Of the National Scouts has not ma
terialized to any extent.
The Beers admit they received annmuni-
tion through Portuguese territory.
General De Wet says the youngst ers
were his best fighters and frequently held
positions after the Older burghers had
cleared out. The Beers of the Orange
River colony are handing in only a small
percentage of their ammunition. They
explain that they used most of it in hunt
ing game since the peace agreement was
signed " e.. .-6." ~
Addressing the surrendered Beers al

Elliott said the only wish of King Ed
ward, his government and the British
people, was to help the burghers and gel
them back to their farms as soon as pos.
sible The king, the general added, ha6
telegraphed congratulating the burghers
on the good stand they had made. This
announcement was, greeted with lusty
cheers for the king and for Lord Kitch.

West Point. 1t was the intention Of tn,
President to go from there to Oyster 'Ba
to spend several days with his wife anv
her sister, but yesterdays news from
Washington evidently brought about {
change of program, for he is now on the
way back to Washington accompanied by
Root, and will arrive tonight. To-
morrow, it is believed, important
steps will be taken looking t.
the clearing Of the atmosphere. The live
Hest interest is taken here in the pres
ident's. probable attitude regarding Mr.
Thurber's disclosures yesterday before
Abe senate Cuban committee.
Senator Foraker, it is said on the
authority of leading members of the Min
nesota delegation, is so profoundly stirred
by what happened that he will offer in the
placing all sugars on the free list. Mr..
Foraker has leaned towards the insurgent
position for some time, but had not
thought that the situation warranted him
in breaking away from the so-called ad
ministration forces.
The air Is full of hints Of further dis
closures regarding Governor General
Woods administration in Cuba and re-
garding the sugar trusts connection with
pending legislation and the insurgents are
threatening to make things interesting for
the so-called administration people if
Cuban reciprocity is pressed.
It is assumed that these hints and
threats will take some definite form after
the presidents return. He will be placed
in possession of all available informa-
tion and will then decide whether he
wants to insist on the passage of reci-
procity bill The situation is exceed
ingly delicate. and nobody can tell what a
day may bring forth. Both sides recog-
nize the gravity of the <outleok.
If one-tenth of the stories which are
being told on apparently good authority
are true the country is about to listen
to disclosures of a highly sensational
character and is on the eve Of tremend-
Gus shaking up. .'...5s
The presidents return will undoubtedly
clear the atmosphere and it is really toe
bad that he should have gone away when
he did. His absence has, given the scandal
mongers great opportunities. 1t is to be
hoped that there Is little Of truth in what
they are saying.
