OF -KRETOL TROUBLES
Proceedings Against Mrs.
Campbell Instituted.
Major Armes, the Plaintiff, Alleges He
Traded Some Real Estate for

of Mrs. Campbell, conveyed to her the
property in question in consideration of
the assignment to him OF 303 shares of
the stock of the Kretol Chemical Com
pany. which paid a dividend of per cent
on the par value, which made IL per cent
on the price at which the stock usually
sold
He also says she professed entire ac-
auaintance with the affairs OF the COM
pany and represented ii as making profits
which would justify the payment of such
dividends, and that such profits would
likely continue in the future. = These rep
resentations. Major Armes states. were

Spasmodic ADV ertising.
Adsnith.

1.-THE time to advertise is all the
Time" is one of the best advertising
sayings we have ever heard. Spas
modic advertising has too much to
accomplish, in fact. more than it ever
does accomplish.
1t has double work, that of making
up for lost time, during which
no advertising is done. and the an
nouncement 1t must make of the pres
ent. 1t requires a spasmodfc second
time adjust two months to establish
an advertisers name where the first
months advertising had placed it.
Lost advertising ground is hard ID
regain for this reason that advertising
increases in value with each succeed
ing issue, inasmueh as the advertisers
name becomes familiar.
Spasmodle advertising serves to jog
the peoples memory every once in a
while, while the every day adj is causing
a closer acquaintance every day. Peo-
pie read every day ads as matter of
habit, but such habit is hard to
acquire from spasmodic advertising.
People who are not habitualare very
often forgetful. BY advertising every
day in the year people will form a
habit of reading your different an
nouncements. The irregularity of
spasmodic advertising will never do

analysis and classification Of soils
which, the station has bad under way
for some time.
1t is also concluding similar negoti-

Of experiments upon certain plant dis

investigation great practical good will
come 10 the farmers and fruit growers
Of West Virginia.
At the last session Of the legislature
an act was passed instructing the di-
