Sermon On Advertising.
NJ. Wineburgh in Profitable Advertising.

NJ. Wineburgh in Profitable Advertising.
Text.-The fruit of advertising cannot
be gathered until it has had time to rlpen.
Prom First Verse Of First Chapter OF
Common Sense.
True sermons are always interesting,
and this one happens to be true.
You must 90 back to nature to learn
anything, even to learn advertising.
If you plant a potato today you will
not get potato in return tomorrow.
You won't get potato next week or
next month.
But if you'll just be patient awhile that
original potato will grow and grow, and
some fine morning you can dig down where
it was planted and find dozen potatoes
have taken its place.
Advertising and nature are pretty much
alike
The fruit of advertising must grow its
natural time, just as the potato must have
it's proper season to develop.
The force of advertising is felt only by
constant repetition.
A card about your goods placed in the
New England cars will not sell enough
goods the first day to pay for the tacks
used in fastening it up.
If you expect to get back at once the 2
cents day it costs in each year, you had
better not try it, for the 2 cents won
come back so soon.
But if you put your card in the cars
week in and week out, month after month,
some fine morning it will dawn upon you
that your New England business is getting
pretty big.
And it is then you can count up the
profits on increased trade and lind that
your cents day has brought forth its
ripened fruit in the shape Of dollars.
Here is where you dig down and find
the dozen potatoes where you originally
planted onl y one.
Maybe this sermon will make you think
it advisable to write for the cold facts and
figures about street car advertising in New
England.

Better Than Wealth.

Many man is rich without money.
Thousands of men with nothing in their
pockets, and thousands without even a
pocket, are rich A man born with a
good sound constitution, a good heart, and
good limbs, and pretty good head piece, Is
rich. Good bones are better than gold;
tough muscles than silver; and nerves that
flash fire and carry energy to every func-
ton are better than houses and land. 1t is
better than landed estate to have the
right kind of father and mother. Educa
ton may do much to check evil tendencies
or to develop good ones The man is rich
who has good disposition, who is kind,
patient, cheerful, hopeful, and who has a
flavor of wit and fun in his composition.
The hardest thing to get on with in this
life is mans own SELF A cross, selfish
fellow, responding and complaining fellow,
timid and are-burdened man-these are
all born deformed on the inside. They dc
not limp, but their thoughts do.

The Champion Shot.

j. G. Davidson, of the regular army,
has secured his discharge and returned to
his home, at Mayfeld, jackson county,
Tennessee. He was in the regular army
13 years, and is the champion shot of the
United States Army. He brings home
with him 500 worth of medals. The
championship gold medal of the army, now
borne by him, alone cost 1926. There is
but one of these medals, and it will be car
ried by Davidson until some more expert
shot grows up to snatch it from him, which
may be many years. Davidson hit NOV
ing target 260 yards 62l times out of a
possible 500. The target was moving at
the rate of three miles per hour. In an
other contest he shot Ii shots in 80 sec
onds, and each shot hit the bulls eye.
The gun was single shot, and had to be
loaded for each shot with cartridge by hand
This beats the worlds record. He won
the World Fair medal for accurate and
rapid shooting. He was sharpshooter in
the Santiago campaign, and picked off many
Spaniards. He weighs 175 pounds and is
low in stature. He belonged to Company
G., Sixteenth Regiment, United States In
fantry.

Kerosene for the Hair.
From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
A woman recently asserted that the fine
appearance of her hair was entirely due to
a persistent and thorough treatment with
the familiar kerosene of corner grocery
commerce. 1t was applied regularly once
a fortnight in the following way A little
was poured into saucer and rubbed with
the fingers into the roots of the hair. The
application was slow and thorough, the gen
tie message of the roots with the finger tips
being needed to open the pores for the alb
sorption of the oil. The treatment was
usually made at night, and the hair after
ward tied up in silk handkerchief: The
silk handkerchief is recommended by hair
dressers as useful in retaining the natural
electricity of the hair. By noon of the fol-
lowing day the odor Of the kerosene had
disappeared, and in another IL hours the
oiliness that followed its use had also gone.
The effect of this treatment on the hair was
promptly noticeable, the falling out stopped
and soon new short hairs were found all
over the head. AS the kerosene application
was continued the hair became thick and
smooth. When, after several months, it
was finally discontinued, abundant glossy
locks replaced the dry and lustreless hair
the former condition still existing, though
no kerosene has been used for several years.

The tall millet, growing to height OF
20 feet in some parts of China, does not
produce much food per acre, perhaps not
more than fourth as much as wheat; but
the stalk is necessity as fuel, and is
grown largely for that purpose. The grain
is used for animal as well as for human
food.

MAY BE BETTER OFF
CENTURY HENCE

One year (sic) is not long time in
the history of States, not long enough
to test anything; and yet we find
multitude of people who declare that
1.-The folly of establishing a Territorial
government with practically universal
suffrage among a people unframed to
the exercise of political power has been
conclusively illustrated in Hawaii by
the doings, this past year. of incompe-
tent Legislators, and misunderstanding
demag ogs.' But twelve months is
very short time in which to test and
condemn the wisdom of universal suf-
frage. Let US imagine that it is a
Philadelphia paper from which We
quote; is Mayor Ashbrfdge's town
ready. after a century and more Of
experience, to give up universal suf-
frage? 1t has taken more than a year
to make popular government a real
success in Mexico. Chill or Argentina;

was the experience Of repeated revolu-
tions any reason for being discour-
aged? By the end of the century, or
less, we find them very decent repub-
lies. Give Hawaii the same chance to
retrieve her blunders that we ask for
New York and Philadelphia before con-
demning universal suffrage. The ex-
pertinent of restricting the suffrage is
not working with perfect beauty in
certain of our southern States-New
