Value of Newspaper
Advertising Demonstrates.

An advertising experiment was re-
Gently made in Tampa which concIu-
sively demonstrates the value Of space
In a good, live newspaper. and is re-
specially recommended to the careful
consideration of the few who are
still inclined to question the efficiency
of printers ink as a business getter.
The experiment was made in the col
umns of The Tampa Tribune and The
Miami Metropolis has the following
to say in regard to it:
The Tampa Tribune relates of a
merchant who had two stores-one in
Tampa and the other in Ybor City
and who tried an experiment in ad-
Yertising. He placed in each store
bargain counter containing the same
articles. He advertised the counter
OF the Tbor City store, but not that
OF the Tampa store. In one month in
Tampa, where he did not advertise
he sold 1884 worth Of goods. In the
NbOr City store where he did adver-
use he sold goods amounting to
Sl,124. In commenting on the result
Of the experiment the merchant said:
People who got the Tribune with the
advertisement would pass by the
Tampa store and drive to YbOr Civ
to the other store for what they could
have gotten at the same price in the
store at their door, but they did not
know 1t was there" Is not this ar
gument convincing, AMI does it not
show that it is necessary for a mer-
chant or business man to advertise
II he would succeed? The Tampa
merchants experience is but one of
many that prevails in every CITY in
the Union. Every merchant knows il
to be true The people must be told
what You have for sale and what Il
can be had for. They are not going
10 look you up for the sake of friend
snip and an acquaintance to see what
you have for sale. 1t is the fellow
that tells them in plain, unadulterat-
ed words what his goods are. and
what they can be had for that thew
are going to look for, no matter if
they have never seen or heard of him
before. He has interested them.
you have not, and for the time being
my AOl Sc EOu dTe a merchant, or
are even living, for that matter. You.
must advertise if you would succeed.
and the sooner you begin your cam
palgn the sooner will results be
achieved. Let the experience of the
Tampa merchant be a lesson to those
few woUld-be business men in Miami
that do not know or appreciate the.
value Of printers ink and inspire them
TO try the experiment. They will
soon realize results. There is mo-
such thing as fail when advertising

We believe that our railroads and

We believe that the seed thus sown

more believe that if pains were taken
to settle these newcomers on the fer

result would in few years prove
satisfactory to all concerned.

Aid for Japan's
Starving Millions.

While telegraphic reports from the
Far East have, during the past few
months, conveyed the information
that the northern provinces Of Japan
were suffering from famine. the ex-
tent Of the affliction was not fully
realized until President Roosevelt
took oficial action and asked the aid
Of the American people in behalf of
the starving people OF the Island EN-
pire.
The famine, which has been raging
Tor months, has reached proportions
far exceeding Japan's ability TO cope
with it, latest advices showing that
one and a quarter million Of the pop
ulatiOn Of the three northern prov
inces Of Fukushima, Iwate and Miyagi
have reached the lowest ebb Of desti-
tuition, thousands being reduced to
the necessity Of sustaining life on
grass and roots.
Conditions must steadily grow worse
until the next harvest time, several
months hence and relief must be
forthcoming Immediately in order to
be effective.
The Christian Herald, 90 Bible
House, New York, has established a
Japanese Famine Relief Fund. and
money sent for this fund will be ad-
ministered under the direction of CON-,
nittees appointed for the purpose,
Fhich will work in conjunction with.

Proposition for
a Gulf States Fair.

The last issue Of The Mobile Farm
and Floral World contained the fol
lowing article under the caption "A
Gulf States Fair"
There is no better way to advertise
the Gulf states and to make known "a
the world their varied resources than
the holding Of an annual fair on q
large scale in one OF the large cities
where annual exhibits of all kinds
etc, together with the manufactured
products and the mineral resources
Of each county in the five great com
mOnwealths comprising the Gull
states. Such an organization could
easily be formed if the financial and
commercial organizations and the
railroads, land owners and real estate
men could get together and formulate
a plan-bUt il requires some one q
take the lead in such movement
Farm and Floral World would be
much pleased to see the New Orleans
Progressive Union take the matter
up and call a meeting of representa-.
tiveS of the various interests named
above to meet in New Orleans at an
early date and discuss the possibili.
ties Of such a movement.
An annual fair along the lines out.
lined above would undoubtedly do
much to advertise the varied re,
sources Of the states bordering on the
gulf, but interest in the project should
not be confined TO any particular sec.
ton. II all sections would Join in the
effort with an understanding that the
fair should be held in a different gulf
state city each year and no one OF
two places allowed TO mOnopolize it.,
much good would result An annual
exposition at the same place each
year would hardly command the gen
ersl interest necessary TO its success
as a Gulf States fair.
However, The Journal would be

ton, and awaits further details Of

time, at that.
But there is another class OF lninil'

sorely in need. The labor problem

nation to such desirable and thrifty

cheap lands and congenial climate,

These, i'll a word, are among the
problems of the day which our people
will soon be called upon to solve. Our
state government has evaded the is
sue and ignored the necessity for ac-

people to act for themselves and by

FLORIDA AND
IMMIGRATION.
Jacksonville Times-Union,
R5ss5e 5ssss9ss 4 sssas,

The immigration question is now
being widely discussed, not only in
the south, but throughout the entire
country, and the demand for some
rational means Of restriction is every
day emphasized by those interested.
Florida, however, is much less con.
cerned with this feature of the immi.
grafton question than with the neces.
sity Of settling up its unoccupied
lands, and developing the resources
Of which so little is known beyond the
borders Of the state.
AS the Times-Union long since
pointed out, the best class of immi.
grants for our purpose will probably
be found, not among the motely throng
that annually pours into the country
through the narrow gateway of New
York, but among those residents of
the northern and western states who
are seeking more favorable condi,
tons and a more satisfactory environ
ment.
This class of settlers cam however,

Mass, had skinned an eagle for mount.

who did odd jobs about came in.

Uncle Ben bore the goose" jorfully
away. The next time he met Mr.. Wick
airy he looked at him rather queerly,
but said nothing. A few days later
the taxidermist skinned an owl and
again offered Uncle Ben goose to take
home. Uncle Ben removed his hat,
scratched lis head in some perplexity
and then said;

Higher Chinese Education.

Many of our people think of China
as land of ignorant coolies who are
so inferior to ourselves as to rise
scarcely to the plane of human beings.
The fact is that China contains a great.
err number of educated and cultivated
people than any other country in the
world. Their culture is not like ours,
but it Is based upon long study Of lit
erature, ethics and philosophy, and it
has been transmitted through many
generations. The Chinese have not
well learned how to act together 9th

One of Them Claims to Reach Back
Beyond the Flood.
The most ancient family in France,
in so far as the tracing back of the an
cestry in an unbroken line is con-
cerned, is the royal house of Bourbon,
which goes back to Robert lie Fort in
the year SCI. Next in point of antiqui-
ty comes the Rohan family, which for
the last century, however, has been set
tied in Austria, the SO called Rohans
in France being not really Rohans, but
merely Chabots, their only connection
with the house of Rohan being by mar
riage.
Then comes the house of Narbonne-
Pellet, the head of which is the Due de
Narbonne, who can trace his lineage
back without interruption to the year
$40. OF course, in making this asser-
ton, do not take into consideration
the somewhat mythical claim of the
Duke of Levis-Mirepoix to be descend
ed in a direct and unbroken line from
Jacobs son, Levi. He has among his
family pictures one old painting in
which the Holy Virgin is represented
as requesting the former Duke of
Lewis Mirepoix to put on his hat, which
he had DOTTED in salutation, she being
depicted as uttering the words
"CouvreZ vous, mon cousin" Another
picture represents an ancestor of
