The Rev. Dr. Manages, pastor of the
Oakland, Md, Lutheran church, was
an unexpected guest part of last Sunday
of the Rev. and Mrs. A. F. Richardson,
at the Lutheran parsonage of this city.

by big landslide on the grade above

by way of Elkins and the Reverend gen.

O'Clock Sunday morning. He remained
over until the afternoon and assisted
Rev. Richardson in the communion SER

The purpose of store advertising is
not merely to sell goods, but to sell
more goods to make friends, build up a
patronage that will not only stick but
grow. Newspapers reach the greatest
number of people in the immediate Vi
cinity in the most natural way, at the
least expense, and they are therefore
the best of all mediums for stores. In
newspaper office you follow the lines
of the least resistance-you follow with
the stream-you talk to an audience al
ready assembled, to the people who
want to read-their mental cosmos is
right they are on your wire, and they
won't ring off if you hold their interest.
Attraction is the basis of all advertising
the store is the sun, the customers
the planets that revolves around it.
The Cumberland News thus sum
meriZes the conclusions to be drawn
from the testimony before the coronor's
jury investigating the causes of the late
railroad disaster at Terra Gotta, Nd.
"a fast train run behind a slow local
with fast watch in the engineers
pocket A block system that stretched
and shortened internationally to permit
a trit1ing economy! Signal lanterns so
feeble as to be invisible through forty
yards of fog. Truly, the disclosures
before the coronor's jury are indicating
that the responsibility for the Terra
Gotta wreck is administrative as well
as Individual. And what is true in this
case is probably true in many others.
Usually the public has been satisfied
or forced to be satisfied with the
sterotyped finding engineer at fault or
'signalman to blame, but fortunately
the probe is being pushed now to the
bottom of the matter and the result is a
series Of revelations which indicates
that there is looseness of system and
inefficiency in the safeguards"
Country life has its drawbacks but
it has its great advantages which ov-
ercomc them. True, those who live in
the country are ''Rubes" and Farm
ers' and "hayseeds" to the cigarette
smokers in town, but the boast of the
business men in the world today is that
they were born on farm Take away
the surrounding evils that beset the
young men or women on the threshold
of life's journey in the city, and sub
stitute the helpful influence of nature,
and you fortify them for the sterner
walks in life. The few things which
they do not know about table etiquette
and when it is proper to leave two visit
ing cards and when but one, they will
catch onto much quicker than city boys
and girls will learn to properly stoke
the furnace or make good bread. No
| boy or girl need be ashamed of living on
the farm, for if they have taken adj
want age of what it has offered they are
we'll fortified for after life.
