Many of our exchanges are pub
fishing etiquette rules for phone
use. We would like to add one.
If you happen to hear something
over the phone that is not meant
for you, it is not best to repeat 1t.
That plan to reverse the ad-
dress on all mail matter, putting
the state first, looks like good one
and ole that would be a great as
sistance to the mail clerks, but
habit is so strong that it would
take some time and mucl printers
Ink to put 1t in general use.
Why is it, a careless seven year
old kid can drop half burned
match in an alley and burn up all
the barns in a block, while an able
bodied man has to use up whole
box Of matches to get a wood fire
started in a heater that has draft
enough to draw all the furniture up
the stove pipe?
Some newspaper men are terri
bic liars. Ia writing Of cyclone
out west one of them said it turned
a we'll inside out, a cellar upside
down, moved a township line, blew
the slaves out Of a whiskey barrel
and left nothing but bung hole,
| changed the day of the week, blew
a mortgage off a farm, blew all the
cracks out Of a fence and knocked
the wind out politician.
"A word to you sonny you little
twelve or thirteen-year- old boy who
is smoking cigarettes on the sly.
What do you want to be when you
grow up-a stalwart, healthy, vigor-
Gus, broad-shouldered man, or a
little, puny, measly, no count
weakminded dude? If you want to
be a man, strong like man, with
hair on your face, brains in your
head and muscles in your limbs,
you just let those cigarettes alone.
If you want to be thing, pitied
by your folks, despised by the girls,
and held in contempt by the fellow,
keep right on smoking and end
your days in the insane asylum.
Most business men admit that
advertising pays. Most of them are
willing to see what they can do
with reference to developing adj
vertising that is attractive and pro
fitable. Some think they will daddle
a little here and there to see what
they can make out of the business
they have been conducting for years
with more or less success. Every
business man has some ideas which
would help him in making a success
of his business. There are reasons
why a given plan should produce
given results. The difficulty with
many advertising campaigns is that
there is no definite purpose to help
make the thing go. There is no
way to keep the merchants enthu-
siasm stirred up to the point which
would make it successful. If the
advertiser has the plan he will be
able to make enthusiasm for his
own encouragement until he has
reason to believe success is IN
sight. There is no better way to
attract attention than to have the
enthusiasm, and there is no better
way to start the enthusiasm than
to put the good plan into execution
and to make that plan develop into
the real success.
did you ever known that we
know about what kind Of candy
many of the people here in the city
eat?" asked pretty clerk in candy
store, of reporter, this morning.
well, that is true. | mean that
when we see person enter store
we know just about what kind of
candy he or she is going to buy.
when the girls come in after ice
cream, we can guess accurately just
what kind they will select. There
are many who ask for one kind and
never think Of selecting any other.
Then there are others who ask for
different variety of Ice cream
every time they call. There are
many patrons of the store who call
regularly for candy. 1t seems to
be a part of their regualrldiet. In
this way we are able to tell just
what kind they want before they
call for it. It is much easier, how
ever, to know what kind of ice
cream and fiavors they are going to
call for" The conversation was
