COMMERCIAL CLUB
Organized Monday Night at
Madisonville.

They are going to move things in
the way of development at Madison
vile. A commercial club was or
gained there last Monday night
with fifty members as starter.
Mr.. /. Bailey, leading capitalist,
was the moving spirit. Wonder how
long it will be before the Hopkins
vile commercial club and that of
jacksonville will be colloguing to-
gethor as to what is next? There is
plenty of room FOR both of them to
find something to do.

behind the proposition in dead hard

They say the thing is already an as

In this issue of the Sentinel appears
the call for a special election to be
held on Monday afternoon, June 10

clock, to let the qualified voters of
the school district of which Grand
Junction is the center decide upon
two vital questions. First, prop
osition to issue bonds In the sum of
$4,000 for the purpose of erecting a
new school building and to make an
other Issue of $1,000 worth of bonds
for the purpose of purchasing a site

MEIirtino" With Brook Trout.

If the farmer boy is more successful
in his catch than the city fisherman it
ia because he realizes the advantage
of keeping out of sight. OF course the
supposition is that other conditions are
equal. Familiarity with stream Of
ten has much to do with the size OF
the string. Trout especially love to
hide under wooden bridges, water
soaked logs, branches, etc. They seem
to realize that safety is found in such
places. When the current will not take
the worm to these spots one must re-
sort to "flirt1ng." This is done by
holding the hook In the left hand and
bending the pole until the tension is
sufficient to throw the worm over the
spot. Considerable practice is neces-
sary to make the bait land exactly
where it Is wanted, but flirting" Is an
art we'll worth acquiring.-Circle.

HOW TO ADVERTISE
effective METHODS THAT WILL
BRING RESULTS.
SHOULD TELL THE PRICES
GeneraIities Are Meaningless to the
Publc-Why the Mail-Crder Man
Wins-Try the Plan.

If you, Mr.. Merchant, would compete
with the mail-order houses there are
three main essentials to success-the
goods-the prices-advertising.
The last of these is quite as essen
tial as either Of the others.
In the great majority Of cases the
local merchant has the goods, and he
makes the prices, but in very many
cases he either fails to do the adver.
Using, or what he does do is not effec.
tive in the same way that the mail.
order mans advertising is effective.
The writing of effective advertising
is not an art, it is not business that
requires years of study to learn. A
few hours of study and comparison
will give you every essential detail
that you will need.
1t is comparatively safe to say that
rs per cent. of the advertising carried
by local merchants in the local papers
is worded in generalities only. Such
advertisements as the following are
found in every paper:

PIE BIRDS OF BRITTANY.

They Must Be Pretty Strong, Accord
ing to This Breton Story.
'Speaking of exaggerations," said a
traveller, reminds me Of the pie bird
story Of the Breton farmer.
"There was farmer in Brittany
who wished to tell visitor how his
farm had been overrun with pies. Pies,
you know, are large birds, black and
white, with long tails-a kind Of crow.
The farmer said the pies devastated
his fields horribly. If he put up scare
crows, the birds tore them down. One
day his young son ran into the granite
farmhouse and shouted:
"'Oh, father, hundreds and hundreds
of birds! The wheat is being all eaten
up!
1.-THE farmer loaded his gun. But
where was the shot? 1t couldn't be
found. He put in a few handfuls of
tacks instead. Then he ran out. The
wheatfield was black and white, like a
checkerboard, with pies. The farmer
gave loud yell, and the birds all flew
up into a tall poplar. He fired, and.
10, every bird was nailed fast to the
tree. They were nailed fast. Their
Tapping wings filled the air with a
loud whir. The farmer, amazed, stood
watching them. Then strange thing
happened. The birds, with one grand
united effort, pulled up the huge tree
and flew away with it,

MISTAKEN OCCUPATIONS.
Do Not Continue In a Pursuit For
Which You Are Not Fitted.

Do Not Continue In Pursuit For
Which You Are Not Fitted.
There is, in these alert days of com
petition, Of quick opening and closing
of places where bread may be earned
and a path in which to go forward
secured, no time for doing anything
that one can't or that is of no moment
when accomplished. Know for GER
tainty that never half the harm has
come from a firm and dignitied refusal
to enter upon or to continue in pur-
suit not fitted to one as from engaging
in such pursuits. What loss the world
would have sustained had Handel con-
scented to become lawyer, Turner to
remain a barber, Claude Lorraine
pastry cook, Schiller surgeon, Pascal
a teacher of dead languages, as was
would have been the loss to the world,
the loss to these men themselves would
have been far greater.
Doubtless thousands Of crimes which
have ruined an incalculable number of
lives could be traced to mistaken occu-
pations. Joy and delight in ones work
mean progress, and progress and its
result and satisfaction mean nobler
life than stagnation and partial or en-
tire failure could fashion. Doing the
thing one can is working for morality
and toward perfection on all the
planes Of life, physical, mental, spir-
itual-Lida A. Churchill in the Define

whose sporting experience was limited

Placed by his escort under tree. his
lordship heard the hounds give tongue
In the distance. and the sounds grew
louder and louder till one OF the city
scouts shouted out, 1.-THE hare comes

rose to the occasion. and, drawing his
sword, he exclaimed heroically: LET

not!-Household Words.

should quote in his advertisement
should show the public that he is
giving bargains; they should be prices
that would compare favorably with the
prices of the mail-order catalogues,
and he should impress it upon the
public that he not only shows them
what they are buying before they pay
for it, but that the purchaser has no
freight to pay, and does not have to
wait an interminable time for the
goods he buys, as when ordering of
the mail order houses.
1t is specific advertising that draws.
The advertiser who describes in de-
tail the goods he has to sell, and
quotes the price he asks for it will
attract the favorable attention Of the
public far more often than the one
who deals only in generalities. 1t is
this kind of advertising that pays. 1t
is this kind Of advertising that is at
tracing the dollars from the smaller
cities and towns and farms to the, mail
kind of advertising that drew $780,
000,00 into the Golfers of the Chicago
mail-order houses alone last year, and
it is this kind of advertising on the
part of the local merchants that the
mail-order houses fear more than any
other one thing.
But, Mr. Merchant, whether your
line be hardware, dry goods, groceries,
clothing or other commodities, it is
well to go further than your newspa-
per advertising, though this is the
foundation of success. Go to the local
printer and have him make you little
catalogues of your own. They do not
need to be large affairs, but small
folders of four, eight or 16 pages. Put
into these folders the descriptions and
prices of the goods you are carrying,
or leaders in the line. Be sure that
the prices quoted are right, then put
one of these into the hands of every
customer; keep them circulating
throughout the community, and make
q practice of getting out a new one
every few weeks.
You, Mr.. Merchant, can make adver-
