Personal Advertisinq.

Advertising of the proper kind al.
ways pays, whether it is by circular,
letter, billboard or the columns of the
rscal paper The newspapers are by
far the best mediums and the least
expensive in the long run. Yet it may
be not amiss to back up your news
paper advertising with circulars now
and then, or better STILL by letters.
Merchants in small towns sometimes
labor under the impression that they
are well known to all in the communi-
ty; that there is little need of adver-
tising as there is only so much trade
to be had and it will naturally drift
their way. This reasoning is wrong.
Itsmatters not if Mr.. John Jones visits
your store daily, he will appreciate
getting letter from you calling his
attention to some new things that
perhaps he has been studying up in
the mailorder house catalogue. It is
a pretty good idea to spend a few dol
lars in special advertising every time
you get in stock anything new and
salable. Dollars spent in advertising
are never lost if good judgment is ex-
ercised in the construction of the
notice

USING SHOW WINDOWS.
Arrangement Of. Goods to Attract At.
tention Is Not to Be Neglected.

Many grocers consider 1t useless to
display stocks in windows for the pur.
pose of attracting attention. The
same ones will carelessly stack up out.
side heaps of perishable goods, and
fail to even use mosquito netting to
keep the flies off. One of the most
prosperous groceries in a large city
in the west made rapid progress from
a small stand to a big concern in a few
years. 1t was the neatness of the
place and the display of the goods, and
the promptness in looking after orders
that built up the business. This, at
least, is what is claimed by the owner.
One Of the notable things about the
place is that there is nothing displayed
outside the store unless the same is in
a case. The show windows, one each
side Of the door, are as carefully fixed
up two or three times a week as the
windows of a fashionable dry goods
store. One display will be of a certain
kind of canned goods on which the
grocer is making a run. Cans will be
artistically arranged in pyramids,
mony in the color arrangement Of the
labels. Later a display of olives,
products, bacon, hams, sausages, lard,
catsups, condiments of all kinds, will
be arranged. Everything is season.
able. When the berries begin to ar
rive these are displayed in the wins
dows, and sometimes the windows
made to hold whole stocks. While in
one window there may be display of
canned goods, in the other will be ar.
tistically arranged a line of meat
and complete assortments of the goods
of some well-known house. Neatness
and cleanliness are the two principal
things to be observed in the grocery
window display There should be am
pie protection from flies and insects.
1t is necessary that changes be made
frequently. And let the arrangement
of the goods in the store correspond
we'll with the show made in the win
dows.

banks. The trust companies are load
ed down with trust money from all
sections of TIE land These vast
sums must be employed In a way that
will pay interest. Financiers devise
means for investment A dozen con-
Germs are amalgamated, combined into
one mammoth concern, and the money
for the purpose is the money of the
people Of the country at large who
send it to the large cities through diff
ferent channels. Here we find trust
built up that works to the detriment
of the farmer and the masses of the
land, and operated by the dollars that
were supplied by the very people op-
pressed by it.
There is one cure, and one cure
only for capital concentration That
is n strict adherence to simple home
trade principles. Keep in each COM
munity to the greatest extent all the
earnings of the people of that commu-
nifty. The withdrawal of capital from
a section impoyerishes it just so much.
1t takes away the means of establish
ing new industries for the employment
Of the people. Thus are towns re-
tarded in their upbuilding, and real
estate values are kept from advanc-
ing The home market for the farm
ers' products is destroyed, and every
interest and every person in the COM
munity suffers from the effects.
Thus it can be seen how vital it is
to the masses to understand that any
system of business that draws from
community the surplus earnings of the
people and takes away the legitimate
profits that should go to its trades
men, is a system worthy of condemna-
ton. Cannot these questions be dis
cussed openly before the farmers and
the other laborers? Is there any argyll
ment that cannot be well sustained?
Is there an intelligent farmer who
would not do some substantial think
ing when it is shown to him that he
is working directly against his own
financial interests when he patrOnizes
other than home stores and home in
stitutions?

Business Methods Changing.

Merchants should consider we'll all
phases of any proposition that will
eventually work to their detriment.
Year after year conditions are chang
ing. The retailer is finding the screws
becoming little more tightened.
There is bound to be a reaction. Re-
bates in the way of railroad rates, in
the way of trade in general. are being
pretty well aired by the government.
The time is not far distant when the
interests of the consumers and the re-

For the carrying oGt OF these purposes

OF such elementary virtues as honesty,

who yves his election to pandering to dem

~SRnctity of the Court.
The courts hold a place OF peculiar and
deserved sanctity under our form of gov
eminent. Respect for the law is essential
to the permanence Of our institutions; and
respect for the law is largely conditioned
upon respect for the courts. 1t is an Of
tense agains the republic to say anything
which can weaken this respect, save for
the gravest reason and in the most care
fully guarded manner. Our judges should
be held in peculiar honor; and the duty
Of respectful and truthful comment and
criticism, which should be binding when
we speak OF anybody. should be especially
binding when we speak of them. On an
an average they stand above any other
servants of the community. and the great
est judges have reached the high level held
by those few greatest patriots whom the
| whole country delights. to honor. But we
! must face the fact that there are wise and
unwise judges, just as there are wise and
unwise executives and legislators. When
I a president or a governor behaves inn
properly or unwisely. the remedy is easy,
for his term is short; the same is true
with the legislator. although not TO the
same degree, for he is one of many who
belong to some given legislative body. and
1t is therefore less easy to fix his personal
responsibility and hold him accountable
therefor. With a judge, who, being human.
is also likely TO err, but whose tenure is
for life. there is no similar way of hold
ing him to responsibility. Under ordinary
conditions the only forms OF pressure to
which he IL IN any way amenable are, pub
lie opinion, and the action of his fellow
Judges. II is the last which is most i'm
mediately effective. and to which we
should look for the reform OF abuses. Any
remedy applied from without is fraught
with risk. 1t is far better. from every
standpoint, that the remedy should come
from within. In no other nation In the
world do the courts WELD such vast and
far-reaching power as in the United States
All that is necessary is that the courts
as a whole should exercise this power witt
the far-sighted wisdom already shown by
those judges who scan the future while
they act in the present. Let them exercise
this great power not only honestly and
bravely. but with wise insight into the
needs and fixed urposes OF the people. SO
thai they may do justice, and work equity

their rights. and yet break down the bar
