FOR SPRING AND SUMMER TRADE
Right Kind of Advertising Brings in
the Customers and Builds Up
Business.

Merchants who get out and present
their lines in the right way are going
to capture the trade. Questions that
the retailers should ask themselves,
are: What am | doing in the way of
advertising? Have | the right kind
of space in my home paper? Have |
the proper style of copy? Have |
spoken to the printer about getting
up the advertisement tastefully and
with border, ETC., and in the right
kind Of type?
Spring goods should be in show win
dows now, and much of all that is
ready for the buyers.
If the merchant uses a page or
half page in the local paper, he should
have the printer lift the form and run
off a thousand or more handbills that
can be circulated about the country.
No use in doing this unless it is the
right kind of advertising. No use In
just saying: Spring goods of all kinds
at Browns" Such won't bring busi-
ness. Give prices, and tell how low
the prices are and how good the goods
are. The advertisement should be so
divided as to give a space to different
kinds of goods, and some good illustra'
tions, and some prices that will talk,
so when the prospective buyers come
they will not be disappointed. Mer-
chants should see that clerks don't lie,
don't misrepresent, and that they treat
every caller courteously. See that de-
liveries of goods are promptly made,
and that in each package there goes
out circular telling of other bargains.
Now should be the merchants harvest
time. Everybody who has money eX-
poets to spend a goodly share of 1t.
Don't neglect advertising right. Tell
your patrons that you can secure Tor
them any kind of goods that they want
if you should happen not to have what
is inquired for in stock. Your jobber
will take special pains to put up a
small order for you if you tell him
that there is need for it, and will try
to assist you all he can. Now is your
harvest time and make the best Of IT.

friendly. He relates how he was done
up by the former agent Then the
traveller turns loose his vials OF wrath.
He accuses the concern represented
by the first agent as a robbing outfit,
and one that should be put out of
business. He gets an order, but the
farmer does not understand that the
goods come from the same concern that
the other agent represented. That
only a different name was used, and
the farmer is on their regular list Of
suckers" The only safe way for
the consumer to do is to patronize
home concerns. His home merchants
are interested in being fair and square.
They know that they must deal hon
estly or they will lose customers
Their percentage of profit is far less
than that made by the box-car con-
cern. Then, again, the principle Of
sending money from the neighborhood
where it is earned is all wrong. 1t Is
against the interests of the consumers
of every class and kind. A lively
home town always affords the best
market There is a saving in freight
rates and commissions to middlemen.

PENALTIES FOR FAILURE TO PhY
Excise Tax in Ohio Never Have Been
Enforced.

Columbus, O.-Battling over the
question of which would be the best
method of exacting revenues for tue
state from the public service corpora
tions doing business in Ohio consumed
much of the time of the Howe inves-
tigating committee. The session WAS
held in the Office of Auditor Of State
Guilbert, and that official was arrayed
against Senator Fred c. Howe, OF
Cleveland chairman of the committee.
Whether bonds should enter into the
taxing value of companies instead OF
stock at it's market value or gross re-
ceipts were the points at issue.
One of the discoveries made was
that no attempt has ever been made
to compel the payment of the excis3
tax under the law by the enforcing Of
the penalties prescribed by the stat
ute Apparently the auditor Of state
has seen fit to assume the RESPONSE
bility for this suspension and has ad.
ministered the law to suit a policy
that is entirely personal

RULES ON ISSUING LICENSES.
Brewery Agents Without Offices Must
Pay Tax, Says Miller.

Columbus, O.-Assistant Attorney
General w. II. Miller rendered two i'm
portant opinions to Auditor Of State
w. D.. Guilbert under the saloon tax
laws.
One question was as to whether a
brewery could sell through an agent
Canvassing from. house and having no
place Of business from which the sues
were made, the brewery delivering The
goods through the agent, without the
agent having taken out a saloon l.
cense.
It is held that the agent must take
out license.
The other question was as TO wheth-
er in case where there is club in the

floor, with a dumb waiter arrange
ment for conveying liquors as needed
in the club from the cafe-the steward
of the club accounting for the liquor

vaIs-a license must be taken out by
the club.
The attorney general holds that the
club must have it's own saloon license
in such a case.

ELECTION BOARD
Accused Of Gross Misconduct in Sena
toriaT Fight in Eighth District.

Columbus, O.-Charges were filed
against the deputy board OF supervi-
sors Of election of Gallia county by
Robert NJ. Switzer, of Gallipolis, with
Secretary of State Carmi A. Thomp-
son, with the request that, if sustained,
the members be removed. They are
charged with malfeasance in office, the
acts complained of growing out of the
dispute between Milton Rathburn, of
Meigs county, and M. A. Beman, of
Gallia county. for the place on the re-
publican ticket as the candidate for
senator in the Eighth district. The
district board recognized Rathburn.
In the specifications it is alleged
that the board adopted resolution re-
flecting upon Thompson as state su-
pervisor of elections. In support of
this specification is an affidavit fur
rished by N. p. Colwell, a member of
the board, who recites that the others
caused it to be published that they had
learned that unless they h2lH the pri'
maries they would be removed by the
secretary of state.

Fifty million dollars annually is the
amount that is conservatively esti-
mated the people of the United States
lose by patronizing fraudulent invest
ment concerns. The government has
been diligently fighting the operations
of all kinds of illegitimate mining COM
panies, bond schemes and the like,
still it is a difficult matter to head off
their operations. The people are anx-
ious to get the greatest returns for
the money they have to invest and
are too desirous of taking a @long
chance" If the masses would only
realize that any investment which is
sound and will pay a fair profit can
easily secure all needed funds for its
operation without calling on the
masses, it would soon drive the fake

picturesque variety of uniform, priests
wearing their black draperies in the

of the high altar with its baldacchino
the twisted bronze columns tower

armament Of the dome above-burn
the golden, never-dying lamps which
mark the resting place, so tradition
says, of the apostle.
But on Palm Sunday the attention
is fixed on the altar in the Cappella
Giulia, and the pressure of the eager
people increases cruelty as the bas-
kets of palms are set down by the
altar stairs and the canons slowly
move to their places. The priests are
in violet, the Lenten color. The deep
hue frightened by wonderful inter-
weaving of gold and silver, and the
crucifix on the altar is also violet
yelled. There is no organ music, and
the deep notes of the chanting swell
with a strange solemnity through the
echoing vaults.
At last the solemn final word and
gesture of blessing have been given,
and one by one the priests lift and
bear away the palm branches. Then
the olive, which is given in their
stead to the people, is brought for
ward in great sheaves, and a priest In
gold-embroidered violet robe holds out
the silvery branches to the hands
which reach and clutch for them, till
I all the nearest of the throng have re-

is that olive to bring to those who

train move in stately procession down

so back to the altar. They bear aloft

Italian Merchant and the Tragedy Re-
calls a Mysterious Crime

Bellefontaine. O.--SaRato-e Cfra,
senior member of the fruit company
Of Salvatore Cira & Co., was shot to
death by his nephew, Charles Demar,
Junior member of the company. After
his arrest Demar told the police that
he shot Cira in self-defense. during

The tragedy recalls the killing last
year of Joe Demar, a cousin of the
prisoner. Demar was shot from am
bush, and the police were unable TO
unravel it because of the tight lips OF
the Italian colony
That Cira was in the plot to kill Joe
is the burden of the story now told by
several of the Italians.
Cira was about As, and prominent
among the Italians of the central
west.

Inexhaustible in its mystic signifi-
canoe, the Holy Week in Rome, how
ever familiar to the memory or inl-
Agination, stirs always renewed
wonder in those who witness it.
Above all else Rome is city Of
memories. The walls and arches of
imperial days, the Renaissance pal
aces, and the churches which mark
every step in the long march from
primitive Christianity to papal SUI
Dremacy-these stamp themselves on
the mind The incongruous modern
elements are as transitory in their
impression as is the whirling dust
from a motor car blown past the
tombs on the Appian Way.
The walls of Aurelian, the statue of
Marcus AUrelius, benignant on the
capitol, the august disarray of the
Forum-these are actual and imperish.
able So, too, is the spacious splen-
dor Of st. Peters, with its solemn
sequence of ritual, in which, as the
Holy Week advances, so mystic and
superb a drama of divinity is en-
acted.
There are many moods in which
to approach the great Easter services
in the great papal city. from that of
the devote to whom the ever-burning
lamps round the apostles tomb mark
= spot only less sacred than that Of
the holy sepulcher itself, to that Of
the casual sight-seer, who flutters his
Baedeker unabashed through the aw-
fui mystery of the mass. Perhaps
those do not see least Of the signif1-
rance who look on the magnificent
ceremonies with haunting conscious
ness Of ROme's twofold greatness, and
who never quite lose sight of the city
of the Caesars in the city Of the
saints.
1t is impossible even to approach
st. Peters, where most of us choose
to see the services, in spite Of the r.
val claims of the Lateran, mother OF
churches-it is impossible to reach
the curving colonnades and mighty
front. without passing by memorials OF
an earlier, hostile life and creed. Per.
haps in driving thither the wandereT
may catch glimpse Of the immortal
pair, the Great Twin Brethren. who
guard In stone the stairs to the capi.
toi. Or, It may be. the shattered, ma
jestic columns Of the temple Of Mars
Ultor have lifted for a moment their
stern memorial of Caesars death ant
Augustus vengeance.
Once within st. Peters, however
conflicting memories fall away, lost
as is all sense of minor faults in the
building itself, in the impression o.
vastness, of an all-enfolding and all
reconciIing hospitality That hospital
