The Local Paper.
The Best Medium the Retailer
Can Use to Advertise III and
Keep Himself Abreast With
the Times---Opportunities
Always Appreciated.

In an address before a body OF re-
tailers recently Wesley A. Stranger,
editor of the office Outftter Chicago,
said of the value OF the local news
paper:
The local newspaper is the greatest
thing the retailer has if he will use it
right, but a large proportion are too
prone to believe that the editor will take
care OF their interests whether they look
after it or not. This is wrong. If mer-
chants as aclass would only take advan-
tage Of the opportunities that the local
newspapers afford them they would
reap rewards far beyond their fondest
dreams.
While self preservation is the first law
Of nature, editors Of local papers have a
habit OF letting self interests go to the
limit when it comes to question OF sew
ing a community. For this they are
entitled to recognition, which they rarely
receive
No doubt the retailers have encouraged
them as far az sentiment goes. They
have undoubtedly said they approved the
editors methods and called him good
boy" but in how many cases have they
fallen short in the real encouragement
that counts? How often have they neg
lected to use his columns. thinking that
they were clever in it! In failing to pat
ronize him they have often killed the
goose that laid the golden egg.
You must get behind the local editor
and push for all you're worth. He gives
you dollars back for every dollar you
invest with him He furnishes for you
at his own expense one of the biggest as
sets you possess-the medium through
which to let the people know what you
have to sell Within recent years the
mail order proposition has been some
what bothersome The editors of the
country papers have done more than all
other influences combined to win your
business back into normal channels and
to revert the trading
Do not let it be said in your commu-
nifty that you have let your editors work
go unappreciated. Use his paper Make
him prosperous and yourself rich III
doing it. If you have foolish ideas about
the nOnprOdcutiveness Of newspaper ad-
vertisng throw them away and try it out.
One try will prove nothing, but the
constant use of the paperin an intelligent
manner will produce results.
The best friend the buiness man has in
the world, next to his wife, is the local
newspaper, and if he dosen't get full
value for its friendship it is his fault; not
the EDITORS. The editor Of the average
so called country paper has done more
to upbuild his own town and the retail
ers in it than all other influences com
bined, and it also follows that as an al
most unbroken rule he is the least appre-
ciated person in his community.

COLLARS LARGER
THAN EVER BEFORE
| fashionable Sleeves LOnQ
and Fit Tight.

New York, Oct Sin the new
styles the collars or revers are lar
ger than ever They are called Robes
pierre and are more often made of
satin than of velvet
The cuffs match in size and usual
ly they, as well as the collars, are
triple. 1t is possible for this reason
that satin has taken the place of vel
vet, and it is softer, and even three
thicknesses of it will lie flat against
the chest.
The triple cuffs reach half way
to the elbow and are often bound
with the cloth. They are held togeth-
er at the back with huge satin but
tons, from which spread out at
tached satin buttonholes held down
with silk soutache.
Satin buttons are widely used to
fasten the coats. They do not wear
out any more quickly than buttons
of braid and are much more effective
The new ones are larger than any
we have worn for two decades, All
of them are not plain. Many are
heavily embroidered, even for severe
cloth street suits.

four terms and then elected himself
United States Senator
Mrs Joseph Emerson Brown was a
faithful wife and mother. Old Joe
posed as a Cincinnatus of the pople.

of politicians and was actually found
in a wheat field swinging a cradle
when the committee on notification,

1
dignitaries being present, Mrs. Brown
| appeared in the parlor with an infant
| in her arms The women were terri

| all the men bowed down to the mo-
| Their in honest admiration of her
| courage in nursing little Josey, while
| the straight-lacers scowled. The
| Governor cared nothing for the sit
uation. He was as plain and matter
| of fact as his better seven eighths, anC
frequently paused in the midst of the
| festivities to pat the infant on the
head
| Exactly half a century later little
| Josey is elected Governor of Georgia

Straus for A Guarantee.
(The New York Times.)

Nathan Straus, chairman of the
business mems committee of the
Democratic national committee, is
warmly in favor of a national guar
antee of saving bank deposits. He
pointed yesterday to the recent fail
ure OF two small East Side banks and
the plight OF the dapositors rs an OBJ
ject lesson Of What evil is being
wrought by lack OF a guarantee for
suce deposits
The weeping women and children
on the East Side, said MIR. Straus,
present to my mind the strongest
possible argument in favor of the
guarantee Of deposits as advocated by
Mr. Bryan. If he had been President
the failure of these banks would have
been impossible"
The attention of MFR Straus was
called to the fact that Federal legis-
lation couldn't possibly be passed to
effect such Institutions as the little
private East Side banks which closed
their doors.
How, then, could Mr.. Bryan pre-
vent their failure" Mr.. Straus was
asked
"Weu, Mr. Bryan would have found
a way TO prevenl it somehow Mr..
Straus replied when the appeal is
to the heart, legal technicalities
should not be permitted TO become OBJ
stacles. It's all very we'll to talk
about the inability of the law to reach
these evils, but If YOU go down into
those streets. the cries of these wo-
heart. and if there is any humanity
left in you, you will start out to brush
aside these obstacles and get through
a law that will be effective.
of course, all the big bankers who
don't want to give the guarantee will
be against such bill. The rich al
ways have the best of it They have
their lawyers and can fight; the poor
can't help themselves. Every time
there is q fight on | am for the under
dog. II | had all the money people
say l have I'd go down there and pay
them off
But you don't charge these failures
to the Roosevelt administration dc
your"
Il don't say that these failures are
chargeable to the Roosevelt admins
tration, but ! Go say that if Mr.. Bryan
is elected this won't happen. The
poor people get the worst of it every
| time.
'If Mr.. Bryan is elected will all the
unemployed be put to work. Mr.
| Straus was asked.
| Only God can do that, the mer-
chant replied, but think that Mr.
Bryan will do his best"

Baraca-What Ii Means.

layman Il refer to Baraca, popular
in the Sunday school world, to de-

who not only study the Bible, but who
