Came Into Use.

When the motor car began to come
into use, the teaming interests of the
world weer strong. They berated the
automobile In unmeasured terms
said that it was menace to the pub
lie and to the horse; that it endan-
gered life and limb; in fact advanced
every argument against it that from
time immemOrial has been advanced
against the advent of every great in
Lvention or civilizing influence.

Procedure Settled.

1t is probable that there have new
er been new Government offices start
ed with their procedure so fully and
definitely outlined as that for the six
district Offices of the Forest Service
in the West. 1t has been possible
to start all the offices well equipped
with men with both the training and
experience to take up the work. A
large proportion of them are men
who have formerly been in charge Of
National Forests and who have pro-
noted to higher positions as the d.
rect result of their efficiency. AL
the District officers are familiar with
Western conditions; many of them
were born in the West and lived there
before and after they entered the
Government Forest work.

Macadam Roads.

No better macadam roads a5e built
in France than can be and are built
in this country but the maintaining of
these roads is attended to with the
utmost care, and for that reason the
highways are invariably in such
splendid condition that they excite
the envy of American visitors.

The Six Districts.

The six districts which have the
same boundaries as the old inspec-
ton districts will be in charge of six
district foresters with headquarters
in Denver, Colo; Ogden, Utah; Al
buquerque, N. Mex; Missoula, Mont !;
San Francisco, CAL; and Portland,
Oregon. For nearly year prepara-
ton for the district organization has
been going quietly but steadily for
ward. This has thrown an additional
burden upon force already excess
sively busy, but the work has been
accomplished on time. The transit
ton has been particularly remark
able because il involved no ma
terial delay in the transaction of Ma
tional Forest business while the
change was going on

Hotel de Vile.

Vile the visitors were also treated
to scenes of splendor foreign to
American ideas of simplicity. A reg
iment of the picturesque uniformed
Chasseurs of the French army were
detailed to stand at attention, one
on either end of every step of the
grand marble staircase down which
the delegates passed; and thence i'll
double rows to the state dining rooms
and grand salons. Gratifying and i'm
pressive as were these examples of
almost royal hospitality, the chair
man of the American delegation
found more of interest in the perfec-
ton of the system of roads with
which the Republic is provided, and
in the systematic method of main
tanning them to the highest degree
of efficiency. He was. told that on
the magnificent road leading from
Paris to Versailles 5000 automobiles
pass either way on each fine day, but
he noted that it was in such perfect
condition that it was practically as
dustless as the carefully swept as
phalt street of a large city.

Loud and Lustv Advertlslnu.

There can be seen every once in a
while the front of some erstwhile dig
nified store plastered with flaming red
signs, announcing unheard-of bargains,
tremendous reductions, sensational
disastrous, ruinous cuts in price, and
the rest of the well-worn expressions
so common to the cheapest grade of
stores. 1t seems that a merchant
is extremely apt to succumb to the
wiles of the man who believes In ad-
vertising through a megaphone and
with bucket of red paint. What man
has the most infiuence-the man with
the loudest voice? What friend gives
advice which is heeded-the man with
the heaviest tone, who yells in your
ear and enforces 1t with crazy gestic-
ulations? Does the man who exag-
gerates extravagantly claim faith and
trust the most? Advertising is right
and proper, but advertising with such
methods is cheapening and harmful.
1t appeals to the senses in the wrong
way

"oLD GLORY"
The Name Was First Given the Flag
by the Volunteers In Mexico.

The question often is asked: How
did our national flag come by the now
universal appellation of "Old Glory?"
An old soldier in the National Tribune
says on this point; 1T is desirable to
state July 4, 1886, the First Ohio vol
unteers atloat on the Mississippi,
bound for Mexico, honored the day
with much enthusiasm. Among those
called upon for addresses was the
gifted and eloquent Brig. Gen. Thomas
l.. Hamer, who was particularly eu-
logistic of the glorious banner of
freedom Amid the great applause
aroused an enthusiastic son of Old
Erin impulsively exclaimed, :Hurrah
for Ould Glory This caught popular
fancy, and was afterward heard amid
many battle scenes"

goods as they arrive and as they go
out when the orders are filed are most
essential. Stock should be kept in
such a way that the merchant does
not have to waste considerable time
before being able to know whether
he has any need of any line to fill
stocks.
One excellent way in which the
country merchant can keep his ideas

In the home town one can never get
away from the practices of his fellow
tradesmen, unless he benefits by ex.
periences had elsewhere. In strange
place we are of the gazing crowd.
and we see things from a different
point Of view than when at home.
Some criticism may point out a
fault that We have been guilty Of a
hundred times and never noticed, and
criticism of a stranger sometimes
forces us to realize that we can i'm

profit by the suggestion.
A country town storekeeper may
learn much in city but much of IL
may be little suited to rural condi

some lessons from progressive mem
bers of his own class. Remember
that there are many who can excel
us in some ways. If we fail to keep
alive, some more enterprising COM
petitor will beat us out.

Working Elephants.

The efforts Of the Congo state au-
thorities to domesticate the African
elephant have brought out some inter-
esting peculiarities Of those animals.
During the wet season, which lasts
four months, the elephants are not
worked, but are turned out into the
forest. Instead, however, of reioining
their d~kin, they seem to keep
apart, as If conscious of the difference
that their training has produced. On
being brought back to their duties
they show no disposition TO shirk their
work. Their presence sometimes at
tracts wild elephants to the vicinity OF
their scene of labors, bat these wild
animals are usually too old and In
tractable to be used as recruits.

IcE.cUTTINo.
In the End the Consumers Are Not
Ones Who Gain Benefit.

The average merchant Is informed
as to the evils of price cutting. He
knows just where to draw the line,
Just how far he dares go in lowering
quotations for the sake of drawing
trade. He realizes that even if the
principle of using leaders" to attract
customers is permissible, 1t is limited
in its usefulness and exceedingly dan
gerous when overdone. Not only is 1t
apt to degenerate into indiscriminate
cutting of prices, to lead to dissatisfac-
tion among customers, and has ten
dency toward giving store cheap
reputation, but it is inclined to arouse
suspicion among other merchants and
the people as well.
While the merchant is so thorough
ly grounded in the matter Of price-cut-
ting, the public has not been so gen.
orally educated There are those who
eXult when store managers are at war
believing that they may profit by the
losses of the competitors. 1t Is just
the old fable of Aesop over again
the lion and the bear fight over the
prey until both are too much exhaust
ed to move, and then the SLY fox comes
along and picks up the dainty and
bears 1t away to eat at his leisure.
The public rejoices over the price
cutting campaigns. 1t profits by them,
and on account of the fact that 1t
has been taught to consider prices
only, it feels justified in taking every
advantage offered 1t.
The store which starts a campaign
of price reduction and bellows and
roars and screams for the sake of
drawing custom, will either go under,
because it has been foolish or be-
cause it has made UP its mind to de-
fraud its creditors, or else 1t sells
! goods which are far lower in merit
and true value than it pretends.
The public loses, but it does not
realize It, If store fails to pay its
creditors, the wholesalers and manu-.
facturers must make their losses good
in some way. If the store seeks to
foist inferior goods upon the public
at a lower price, the public gets what
it pays for, no doubt, but believes
that it has been cheated and robbed,
and comes to have low opinion OF
merchants as a whole. The whole
trouble lies in the fact that the pub
lie, instead of being prey to the
merchant, is really playing into the
hands Of sharpers while seeking too
often, to get the best of the mer.
chants.

Seek To- Attract Attention.

There are many ways in which the
average retailer can get up a cheap
though effectual advertisement. An
advertisement recently put out by a
local concern was cheap one in so far
as the expense of preparing and circu-
lating it was concerned. The fact that
it was a novel one, and one which
brought the subject matter to the very
door of the consumer made 1t good
one. II was the advertisement of a
dye and cleaning concern. The
proprietor Of the concern seemed to
be the owner of very pretty Spitz
dog. He advertised his business
through the medium of this dog. One
day he would be red dog, another
day he would wear a coat of green,
and so on for the various days of
the week. The odd colors attracted
the attention of all at once and in
many cases awakened sympathy. The
dog, as If jealous about his masters
business, had become perfect rover.
so the advertisement was seen about
the town whenever the canine donned
new coat. This Is somewhat
after the idea employed by the man
agement OF large sewing machine
company that uses greyhounds to ad-
vantage .
