IN ADVERTISING A CITY
Up-to-Dste Methods Must Be Elm
 pIoyed to Bring Capital.

Tn this day of progress and of ad- vertising. not alone do business firms realize the importance of publicity, but municipalities find it essential to tell the world of advantages they possess for the homeseeker and those seeking business locations
 X few years ago. the city of St Louis commenced the raising of fund of $i00,000 for the purpose of ad- vertising in the newspapers and maga- zines, by pamphlet and otherwise. the growing importance of St. Louis. Den yer. Col, raised fund of Sf00 GOO which was employed in general adver- Using and the paving of lecturers to visit various parts of the country with stereopticon views showing pie torially the industries of Colorado The business men of Kansas City re- gently inaugurated campaign to call the attention Of the world to the great resources of that town and the trib- utary country. Tn Kansas City sign boards are used freely to tell of the many things that Kansas City posses ses and which are not possessed by other cities The visitor to the town is impressed by the information con- veyed to him from these sign boards. Such striking statements as Do you know that beans are cheaper in Kan gas City than in Boston? They are It Is fact Flour Is cheaper in Kan sas City than in Minneapolis" Other sign boards tell by comparison that taxes per thousand dollars of valua- ton are lower in Kansas City than in numerous other cities, and attention is called to the number of miles of fine boulevards in the city
 Another means employed is the use of full page advertisements in tic daily papers of the leading citizens. These advertisements are carefully prepared presenting various maps, showing the advantage the country possesses over other cities in differ ent industrial lines.
 It appears that this plan of adver- Using can be most successfully fol lowed out by the enterprisins men of any city. In the smaller towns where there are not great opportunities for manufacturing, advertising to the peo- pie showing the benefits to be derived from patronage of home institutions could be profitably carried or. There is no town so small but that it can be helped by judicious advertising Every town wherein weekly paper is published there is means of giV- ing publicity to the advantages pos sessed by the place. The home paper Is one of the most telling and force ful advertisements any town can have Every advertisement of a home insti tuition speaks for the enterprise of the place, and to strangers illustrates the spirit and enterprise that is pos sessed by the people. It is always well to bear in mind that seekers for homes and for business locations never pick out the dead towns. A small town where the people are enterpris- ing often holds forth to the prospec- tive settler greater opportunities than do the larger cities.

Are Amenable to Reason.

Farmers are usually amenable to reason, the same as any of the rest of the human race They do not buy of peddlers or catalogue houses be- cause they want to snub their own home town and home merchants, but because the article is brought par tieularly to their notice, embellished with a flow of convincing language calculated to impress them at once with the superior merits Of the article so presented and with the alleged fact that they are saving considerable money by buying in that way.
 The fact that the article is not SUI perior and is really considerably higher priced does not appear, for the reason perhaps, that the local dealer has never taken the trouble to adver- tise his wares, or has never called the farmers into his store and shown them the article, made comparisons between it and the peddled article and showed them that he, the dealer, is actually the one who is saving them money, not only in the first cost, but in repairs and wearing qualities as well
 There is too much of disposition on the part of most dealers to take it for granted that their customers or those who might and should be their customers-know all about their stock, it's qualities and-prices, as com pared with those that may be put up to them by the peddler or the mall order man. Instead, they should make it their business to throw hood ol light on these questions at every op- portunity. In other words they should advertise, in the way that their judg- ment and experience dictate, or Tn various ways. so there will be no exl cuse, at least. for any possible GUS toner remaining in ignorance.

Spokes and Tires.

John D Rockefeller has one virtue which even his greatest critics won't deny him: He doesn't affect public dinners. The secret of this abstinence he recently confded to his family physician.

 But you don't have to eat at such feasts." protested the doctor.
 "rm aware of that" replied J. D., "but you do have to sit through the speeches. and if there's anything I dread it's that sort of thing. To my mind an after-dinner speech is like a bicycle wheel; the longer the spoke the greater the tire

Death Duties on Harry Barnato's
Estate, So, 5000
cial Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, December 5.-The death of
Harry Barnato. whose estate is estimated
at $25,OOO,Om, is a fortunate windfall.
which is much needed by the chancellor
of the exchequer. Harcourt'S famous
death duties laid heavy toll on big es-
tates. but the finance act OF 1907 was
merciless regarding these big fortunes.
Indeed the complaint that it approaches
confiscation seems justified when it is
realized that Barnato's. estate in one way
or another will be mulcted to the extent
of nearly one-fifth. The death duties
will amount to $3.o00.0OO, being 10 per
cent on the first million sterling and in
case of estates of three million sterling
and upward IL per cent of the remainder
The legacy duty and succession duty will
amount to some S1.000,000.
The late Lord Glenesk's estate will make
another large contribution to the public
funds. His income from the Morning
Post is believed to have been from $780,
coo to 100000 year.

terly contested republican primary cleo
ton for circuit judge and commemorative
attorney in the twenty-seventh judicial

Faulkner for circuit Judge Of the district
which embraces the counties Of Clay
Laurel, Knox and Whitley. T. c. Cloyd

that IT was hardly thought possible the
election would pass without clash.
The republican nomination is equivalent

done by Capt Douglas. Crawford, Black

keep it clean from fouls and unduly
rough play.
