A Talk on Advertising from
TIE STAR

AlcAdLu0I LII OI0dG WdS D0lng SHOWN the lJOr-l
dian knot. 1T can't be united, they told him: "eyery
man that tried to do it fell down"
But Alexander was not discouraged because the
rest had hunked. He simply realized that he would
have to go at it in a different way. And instead OF
wasting time with his fingers he drew his sword and
saShed it apart.
Every day a great business general is shown
some knot which has proven too much for his COM
petitors, and he succeeds because he finds a way to
cut it. The fumbler has no show so long as there
Is a brother merchant who doesn't waste time trying
to accomplish the lmpossible-who takes lessons
from the failures about him and avoids the methods
which were their downfall.
The knottiest problems in trade are:
1.-The problem of location.
2-7he problem of getting the crowds.
3-7he problem of keeping the crowds.
n4-The problem of minimizing fixed expenses.
'5-The problem of creating a valuable good will.
None of these knots is going to be united by
fumbling fingers. They are too complicated.
They're all involved ogether-twisted and entan-
gled over and about each other-so intertwined
that they can't be solved singly-like the Gordian
knot, they must be cut through at one stroke. And you
can't cut the knot with any sword except the news
paper-because:
IA store that is constantly before the people
makes its own'neighborhood.
21Crowds can be brought from anywhere by
daily advertising.
3-Cust0mers can always be held by inducements.
4Fixed expenses can only be reduced by in
creasing the volume of sales.
5-Good-wiH can only be created through publicity
Advertising is breeding new giants every year.
and making them more powerful every hour. Pub
licity is the sustaining food of a powerful store and
the only strengthening nourishment for a aOeok one.
The retailer who delays his entry into advertising
must pay the penalty of his representation by
facing more giant competitors as every month of
opportunity slips by.
Personal ability as a close purchaser and as a
clever seller doesn't count for a hang SO long as
other men are equally we'll posted and wear the
sword of publicity to boot. They are able to tie
YOUR business into constantly closer knots, while
YOU cannot retaliate because there is no knot which
their advertising cannot cut for them.
Yesterday you lost a customer-today they
took one-tomorrow they'll get another. You can
not cope with their competition because you
haven't the weapon with which to oppose it. You
can't unite your Gordian knot because it can't
he untied-youVe got to CIT it.
You must become an advertiser or you must
nav the penalty of incompetence.
You not only require the newspaper to fight for
a more hopefM tomorrow, but to keep toddyS situation
from becoming hopeless.

gathered in a shining shower Of ST.

little speech to Aunt Hannah.
Then the present tourist camera
came into action, and Aunt Hannah
was taken with her big white apron
on by at least dozen amateurs. Then
there were other snapshots, TOOTH
Gle Ezra in his overalls, the great pep
per tree, the disabled engine, the per.
spring conductor, and even old Dob
bin himself.
The old lady from Iowa and the
young lady from Boston insisted upon
helping with the dishes, and there en-.
sued merry clatter from the kitchen.
Some Of the young folks gathered
around Aunt Hannah's parlor organ
and sang old Gospel hymns, or looked
over Aunt Hannah's plush-covered pho
tograph album on the marble-topped
center table.
At last the conductor wiped bis
streaming brow and shouted AL

fh party was over. There were bur.

Aunt Hannah, looking and feeling
twenty years younger, stood on the
porch and watched the long train as It
got into motion and slowly pulled out
waving her white apron in response to
a score of waving handkerchiefs, and
could scarcely see them for the tears
which dimmed her kind eyes.
And thus she stood as the long train
entered the cut and slowly disappeared
from view.

Two Types Of Biographical Writing.
1t is an interesting fact in the his
tory Of literary genius that two of the
great examples Of biographical writing
occur almost side by side. Less than q
decade separates the completion OF
Johnson's Lives of the Poets from
the publication of his own life by Bos-
well. Yet with the latter book new
type Of biography came into being.
johnson, In the main. had, like most OF
his predecessors, followed simple mar
rative and expository method, preflxing
plain story OF the poets life to a sys-
tematic account Of his character and a
critical estimate OF his works. He gath
cred his facts and impressions together
and spoke for the author and for him
self. Boswell, on the other hand, max
ing use of q more dramatic method,
succeeded in his attempt to let the au.
thor reveal himself, and, instead OF an
exposition of character. painted a pic
ture OF personality to which his own
comments were subordinate. What we
see az type Of mind and character In
Johnson's work we see as a living man

LIST curiosity at every little common

For this was a trainload Of brand-new
tenderfeet from the far East, most of
whom were stepping upon California
soil for the first time in their lives.
Aunt Hannah was radiant and over
flowing with hospitality. Before ten
minutes had passed she had discovered
an old lady from her own town In
Iowa, and a. young lady from Boston
who had known a second cousin OF
Ezra's first wife's nephew or some such
near relative. Aunt Hannah was In her

yard under the great dropping pepper

around and asked highly intelligent
questions of every official they could

train stood powerless to. move. On
accustomed rivulets of perspiration
trickled down the portly conductors

concealed Impotence.

banded. I'll fry every egg on the

AFTER LONG YEARS.

Dear, whom I would not know
If / passed you on the street,
So long and long and long ago
Are the days when we used to meet,
You may be glad to hear
That somewhere out of the blue
Come vague sweet dreams that bring you
near,
That l often think Of you;
That now and then thrill
At a rustic in the dark;
That start as The wind sweeps over the
hill,
As 1 see the fire-fy's spark.
Somebody stepped on my graveF
Or somebody slipped out of yours?
I cannot tell! There are ghosts that
crave
A bit of the love that endures.

The young lady from Boston tied on
Aunt Hannah's very best white apron,
beautifully ironed and smelling OF old
fashioned lavender, and carried plates
and cups and forks and spoons out to
the waiting travellers under the great
pepper tree.
And when Amt Hannah's famous
coffee began to send forth its enticing
fragrance, one by one the men came,
too, standing around looking sheepish-
" expectant.
They sat on the porch steps and
waited patiently for empty cups. Then
the big pan Of dougtnuts went around,
and generous slices Of Aunt Hannah's
fresh bread and golden butter and de-
licious dabs Of Aunt Hannah's finest
jellies and preserves
The two dozen eggs did not last long,
but Aunt Hannah helped out with crisp
slices Of home cured bacon, which, as

Observation-Disclosures


Dear me, Ezra!" said good Aunt
Hannah, II do wish something would
happen! Land o. liberty! I get SO aw-
full tired Of this monotonous life-not q
single neighbor less than mile away
an not a chick or child at home,
ought to be ashamed to complain, and
am! But l do wish something would
happen right here in front of our house
Something to look att"
Aunt Hannah, good soul, little
dreamed that before three hours had
passed something would happen.
The one great event in her monoto-
nous life was the daily passing OF
the overland passenger trains. which
brought their eager tourists to Califor-
mia or carried home returning wander
ers back toward the rising sun.
In Aunt Hannah's daily. life this sim
pie passing Of the trains grew to be an
event Of Importance. She could catch
tantalizing glimpses Of women's fair
faces and the laughing eyes Of little
children as the Overland flashed By,
not three rods from her own front door.
Sometimes she waved a snowy dish
towel at them as they rushed past, and
looked wistfully after them till the
long cut hid the curving train.
But on this particular day Aunt
Hannah's heart almost stood still In
her ample bosom For the Overland
came into sight. running more and more
slowly, and finally coming to a labor
ing, clanking stop almost at her very
door.
Such thing had never happened be-
fore, and Aunt Hannah was filed with
wordless excitement. Something had
happened at last! Uncle Ezra was STIR
ring around near the house, keeping a
watchfuf eye upon old Dobbin, the
white horse, which was patiently walk
ing never-ending miles in the treadmill
which pumped water for the house and
garden and the neighboring orchard Of
young orange trees.
Aunt Hannah speedily Informed him
Of the great event, and Uncle Ezra, as
wonder filled as she, walked down to
the railroad track to see what might
be wrong.
Aunt Hannah. from the porch, heard
him say Hospitality to the conductor !:
"Why, yes, we've got telephone. Come
r1ght In an use It."
And in few moments that won
derful creature the blue uniformed,
brassrbuttoned conductor Of the Over

this makes it impossible to arrange q
field Of stars that Is perfectly balanced.
In order to obviate this difficulty 1t has
been suggested that the stars be placed
in circle, so that no matter how many
new States and stars are destined to
apply for a place In the future they
could all be provided for by the simple
expedient Of adding consultations to
the end on the circular line. This is
radical departure that has found
