James E. McGann and Thomas Hor- ace Sullivan had a dinner together day before yesterday and it was said that the planets had come together before the planetary conditions had contrib uted to the crisis. There are some who say that the gentlemen were discuss ing the Martin administration.
 Who remembers not the days when McGann and Sullivan were not at odds In politics? Like heroes of old they fought for years in the Third ward.

DOES ADVERTISING. PAY?

The California Fruit Growers Asso
citation, working in conjunction with
the Union Pacific Railway, determin,
ed upon a publicity campaign to get
people to buy oranges. The fruit
growers wanted an enlarged market
and the railroad wanted a long haul
to the market, SO together they
bought newspaper space to tell
Iowans of California oranges. The
first shipment of oranges comprised a
full train and the fruit found a ready
market. A second train of twenty
five cars brought more than the mar
ket price. Iowans this year increased
their consumption of oranges by 20
per cent over any year preceding.
The people were satisfied with the
fruit, the Union Pacific was satisfied
with its returns from the freight
charges, and the growers were well
pleased with the prices which
lr6h brought. All three got their
moneys worth AMI the railroad and
the association have their principal
expended in advertising back in their
pockets and along with it the reward
of enterprise.
But the profit is not all accounted
for yet. Interest on the original ad-
vertising outlay will be collected by
the railroad and the fruit growers for
years to come.
Does advertising pay? No practi-
cal man of affairs presumes any long
err even to consider the question one
of debatable nature.-Racine wis

Plenty of water is a great blessing.
This is brought home to every Pales-
tineite now, since there is not water
enough to sprinkle the streets and
lawns. One good woman says she is
going to make the water company pay
for the damage done her yard and
flowers. Please don't. The water
company has troubles enough now.
They should be congratulated rather
than censured, in that they have done

stances. If the company had not had

think what a fix the town would now

RETURNS DOLLARS FOR DIMES.

when it became known that a man
standing at Second and Main streets
who was supposed to be a beggar,
was giving a dollar to every person
who responded to his appeal for aims
there was a quick opening of purses
and a scramble to aid the needy. The
man was soon out of dollars.
The supposed beggar appeared at
the corner about nine o'clock at
night. He stopped number of men,
plaintively asking for the price OF a
meal. Some passed on without no.
ticing him, and others roughly told
him to go to work or hunt up the
free soup kitchen. At last one per-
son gave the man a dime.
Immediately the mendicant drew
out a dollar.
"Take this he said. "You gave
me a dime. III give you a dollar.
When the urchins about the corner
learned what had happened they
flocked to the rich beggar and show
cred him with offers of assistance.
In a very few minutes the man's
resources were exhausted and he de-
parted. hummirg to himself.
