Where to Advertise.

Those retailers who heard the talk of $. w. Bolles, of the Fuller advertising agency, got some valuable pointers on their busi- ness. Those who missed it will go on doing business, losing money in the same old way by injudiciouS advertising, and then complain that advertising doesn't pay.
 Mr. Bolles has made adver- Using a study for many years. He has reached that condition of knowledge where he is consid- cred an expert. He told the re- tailers where to adver tise-in the newspapers. MT. Bolles is paid thousands of dollars every year for telling people where to advertise. That he remains in the business with the same cus- toners proves he has not made any mistake in his advice.
 Another valuable bit of in formation imparted by MT. Bolles was how to treat advertising. One man regards advertising as an expense, another as a reel procity in trade, still another as means of collecting bad debts. Naturally these do not get the greatest benefitfrom advertising. The man who regards advertis- ing as much a part of his busi- ness as his stock in trade is the man who realizes the motive of advertising and gets the best re- suits from it. He is up-to- date, has an attractive, inviting place of business, clean, new, right in-style stock. He advertises freely in the newspapers, and is a power in the community. If you would succeed in business make contract with your news paper and never let it lapse.- Fort Smith ws-Record.

Fly Time Warning.

It is time to begin the fight on flies. Here is the formula for a poison that will kill the flies and and not endaLger human life:
 A drahm of bichlOrate of potash dissolved in two ounces of water and sweetened, is the cheap and effective method of encouraging flies to kill themselves.
 There are other sanitary regu- latiOns that ought to be exer- cised. Here are some of the ways suggested:
 Screen your doors and win dows before fly time.
 Screen all food, especially milk.
 Keep flies away from the sick, especially those ill with con- tagious disease.
 Eliminate the breeding places of flies. This is important.
 The following should be done:
 Sprinkle chloride of lime or kerosene over contents of garb- age boxes and other refuse.
 Keep garbage receptacles tightly covered; clean the cans daily.
 Clean the boxes every week. Sprinkle them with kerosene or chloride of lime.
 Pour kerosene into the drains; keep sewerage system in order.
 Clean cuspidors daily; keep five per cent solution of carbolic acid in them all the time.
 Don't allow dirt to accumulate in corners, behind doors. back of radiators or under stoves.
 No dirt, no flies.

BUILDING REVIVAL
The Old Fire Trap Will Be Replaced
 by Three Modern Bricks.

Carlisle is unequaled by any town in the State just now in the building line. Besides the big rice mill which is fast assuming shape, and numerous dwellings in every part of the city that are being occupied by clever, indus trious families as fast as they are completed, the contract has been let for three modern brick buildings, which will replace the frame fire traps on the corner of Front and Court streets. The old frame buildings have already been torn away. and work will begin immediately on the new buildings. The two facing on Front street will be 25 by 90 feet, one of them two stories high. and the one facing on Court street will be 25 by 50 feet, two stories high. They will be built of brick and concrete, and will be modern in design.
 Contractor c. H. Osborne will do the carpenter work, and if good weather prevails they will be completed within few weeks.

Fancies.

There are, in the city of Little Rock, many palatial residences, situated in beautiful parks filled with trees, shrubs and flowers, where the birds sing and the air is balmy and scented with sweet smelling perfume. On the we'll kept lawns no children play, and, to all appearances, many of these palaces are kept in silence and selfishness.
 Oh. men of wealth, take your car to the Orphans Home, fill it with sad-faced children, take them to your palace and give them a taste of nature. Let them for an hour play on your grass, slide on your cellar-d door, and enjoy your flowers. Let them hear your birds sing, see your squirrels play, and De for a moment Tin childhood's happy hour"
 Oh! man of wealth, in your cheerless room, somebody's Mother, now gray and feeble, awaits in patience, and even i'll anxiety, the end of long and faithful life. Let her, also, play with the children. Let her, too, listen to the childish laughter and song of birds mix in mirth and melody. Let her dream for a moment of those by-gone days; let her feel again the touch of childish fingers, and hear the music of children at play. Then

Remember, it pays to be kind to everyone. Speak kind word to the down hearted, it will scat ter sunshine along the path he is treading, and possibly may cause him to get a glimpse of a better life. Speak kindly to those who are doing good, it will make them happy to know that you appre- ciate their efforts. Kindness is the music of good will to men, and on this harp the smallest finger may play heavens sweet est tunes on earth.

Buy a Farm.

Mans nature cries out for a home, a place somewhere in the world he can call his own. The young farmer should listen to this voice of his own nature and buy a farm. He should never be content with renting. The rent CT is a transient being, and in one sense wanderer on earth. It may be excusable for a time, but there should be a higher aim

Prohibition in Kansas.

Henceforth it is a crime to drink intoxicating liquors, even from your own bottle, in the State of Kansas. The law, which is said to be the most drastic in existence, was passed by the last legislature in an endeavOr to supplement the prohibition law, violations of which have been notorious. The new law is now in effect.
 Until year ago joints" were openly conducted in Topeka, Leavenworth, Wichita, Kansas City and others of the larger cities of the State under a sys- tenn of municipal fines. These have practically all been closed.

would be putting the case very mildly,
School spirit ran high but was under
control the entire evening, and the sew
eraI schools seemed to vie with each
other in the matter of keeping order.
The receipts of the evening were
$183 co. while the expenses will not be
more than about $4,000, leaving a little
more than $4,000 to be divided among
the schools.
The judges were Rev. Mr.. Ross OF
Monroe, Professor Rahr of GAINESVILLE,
and Mr.. W. H. McGrath, an attorney
from Monroe.

''a'e Historical socie,,
tn CON T Z S

The league declamatOry contest held
in Mineral Point on last Friday even
ing attested in the strongest possible
manner to the fact that an excellent
school sentiment obtains throughout
southwestern Wisconsin. A good del
egation was present from each Of the
five schools which compose the league,
namely: Cuba City, Darlington, Hazel
Green, Mineral Point, and Platteville.
The result Of the contest is printed else
where in this paper, and it is the pur
pose Of this article only to refer to the
good effect such contests have in stimu-
lating thought and sentiment and in
bringing pupils, teachers and patrons Of
the schools together. That the public
schools are doing good, earnest work
was made manifest by the several con
testants on Friday night. They were
greeted by an audience numbering be-
tween seven hundred and eight hundred
people. Supt. r. E. LOveland presided.
Before the meeting was called to order
each school in turn made the large lee
ture room resOund with school yells as
it had never resounded before. But be
fore announcing the program, Supt.
Loveland made the request that the
delegations from the several schools
hold in reserve the manifestation of any
local school spirit until the close of the
contest. The perfect compliance of the
pupils Of all the schools with this re
quest was tribute to themselves and
to their teachers. Each Of the contest
ants was given close attention and could
be distinctly heard in all parts of the
large lecture room,
Altogether, the contest was an in
spring one. 1t brought together from
neighbOring cities and villages many
pupils who are ambitious to succeed in
school work, and Mineral Point was
right glad to welcome them as guests.
Such gatherings attest to the earnest
school spirit which is manifesting itself
around about US, not only in declama-
tory contest, but in writing contests,
adding contests, and spelling contests, as
we'll. The care and thought bestowed
on school work will surely bring their
reward to the pupil in after years.

for state aid to highway construction
which was reported out by the senate

of its provisions when it becomes law,
