NORFOLK COULD ADVERTISE.

The Saturday Evening Post points
out this week that ten times as many
people are acquainted with the merits
of Canadian lands as with the agricul-
tural possibilities of the southern
part of the United States. That maya
zine adds that it believes it pays COM
munities to advertise, as well as in
dividuals.
The News believes that it would
pay Norfolk to advertise judicially
and that the Commercial club might,
with very good effect, appropriate
even so small sum as $50, perhaps,
and spread the possibilities of Nor
folk over a vast area, with good re-
suits.
AS a suggestion-and suggestion
only-some economical plan of using
even the want ad columns of such
papers as the Chicago Tribune, the
Kansas City Star and perhaps a New
York paper, might be found worth
trying.

The sultan of Turkey was recently
requested to make an occasional visit
TO the mosque on horseback that his
subjects might have a better view of
his august person. To tins simple re-
quest he made the peculiar reply that
II bay horse having white spots on
each hind foot and on one front foot.
white spot between its eyes and a
tail reaching to the ground, could be
procured for him he would ride. His
officers thought he had merely taken
this way of refusing their request, not
believing horse answering this
description could be found, but the
diplomatists of Constantinople tele-
graphed the story to their governments
and Lord Ribblesdale of England re-
piled that he had a horse which he
bought from Richard Croker which
filled all the requirements. Arrange
ments are being made to send the ami.
NAL to the sultan. This story reminds
one so forcibly of the Arabian
Nights" tales that it is hard to clothe
1t with the dignity of an international
episode.

ideal location and willing to start on
small scale and build up.
The chances are that several hun.
dred dollars could be spent in buying
metropolitan newspaper space to tell
of the bushes openings in NORFOLK and
the field which industries could draw
from for support, hut if the CONNER
cial club feels hesitancy in appropriate
ing any real advertising money, it
might be we'll worth while to consider
the plan of buying want ad space with
a very small expenditure for try-out.
The News believes, with the Satur-
day Evening Post that it pays to adj
vertise communities as well as in
dividuals.
And there is no town in the country
of this size which has so much to
offer in the way or geographical loca-
ton and territory, as has Norfolk.
All that is necessary. it would seem,
would be to get the facts before the
prospective men who are looking for
just such locations.

President Eliot of Harvard, said in
a recent lecture that he intended in
the immediate future to make a selec-
ton of books sufficient to fill shelf
five feet long, the reading of which, for
ten minutes a day would insure a
liberal education. 1t is to be hoped
that when President Eliot has made
his selection he will publish the list of
books for the benefit of others. There
are few men so we'll fitted by long ex-
perience in educational pursuits to
select a library of real essentials from
the vast number Of books to choose
from.

One Of the trusts which has gained
its predatory wealth by stealing mil
lions in pennies, is now paying back
a trife of its i'll gotten gains to the
government. In suit brought by the
government against the sugar trust it
was discovered that at certain re-
fineries the scales at the receiving
docks were 'doctored." A thin steel
spring under the lever made a saving
of fourteen pounds on every thousand,
or about one and one-half per cent.
All the sugar imported passed over
these scales and the government is
trying to recover the customs duty
which the false weight has evaded,
now amounting to many hundred
thousand. The scales have been in
use many years and it is estimated
that the trust has saved by this petty
fraud $1,239,00. 1t passes comprehen-
sion that a great rich corporation
should descend to cheap swindling of
this character.

One of the best ways in the world 10
rest is to walk. It's cheap Doesn't
cost anything but shoe leather and
time. 1t brings you into constant
change of scene, gives you pure air,
moves all your muscles and stimulates
all your organs, leads you to look upon
nature and see the beautiful things she
has provided for you. The business
man usually says he has not time to
walk, but some day he will take time
to die and that time might be post
poned some years If he would take
care of his health now.

Gov. Hoke Smith of Georgia advances
new idea on the negro problem. His
theory is that dilution is the solution
OF the questions. Instead of allowing
them to congregate in the south they
should be distributed throughout the
country more evenly. When the negro
is in a community where the whites
predominant he assimilates ideas and
morality from the whites and makes
progress, but in communities where
the whites are in the minority he feels
no incentive to improve and so falls
back, No environment could be worse
than to surround him wholly by his
own race. The governors argument
sounds very reasonable, but how is he
going to accomplish their distribution.

of the First street roadway. which
has already been well started by A. ].
Durland, and the building of better
roads leading into town from the sur
rounding farm region, is worthy con-
sideration at the hands of the city and
county officials.
The roads in and around Norfolk
are not ideal at this time. A better
road from the Junction to the business
portion of town, and better road
leading out in various directions into
the farm country, are needed. An
example of an ideal road system may
be seen near Omaha right now. The
value of them to farmer and towns
people can hardly be overestimated..
And it might just be possible that
gravel could be bought at this time
with which to help construct better
highways.

The London police make practice
OF taking a census once each year of
the homeless. The 18th of January
was the date selected for the roundup.
The officers found more than two
thousand persons, of whom nearly two
hundred were women, and twenty-three
children, sleeping out doors without
shelter. Probably many of these out
casts for whom there was not room in
lodging houses or even work houses,
were unworthy, but nevertheless they
were human beings and therefore to be

til last fall, had absolute power. The
Young Turks, threatening a revolu-
ton at that time, forced him to grant
constitution and parliament. Two
weeks ago the sultan melted the sol
diers in Constantinople to mutiny
against parliament. A Young Turk
editor was assassinated. A Young
Turk ship captain was lynched. The
sultan apparently hoped to throw
things into confusion and ia regain
his absolute power as a result.
That the sultan was mistaken in judg.
ment is shown by events that fol-
lowed The Young Turks organized
troops throughout the provinces,
marched to Constantinople, stormed
the city and took possession of it.
1t is now apparent that the sultan's
days are numbered as a ruler. The
Young Turks may place the sultan's
brother, who joined them against his
brother, upon the throne.
The trouble in Asia Minor, where
some 10000 Christian Armenians have
been massacred, is related to the
Turkish trouble, it being believed that
the massacres were melted by the sui
tan in his hope of destroying the
Christian power and thus aid himself
to remain head of the pagan nation.

Creton Reidel. a rich Californian,
is so impressed with the possibilities
of the spineless Burbank cactus, that
he has undertaken no less a task than
the retaining of the desert of Sa.
hara. Mr.. Reidel firmly believes that
in few years this entire area, upon
whose pitiless wastes so many have
persisted, may be rendered available
for agricultural purposes. through the
agency of this wonderful plant which
furnishes both food and water, (being
"a per cent water). Luther Burbank's
discoveries are of unreasonable bene-
fit to mankind and no other product of

more valuable than the spineless
