Twin Necessities.

The reader ola newspaper
will readily agree that IL is nee
essary for a merchant, with any
pretention to progressiyeness, to
advertise Yet this would not
be true II II we're not equally
true that IL is necessary for the
reader of the newspaper, IL he
or she have any prete ntions to
progressiveness to read aud an
swer the ads.
These are twin. facts, twin nee
essities. Whatever is of enough
Importance for the merchant to
pay for the privilege of saying
is Of too much Importance for
the reader to overlook. And
just as advertising is the way of
the progressive store, so is the
reading of advertising the way
of the progressive p rso n.
Measure your progressiveness
by this standard and you will not
go far wrong.
The advertised goods are usu
ally cheaper, sold at less profit
to draw trade, and the ad reader
gets the savings.
1t is the saved that counts. -
Laurel Miss. Ledger.

The largest fish Yet.

Altho' some monster fish have
been taken from the Marias des
Cygnes ard Usage rivers this
season the largest yet exhibited

fellow, a cat, weighed 50 pounds

fish was sold to John Hagan, the

up for the public like so
much beefsteak. Two masses OF
eggs, each containing thousands,
weighing five pounds and a half,
were taken from il. -Review.

Great Big Facts.

Saturday night, and the weeks
work done, and the Old Man home

him sit on the cottage porch. and
he pufTs away at a fve.cent torch,
while the good wife sings at her
evening chores, and the children
gambol around out doors. The
Old Man sits on his work-day
hat, and he doesn't envy the
plutocrat; his debts r paid and
he owns his place, and he'll look
a king in the blooming face; his
hands are hard with brick and
loan, but his heart is soft with
the love OF home! Saturday night,
and it's time for bed! And the

tread; and they hush their noise
at the mother look, as she slow

the tale of the stormy sea, and
the voice that quoted Galilee.
Then away to bed and the calm
repose that only honesty ever
knows. Saturday night, and the
world is st i'll, and, and it's only
the erring one who finds things
in; there is sweet content and a
sweeter rest, where a good heart
beats in a brave mans breast.

Boys, did it ever occur to you
that the business men of a town
know you better than your par
euts do? Their eyes are on you
when YOU are least aware and
they know your habits as well as
you know them yourself. You
may slip away from father and
mother, you may deceive your
best friend, elude the watchful
eve of your teacher, trihe with
the conidene Of your Sunday
school teacher, but you can'ta and
don't fool the business nan of
this town when they have a pos.
ton to fill. Stick a pin in this
and resolve to tote fair
with yourself and everybody
else. -Urich Herald.

for a More Complete
FIFE Depar ment.

The city Of Rich Hill needs a
better equipped FIRE department.
This fact has been proven time
and again when we have had
disastrous fires which might
have been prevented or at least
made unimportant by the use Of
up.to. date apparatus. II is not
that the fremen do not do their
duty OF that they are inefficient,
but that they are handicapped
with a lack OF up-to date mater
ial.
Nearly all cities as large as
Rich Hill and many that a e
smaller have horses and hire q
man who is always ready to drive
the hose cart to a fire. This
would be a proper step i'm the
right direction. Several of our
merchants have already signi6ed
a willingness to assist if a move
ment TO secure these things was
started. 1t only needs someone
who will take hold OF the thing
and push to make it a success.

more valuable. Such farmers

SP00NER SORRY NOW.
Regrets He Voted for the Sherman
Antitrust Law.

NEW YORK, December 23.-John c.
Spooner. formerly United States senator
from Wisconsin, regrets that he voted for
the Sherman antitrust law
"One regret Of my life is.'' he told the
members of the New England society last
night. that / voted for some Of the laws
on account Of which men and corporate
entities are being prosecuted. who do not
know, and Will not know until soon, what
the law means or whether they have
violated it or not
This reference was understood to refer
to the appeal taken by the Standard Oil
Company from the recent decision of the
United States circuit court at st. Paul.
''Pessimists will tell you." continued the
speaker, that in the strife for wealth
the American people have lost their deli
cacy of sentiment. For my part do not
fear that the people of this country will
ever grow disobedient OF the law, but
many men are puzzled to know what the
law is."

Investigation Resolutions
to Be Offered January 8

Conferences are going on at the Capitol
today to discuss the preliminary plans for
the congressional Investigation Of the
Balhnger-Pinchot controversy. to be un-
dertaken Immediately after Congress re-
convenes.
1t is generally believed that Senator
Knute Nelson of Minnesota, chairman of
the Senate committee on public lands.
will head the investigating committee.
His chairmanship makes him, In the opin-
ion of many, the logical senator to head
the Senate representation on the commit
tee. and In that case, he will undoubtedly
be chosen the chairman.
That the investigating committee will
have twelve members, six from each
house of Congress. is also the plan out
lined at present. The decision to have
joint commission instead Of Senate
committee undertake the inquiry was
reached at the White House yesterday.
At first. it was thought there should be
an odd number on the committee and
that the Senate would have the prepon-
derance of membership. An equal mem
bership is now regarded as preferable.
Presentation of Resolutions.
Senator Jones will present the inquiry
directing resolution January 5. No oppo-
passage is anticipated. The House will
probably adopt a similar resolution the
same day. ~
Present plans are to have the commit
tee appointed by the Vice President and
the Speaker. It Is believed the majority
OF the members will be picked from the
committees on public lands of the two
houses.
The Senate committee Is composed OF
Chairman Nelson. Senators Clark OF Wyo-
ming, Gamble of South Dakota. Smoot Of
Utah, Flint Of California. Hepburn OF
Idaho, Dixon Of Montana. Jones OF WASH
ington, McEnery OF Louisiana, Newlands
OF Nevada, Davis Of Arkansas. Owen Of
Oklahoma, Bankhead of Alabama and
Chamberlain OF Oregon.
On the House committee are Chairman
Mondell of Wyoming. Representatives
Volstead of Minnesota. Smith Of Califor-
mia. Gronna OF North Dakota, Parsons OF
New York. Pray Of Montana, Reynolds
of Pennsylvania, Martin of South Dakota,
Crow Of Missouri. Hamer Of Idaho, Nor
gan OF Oklahoma. Pickett Of Iowa, An
drews of New Mexico, Byrd OF Missis-
sippi, Robinson OF Arkansas, Ferris OF
Oklahoma. Craig of Alabama, Rauch OF
Indiana. Hughes Of Georgia and Taylor
OF Colorado. or course. some members
of Congress outside Of the committee will
probably be named.
