The Best Advertising Medium

It is stated that the large cata logue houses experienced shrink age in business the past year amounting to $1O,OOO,OO0 This was mainly due to the greater activity and systematic efforts in advertising put forth by the retail men and their trade journals all over the country. This is gratifying to the retail trade and indicates one of the most effective ways of com- batting the catalogue houses and of keeping trade at home. If the retail merchants would realize more than some of them do that what the catalogue is to the mail order houses, the home papers are to the local merchants, the business of mail order firms would show a still further decline, to the greater gain of the home trade and the prosperity of the home town. Busi- ness firms have tried all kinds of advertising, but experience proves that the most profitable is attract i've and liberal advertising in the local Enterprise.

Too Many Dead Letters

Because there were over 13,OOO,- GOO letters sent to the dead letter office the past year, Postmaster General Meyer has issued an order that all postmasters in the country shall either deliver lectures to or otherwise furnish information for school children on how to address letters rightly, and also in relati to other details of the postal ser vice. It is the postmaster generals determination that the school chil- dren shall be instructed along this line of knowledge on the postal ser vice, in seeing that the letters are properly and plainly addressed.
 That there is necessity for this kind of action is shown by the vol ume of business transacted by the dead letter office. During the past year 13,145,172 pieces of mail mat ter was sent to ths dead letter office because the postofices were unable to read them.

Let Coconino Merchants Organize

That railroads will not grant re- ductions, except in isolated cases, or accede to just requests of ship pers, unless the demands are by an organized body, is more and more becoming a settled and understood fact. Here in our own affairs, says the Phoenix Gazette, this has been illustrated by the results obtained by the Maricopa County Conner cial club in it's demands for better rates from the railroads. Prior to the organization of the club the in dividual shippers requested in vain.
 Now the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe roads have met the recent protests of the California shippers against the proposed increase in freight rates with an offer to com promise, and it may be that set clement will be arranged.
 Railroads are like the other great corporations owning public utiii- ties-they will grant nothing until the matter is brought forcibly tC their attention. and so long as the people passively submit to the wrongs, those wrongs will continue
