NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING,
(Houston Chronicle. }

For a newspaper to recommend
newspaper advertising is like a gro
Ger recommending groceries. AS oc-
casionally patrons try raw food
diet and eat fruit and nuts exclusive
! ly, so business men try advertising
wagons, billboards, store windows and
circulars; but just as the grocery
mans patrons come back to -four,
grits, sugar, rice, etc, so the exper-
imenters in other lines of advertis
ing return to the newspaper. News
paper pace is indispensable in bust
ness just as the ROGERS wares are
necessities of life
A recent article in an eastern paper
published in shrewd Yankeeland
points out the value of newspaper
advertising very clearly. Says the st.
Adams (Vt) Messenger, commenting
on another business concern in its
neighborhood deciding to forsake all
other methods of advertising and stick !
to the newspaper; "They will all
come to it in time. Advertising pays,
if the man that has something to
sell so regulates his advertising as to
convince other people that it is worth

paper advertising can be easily avoid
ed or disregarded by the very people
the advertiser tries hardest to attract,
the man or woman that can afford
to buy. They do not stand gaping ,
at billboards, they do not take In
and they do not bother
with circulars in the mail because,
hey are too busy. But their old
friend, the newspaper, is taken into

SWEETEST AND BEST.

The old songs are the sweetest,
The old friends are the best;
For pleasures that are fleetest
larry not to stand times test.
We gather all the flowers
That bloom within our reach;
But, in our saddest hours,
This lesson do they teach:
Like thistle-down they leave us
When ere a wind doth blow.
They blossomed to deceive US
And laugh as on they go.
We gaze-aye, gaze in sorrow,
When all we think are gone;
Then find upon the morrow
A few are clinging on.
These, we cleaned in childhood:
When life's gay songs. ran high;
They blossomed in the wildwood
And to change them they must die.
We clasp them rudely to our heart
For oh, how dear they are
We know that they will not depart.
These sweetest flowers by far.

The old friends are the best;

FEAR The FUTURE.
Custom officials Plan to Outwit Air
ship SmuggIers.

Washington. July 2S.-When airships
compete with steamships and railroads,
the government will have no more diff
fculty in assessing and collecting
duties than at present. So say of
fciaIs of the treasury department, who
have already given the probability OF
the common use in the near future Of
aeroplanes and other forms of airship
consideration.
They are not apprehensive that
smuggling will be increased. Should
aerial navigation be perfected to the
extent of the establishment of ocean
lines the customs officials say they
have no greater problems to deal with
than now confront them.
All landings of airships will be wide
" heralded. unless made in remote sec
lions. away from habitatlon, and the
nubIfcfty given will enable the officials
to keep close track. They say it will
not be necessary to revise the customs
laws to meet conditions which may
shortly result from the development of
aerial navigation.

FACTORY GIRLS STRIKE.
Forbidden to Talk During Lunch
Hour, They Quit Work.

New York, July 2S.-Two hundred
girls employed in a shirt waist factory
in East Tenth street have gone on
strike because the management posted
a notice prohibiting conversation dur
ing lunch hour. It has ben the Gus
tom of the girls to eat their lunches
in the work room and during that
hour to talk and enjoy themselves.
They say that their employers have
forbidden them to talk in the future
during lunch hour and that silence
must be maintained. Rather than put
up with this they decided to go on
strike and now propose to negotiate
with the company for more wages
and less work together with the privi-
lege of talking as much as they please
while they are eating.
