No. is simple, but appropriate door for
home of English domestic style.
No matter what the design OF the out
side door, the inside vestlbule door should
be rather plain. If 1t contains glass, it
should be one panel undivided. When
both vestibule and outside door contain
divided glass it is confusing to look through
them. The exact dimensions of q front
entrance can not be limited, depending as
1t does upon so many conditions. The
entrance must not be narrow or Of a
stingy proportion, for that would be the
first impression one would receive of the
owner. 1t should be broad and generous
in its aspect, even to a fault. over the
front entrance there should be always
some kind of shelter to protect one while
awaiting the opening of the door, for this
of itself expresses congeniallty. Make that
shelter or porch appear for utility rather
than a means for expressing, ones fas-
tidiousness by excessive ornament, bearing
in mind the charm of simple beauty. DO
not seek the notoriety of novelty.

Twenty-Five or thirty automobiles are ex-

Three hundred copies of the following let

Omaha:
DO you know of a more delightful way
TO spend the Fourth than to take a run
In your machine. with your family or
friends through Nebraskas beautiful
fields? This is what we urgently invite
you to do. The citizens OF Tekamah have
invited the citizens of Omaha to visit them
on that day and view the horse races
which we understand are very high-class
and entirely worthy OF the trip on their
own account
A further and most cogent reason for a
large attendance from omaha is the feeling
on the partJof the good people of Tekamah
that Omaha has neglected previous invita-
tions from them. This feeling, we learn,
is very strong indeed, and has affected
their attitude towards US even to the ex-
tent of DETECTING business that proximity
and former relations should have made
ours legitimately. We should spare no
palms to show our neighbors that there are
no grounds for this feeling. and this oppor-
tunity from It's very nature, Is particularly
ada pied to enable us to do this.
There are doubtless delightful spots about
Tekamah in the groves and fields for a
picnic with your motor party after the run,
and. with the races to view as your in
cIlnation tends, we believe you can con-
bine a most pleasant little excursion with
a most diplomatic move for Omaha's busi-
ness interests. Think this over favorably
and decide to make the run. Yours from

In recent address before the West

association L. f. Bussey, publisher of
the Phelps (N. " Citizen. said;
THE problem is really Il serious one
and has not received the attention it
should have had. This in Il large
measure accounts for the expansion of
the business to immense proportions.
One concern in Chicago claims to have
business of $53 100000 per year. with
an estimated profit of II per cent.
amounting to over $T,OOO.OOO
zone village with Il population Of
5000 is cited as an example of what
the mail order business means locally
1t Is claimed that during the month of
December last over $1,000 was sent in
money orders from that village to one
Chicago mail order house. \ letter Of
inquiry brings forth the reply that
there is no foundation for such Il
statement, although what is consid
cred a large amount of business is
actually sent to the mail order houses.
The estimate given places it at about
$4,000 annually.
"a somewhat recent development of
mail order business is the trade in
ladies' wearing apparel. y number of
ladies patroniZe houses dealing in
these goods without realizing that in
permitting themselves to be ensnared
by the exponent of the new fad, the
psychology of advertising. they are
laying themselves open to criticism
quite as much as the man who is de-
luded into sending away his hard
earned dollars for goods which show
up beautifully In the catalogue. but
have decidedly different appearance
when he receives them.
'"The regular mail order houses at the
present time have alluring advertise
