FALSE BUSINESS ECONOMY,

In business there is sometimes
a closeness which goes by the
name Of economy, but which in
its practical WORKINGS is nothing
but eEtrayagence.
To spend a dollar for a certain
purpose and get nothing IN re
turn means a dollar wasted, but
two dollars spent for the same
purpose bringing in many dot
lars as a return is economy and
also wealth.
How often this truth is seen
in ADVERTISING. one INGREDIENT
grudgingly spends but a few
dollars a year for advertising his
business because, so he says, he
cant afford 10 pay more, and
naturally he gets poor returns.
Another merchant adyertises
literally and iudiciously and as a
consequence his business grows
apace. The one merchant shows
false economy with the inevitable
result, the other shows true
economy because it puts more
money in his pocket.
No one realizes the truth OF al
this more than the great money
order houses. Each OF then
spends yearly a king ransom'
in ADVERTISING because experience
tells them il pays. Many a re
tail merchant Gould with prof
follow their example by a pro
portionate expenditure for tn
same object. They, too, woul'
find il pays.

THE OPTlMlST.

When we scan the daily papers
With their head lines black
and bold,
AS one by one their rustling,
Crime stained pages we unfold
The many sins and sufferings
OF the people makes us sad,
And we sometimes almost feel
The world is going to the bad.
When we read of awful murders
And dead bodies stark and cold
How men respected and esteemed
Have honor sold for gold;
And the story Of the CRATER
With his tainted load of spoils,
And the suffering of the guilty,
Who are caught within the tolls.
But just the same we always
know
mat WDere n man goes NhOhB
There are a thousand in this
world,
Whose lives are one grand song,
Whose deeds though not recorded
Among affairs of state;
Are craven deep and clearly
In the bulky tome of fate.
With accomplishing fortitude,
They bear their loads of care;
OF them no songs r sung,
For them no plaudits rend the
air,
And though their greatness il
not told,
In marble halls OF fame;
Their deeds have helped to make
The old world better just the
same. A. d. NJ

Jefferson City June 81. After
a most delightful trip TO Indiana
and Kentucky Governor Hadley
and Mrs. Hadley returned TO the
capital of Missouri last Tuesday
night and on Wednesday began
preparations for occupying their
new log cabin summer home on
the Governors farm. For nearly
a month Governor Hadley had
been making short trips and re-

at various points. The trip to
Indiana and Kentucky wound up

and, excepting a few engage
ments at intervals, he will be at
the capital or at his farm near by
where he will spend the summer
with his family.
Governor Hadley and Mrs.
Hadley enjoyed a trip through
the famous Blue Grass region of
Kentucky n an automobile.
From Lexington to Versailles, a
distance of Is miles they travelled
over one of the smoothest and
best turnpike macadamized roads
in Kentucky, through a region as
rich, productive and beautiful as
can be seen anywhere in the
world. AT Versailles they en-
countered a terrific storm of
thunder, lightning and rain, but
they sped through it, traversing
the famous county of Woodford
and a portion of Franklin 10

Kentucky, where they were
