1t singeth low in every heart,
We hear IT each and all
A song of those who answer not,
Forever we may call;
They throng the silence of the breast
We see them as of yore-
The kind, the brave, the true, the
sweet,
Who walk with us no more.
It's hard to take the burden up,
When these have laid it down;
They brighten all the joys of life,
They soften every frown;
But, oh, It's good to think of them
When we are troubled sore!
Thanks be to God that such have
been,
Although they are no more!
More homelike seems the vast un-
known.
Since they have entered there;
To follow them were not so hard,
Wherever that may fare;
They cannot be where God is not,
On any sea or shore;
Whate'er betides. Thy love abides,
Our God, for evermore.

PERSISTENT Advertising Brings Bust
ness Success.
lHtthe moneylthat is spent every
>year by occasional" advertisers
were added up lit would be found
ITO amount,tO aIlarge ssum. By "oc-
tcasiOnal" advertising Il mean the
,using of space sat irregular periods
lin your newspaper. Local publici-
tty lis often done this way under the
excuse of helping THE paper, but
THE real reason. liz the advertiser
could be got to admit it, lis that he
lis halfhearted about the matter.
He partly looks RpOn advertising as
IA luxury anyhow, and so ,curtails
his expenditure On it to the lowest
limit.
Although the retailer may regard
publicity as luxury, it yet seems
to be a dream ON his part that one
day he will make some real success
and a handsome fortune through
advertising Indeed down deep in
all retailers hearts is a feeling that
money can positively be made
through advertising. They know
that huge fortunes have been and
are being piled up by retail mer-
chants with the aid of this Iimitless
'rce, and they have secret hopes
that one day they also may strike
the royal road to success. If they
but knew it that road lies straight
and plain before every retailer in
the country if he would only open
his eyes to see it.
John Wanamaker, the great New
York and Philadelphia retail mer-
chant, on one occasion said: "Ad-
vertising doesn't jerk; it pulls" 1t
begins very gently at first, but the
pull is steady. 1t is likened to a
team pulling a heavy load. A
thousand spasmodic, jerky pulls
will not bulge that load, while one
half the force in steady effort will
start and keep it moving"
Here is the solution in a nutshell
steady effort. The merchant who
uses newspaper space occasionally"
is simply wasting his efforts. 1t is
the steady pounding and pounding
again that makes success in ad-
vertisine as in everything else. All
advertising is good in proportionate
degree to how it is done, and even
occasional advertising has some
value, but to be successful to the
point of permanently increasing
your bank account, it must be done
persistently and Systematically.

you were to tell a man or woman
daily about the quality and prices
of your wares you produce more eff
feet than if you were to talk to him
or her at uncertain intervals.
The question Of changing the
craftsmanship or copy" in your ad-
vertising space is an important one
1t acts this way. Suppose you had
a pile of some special goods fox
sale. Suppose you were determin-
ed to sell some of those goods to
some particular customer. After
you had asked that customer to buy
those goods would you, the next
time you approached her, use ex-
actly the same language and argu-
ments? You know you would not.
You would hunt up new ideas to
attract her attention, new ways of
convincing her and new methods to
get her to buy. You must apply
the same principles to your adver-
Using, You must be continually
hunting up new ideas, new argu-

counter.

long us he buys enough space for a
long enough period to make a sue

the successful merchant can do in
that respect. But when it comes
to filling the space the question as
sumes a different shape.
Advertisement constructing is a
profession like medicine or law.
When you are sick you 60 to a ply
stefan. When your business wants
tOning up. why should you not 60
to business doctOr?-an advertis-
ing expert? There are on the mar
ket number of what are called
Syndicate Advertising Services.
These can be obtained for as low as
one dollar per week. They give you
precisely the same service as is
given to department stores and
national advertisers by first-class in
dividual advertising managers.
These services are usually supplied
in series of fifty-twO advertise
ments, one for each week in the
year, together with fifty-two copper
plate cuts of high grade illustrations
drawn by high salaried artists. The
advertisements are constructed by
writers of national reputation and
with great experience, men who
have made success for thousands of
other retailers in the same position
as yourself. The low price charged
for these advertisements is only
made possible because of thousands
of the advertisement that are sold to
different merchants throughout the
country. Only one merchant in
each town is allowed to use the
service for his own trade.

syndicated advertising services may

Michael Gay, of $40 Washington
Avenue. to pen the following well
written statement of q MissOurian
who went to the Northwest and de-
(cided that good old Missouri is
good enough for anyone Here is
what he writes for publication:
Having just returned from the
Northwest, where ] went to buy
some land and make a home, Boone
county people may find it interest
ing to know something of conditions
out there.
1t is a good country for the man
with something to sell or money to
loan. l am writing this for the
man who has about enough to get
his family there and enter home
stead.
From a homeseekers point of
view the man who leaves old Mis-
souri,, the land of blue grass and fat
cattle. to 90 to the Northwest, is 60
ing to be disappointed. for the coun-
try is not as pictured in real estate
agents circulars. There is plenty
of land to enter; but it is not worth
taking up as it is all stump land or
sage brush and it will cost more to
clean than good wheat and corn
land right here in Missouri. Then,
too, it is far removed from the rail-
roads, in some cases fifty miles.
did not find and such land nearer
the rails than ten miles.
| You can gather an idea of the
cost of clearing this land when
tell you l saw twenty pounds of
dynamite under one stump, and it
failed to dislodge it.
To locate out there you have to
have money to build house and a
barn, fences. sheds and so on. be-
cause the land has absolutely moth
ing on it, The expenses of these
things are often overlooked by
prospective homeSeekers.
Then there is the water problem
and it is serious. You are lucky
to strike water 800 feet. l saw
abandoned claims where people had
failed to strike water.
| If you succeed in clearing ten
acres the first year and put it in
wheat, after two years you may
consider yourself lucky to have
500 left. You have a long haul TO
the railroad to sell your wheat. 1t
costs money to clear the land and
it costs money to cultivate. Water
costs you money. 1t is not a sure
crop country either. They have av-
eraged one bumper crop in four
years, two good crops in four years
and one failure in four years. These
are facts told me by men on the
ground who hadn't money enough
to get back home, for they had
theirs all tied up.

One man from Odessa, Maine. had
$500 when he went there. He
has $50 acres of land. twenty

hogs and chickens and he owes
