Advertising has raised some fine
children, and every advertising man
has reason to be proud of them.
| want to tell here the story Of
man who grew into a work that held
great promise for DEVELOPMENT, and
who when he called advertising to his
aid soon found himself the president
of a worldwide institution.
In 1891 this man was the editor of
little weekly paper taken for the
most part by miners. He noticed that
his paper was publishing great many
reports of accidents III the mines. He
reached the conclusion that these ac-
cidentS were largely due to ignorance.
After thinking the matter over he
started a query column, looking
to the explanation of these accidents.
He invited suggestions on how ac-
cidents could be partly or wholly eliml-
mated.
So successful was this column that
he soon turned his paper into min
ing journal and published textbook
for mine fOremen His correspondence
became so great that he determined
to inaugurate a correspondence school
for miners.
Like all Give" things the idea grew.
One course of study led to another
until, almost before the erstwhile edit
or knew it, the number of courses had
grown to over a hundred, and the
founder saw that opportunity was
staring him in the face.
Some men would have said at this
point: "I'll let well enough alone.

NOVELS MISSION DECLARED.

II. G. Wells. in a paper on THE
Scope of the Novel" given in the lounge
Of the Mines Book club, declared that
the success of civilization depends on
the success OF the mutual understanding
between class and class, and the work
ing together Of these in sympathy Here
is the chance for the novel of the future
which can be the social mediator. the
parade Of manners and the exchange of
customs. and. in fact. the home con-
fessional.' " He explained that the writ
ers must not be priests of the pen. -
for their mission was not 10 preach.
but to appeal and 10 display life in all
its manifold phases and conditions.
Here are other quotations from his pa
per:

writing-that men only want light, friv-
olous reading during their hours of
'slippered ease"-is dying out II rul

Women are more serious than men
not only about life. but about books.
Women nowadays insist on having
books that are significant and real.

startling and thought provoking things
such as Mr.. Bernard Shaw affords. the

Advertising Talks
To The Readers OF The Republican

I'm making a good living and Ill be
satisfied" If our friend Of this story
had done this, had weakly said that
he had got along far enough" he
would have missed whole lot of pleas
ure that has fallen to his lot, and
thousands Of people would have been
worse off today.
He began to advertise to realize
upon his opportunity. He promised
the workers of the country that he
could help them get on in life, could
make them fit for THAT job the other
side of the desk" if they would take
his courses of instruction.
He fulfilled his promises by max
ing his instruction as thorough and
conscientious as he and his expert
advisers were capable of.
Today this correspondence school has
grown into great institution. 1t
could never have become the great
force it has without advertising Near
ly million and a half persons have
taken instruction from the school, ana
over 100000 students are now enrolled
The founder knows that advertising
was chiefly instrumental in his sue
cess. He says that his school is now
advertising in 1000 newspapers and
in seventy-one magazines.
Advertising is no Aladdin's Lamp.
1t won't make things grow from a
sterile soil. But, given the wise hand
to train up the fertile idea, advertis-
ing will carry one further, infinitely
further, than he otherwise could pos
sibly go.

KEEN RIVALRY
FOR BIG PRIZE.

promptly Sometimes, through no
fault of the solicitors, mistake is
made in the place of address, by
which subscribers are prevented from
receiving their papers. So do not
blame our workers for any delay Of
this kind until you have seen us.
1t is with regret that we have to
announce that Mr. George f, Hen
shall, our Contest Manager, has, on
account of i'll health, been compelled
to give up his work. His place has
been taken by Mr.. viii J. Cooper, a
member of the reportorial staff of

so well outlined and so successfully
started by Mr. Henshall.
Mr.. Cooper or his assistants will
be in the business office of The Star

Several of the most active workers
in The Stars great $4,000 prize con-
test now going on, have admitted that
they have been holding back" on the
subscriptions they have received be-
cause of the fact that they feared
other contestants might profit at their
expense if they knew how they were
progressing. There is absolutely no
danger of this, for only one man

thing about how the contestants
stand, and he is bound to silence until
November IS, when the first count is
made.

Signaling at Sea.

The custom of signaling at sea by
means of various colored flags Is very
ancient. and the method seems to have
been brought to degree Of develop
ment bordering very closely on perfec
ton. Many people have been astonish
ed ut the length of messages conveyed
In few moments and with the use of
but half a dozen flags In various com
binations. and when the extent of the
language and the completely Of many
necessary messages are considered the
eighteen flags in the signal flag locker
seem very inadequate. However. it
must be remembered that the signal
code utilizes a sort of shorthand. and
many long messages. known to be of
frequent occurrence, have been con
tracted to single showing of flags
In a given combination. The number
81 flags hoisted when signal Is made
never exceeds four With the eighteen
flags of various colors. using four for
each signal. no fewer than 1862 com
binatiOn can be made.

Persia's Pipe Guardian.

The queen of pipes belongs to the
shah of Persia. Why is the great chief
tain of pipes a queen: Probably be-
cause pipe is feminine noun In
French. The little shahs pipe was
smoked by his father before him. and
by his uncle. and by his grandfather.
and how nlany more OF the rulers OF
Darius Kingdom we know not. The
pipe is adorned with all kinds of pre-
cious stones and Is said to BE- worth
100000. 1t is constantly guarded by
q high court func; ionary. whose duties
allow him us much leisure as the super
intendent Of the Persian arsenal. but
as there is no arsenal in Persia SO the
extent of the sinecure may be judged.
Still. this functionary is responsible.
This is how his Office was created:
Once grand vizier was found trying
to pry out a stone from the pipe with
his .poniard Then the office Of guard
ian Of the imperial pipe was created

:. ORIGIN Of "canard.n


The French name for a duck ~
canard and French journal recalls
the etymology of: ''canard" IN the
peja.ative journalistic sense. A Paris
Reporter once upon a time in the hot
weather could. lind no news and he
fell back upon his Imagination. He
published an account of IL remarkable
experiment conducted in a farmyard.
A farmer took twelve duckltngS,
chopped one up fine and gave 1t TO
the eleven others to eat. a second
was chopped and the remaining ten
gohbpd him up. For eight more days
one duckling was served mp to the
others. At last. when only two were
left. one OF the two was gwen to the
other to eat. This remarkable exDeri-
ment resulted. therefore. in the one
remaining duckling having eaten up
bis eleven brothers.
The story Of the Twelve Little
Ducks" sprang at once into fame. \
"canard'' in newspaper has ever
since meant a statement nearer fc.
ton than fact.
