The slogan of the 3Sth Annual
Convention of the National Wo-

held at Milwaukee was "Constitu-

And this will be the watchwoId for
the coming year for every local,
county and state union and the fol-

We hereby proclaim that within
decade prohibition shall be placed
in The Constitution of the United
States and to this end we call to ac-

who love their country.

the law should require that at least two
women be members of the school
board. AS IL is, while women have the
privilege Of voting for school commit

AUTO FIRE ENGINES ARE
GIVING SATISFACTION.
Georgia and Pennsylvania Towns Use
Them With Success and Economy.

The new chemical auto engine of
Rome, Ca, is working satisfactorily,
and those familiar with the fire engine
and insurance situation predict that
before many years the auto engines
will entirely supplant the horse drawn
vehicles. 1t has been said that when
the new auxiliary water main. is put
in three auto engines could handle the
entire town and thus decrease the ex-
pense of maintenance.
An early morning fire in the business
section of Lyndora. Pa. gave the local
fremen their first opportunity to en-
ploy the new automobile fire truck in
actual service, and that the new ma
chine is all that could possibly be ex-
pected is evidenced by the fact that
water was being played upon the
flames five minutes after the alarm
sounded. 1t is estimated that on
stretches of the run a speed Of more
than sixty miles per hour was at
tanned. The run proves beyond q
doubt the excellent worth of the new
truck.

Jail For Mail Order Man,

Imprisonment in the federal prison
at Leavenworth, Kan, for three years
and a fine of $1,000 is the sentence i'm
posed upon William P. Harrison,
wealthy head Of a mail order concern.
by Judge Hollister in the United
States district court at Cincinnati.
he was found guilty of using the
mails to defraud, conviction coming
upon all seven counts Of two indict-
ments, alleging that he advertised and
sold through the mails a vacuum car
pet cleaner and a washing machine
neither Of which would do the work
required. The trial lasted more than
four weeks and cost the government
thousands of dollars to bring witnesses
from all parts Of the country.

TRUTHFUL ADVERTISING.
The Merchant Who Doesn't Use It 10
Sure to Be a Failure.

The Merchant Who Doesn't Use It ls
Sure to Be a Failure.
Here is an %undeniably true argument
made by the advertising expert of the
New York Evening Mail:
I'm smaller communities. where ev-
erybody knows everybody. there is
very little likelihood of the public be-
ing deceived by advertising. The mer-
chant there knows he must make good,
He knows if he does not he will not
do any business.
I'm larger communities, where there
are great throngs Of people-transient
and r%esident-the advertising faker
thinks he can escape the consequences
Of misrepresentation. and he does,
sometimes for a long period, but in the
end he gets his deserts, as be always
does.
1.-THE increasing faith in advertising
is being brought about because the
majority Of advertisers-a big MAORI
ty, too-live up to their agreements.

with good newspapers in driving out

Case In Point,

Best One Is, Have No Such RuIe-A
Case In Point.
Of all ironclad rules in business only
n is fit to tie up to. and that is to
have no such rules.
Fifteen years ago q man wishing to
order a suit Of clothes entered a GER
tain tailoring establishment and be-
came interested in what today we call
a pinhead check.
II admire that" he said, but I new,
er wore anything like it before and
want my wife to see it. Cut me a sam
ple-just an inch square will do
I'm sorry, but it is against the rules
of the house to cut samples" said the
salesman.
"What-not ven IN inch s%quare?
The man walked into another tailor
shop on the same block. and for fifteen
years he has been getting his clothes
there-forty-fve suits in all.
How many samples would Tailor No,
1 have given to get an order on forty
five suits Of clothes?
AS it is he'll never get the chance to
hand over samples. If he were the
last tailor in Christendom probably
this customer would prefer the latest
| styles in fig leaves and shoestrings tc
the original pinhead check.
In business the only rules that count
are made by the customer.-Philadel

ELUMS FOUND Wherever
THERE is CONGESTION.
Lack of Adequate Transit Cause Of
Crowded and DiIapidated Houses.

Lack of adequate transit and trans
p%ortation facilities is one of the chief
causes Of congestion. says G. A. Ford
in the American City. With no good
means Of going to and from the heart
of the city people are forced to remain
in the near vicinity of their work.
and in this connection we use the
word adequate" advisedly, for it is
perfectly possible for a subway to be
so placed that it's operation tends to
increase rather than decrease conges-
ton.
Again, congestion often appears as
a result of the lack of adequate city
regulations with regard to open space,
sunlight, etc. These regulations would
differ in different communities, but
the smaller community must be care
full not to adopt standards for these
things such as have been adopted by
the greatest cities, as this often tends
to incite builders in the smaller com
munities to ape the intolerable condi-
tons prevalent in the greater cities.
Speculation in land, due to the de-
sire of each individual to get the max
imum possible return on his holdings,
this return often being out of all pro-
portion to anything that the owner
himself has done to bring it about.
probably accounts more than anything
else for the worst phases of conges-
ton.
That congestion has a marked effect
on health no one can doubt. Its tend
ency is to crowd tenements so closely
together that a good circulation of air
or the admission of sunlight into NV
ing rooms becomes impossible. The
rooms are dark. The air in the mar
row Sits of shafts and wells becomes
stagnant and foul. There is no incen-
tive to self respect on the part of the
dwellers in these novels. The shafts
become a receptacle for the constantly
increasing accumulation Of garbage.
1t is n%obody's business to see that it is
cleared out.

Nutshell Philosophy.

Jealousy indicates misplaced affec-

Many a farsighted man is a close

No, Alonzo, the key to success isn't

1t pays to give even an enemy a

Most excuses are lies wrapped in

Some men would rather go broke
than stay at home.

PREMIUM CLUBS
WORST MENACE
Their Inferior Goods Hurt Mer-
chant and Customer.
Pure FOOD Law.

Ingenious Canvasser Got Merchants
Wife to Take $50 In Cheap Stuff In
Order to Get a "FaIl to Pieces" Rock
ing Chair.
While the straight out and out mail
order houses are receiving the atten-
ton of merchants throughout the land.
there are dozens Of concerns, also mail
order houses, whose operations collec-
lively are perhaps more harmful to the
people and the merchants than are the
sell direct catalogue houses. These con-
Germs are the premium givers which en-
ploy c~anvassers to organize clubs for
teas and c%offees. spices, extracts and
dozens of other articles, paying either
a cash commission or giving some pre-
MUM. such as sets of dishes. house
hold furniture, jewelry and the like.
There is scarcely a city in the land
Of any size but has one or more of
these establishments, each doing con-
siderable business. Some of these
houses pay hundreds of thousands of
dollars a year for advertising space in
the women's papers. The annual vol
ume Of business Of some of these con-
Germs exceed that of Chicago's biggest
catalogue house. Others do business
exceeding a million dollars annually.
The catalogues published only go into
the hands of agents along with sam
pies to be used in canvassing. There
is not a city or hamlet where these
concerns do not transact business.
They generally work on the premium
plan-a premium to the purchaser of
their goods and a premium to the can
vasser. The goods handled are of an
inferior class. They escape the inves.
LEGATION of the pure food officials be-
cause shipments are made direct to
the consumer or to the agent who does
the distributing, and no inspector has
the audacity to take goods for analysis
that go in this manner to a consumer.
Various plans have been devised tc
head off the operations Of these con
Germs. So far no adequate plan has
been discovered that will stand the
tests of the higher courts. Strange
to say, frequently wives of merchants
are found among the patrons of these
concerns. Not long ago the wife of 6

club more than $50 worth Of stuff, &
