becoming more and more practlca1
study and of greater expansion, with
CORRESPONDENCE better returns. And
the country merchant has decided
advantage over he big city estab-
lishment, if he improves his oppor-
tunities.
Newspaper advertising not only
pays the merchant but 1t pays MS
patrons, because the larger sales. OF
the live advertiser enable him to
keep a fresher stock of goods, and
year in and year out to sell at a
lower price, and still make more
money than a non-advertiser.
The consumer is coming to under
stand this fact better each year and
an increasing number of people,
looking solely to their own advan-
tage, give preference to the stores
that invite their trade through
attractive offerings in the local news
paper.
Not only does the country mer-
chant profit directly by newspaper
advertising, but more or less 1ndlr-
lectly in this way helps to build up
the business interests of his town. 1t
is generally admitted that a local
newspaper is an advantage to town
and county. The better the paper is
Iu0 IuOIG S1OdASc1OAC IAC
publisher can make it and the more
he can do in calling attention to the
advantages offered in the field in
which it circulates.
1t has often been said, and with
truth, that the newspaper is a pretty
good criterion of the enterprise of a
town. A journal which shows by its
advertising columns that the business
interests are alive, aggressive and
progressive is bound to attract more
attention to its community and bring
to it not only retail trade, but inter-
est outside capital in homes and in
dustries as well as the Inauguration
of many other desirable features. The
reputation of being "a live town" is
an invaluable fact, Indispensable
asset in it's upbuilding.
In the final analysis too, the cost to
the advertisers of proper and telling
newspaper publicity is much less
than the gross sum expended to get
it, because the more advertising a
newspaper has the more help it must
employ to take care of it. Thus, per-
haps 80 per cent of the money paid
for advertising goes back Immediate
ly into local circulation and a portion
of it at least is bound to find it's way
again right soon into the till of the
live and progressive merchant

Municipal matters in Vermont are

Municipal matters in Vermont are
certainly looking up. Montpelier,
Burlington and Rutland have
chosen men with state regulations as
mayors and doubtless will have
broader and more practical business
administrations as a result. 1t is a
good omen when the voters will elect
men of the calibre of S. S. Ballard,
Robert Roberts and P w. Clement
to manage municipal affairs and more
pleasing to know that such men are
willing to serve the public. Mont

city's standing as a progressive one

an enterprising and benefcent thing

Memorial Meeting.
(Intended for. last week.


Mrs G. A. Stanley entertained the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union at her home on Spring street,
Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 20. As this
was the annual memorial meeting for
Frances E. Willard, large number
of members and friends were present.
The meeting was called to order by
Mrs. Freelove Spaulding, vice presi-
dent, by giving out the hymn,
Nearer My God To Thee which
was led by Mrs. P. F. Hazen. The
passage of scripture selected for the
lesson was that appointed in the
Book of common prayer for ST. John
the Baptist day. Prayer was offered
by Rev. Peter Black, who was intro
| duced as the speaker of the after
noon. He said he considered Frances
E. Willard one of the greatest phil
anthropists of the 18th century and
| compared her with Elizabeth Frye in
prison work, Clara Barton, Florence
Nightingale, and others. Among
other things Mr.. Black said the sue
cess of Miss Wizards work might be
summed up in three C's, culture,
courage and conservation. He urged
the women to never give up the
| fight that had been started by her
and had grown to be such a large
organization. Mrs. P. F. Hazen gave
two solos Gust for Today" and
There is a Land My Eye Hath
Seem" which were enjoyed. A short
business session followed when ar
rangements were made for a food
sale, March 4. AS in other years the
| beautiful carnations were given to the
district nurse to be given to those
who were i'll and shut in. The meet
ing closed with the Lords prayer.
Refreshments were served by Mrs.
| Stanley and a pleasant social hour
/ followed.
The committee in charge of the,
food sale held on Saturday, wish to
thank all who helped make it the
success that it was. The result is a
good sum added to the treasury.

Bros. ranch, above Clayton, on
December 25, 1910.
Eric Alexander Erickson was
born in Stavenger, Norway, in
August 1874, and little is known
Of his early life. He came to
the United States when a young
man, coming to Chicago he join
ed the fire department. Later
he came West and for a long
time mined in California, Utah
and Nevada. He came to Custer
county about 25 years ago and
engaged in mining and prospect
ing-which business he has fol
lowed since coming here.
Mr.. Erickson was a man of
splendid principles and was a
good law abiding citizen. He
was highly esteemed by all who
him. He was very charitable
man, and often deprived himself
of the comforts of life that 9TH
Eers might be benefited. His
object in life appeared to be to

WILSON ON STATEN ISLAND.

Staten Island could not extend a
much greater welcome to a man even
if he were President of the United
States, than the people there are ar
ranging for Governor Wilson, when
he crosses the sound, September 2,
to attend the Richmond county fair.
Governor Dix, of New York, is also
invited to be present, on another
day, however, but nowhere near the
preparations for receiving him are
being made as are now under way
for Governor Wilson.
1t is evident that the Wilson presi-
Dental boom is spreading. The
Staten Island Democrats have caught
the fever and there is no doubt that
the governors prominence in nation
al affairs has a great deal to do with
the kind of reception he is about to
receive.
The committee in charge has ar
ranged to have q band on hand; the
residents along Amboy avenue, Tot
tenviIIe, have been asked to decorate
their houses; the Richmond County
Automobile Club will be down to
meet the governor, and a grand pro
cession will take place across the is
land to the fair grounds. Every
honor that is accorded a man of ma
tional prominence will be given the
governor. e
In making these elaborate prep
arations the Staten Islanders make
no mistake. They will not be disap-
pointed when Governor Wilson APP
pears among them. He is a
man among men: a born leader and
a gifted orator. Everywhere he goes
he is received with the greatest en-
thusiasm. AS was the case in this
state when he was a candidate for
governor. his success is assured as
soon as he appears among the peo-
pie.
New Jersey is proud of her chief
executive and is glad that he is go
ing to Staten Island for a day to
show the people over there what they
are missing by not being a part of
this state.

Use OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS.


1t seems likely thai it will be nee
essary to have half sessions in the
high school when the fall term opens
pending the completion of the alterl-
tons now under way in that build
ing. 1t is planned, if necessary, to
have certain classes attend school in
the morning and other classes go in
the afternoon. While this is new for
the high school it has frequently
been put in practice in the various
grade schools throughout the city
and ought to work satisfactorily for
the time being.
The half sessions remind US that
there is a great deal of waste time
for the school building in the system
now in vogue and we believe the time
is coming when the money invest
ed will be made more use of than at
present. When we consider the vast
sum hat the taxpayers have tied up
in the school buildings it is a won
der that some means have not been
found before this to use these build
ings more and save the erection of
new ones. Imagine a manufacture
er spending a large amount of money
on a factory building and then hay
ing it in operation for only three
hours in the morning and three
hours in the afternoon. Such an in
vestment would be an absolute loss.
He would find thai by running his
plant ten or twelve hours a day he
could accomplish twice as much work
in the same building. Why cannot
the same principle be applied to the
schools.
For instance, when a school in a
certain section Of the city becomes
overcrowded instead of erecting a
new building at a great cost to the
taxpayers, would it not be feasible
TO work the same building in a
double capacity? OF course, this
would necessitate two sets Of teach
ers to the one building, the same as
If there were two buildings with one
set of teachers each. This would not
save any money in teachers salaries,
but it would save the cost of new I
buildings. !
Let one set Of teachers hold school :
rom s o'clock in the morning until
o'clock, noon. This would end the
for n lot of pupils. Then let the N
econd set of teachers take charge at r
O'Clock in the afternoon and teach 1,
ntiI 5 o'clock, which would COM &
.ete the day for the second lot Of r,
In this way, practically the &c
me amount of teaching would be n.
We q q
resent system, requires two. II
In a city that is growing as fast as
erth Amboy, where new school =.
1ildings and additions are needed
very year, such a system as this is s.
,orth considering. 4
At present our school buildings :
idle a great deal of the time :
when they might be put to good use. !
