In this connection we publish a
favorable comment upon the Judges
ability to succeed himself, from one
of the Scranton papers.
Hon. A. T. Searle, Honesdale,
denies that he is a candidate for the
judicial position made vacant hv the
advancement of Judge Archibald. He
says that he is a candidate Ior no
Office except to succeed himself.
Judge Searles popularity and the
ability he has displayed while pre-
siding in the local courts, certainly
give evidence that he is qualified to
succeed himself or any other judge.

the opinion of Prof. Koehler, it was
better for the pupils to buy them,

Irving uses lot of long words that

HON. WILLIAM III. DIMNIICK DE-
LlVERS AN ELOQUENT AD-
DRESS ON "PERSONAL IMPRESS
SIONS OF HORACE GREELEY ~
LARGE AUDIENCE PRESENT
TO HONOR THE MEMORY OF
THE FAMOUS EDITOR.
''The articles this evening are all
concerning the life of Horace Gree
ley, or taken from his writings" re-
marked Principal H. A. Oday at the
beginning of the program given by
the Seniors in the High School Audi
torium, last Friday evening, to cele-
brate the centenary of the birth of
Horace Greeley.
The program follows:
Biography, Helen Caufeld; Gree
ley's Apprenticeship" Anna Kilroe;
vocal solo, Mrs. Rockwell; "Politi-
cal Life" Leon Hagaman; recita-
tation, Fantasies, (POem by Gree
ley), Bessie Kimble; song, by seven
High school boys; defamation, "U.
S. Just After the Revolution" Ar
thur Saunders; Greeley AS a Lect-
urer," florence Sluman; piano solo,
Miss Freeman; defamation, Con
tinuation of United States Just After
The Revolution" Charles Markle;
Greeley and the N. Y. Tribune
Sarah Menner; chorus, by seventeen
High school girls.
In introducing the Hon William
H. Dimmick, who made the address
of the evening, Prof. Oday said that
when the thought of holding a Gree
ley meeting came to him he cast
about in his mind to find some one
who knew Mr.. Greeley personally,
and that he at once thought of Mr..
Dimmick. "Mr. Dimmick," said
Prof. Oday, was a Greeley Demo-
crat. He is not one of the old-time
men; he's just old enough to con-
meet us back to Mr.. Greeley. l don't
believe there's a man in Honesdale
who has a warmer place in his heart
for the boys and girls"
Mr.. Dimmick said among other
things: ,r

MR.. CHAIRMAN, LADIES AND

CURING A SICK BUSINESS
Same Principles Needed to Put 1t
Back on Profitable Basis as II
Treating Human Ills.

The manager OF store put up an
advertising proposition to his board of
directors, which meant the expendi-
ture Of nearly $4,000 more in the year
than they had ever spent before.
One Of the directors, with very de-
cided views, opposed carrying out the
plan to the extent proposed, on the
ground that 1t represented TOO
MUCH MONEY, and wanted it cut
down about half
The manager, fortified by the other
directors, fought hard to have his
plan approved of. Finally in despera-
ton, he said to the objecting director:
IF YOU WE'RE SICK YOU
WOULD CALL ONE OF THE BEST
DOCTORS YOU COULD GET.
Now, | have employed the BEST
ADVERTISING DOCTOR in the coun-
try, who has submitted this plan.
ITO me it is INTELLIGENT and
will cure our business ills. Just at
the present time our business is sick.
Now II a doctor prescribed for you,
and you went to druggist who told
you it would cost IS to fill the pre-
scription, would you say to the drug
gist:
81 don't want to spend more than
$3.50 on that prescription - lust
WEAKEN THE PARTS ONE-HALF,
and will pay you $3.50 for it,
III you did this THE MEDICINE
WOULD NOT BE EFFECTIVE and
you would not get we'll.
The same PRINCIPLE applies to
this advertising plan of ours 1t has
got to be whole cathartic instead of
a half one"
This presentation of the matter
brought round the obiecting director
He withdrew his objections and the
advertising will be put out as planned.

Fame's a Jade.

Signor Pucinni, celebrated for his
operas, is still young man. On the
subject of his early success the 1tal-
ian composer said recently in New
York
u have been very lucky. Recogni-
ton for artistic work comes so often
after one is too old to enjoy it.
"I remember one of my country
men, a centenarian, who, had he died
before 20 would never have seen any
of his operas produced. Luckily he
lived to so great an age that he re-
ceived for many years the admiration
he deserved. Naturally enough, though
this splendid artist regretted his
years of obscurity and neglect and he
frequently spoke bitterly of his bad
fortune.
"Once at the very end of his long
life an Englishman entered his box at
the opera in Rome, and said, respect
fully:
81 have travelled all the way from
London to see the author of my favor
ite opera.
'The veteran composer, with ma
licious smile, replied:
"'Well, my friend | have given you
plenty of time to get here"

ADVICE ON VALUE
Of ADVERTISING
BY VIM. c. Freeman.

An advertising booklet was dropped
on my desk recently. l cannot recall
now from whence 1t came, for l would
like to give due credit to its author
for the following gem which clipped
from Its pages:
''No-advertising is NOT a game
Nor is it A GAMBLE
TT is the powerful essence of selling
which, when handled in a practical.
SANE manner. creates MORE BUSI-
NESS, lowers SELLING COST, elm
mates the ume-wasting Introductory
work of your salesmen.
"Shorn of the mystery that many
attempt to put about 1t, advertising
without waste and extravagant the
ories is your greatest trade builder.
Forget the idea that 1t takes big
money to advertise.
SWEEP ASIDE the awesome veil
that makes a valuable trade builder
seem mystery.
INVESTIGATE advertising as you
would investigate the claims Of a big
salesman covering the wide world as
his territory.
Then you'll be starting on the right
track.
You'll see that judicious advertis-
ing is PRACTICAL AND PROFIT
ABLE"
This is sound doctrine.
And let me add to the above the
following from MR.. JOHN WANA-
MAKER
"If there is one enterprise on earth
that gutter should leave severely
alone 1t is advertising. To make a
success Of advertising one must be
prepared to STICK like barnacle on
boats bottom.
ADVERTISING DOES NOT JERK
1T PULLS. 1t begins very gently at
first, but the pull is steady. 1t in
creases day by day and year by year,
until 1t exerts an irresistible power"
What's the use of people talking
foolishly about advertising?
1T ALWAYS PAYS WHEN IT is
DONE RIGHT.
Why should not every man who has
something to sell advertise?
And don't forget that advertising
creates market for brains as we'll as
for things to eat and to wear.
Professional men will advertise
some day-just as successful MER-
CHANTS do today.
