Sid as he & had - and then took
our leav- Tor the Matt Long
school house where we found
Miss Mae Nickel in charge. We
were at once favorably Impress
ed with the general appearance
Of things ir this school. The
floor had just been washed clean,
the walls were hung with nice
pictures, maps, ETC., and evefy-
thing had an air of cleanliness,
order and good cheer. The
school was graded an a schedule
Of recitations posted. When we
asked the teacher whether she
needed help she replied that she
would be glad to have any sug-
gestions that would make the
work better and asked for a talk
on the enforced attendance law.
A new. schedule of recitations
was arranged.
Our next stop was at the Hal
sey school house, where Mitchell
Carter is teaching. He told US
that grading was his chief need
as some Of the pupils were carry Z
ing studies too hard for them
Soon matters were properly ar
ranged and a schedule prepared.
and after explaining the school
law that most concerned them,
and being assured by the teacher
that we had made his work
shorter and easier, we took our
leave,
Our next and last school visit
ed was at Grassy Lick where Mr.
Ross was in charge. mas force
full a way as we could we talked
to the pupils and pointed out to
them that it was the duty of the
teacher TO put them back, if nee
essary, into studies best suited
bo their needs. Then we took up
the work of grading the school
and arranging a schedule Of rec
itations. He assured us that his
work would be more pleasant
and profitable for both teacher
and pupils and we rode away
leaving him to continue his good
work. In this section of schools
we found a better school spiriu
than has formerly prevailed
/ throughout Eastern Kentuclzv4
let us all unite in greater efforts
for the general good Of our RI

Advertising Talk No. 3.

1t cost a baking powder con-
cern SIS, 100000 one year not to
advertise. Relying on the repu-
tation they had built by a long
campaign of advertising they
tried one year without it with the
above results. You do not know
what your not advertising is
costing you.
The secret Of successful adver-
tising is keeping your business
SO constantly and so prominently be-
fore the public that a conscious
ness of a need in your line calls
to the mind that you have it for
sale. 1t. requires constancy in
effort to get the most out of ad-
vertising. A live advertiser
never lacks for trade.

Everybody likes to be praised
now and then even the hired
man.
The long, dry summer days,
when fiiss multiply by the billion
and the air is filled with dust, are
/. trying to stock. Alittle kindness
in the matter of a sufficient sup
ply of water, and some sort OF
protection against flies and other
Fostering insects, will be greatly
appreciated by our dumb friends
though they were unable to
thank us in words.
When you are tempted to
kick or scold your horse, stop and

this to any other friend?" Of

should you to a horse?

CLEAN YOUR SIDEWALKS.

One good thing about a snow storm
is that it GENERALLY aids the poor. for
manyget temporary jobs and then, be-
sides, it gives exercise to a lot who
wouldn't get it otherwise
Now this is pretty picture. but in
our Lake county towns and cities they
don't live up to the snow ordinances
and the poor men looking for a job
gets it-not. And very few get exer-
else but a lot others get some bad
falls and everybody has hard sled
ding tramping over snow-covered
walks.
In this connection we would like to
ask why the city administration
doesn't get busy and institute a few
prosecutions against rich property
owners who do not clean off their
walks?
The people would like to know.
