Among the steps of progress 10 be
recorded In our young national career
are the increased honesty and dimin-
ished dishonesty OF commercial ad-
vertising. The change is perhaps most
noticeable in that hybrid and amph1bi-
Gus trade of dry goods" The public
is now quite used to seeing the sale Of
such wares announced In fairly plain
terms, without spurious aHurements OF
euphemtsm or sulogy, whereas TWEEN
V or thirty years ago lying was
thought to be a matter of common
sense by shopkeepers who advertised
Of course all advertising has a COM
mercial basis, whether 1t makes known
a railway time table or a school course,
a brand of whisky or church service.
Meanwhile the pleasing improvement
in dry goods" advertising has reach
ed the remarkable degree of at least
one merchant setting forth the rela-
tive advantages and disadvantages of
two articles offered to the public. This
Brutus of business says concerning one
kind Of raincoat that it is mot abso-
lu.tely water tight" though proof
against any ordinary shower" The
other kind, he tells you, '1s water
tight" but, since the body's heat and
moisture do not escape, this accumula-
ton or secretion "dampens the inside
of the coat besides making the wearer
uncomfortably hot" Is it not rather
new thing for a trader to pay money
to a newspaper for telling the public
the defects of things he wants to sell?

walked, his heart misgaye him. How
could he infiict such daformtty upon
his daughter? His neighbors would
be forever laughing at him, In their
sleeves If not openly. Nevertheless a
Dutchman of those days nsver gave
up a purpose. Gerrit had no thought
OF receding from his plan, but a nat
ural tenderness for his only child In
duced him to comfort her.

1t was a strange wedding procession
that walked up what is now Broad
way to the church The ears of the
groom tapped in the wind, and the
townspeople crowded the wedding
party to get a view of him, not scru-
pling to vent their mirth IN loud guf-
faws. In the church the dominic had
hard time to keep the people from
unseemly behavior and hurried through
the words, and II the couple had been
Hans and Mary instead of Peter and
Anneka no one would have known the
difference When the twain were pro-
nounced man and wife and they had
turned and faced the people to leave
the church the groom put his hands to
his ears and, to the surprise of every
one, pulled them off.
For a time there was a silence after
which came at intervals explosions of
laughter as the phlegmatic Dutchmen
one after another got it into their
heads that the man had worn false
ears Meanwhile the bridal couple
started down the aisle, the groom grin
ming from ear to ear, the bride smiling
contentedly on his arm
At the door Gerrit Ten Brock came
running up to them to ask what 1t all
meant, but was stopped by a stranger
who appeared on the scene with ears
somewhat larger than the usual size,
though not especially noticeable He
announced himself as Peter Ten Eycke.

THE WIRELESS TREATY


The International wireless treaty re-
sulting from the Berlin convention of
1905 has been heard from again in
Washington. At the Berlin convention
the American delegates took full part
in the proceedings, but because of
their construction of their authority
under the instructions they did not
sign the agreement made, and further
delay resulted from the senate leaders
The opposition to the treaty has
came from interests engaged in the
business Of selling apparatus for wire
less systems, mainly to private con-
Germs and amateurs.
The American delegates to Berlin
materially assisted in carrying to a
successful issue the following princi-
pies:
"First-The principle that calls of
ships in distress should have priority
of transmission over all other wireless
messages.
"Sscond.-That coast stations and
seagoing ships installed with wireless
apparatus should be compelled to ac
cept and practice the principle of in
accommodation with shore stations
and seagoing ships provided with ap
paratus of a different system
'-Third--That it was well within the
province of the international agree
ment to regulate the toll or fare of ex-
change of radio-telegrams.
"Fourth.-That government business
should have priority of call under GER
tain contingencies. 1t was along hu-
manitarian lines that our delegates
contended that at certain periods of
each day the commercial exchange of
radio-telegrams should cease for brief
intervals In order that shipping on the
high seas might be furnished with
information regarding approaching
storms, position of floating derelicts,
impairments to important coast lights
and ths exact noon time at Washing

why there should be an early adjourn

"The Spring Maid"


The story of THE Spring Maid"
which is quite familiar by this time,
is briefly told:
Prince Nepomuk, great in name but
poor in purse, has a daughter Prin-
cess Bobena, whom he is anxious to
marry to some titled gentleman with
money. On the way to the festivities
of Carlsbad Springs, they meet the
Prince Aladar who likes a pretty face
when it's possessor has no blue blood
in her veins. Of course the Prince
does not know that Bozena is prin-
cess, else he would not have spoken
his likes and dislikes while in her
presence. What he says leads Bozena
to impersonate Annamirl, THE Spring
Maid" at Carlsbad, so as to get re-
venge on the Prince. She falls in love
instead, and so does the Prince. In her
his bride until the spring runs dry
His case seems hopeless, but way
is discovered to manipulate the spring
and all ends happily.
The opera is full of dainty melo-
dies and pretty songs; conspicuous
among them are the seductive waltz
song, Day Dreams" the pretty duet
of romance, 1.-TWO Little Love Bees,
THE Fountain Fay" and How l Love
A Pretty Face"
Miss Macdonald will have in her
support the company which has been
associated with the opera ever since
it's New York run.

that we waste our strength and nerve

twice. the first time in Imagination. A
fear of what the future contains is a
clog upon our heels and prevents the
achievement. of many an important

GARFIELD NOTES

Garfield pupils have now organized
for winter athletics. The school has
been divided into two groups, as near
ly equal as possible, and each of
these groups has again been divided
into two sections on the basis of age
and size. Basketball teams have been
organized in each section of each
group of both boys and girls, and the
contest for supremacy in this game
is now on. The same divisions will
be retained for the whole year in all
lines of sports and ii is possible that
some plan of scoring will be adopted
by which to rank the divisions in
athletics as a whole. So far the plan
has met with enthusiastic support
from the pupils.
Much interest exists at Garfield in
the movement for a REIMBURSEMENT of
school hours that would result in the
closing of the school day at an earlier
hour than at present. This matter
was taken up by the school council
OF Garfield several years ago and
there has been movement toward
this end each term since then. Clos
ing the school work earlier in the af-
ternoon would make it possible to or
ganize classes in industrial training
carpentry. metal working, cooking.
sewing. millinery, printing, different
, lines of work in leather, etc.-for
those who would like TO be making
some definite preparation for some
trade in life. The earlier closing
would also enable those who need to
get employment outside school hours
to help meet the expense of the family
to give to this employment enough
time to make 1t worth while.
