SAID ABOUT ADVERTISING

Whether an ad pulls or not
generally depends on the push
of the Observation-Disclosures
dom.
The best way to fight the mall
order house is by boosting your
own business and working your
hardest to make it grow.-ln-

"We'Ve all heard of the fellow
who puts the cost of advertis-
Ing into the quality of goods"
says the Southern Advertising
journal, "but none of US have
ever been able to detect the SUI
periorlty of his product"
The advertisement reaches
the man while he is receptive,
but before he assumes the de-
fensive, as he is apt to do with
the salesman. II also reaches
the men who have influence
with the buyer, but who are
inaccessible to the salesman.

The keynote of Gov. Wilson's speech
at the Jackson Day dinner was the
release of the government from pri-
vate control. Said he: Perhaps we
can express our present political OBJ
ject by saying that it is to free gov
eminent and business from private
control. The facts are not doubted
Our Government has for a great many
years been privately controlled. 1t is
not necessary to impeach the motives
or to doubt the integrity or patriotism
of those who have controlled it. 1t IS
only necessary to acknowledge the
fact that government has been con-
trolled in the interest of business. 1t
has been controlled by those whose
power in business was greatest, the
men who in a great measure con-
trOlled business itself"

A-down the years they come to me
From out the crypts of time,
With half forgotten melody
And family falling rhyme;
With here and there a broken chord,
A missing word or phrase,
But sweet as angels whispers are
The songs of by-gone days.
Old tunes touch hidden chords i n

Long mute with age or pain,
And give us for fieeting space
Lost faith and hope again,
Within yon cloudland's far-away
Where swell the hymns of praise,
God grant the angels sometimes sing
The songs of by-gOne days!

The North Paris Bridge Question.

Editor Democrat.
One of the articles which Was passed
over at tie annual town meeting was the
one relating TO an iron bridge over the
outlet of Moose Pond at North Paris vii
lage. To those who have actual knowl-
edge of this bridge this was an unwise
proceeding a. the bridge has been con-
sidered unsafe by the people OF the vii
lage for at least two years. This bridge
was put In the same year a. the SHOWS
Falls bridge which was replaced by an
iron one one year ago. The Shows Falls
bridge was up high and dry whereas this
one was placed In such position that
the water and mud has run on to 1t and
settled there causing 1t to rot much
faster than the Shows Falls bridge
would. w. C. Stearns informed me last
fall that when he examined the bridge
two years ago he ran knife blade into
the sleepers and could strike no sound
wood then and that he had considered
the bridge to be unsafe since then. w.
II. Child says that it would not have
surprised him If the bridge bad gone
down under the accumulated weight OF
snow and ice at any time this winter
when heavy teams have passed over 1t.
The bridge was built II years ago and
there is a large amount OF heavy traffic
over IL; it seems also to be unwise to re-
pair II as IL would be adding SO much
more to the cost and it will need to be
replaced by an iron one sooner or later.
Iron bridges are considered to be much
the cheapest in the long run and 1t seems
unwise to longer delay in replacing this
one with iron.
IL was a surprise to those knowing
the condition of the bridge to learn that
the article was passed over but 1t seems
that no special effort was made at the an
nual meeting to get it passed and con-
sequently II was voted down. It seems
to all the people here that the selectmen
should call special meeting and have
an iron bridge voted which may possibly
save the towna large amount In damages
later II it is not done.

Paris Tax Rate .oIS4.

The assessors of the town of Paris are
busily at work completing the work OF
preparing the commitment OF taxes for
1912. The summary Of the valuation
this year is as follows:
Resident real estate $l,O61 .765OC
Non resident real estate. 2.80C0
Resi- .ent personal estate, 320Ol5.e0
Non resident personal estate, l7,975oO
Total valuation, $l,4s4.6s5.00
This valuation is an increase over last
year of S1S,56000, the increase being
mainly on the resident real estate.
This year the state tax is 6,2O5 SO,
against s9,304 SO last year, and the
county tax is the same as last year,
$2,292.79. With S21, 41500 to be assess
ed for town purposes, this makes total
to be raised by taxation of S29, 9l3.75.
Polls taxed are 935, an increase of only
2 over last year. The rate of taxation ia
IS 40 mills, or $3.50 per thousand,
against rate of 20 mills last year. This
betters q little the reckoning Of the
Democrat, which on the day of the an
nual town meeting forecasted rate of
IS 6-10 mills.
1t has already been noted In the Demo
crat that under law of the last legis-
lature the assessors are required to
assess separately the value of the land
and buildings. As done by the assessors
of Paris this year for the first time, this
produces these figures:
