offered a striking illustration of the
value of dogs in criminal detection.

trail early in the affair
Alstaetten was celebrating a feast

floral dances and games In the open

clutched in the victims hand small
piece Of cloth which had evidently
been torn from the clothing of her as
sailant during the struggle.
The police were about to repair to
the restaurant and look among the
dancers for a man whose Clothing
might show signs Of being torn when
it was suggested that dog might be
used. A wolf-hound was procured and
made to smell of the torn cloth. He
started off on the trail, leading the
police through fields and by paths to
the restaurant where the ball was go

$50 Boys Dismissed as Result-Time
Machine Blamed for the
Trouble.

London.-"Strike at the Bank OF
England; Picketing the Old Lady OF
Threadneedle Street." and similar
headlines in the evening papers gave
the city a mild sensation.
One hundred and fifty boys from
the printing department of the bank
were dismissed in the morning and
many of them spent several hours In
marching round and round the great
square building somewhat disconso-
lately, with dinner baskets or parcels
under their arms
The cause of the trouble, the boys
alleged, was the unsatisfactory work
ing of new time checking machine
installed recently to register the In
comings and outgoings of the boys.
1T takes such a long time said
one boy, ito take our checks out
when we go to dinner and put them
in on returning that good part of
the time is wasted. Three boys had
some of their pay stopped for being
late. That was not fair, so we struck
and asked for more time for dinner.
and they dismissed us all with part
of our wages. We get from Is. Sd.

All the Bank of England notes are
printed in Threadneedle street, as
well as Indian notes, postal orders
and old age pension orders. The boys

STORE NEWS WORTH READING
People Who Watch Advertisements
Profit ordingly-Patronize
Slame Merchants.

The merchant who buys space in q
newspaper to tell the news of his
store knows that the news Is worth
telling and is of vital interest to you
or he wouldn't spend that money ad-
vertising. He's trying to tell you
what he has that you should have
and he's just as anxious that you
read and profit by what he tells you
as is the editor of the newspaper that
you read the town news.
You've missed a chance to save
some money if you've missed read
ing the ads. You've overlooked one
of those opportunities for economy
that come along each week to the
readers of the advertisements. You've
let good chance slip, but there are
several more equally good chances
coming.
Now read the ads. You'll be sur
prised-but happily so. by what you
read. You'll find these merchants
using type to distribute really vital
information concerning your needs
and their merchandise.
, Mrs. R went to c. the other
day. She purchased a suit and some
dresses in one of the big stores there.
She paid $35 for the suit and the
cheapest dress she bought cost her
SIS. The suit didn't fit very well so
she had to leave 1t to be altered.
They charged her $3.50 for the altera-
tions. The dresses didn't fit, either,
but she didn't have time to wait so
she brought them home. She just
had three of them. The suit came
and it doesn't fit very we'll.
One of the home town merchants
had the same identical suit adver-
tised for $30-he can afford to sell
them for less than the city merchant
can because his expenses of doing
business are much less. He has
some dresses that Mrs. R admits
are better than the ones she got in
the city and he is selling them for
$15-no charge for alterations
Mrs. R learned her lesson and
she paid a fairly good price for the
knowledge. 1t costs nothing to read
the ads-and the returns are always
big.

Good for Any Business.

The value Of advertising to manu-
facturers as well as to merchants and
retail dealers is well shown by re-
suits which the international Harves-
ter company has had from recent
short advertising campaign in a num-
Der of newspapers. the smaller dailies
and weeklies having only a local cir
culation, not the metropolitan papers.
So successful have been the results
in building up the sales Of the Inter
national Harvester company's machin-
cry that the company has undertaken
a second advertising campaign in
which more than twice as many pa
pers are to be used and double the
amount of space The day has passed
when publicity is not an aid to build
ing up business of all sorts and very
important aid because always profit
able to the business when rightly
applied. Even the churches are
finding that display advertising in the
newspapers brings them larger con-
egations.

Henri Rochefort, veteran polemist
and dean of French journalists. has
laid aside his pen forever
He is almost eighty-two years old,
has been in journalistic harness for
half century, and until the present
indisposition has not missed writing
an article every day for more than
forty years. Even since his eyes be-
gan to fail him, only once has he
missed debating his daily article.
And now the doughty old fighter
takes what he believes to be only
temporary rest at the imperative or
der of his physicians. The paper for
which he has written so many pal
pitating articles announces that no
one replaces him. 1t says in effect
what Jefferson replied when the
French foreign minister welcomed
him with the remark: You replace

ADVERTISE ALL THE TIME
spasmodic Newspaper Publicity Poor
7oIicy-Size of Space Used Should
Also Be Regular.

Would you consider that this news
paper was well managed IL it issued
according to the mood of its publish
ers-instead of at regular, stated and
invariable intervals? asks the Canon
City (Colo) Recordette. Would you
think it a good newspaper if it print
ed a twelve-page issue at one time
and one-page, handbill-size Issue at
another time? Would you feel that
it was serving It's constituency effec-
tually If, now and then. it suspended
issue entirely-to be resumed at some
time when the publishers felt in
clined?
Your store serves your patrons with
store news through its advertising.
They assume that there is always
store news worth telling-store news
that is important to them.
Is is not a poor policy for a store.
as it would be for newspaper, to
serve it's patrons in spasmodic, un-
dependable way? II your store is i'm
portant to the people of the city.
your advertising is important to them
all of the time-not merely now and
then
The size of your advertising space
should not vary any more than the
size of newspaper varies, and the
appearance of your advertising should
be as frequent and as regular as the
appearance of this newspaper.

HIS BUSINESS WAS BOOSTED
Hardware Observation-Disclosures
ing the Sales.

Here Is a simple plan used success
fully by a dealer in implements for
stimulating his paint business. This
dealer found that his paint business
always Jagged when fall approached,
says System, and so he got out cir
cular letter which he sent to the
farmers in the vicinity. The letter
explained the harm done to farm ma
chinery during the winter by rust
and advised coat Of paint to pro-
tect 1t. The scheme worked and that
mans paint business almost equaled
any record he had before.
One hardware man had theN right
idea for selling gas stoves when he
hired vacant building near his store
and gave a luncheon every afternoon
for a week. He hired a man and
cook to prepare the lunch on the
stove and then served his customers
without charge No direct attempt
was made to sell the stove, but of
course while cooking the food the
best points of the stove were brought
out The plan was winner.
There is always something good to
spring on the public. A hardware
merchant in a large city, where free
press notices are few and hard to
land, got a big piece OF advertising
space gratis by an old plan.
A friend had spent vacation In
Florida. and when he returned to the
northern city where this little COM
edy was staged he carried with him
an alligator Well call this walking
leather factory Jim.
Jim was placed in show window
facing a street where thousands OF
people pass every day. He was la
beled as being a couple of hundred
years old, and, of course, attracted
attention. The papers gave space to
descriptions of Jim and the crowd
around the hardware window grew.
The climax came when the merchant
donated Jim, now James. to zoo
thus gaining more space. trade AM
good will.

Why Mammoth Cave Is Unknown.
Mr.. Ebert Hubbard, one of the
most brilliant and entertaining of the
writer's and speakers In America to-
day, not long ago visited the far
famed Mammoth Cave in Kentucky.
He found clumps of willows and
grasses grown up before its entrance.
The large hotel that entertained
hundreds of guests was falling down
and in ruins. Only single family OF
farming people lived near the great
cave.
How is. it, he said, that so many
people once journeyed to visit this
wonderful place. and SO few come
now? He inquired around. He soon
got an answer to his question. 1t
was this: The man who once adver-
tised the Mammoth Cave SO extern
sively a few years ago died. And
with the death of the advertising
manager the great cave, with all its
wonders. dropped out of sight.
1t is the same old story People
won't know what your goods and
your town are unless you advertise.
An enterprising man for 25 years
advertised the Mammoth Cave and
got thousands of people there. Every
fellow used to take his girl there on
their honeymoon. But now 1t is OBJ
scured by a jungle. No one knows
about its wonders Why! The ad
vertising man died.

That he began to raise this same

That forty-nine years and nine
