A FEATURE OF SPECIAL MERIT

When approaching age and disease
cast its shadow over the life of James
Whitcomb Riley recently, a nation
mourned the loss even for a time II
the singer who had given to them such
sweet and tender lyrics of the heart
and home. And the announcement
thOt the shadow had been somewhat
lifted though it could never be en-
tirely dissipated again brought thrills
of pleasure to those who love the
rythm and sentiment of AN Old
Sweetheart of Nine" "Keep-Deep IN
June" and the other verse that has
made the name of Riley household
word throughout the nation.
It's a poor lover who has not
enjoyed the music and the pleasing
sentiment of AN Old Sweetheart of
Nine" with all of its delightful and
never-to-be- forgotten association OF
school days and the throb of the heart
when love is young. For the young
people of America it might be called a
primer of first love, an introduction
to the larger library of lyric verse
that celebrates the fortunes and yicis-
STUDIES of the young man and he
young girl in love.
1t is with genuine qualification that
the Times-Recorder is enabled to give
to its readers a series of twelve poems
of exceptional lyric quality from the
pen of James Whitcomb Riley. These
poems are presented with hand letter
ing and decorations by Ralph Fletcher
Seymour, the first of the series, For
You" appearing elsewhere on this
page to-day. Though of a later vint-
age, this poem has depth and del
icacy of sentiment that makes it typ
zeal of Riley's verse and representa-
tive of the series that will appear
from day to day.
These poems represent the more
mature work of Riley, and are for that
reason probably the most represent
alive of the work he has done. They
are we'll worth clipping and preserv-
ing, both on account of the excellence
of the verse and the artistic decora-
ton accompanying them. 1t is with
pleasure that The Times-Recorder
presents this feature of unusual merit
to its readers, having assurance in
advance that they will meet with
the full approval of every lover Of
popular and pleasing verse.

ADVERTISING THAT
GIVES BEST RESULTS
BY William C. Freeman.

K. S. Fenwick recently made very
Interesting talk before Canadian busi-
ness men on the subject of adveris-
ing, in which he said:
There are two methods Of advertis-
ing in common today. The first might
be described as business building"
and the second as business stimulat-
sag"
The first Is used persistently, sys-
Dramatically, intelligently, for the pur-
pose of making more sales, day by day
and month by month, than were made
In the corresponding period of the pre-
vious year.
The second is used for the purpose
of making the sales take a sudden
jump, when it is found that business
is dull, when it is desired to raise
money, or when any one of hundred
other conditions may arise
The first, used alone, results in
permanent gain and continuous
growth, when intelligently applied
the second, used alone, even when ac-
comprising the desired result, in
yariably leaves the business in a
weakened condition, from which it
takes time to recover.
We all like to see quick results
that is natural. We are inclined to
consider the immediate benefit as
more important than the ultimate
profit, on the principle that "a bird
IN the hand is worth two in the bush.
But it should be remembered that con-
tinuous advertising has a cumulative
influence worth more than the sum
of its immediate, lraceable returns.
The cumulative effect of continuous
advertising is to build up public conf
dence and to sell goods through the
influence of repeated suggestions.
The constant dropping of water on
a stone will wear it away in one spot
the constant contact with the adj
vertisements of any business will
make an ever increasing impression
on the public mind
Stop the dropping and the stone will
soon wear smooth-stop the advertis-
ing, and the impression will soon be
crowded out and replaced by other i'm
pressions.
The trouble with special effort in ad.
vertising is that the desire to stimu-
late business creates a condition that
makes the merchant sometimes very
we'll contented with the results of ad-
Fertising, but more often it makes him
feel as though advertising has lost it's
power
The steady, long pull-always at It
always giving good value-always
making good ones promises-always
being painstaking in the matter of
services the kind of advertising
that in the long run gives permanency
and reputation and profit to a bush
ness.
Spend what you can afford, but
spread the amount over a persistent
course of advertising. Whatever you
do. don't be spasmodic.

RECENT RAILROAD DECISIONS

By several recent decisions of the
Supreme Court the position of the
Interstate Commerce Commission is
strengthened and this by view of the
Constitution and the laws which is
certain to canuse much anguish to
those who believe in States rights. Iii
two of the cases the right of the COM
mission to establish freight rates, re-
gardEess of state orders, was upheld,
while in a third the commission was
sustained in its power to enforce Fed
eral ours-of-service" regulations.
These decisions are held to be .mucn
more important than some may at
first imagine. They APPARENTLY differ
in general tone from a number of re-
cent decisions of the same courts
which have given the States large
powers. But all of the decisions are
based on Constitutional provisions.
The Supreme Bench insists that the
Constitutional right of Congress 10
regulate commerce between the
States cannot be abrogated or in
fringed by any State laws which, al
though purporting to have validity only
inside State lines, actually affect inter
State commerce. 1t is recognized that
the intra-State commerce is getting to
be very small proportion of the
whole and that no State may make
regulations concerning it which are to
have any effect upon the Interstate
business.
This seems reasonable, but another
decision which decided that the State
laws of North Carolina requiring a
railroad to accept all freight offered
and to ship it promptly was invalid
would see INTO be dictatorial But the
court pointed out that in this case the
/ Federal and State statutes cOnflicted,
and those of the nation must be held
paramount 1t was really a technical
dGSlSIOu vi COllIpdl dllNClg llltl6 lllN
"ortar"e, seeing that measures have
been taken to adjust the matters in
controversy.
/ Rut perhaps the most important
part of any Of these decisions was
that which held expressly that mere
matter of return on capital invested
must not 'be made the sole basis of
fixing rates. In many State cases,
notably in Pennsylvania, it has been
held that transportation companies
were in any event entitled to a reas-
enable rate of profit and that States
could not make rates which lowered
this net income. The Supreme Court
says that the subject is much larger
one and that the reasonableness of
rates must be based on general con-
ditions 1t may be that this will be
very important in its effect on future
State litigation.

A bill is before the Mississippi leg
islature requiring the Bible to be read
at the opening of public schools Of
the state every morning. Many papers
in that state insist it should go fur
Their than that and require that it be
studied Aside from any religious
belief, but as classic and for pure En-
glish, the Bible is the greatest book
ever written, and the most quoted
book. No mans education is nearly

An ancient Connecticut blue law
