rade with his corn stalk on the open

on things in general is as good as
any mans and better than about so
per cent of us.
This just goes to show how little
you or anybody else who is not in the
business knows about diamonds, and
anything else in the jewelry line.
You are probably making as great
mistake as this man did. You

could sell him by picking up bar

the rings in his hands which we were
showing and pricing him.
We argued that he did not know
whether he was buying cheap or
high. Oh, yes, he did. He knew
something about diamonds; you
couldn't fool. him.
He asked what one of the rings
he was looking at could be bought
for, and we priced it just 500 less
than it was worth SIS less than we
could buy it for). He guessed it was
too high for him. :.

special act of the Legislature the
question of the repeal of the act in
cooperating that town resulted in a
decisive victory for those opposed to
repeal, the vote being 8 for to 13
against.
1t is understood that those who
favored surrendering the corporate
rights of the town wanted the acr
repealed so the streets would be
worked by the county road gang. 1t
is said that the county, in fact, by
arrangement with the commission

Herod and receiving as pay the street

THE NEW ADVERTISING LAW
REQUIRES THE MARKING OF ALL
PAID READING NATTER.
Under Recent Enactment by Con-

the Publishers of Paper.


gress 1t Is Not Optional With
the Publishers of Paper.
Many business men are apparently
not aware of the new United States
law regulating and exercising a sort
of censorship over newspapers.
News matter items and communi-
cations of an advertising nature for
which compensation is to be receiv-
ed must be marked as advertise
ments.
There is nothing inherently inn
moral in the publication of such no.
tees unmarked. The custom hereto
fore has been to indulge patrons in
this way. But the new federal law
makes it absolutely obligatory on a
newspaper to mark all such notices
as advertisements. and to mark them
plainly.
The law in question, adopted by
congress August oath, 1912, reads as
follows:
Cali editorial or other reading
matter published in any such news
paper for the publication of which
money or other valuable considera-
tons is paid, accepted or promised
shall be plainly marked Advertise
ment. Any editor or publisher
printing editorial or other reading
matter for which compensation is
paid, accepted or promised without
so marking the same shall upon con-
viction in any court having jurisdic-
ton be fined not less than $50 nor
more than $500"
AS will be seen, it is no longer
optional with a publisher whether an
item of this character Is marked or
not The federal law says it must
be marked Advertisement" 1t is
accordingly useless to ask any pub
Usher to insert such paid notices
without so indicating them.
