Every merchant wants to know
why he is not doing more business.
Every merchant can do little better
if he tries along the right lines. Ev-
cry merchant can carry little more
advertising if what he has carried
has been of advantage. In estimat-
ing the amount to be used during
May it must be remembered that the
space used in April was a forerunner
of the coming season and the space
taken next month will be a gauge by
which can be measured the success of
the work done in the past month.
Advertising is a barometer by which
the merchant can measure and by
which he is measured and it is we'll
to make the space of the future COM
mensurate with the business of the
past.

Steam Shovel flushed
For Sick Woman.

a city hall man today told story Of
rather striking instances Of considera-
ton. Here they are:
J. W. Maddox was grading a lot at
the corner Of Walton and Barlow
streets, where r. NJ Grant will erect A
new building. He has time contract
and was rushing the work with noisy
steam shovel. George w. Muller APP
preached him
81 know this is an unusual request
he said, but my sister is at the point
OF death at that hospital across the
way and the noise Of your steam shove
disturbs her very much. ! want you to
stop the shovel until she has passed the
crisis"
Mr.. Maddox consulted Mr.. Grant and
today the shovel has stopped And ~
promised that the workmen would be
quiet until there was change in the
womans condition.
city Clerk Walter Taylor was re-
minded by this to tell how he kept a
crowd Of baseball fans quiet at every
game for week because Of the illness
Of a woman near by. It was al the OLD
grounds on Jackson street. Every aft
ernoon he walked out in front OF the
grandstand and requested the fans t.
refrain from cheering and shouting be-
cause IL would disturb the sick woman
And they obeyed.

Chief Beavers Fears
The Speeding Law.

Chief j. l.. Beavers, head Of that
illustrious uniformed body sometimes
called "Atlantas finest" has bought
himself an automobile
Before buying he announced to his
friends that he was not suddenly be-
coming a plutocrat. He still was a
plain, unvarnshed citizen, but lived in
West End, which was considerable dis
tance-such a distance, in fact, as
could not be achieved quickly by any
thing less than a motor car. Hence the
purchase.
As is generally the case. new posses
sion has brought new and troubous
anxieties to the chief BY tempera
ment and constitution he is not slow
one. Whenever he starts anywhere he
likes to get there as quickly as possible
Therefore, his first impulse, when he
laid HIS hand to the helm OF his new
machine. was to open 'em up" Before
said impulse had a chance to register
itself into a definite resolve. however
the chief remembered about the speed
laws, and desisted
He is now labOring under the con-
slant fear that he will let er get above
the sixteen mile or therea bouts" limit
and that some Jealous pat-olman will

URGES TARIFF ON
MEAT Be LIFTED
Argentine Republic Would Send
Surplus Supply Here, CauS-
ing Big Cost Reduction.

NIAGARA FALLS, AUG. Am at
tack upon the meat tariff was made
by Milo Westbrooke, chairman Of the
legislative committee. In hts report be-
fore the international Stewards associ-
alton here. Westbrooke concluded his
remarks with the statement that with
the tariff off meats round steak will go
to ten cents a pound and other cuts will
be proportionately cheap
BY vote Of the convention, the leg
islative committee was instructed to
start vigorous campaign to have a
Federal law passed that will admit
meats to the United States free Of duty.
According to the year book Of the
department Of agriculture, said the
speaker, the number OF mich cows
in this country has not increased dur
ing the past five years. As the mich
COW is the source Of the supply Of beef,
We can not look for any immediate in
crease in the domestic supply. We,
therefore, must continue to pay ex-
orbitant prices for meat or turn to the
foreign markets for a supply adequate
to meet the growing demands.
THE finest OF grass is grown in great
abundance in the Argentine Republic. /"
continued the speaker. This, with per-
feet climatic conditions, makes. the Ar
gentine an ideal place TO raise cattle
and sheep, for they Craze out in the
open Ss5 days in the year. Considering
the fact that only seven per cent of the
acreage OF the Argentine Republic Is
under cultivation and that their eX-
ports OF meats have increased 500 per
cent during the past ten years, we need
not worry about an ample supply of
meat II our legislators will amend the
laws by removing the tariff on It and
thereby open the doors for the Argen-
tine Republic TO dispose OF their rapid
ly increasing surplus"
