Nine. Coromilas writes that she lives
in u palace, but is compelled to keep
most of the place closed because Of lack
of male servants who have gone to fight
for their country. She is forced to take
her meals and live in her boudoir, "a
large. beautiful room with three French
windows opening into an enormous mar

the war, the cook and cocher are going,
and the family horses have been forcibly
taken. and two small, half-dead ones
were left in their place, the letter states.

clared that the merchant should ad'

Of his goods rather than depend on
advertising prices. He spoke In par'

chant of today, whether in a large

with modern conditions. One of the
most important Of these Is the fact
! that this Is a great age Of publicity.

its usefulness in this respect Is only
beginning.
people depend upon their news
papers and magazines for informa-
ton on what to buy and wnere to buy.
II We would be successful we must
tell the public that we have to offer.
We must, through the ~judicious use
of printers ink, convince the people
that our wares are desirable and that
our values are consistent with the
prices asked. The ultimate end OF
the non-advertising retailer is very
prophetically depicted in a little in
cident credited to Mark Twain. Dur
ing Mark Twain's newspaper days
one of his readers found a spider
in his copy of the paper and wrote
Mark asking what it meant. The
reply vas that the spider was look
ing over the columns of the paper to
ascertain who were the non-advertis-
ers so that he could weave his web
over their doors.

does not advertise the people of his
community are not advised Of the
fact that he has reliable and desir-
able goods or that he offers excellent
values. They read the announce
ments of the large city merchants;
they are attracted to the cities or, In
too many instances, they fall victim
to the aluring literature of the mail
order houses. Trade which rightfully
belongs to them is leaving solely be-
cause of lack of publicity. For this
reason it is obvious that extensive
advertising is one of the strongest
weapons that the country merchant
possesses against the giant mail or.
der houses.
But If it is true that it pays the
small town merchant to advertise ex-
tensively. II it is true that advertising
is one of the merchants most extern

questions of some of our readers, re-
garding the present status Of the in
junction against the village board, we
can say that Judge Crawford gave an

were not special Improvements, but
general improvements, and that it was
the business Of the board to have
such improvements made according
to the boards Judgment. That the
board was supposed to use their judy
ment as to what improvements were
to be made, and that it was not the
