During the past week several
of the candidates in our piano
contest have been out soliciting
subscriptions to the ADVOCATE
and have added quite large list
of names to our mailing list. In
SEINE instances they were told
by the one being solicited that
he or she was already taking the
paper. giving this as their reason
for not subscribing. Sometimes
this was true and sometimes it
was not. In either case this
statement was unnecessary from
the fact that the girls know ev.
cry one whose name is on the
list before they begin soliciting
in community. If you are al
ready a su bscriber of course this
does not apply to you, but if you
are not, do not try to work this
old scheme on the girls. They
may not tell you so but they
know Just the same before they
start after you.

w men we ueClueu 10 run the
Booster" edition last week we
did not realize the job we had
taken upon ourselves until we
were fairly we'll into the work.
Our reward was the satisfaction
Of duty we'll performed. The
purpose of this extra effort
was to boost and advertise Bar
bourville, and in the accomplish.
ment of this purpose we feel
proud.
A representative Of THE ADvo-
GATE went to Pineville last Fri
day morning on the early train
and boarded the Booster" train
there, and after the train had
left Pineville went through 1t
and presented each man on board
with a copy of The ADVOCATE.
This was an Innovation with them
although they had been away for
several days and had visited
many cities. That the paper was
appreciated was demonstrated
by the fact that nearly every
one, after looking it over, folded
it neatly and put it away to take
back with them as a mementO of
their visit to Barbourville.
1t is not often that the editor
gets ony praise for the work he
does. If he gets out sorry pa
per, which is nearly always the
case, he gets "cussed", and if
he gets out what he thinks is a
good paper he gets "cussed"
some more, but in this case we
feel satisfied. If this was not
the best paper we ever got out
we at least received more praise
for our efforts than we have ever
had before. Although we printed
large mum Der of extra copies they
were all gone by Saturday and
we had many calls, several by
mail, after they were all gone
which we were unable to supply.
Another pleasing feature Of
this edition was the way in which
onr local merchants and business
men contributed to the expense
of this paper by having ads in
serted. Only in three cases were
we fatty refused, and in those
cases it was mostly because they
did not understand the situation
nor the purpose of the extra.
Anyway we are all glad the
booster" train came and hope
that the trip may prove success
full and beneficial to both the
members of the Cincinnati Com
mercial Association and to our
own merchants and business men.
