HAVE BIGGEST FAMILY

The Dickey family. of Canaan. Me-.
last fall established the worlds rec
ord they assert, for big family when
there were born to Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Dickey their twenty-second
child. Mr.. and Mrs. Dickey live on
cross road in Canaan with fifteen of
their twenty-five children. Here they
have a sixty-acre farm surrounded by
fence to keep the babies in safety
constant watching to see II
they are going to get run over by
passing teams. Nowhere else would
1t have been possible for a young
couple unaided to bring up with their
own hands such a large family and
supply them with all the necessities OF
life. But Mr.. Dickey, working on this
farm and another one which he owns
free and clear of debt, has been able
to do this and today doesn't owe a
dollar to anybody. He says he and
Mrs. Dickey were put here to be an ex-
ample to the world of what other fam
iliessshould do. Mrs. Dickey is young
looking woman of about forty-five and
Mr. Dickey is happy. contented man

FALLS INTO ANCIENT HOME

While standing on top Of one of
many mounds near Magdalena, in the
billy County of Socorro, N. NJ, Ursu-
10 Borrego, shepherd, sunk knee
deep in the soft earth. He struggled
to free himself and suddenly plunged
on through the crust of ground, fell
through space for 20 feet and landed
on stone floor. He had discovered
one of the apartments of communal
dwelling believed 10 be centuries old.
Borrego, aided by light, which came
IN at the opening he had made in fall
ing. explored the room, which con-
tanned several skeletons, charred red
corn and many pieces OF pottery, sam
pies of which he took with him to Mag
dalena as confirmation OF his story.
Such pottery has sold for $500 apiece
whenever 1t has been found.
The hole through which Borrego fell
luckily was close to the wall of the
prehistoric room, and after proving
about he was able to climb to the sur
face by gaining footholds in the
stones. 1t is not known whether the
room found by the shepherd is one Of
several subterranean dwellings or part
Of an old cliff house, over which the
aborigines had built q mound.

SUMMER ADVERTISING PAYS
Helps Merchants Dispose of Seasonal
Bile Goods and Keep Fresh Stock
on His Shelves.

August Is a month In which news
paper advertisements are eagerly
watched for and read very closely.
Many people have deferred buying ar
ticles Of wearing apparel until the
present times and they are watching
the columns of the newspaper careful
ly for the merchants invitation to
them to come to their store and in
spect their stocks and prices. There
are many others who purchase nearly
all of their summers clothing and
wearing apparel of all kinds during
July from the simple fact that they
know the modern, live and up-to-date
merchant will during this month in
augurate special bargain sales Of sea-
sonable merchandise In order to make
room for his fall and winter stock.
August newspaper advertising Is Gag
erly looked for and carefully read. The
merchant who advertises reaps a rich
reward and gets rid of summer stock
at time when there is a demand for
the merchandise. The merchant who
advertises In August is not the man
who fails to sell his seasonable mer-
chandise and who is compelled to
box 1t up and store it away to be dis
played on his shelves and counters
next season, when styles have changed
and there Is little or no demand for
the goods he carried over and which
trifie.
Newspaper readers realize that the
live merchant is the one who always
has a nice, new, clean, fresh stock OF
goods to show customers each season
during the year.
The value that newspaper advertis-
ing is TO any merchant depends on
the kind Of newspaper he uses as
well as the circulation the newspaper
has. A newspaper that is read by the
most people not only in it's home city
but In the cities and towns surround
ing, is the best medium through
which to reach the people. The paid
the live merchant buys. He wants to
reach the people and he uses the pa
per that the people read. The live
merchant knows that the people read
the newspaper they have confidence
In and respect for. and they also know
that an advertisement in newspaper
of that character is worth more than
1t is in a newspaper that has scarcely
any circulation In surrounding terri
tory. People have confidence in the
paper they read and no one under
stands this better than the really live
merchant

GIANT LOBSTER IN MAINE

The distinction Of being the big
gest lobster in Name" IL not in the
entire country, falls to the mammoth
crustacean owned by Deputy Marchal
Frank Rutherford of Eastport, Me-,
which is the most easterly city on the
Maine coast. The big lobster was cap
tured by a Canadian boatman In the
Bay OF Fundy and brought to East
port, with other shellfish, and it was
purchased by Rutherford, who had the
meat extracted and the crustacean
mounted on a board so that 1t could
be exhibited. When caught 1t weighed
about &c pounds, and with the follow
ing dimensions: Length Of lobster

BILLIONS OF MATCHES USED

II has been estimated that for each
minute of time the civilized nations
of the world strike 100000 matches.
This is said TO be the average for
every minute OF the "a hours OF the
day. Fifteen hundred billion is the
number for the entire year, and those
persons who live under the American
flag are charged with the consumption
OF one half of this amount. Small and
insignificant as II is, the match de-
mands as much attention In the choice
of woods involved as any other for
EFT product. Only the choicest por-
tons OF the best trees are suitable.
Sapwood and knotty or cross-grained
wood will not do. Instead OF being a
by.product, the little match is turned
out in mills where the by-products are<
bulky objects like doors. sash, shin.
giles. sidings, posts and cordwood. The
pines. linden, aspen. white cedar. pop.
lar, birch and willow are tie most
suitable ma,ct timbers.

CANARlES HELP THE CHOIR

Canaries, caroling an unusual ac-
compartment 10 the organ and choir,
were used in the Venice Union church
the other night as an aid to righteous
ness. The pastor, Rev. Fenwicke l..
Holmes, decided to surprise his flock
with the unique plan.
The congregation accordingly filed
into a church frightened by the mel
ody OF a dozen pretty yellow birds. i'm
ported from Germany, their cages
swinging at advantageous points high
above the heads Of the worshipers.
The canaries interrupted the SER
mon very little. But when the choir
and the congregation arose TO sing
hymns, the feathered songsters burst
forth into musical cadences which
greatly enhanced the human praises
OF the Creator.

CANDID ADVERTISING NEEDED
Deliberate Misstatement REGARDING
Goods Means Business Suicide
In the End.

Time was when even reputable mer-
chants lacked full candor in their ad.
vertising. 1t was argued-by people
with ridiculous ideas of the aims and
purposes Of advertising-that the peo-
pie would only believe a small part OF
what an advertiser claimed, anyhow;
hence 1t behooved him to exaggerate
accordingly, so that after the readers
deductions for eXaggerations had been
literally made, a basis of truth would
remain.
AS this was always a false argument

plodedl
Self-respecting, thinking people are

And to deliberately misstate a fact in
advertising now is simply a species of
attempted business suicide.

the confidence or respect of all honest
people would soon find out that there
were not enough dishonest people-or
people who would condone dishonest
advertising-in this town to support
the smallest store In it.

New Idea for Dressmakers.

A New York woman has inaugural
ed a new departure. She sent word
to a number of dressmakers that she
had so many dresses to make, of such
and such materials, and so many 9th
er to be altered, and named the al
terations to be made and asked for
bids. She will probably accept the
lowest bid, and this seems to open up
new field in dressmaking. 1t will
also develop new variety of shrewd-
ness on the part of successful dress
makers-the ability to figure on bids.

One of the proper functions of ad.
vertising is the creation of new de-
sires and new needs among the peo-
pie. This makes for a higher stan.
dard of living. 1t pushes civilization
along. Twenty years ago no one felt
any need for a snapshot camera. To-
day It is almost as necessary as a
guidebook to a tourist.
IL you have commodity or even
an idea of a commodity which would
be good thing for the people. you
need not wait for them to ask for II.
You can by advertising make them
want II and then reap the rewards

 SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 3.-Palm trees weighing 4.5OO pounds are being planted in Lobos Square in prepara- ton for the Panama Pacific Interna- tional Exposition. by a squad of men under the supervision of John Me- I.aren. landscape engineer of the ex- position.
 Lobos Square Is a part of the har- Dor view exposition site. The trees are being planted for experimental purposes. Mir. McLaren is sanguine that the trees which have come from the interior. will take root and flour ish and if at the end of twelve months they show signs of life. they will be transplanted along the Esplanade or some other picturesque section of the grounds.
 Some of the trees received yester- day are twenty feet in height and their branches are thirty feet in length.
 More palms are needed and owners of such trees who are desirous of do- mating them should notify the exposi- ton. MT. McLaren states he will send men to dig up the trees and trans port them to the site. At the close of the worlds fair in 1915. these trees will be removed to Golden Gate and other parks in this city.
