SATISFACTORY RETURNS
OF ADVERTISING

Effort which is intelligently di-
rected through publicity brings larg-
er returns than any other legitimate
method. This is often demonstrated
in business of many sorts and no
where does it show up with such
continuous activity as in newspaper
advertising Rightly placed an adj
yertisement is an invitation to a pos
sfble customer that has vital
weight, The advertisement of rep
utable business, in the pages of a
reputable newspaper, is illustrating
the word of honor of the man behind
the publicity A merchant tells
through an advertisement what he
wants the public to know. He states
fact. That fact, If he is the reput-
able man he should be, can be de-
pended upon, day after day and is
sue after issue of the paper in which
his publicity is gained. 1t is the trade
mark Of his calling, the guarantee Of
honest merchandising and the adver-
tisements Of these reputable dealers
are readable,
And advertising brings in larger
returns. 1t is impossible to find a
method that will make moro dollars,
for the investment, as can be brought
out in trade directed by intelligent
advertising Of honest merchandise or
honest needs or wants. The money
spent in this way reaches directly
more people than could possibly be
found by any other square method.
And there are countless illustra-
tons where it has been shown that
advertising pays. There is a recent
case where local man applied for
the fulhllment Of desire through
the classified columns Of this paper.
per. The cost, entirely, was less than
a dollar, for four Insertions The first
days paper brought him thirty-eight
replies and during the running Of
the advertisement there were fifty re-
sDonses. 1t would have been impos-
sible to have gained what was thus
gained, in any other manner, than
by the expenditure Of a great many
times this much money.-Ex.

HIGH THINKING AND
Low LIVING
By Ruth Cameron

High ideals are beautiful and Won
derfnl things. It is always an in
miration to me to meet anyone who
| has some aspiration and some sense
Of responsibility in life beyond sur
rounding himself and his own with
all the comforts and pleasures and
friends possible, and living pleas
lantly from day to day.
| But conversely, it is always a sad
dening establishment to find my
ideaIist notably failing to live up to
the little obligations of daily living.
And yet how often one finds this
sad combination grand thinking
and petty living. stern ideals and
slack realities! or instance. young
woman crossed my path this summer
whose beautiful ideals about the
brotherhood of man and our response
bility to wards our less fortunate fell
low creatures were a stimulant to me
And then one day heard the woman
with whom she boarded telling how
much trouble and extra work this
particular girl had caused by being
consistently and unnecessarily late
to meals. The hostess is a very hard
working little widow who is evident
ly oyer-taxing her strength, and most
Of her guests-even though they do
not have ideals as to the brotherhood
of man-do all they can to make it
easier for her. Naturally, after that,
my young friends ideals failed to in
spire me.
Again, the most impassioned cham
pion of justice and equal rights for
all whom l evtr knew was a young
mEn who lived in a boarding house
and was disliked by all his mates be-
cause he would keep possession of
the bathroom at the rush hours just
about twice as long as the law of JUS
tice and equal rights for all allowed.
Just the other day my shampoo
lady came an hour early, inquiring
anxiously if could have my treat
mcnt then, and explaining that i.
would be great favor if l could, for
Mrs. s., whom she usually treated at
that hour, had gone to town and left
word that she would postpone her APP
pointment until that afternoon. That
had thrown out her entire schedule,
and unless could accommodate her,
she said she didn't know what she
would do Now Mrs. S. is a woman
of unusually high ideals of justice.
Wasn't it strange that it didn't occur
to her to put them into practice in
the relations of daily life?
OF course, we all know many very |
well intentioned people who cause in
finite inconvenience and unhappiness
by slaekness in paying their debts.
ITO talk of living the higher life and
to ignore the financial integrity of
keeping ones debts promptly and ac-
curately paid" someone has said, lis
to speak meaningless jargon."
Now there are many kinds of con
sis'ency which are absolute folly. AS,
for instance, that which makes
man cling to position after he has
one to realize it is a mistake. But
the consistency which makes man
try to live in little things as he talks
in big ones, surely is a jewel.
And they who lack this consisten-
~ are taking a meaningless jar
con- when they try to tell us about ]
their IDEALS !

WONDER how the Commercial club directors now

SUREST and speediest way to get back to the soil
Is to take up aviation. Every aviator soon gets his

DESPITE the sensational evidence in the Hanford
case Saturday it was rather dry day." Not
drink was mentioned
BICYCYE riders and motorcyclists evidently
thought the commission just 'sfooling when they
passed that ordinance prohibiting riding ON side
walks.
THIRTYFIVE witnesses have sworn that they
have seen Hanford drunk. He has been seen drunk,
according to the testimony street cars the pub
lie Streets in Saloons in hotels barber Shops and
ON THE BENCH. And yet there were some pre-
sumably honest men who instead Of waiting to hear
the evidence in the case against Hartford rushed to
his defense and they now stand committed to his
whole disgracefnl record.

teawan, was no longer prosecut-
ing attorney, but the state re-
tanned him to conduct its case,
and Thaw stayed in the asylum,
at a cost of about $45, 900 to the
state, and 100000 to Thaw.
In 1911 Thaw had more alien
lists ready to swear that he was
fit to be at liberty, and again the
state had to give him a hearing.
He did not get out. He waited a
year, and tried again. The third
hearing has recently concluded,
and within a couple of weeks, 1t
is expected, Justice Keogh will
decide whether this last attempt
of the young Pittsburger to OBJ
tain his freedom has been sue
cessful.
Thaw has announced that IL 1t
is not, he will demand another
hearing next year, and one every
year until he Is set at liberty. His
mother, despite the drain of the
trials and hearings, still has a
huge fortune, and it is at Harry &
disposal.
The state paid it's alienists
$4,000 for their evidence at the
last hearing. Jerome, again on
the job to keep Thaw behind bars
is said to have received $4,000.
In this hearing 775,000 words
of testimony were taken, making
$500 typewriter pages.

He's the man who's in trouble
deep enough to drown most men.
The investigating committee of
the state legislature has brought
charges of graft ranging from
traffic in pardons to rake-offs
from "blind tigers" William ].
Burns, detective, sir, has been on
the job down in the old Palmetto

evidence against the governor to
cause impeachment proceedings
and possibly an Indictment by

Cooley?
When he heard about the
charges he shouted: Liars. II
Then he got rid of a few choice
epithets such as "dirty set OF
sneaks," "Cowardly little puppy

endearment.
Thomas B. Fielder, an Atlanta
attorney, and Ira B. Jones, pres

NEW YORK, July %. The
murder of Stanford White was
one of the most expensive crimes
ever committed.
1t has cost the state of New
York about $3.50. 900 to get
Harry X. Thaw into the Mattea-
wan insane asylum and keep him
there. Thaw and his mother
have spent more than $1,000, 900
in his trials, and the subsequent
hearings held to decide whether
he may have become sane enough
to be let out.
The two trials-the first end
ing in a disagreement, the second
in Thaw's commitment to Mat
teawan-cost the state 800, goo
each. At the end of the second
trial, Thaw declared he was
bankrupt. He had spent S438,-
900 in money. and owed $453,-
900 more. He paid Clifford Hart
ridge 100000 fees and Eek
penses," and Hartridge sued him
for $4,000 additional. Dolphin
M. Delmas, the Pacific coast law
yer, got $4,000.
Thaw's mother sold coal lands
and raised money to carry on the
fight for Harry's freedom. In
1909 his first hearing took place
at White Plains. William T. Je-

Chief among the charges
against him is that he has par

One day he went to the peni-

the convict went forth free

He declares that IL impeached
