SYSTEM OF advertising adopted
by the enterprising business
management of the well-known
establishment Of Presley & Sons
has certainly caused wide COM
ment and considerable furore
among the buying public ofthis
section.
When Presley e. Sons first an
nounced that they would give
away Absolutely Free the beau
tiful $1,000 Parlor Grand Piano
which is on exhibition in their
store, much curiosity was arous-
ed as to HOW they could afford,
from a business standpoint, TO
do such thing. but when IL
was learned that they would
give ONE PIANO VOTE with
every cent paid for any article
in their store; also that the Pi-
ano was TO be given Absolutely
Free TO the person presenting
the greatest number of these
piano votes TO them on March
|, 1918, it looked like an ex-
tremely novel and most liberal
advertising method. The ear
nestness with which our buying
public have been ''going after
these piano votes more than
makes good our prophecy that
IL would be a ''merry strife"
This novel advertising cam
paign, the ever increas ing
crowds, the many splendid val
ues which they are Offering dai-
ly has made their name a house
hold name and a mecca for the
bargain lovers Of this commu-
nifty. Presley g. Sons are to be
congratulated upon the thor
oughness Of their business fore
sight and the citizens Of Poca-
hontas should feel that they
have all reason to be proud of
the fact of having an establish
ment conducted upon such lib
eral and true business princi-
pies within our gates.

FRENCH ROMANCE
 AT TOWN CLERKS
 THIS MORNING
PRETTY MILE. PULLIG BECOMES WIFE OF MONS. LOUIS DE GOUY
 AND VICTOR MOORE NOLAN
 ACTS AS BEST MAN.

Like a scene, from a Parisian rau- sical comedy Mons. Louis de Gouy led a bluShing belle into the town clerk s office this morning. She was Mile. Susan Pullig and was she not of such a great beauty like Venus or Lillian Russell? She was.
 It appeared that the couple wanted to have what you call in America "ze marriage" Assistant Town Clerk William T. Mullins, known to his lov- ing friends as the "Rev. Mr. Fox put on his clerical smile and announce ed that he was ready to do the Bless you, my children business if he got his piece of change.
 Mons. Mullins he ees so droll," de- clared Mile. Pullig, as she dazzled the gathering with pearly smile. So they looked around for a best man and who should appear but Victor Moore Nolan, the night blooming sporting writer of the Standard. MT. Nolan was tastefully clad in a soft boiled shirt and wore the confirma- tion tie wished on him by Gene Me- Cam.
 After a few sidelong glances from the bride, Mir. Nolan didn't know whether he was oon foot or horseback, but he flashed a honeymoon expres- sion and kissed the bride with artistic touch. The bride and groom said they came from New York. He is 35 and she is g years old.
 Mon. Louis de Gouy was accused of being a duke travelling incognito, but he srniling1y denied the charge and said he was merely a regular fellow. MT. Nolan chirned in and said he was one. too.

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

If the porcelain bathtub is difficult to make clean and white, put lit tie kerosene oil on the cloth; it will clean off the soil with the utmost ease.
 To cleanse articles made of white zephyr rub in flour and magnesia, changing it very often. Shake off sun.
 When the tableooth has a spot here and there and you are not ready to change it, run magnesia on the spots; the cloth wiM look much clean CT.
 When canning fruit always be sure that the rubberS are new and fresh, Old or dead rubbers will not keep the jars airtight, and the fruit will spoil.
 Oilcloth should never be washed with soapy water. Soap is apt to spoil the color. Use lukewarm water with few drops Of ammonia in it and a soft cloth
 The Japanese printed tablecloths, doilies and centerpieces simplify the problem of table laundry in the sum mer time. They need no starching and are easily ironed. E Something new in the shops-jelly cups of parafffne paper with a lid which fits perfectly tight They can be washed with soap and water and used second time
 In cleaning woodwork pair ed white always moisten the lower part first, otherwise there is danger of soiled water running down on the dry paint and making a stain.
 A novel idea for serving the sand wiches at afternoon tea is the Japan ese sandwich basket of brown bamboo with top and side handles. Each basket holds a platex

Women and the City Directory.

The stupid -sufficiency which has excluded the names of married women from the lists of the city directory as if they were non-existant, is becoming modified by suffrage sentiment we may assume. in the state of Washing ton Anyone who has tried to look lip a friend in. a strange city and has forgotten her married name, realizes what a pig-headed policy it is. that makes a city list lacking a third, may be: of the Sf7arfes of t11es Citfzens and calls it a directory. But at last wom- en arqe breaking into the city direc- tory. 1tlais happening in Seattle in suffrage state. The Seattle directory for 1912 says Dress, is being compiled with wife's name listed in paren- theses immediately after her hus- hands. This will make it possible in seattle to find Mary Smith even though married Elsewhere she gets unutter- 7y lost as Mrs. John Smith or Mrs. James Smith. or Mrs. Somebody else Smith. who of course is equally as likely to be Elizabeth Smith or Jane Smith. Tn these days when every woman. bears Fl her own name as well as her husbands why can't directory makers elsewhere let her into their pages2 Social and business usages to say nothing of the women themselves, would thereby be served.

Senate Demo crats, today, declared the wool. bill will die before there is chance to pass it there over Tafts head.
 Conferees of both Houses, today, re- ported to their respective colleagues that they could not agree on either the sugar or income tax bills. This was taken to mean the bills were '<dead.' That the steel bill will not become law was indicated.
 Passage of a, compromise cotton bill by the Senate is expected. A veto of this bill is expected although the pro- gressives are scurrying for recruits to vote when it is returned from the House
