ment had been properly made.
The board today settled definitely
upon the site for the permanent
buildings for the school for the deaf
at Sulphur and thus settled a contro-
versy which has ragged between the
east and west sides of the town ever
since the school was located there.
The location chosen is on the east side
in the same direction as the present
temporary location, but little closer
in The new location is still a mile
from the main part of the city. 1t Is
on the top of hill and is regarded
by the board as very desirable.
The board elected DIR. C. r. Day of
this city as dean of the State Medical
School to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of DR.. w. ]. Jolly, who
has been dean of the institution since
the resignation of DR.. Williams some
months ago. It was decided to pro-

In view of the claims of some big
manufacturers that they place their
advertising in national publications
instead Of local publications because
they believe the former method will
be of greater benefit to the local deal
er, II is interesting to note the lack Of
advertising in this weeks issue of tho
Saturday Evening Post and other like
publications. II, as claimed. the ma
tional advertiser placed his advertis-
ing as an aid to local sales, II is rea-
sonable to presume that this weeks is
sue of the Post would be the largest
OF the year in point OF advertising
published, for this week is the local
merchants harvest time. The lack Of
such representation creates a suspicion
that national advertising is not placed
with the primary idea of helping the
merchant unload, but with an idea of
loading him up with goods that he
must dispose of by his own efforts and
at his own expense.
When the local merchants realize
that local advertising is of direct
sales benefit to them. and that ma
tional advertising while of some value
in selling to them, they will receive
more and more DIRECT aid and there

Keep to Themselves.

No European has ever been able to
meet in their own dwelling-place the
Kukuhuhus, a shy, yet ferocious tribe
of New Guinea. Other tribes of the
country, while they have a great fear
Of the Kukuhuhus, manage to do a
bartering trade with them. They bring
salt, earthenware, dried fish, etc., and
deposit them in a certain indicated
place. They then retire for a few
hours, being notified to do so by a
courteous cry from the distance. The
mountain jewellers then descend to
view the goods offered for sale. If
they want them they put down other
goods, such as skins, feathers, and
other jungle produce, next to those
articles wanted by them. Then they
retire in turn. and when the way
seems clear the coast jewellers ap-
proach again. II the latter are salts
fed with what is offered in exchange,
they take the goods put down by the
mountain people and go away; If not
satisfied they retire again as before
