IRON MOUNTAIN

Little Rock, July 4.-"The Iron
Mountain will hardly make any
change in the handling OF it's pas
senger trains under the two-cent
rate" stated General Manager J. w.
Dean, OF the railroad Friday, but we
will have to study out economy in
some other way. Passenger trains
have always been operated at a loss,
and they now become much more SO,
We will endeavor to give the people
as good service as they have enjoyed
in the past. There is no question
about the present rates being consis-
tory, and we will be able, sooner or
later, to demonstrate this to the
courts, by giving the rates a thor
ough trial and then placing the fig
ures before the proper tribunals"

Dsl|yIi'';Is' Advertised
! Better Than Night
BY HOLLAND,

THE day is a more popular
L time than night. Most
of the work Of the world Is
done while the sun shines,
and only that which can't be
done ut other hours is per-
formed while darkness reigns.
The day is the more popu-
lar and the more fully uti-
lized because 1T is better ad
vertised. The sun is the great
publicity agent. 1t forces
all to see and to remember.
If it were possible to adver-
tise any product Of man as
we'll as sunlight is advertised
that particular product would
drive all competitors from
the field. Any breakfast food,
baking powder, brand Of
shoes. style Of furniture.
cough drop. patent medicine,
or what not. If it were only
as we'll known as daylight,
would have a monopoly Of
trade that would defy all r.
walls.
Such successful advertising
cf the works of man Is not
possible, but it can be fol-
,cwed at a distance. Sue
csssful manufacturers and
Merchants do follow 1t, and
E3 q result the best advertised
articles are the most widely
sold. This is due to the fact
that advertising makes the
name Of an article known,
and it also insures its quail
ity. Goods must be of supe-
rior merit to make it profit
able to advertise them.

went across the field the second

having Travelled ar a speed of about
sixty miles an hour, He soon alr,
peared again and coming closer to
earth he glided over the grandstand
while the crowd all stood on tip
toes and applauded with all their
might.
1t was a delightful scene and
pleased everybody who had gone to
the park for the occasion. to say
nothing of those who stood on the
outside and saw the show for moth,
The following evening he again
made another flight of about seven
minutes. the first one being two
minutes longer. and came down to
earth. landing as lightly as bird
The following eveing he again
made two flights. both as spectacu

crowd on the evening of the Fourth
was considerably larger than that Of
the previous evening, yet was moi
nearly as large as expected.
