Ny friends: am going TO do that
which the dead Oft promised he
would do for me.
The loved and loving brother. hus-
band, father, friend. died where man
hoods morning almost touches noon,
and while the shadows still were fall
ing toward the west.
He had not passed on LIES high
way the stone that marks the high
est point, but being weary for NOM
ont, lay down by the wayside. and.
using his burden for a pillow. fell
into that dreamless sleep that kisses
down his eyelids still. While yet In
love with life and raptured with the
world. no passed to silence and pa
thetic dust.
Yet, after all. 1t may be best, just
In the happiost, sunniest hour Of all
the voyage, while eager winds are
kissing every sail, to dash against
the unseen rock, and In an instant
hear the pillows roar above a sunken
ship. For. whether In midsea or
'mong the breakers Of the farther
shore. a wreck at last must mark
the end Of each and all. And every
life. no matter II its every hour 10
rich with love and every moment
jeweled with q Joy. will. at It's close.
become q tragedy as sad and deep
and dark as can be woven of the
warp and wool OF mystery and death.
This brave and tender man In ever
storm Of life was oak and rock, but
In the sunshine he was vine and flow
er. He was the friend OF all heroic
souls. He climbed the heights and
left all supcrstiticns far below, while
on his forehead fell the golden dawn
ing Of the grander day.
He loved the beautiful. and was
with color. form. and music touched

great tracts of life yet to be con-
quered In the interest of righteous

ADVERTISING REDUCES COST
Large Volume Of Business Enables
Merchant to Sell ooods on
Smaller Margin.

There's q charge for store rent
and a charge for advertising in the
price you pay for every pair Of shoes"
says the managing director OF one OF
the largest shoe manufacturing con-
Germs In the United States.
The charge for rent is a necessity.
Does the advertising add to the cost
Of selling per pair or reduce It! Let's
see.
"A store paying $40 a day for rent
and selling twenty pairs of shoes with
out advertising would have to charge
you 81 per pair for rent alone.
IF by spending $40 per day ad-
ditional for advertising the same
store can sell 200 pairs OF shoes in
stead OF twenty pairs. then the rent
and advertising combined would cost
only 20 cents per pair instead Of 81.
1T is the volume of sales that re-
duces the cost of selling each pair.
And the quickest and best way to
get volume. when the shoes are OF
the right kind, is by advertising.
1T is a favorite argument with un-
advertised shoe stores that they can
give better value because they do not
advertise. 1t would be just as sensi-
BILE to say that they can give better
value because they have not trade
enough to employ more than one
salesman"

An ideal Fourth was realized last
Friday by the Berea Baptist Sunday
School. the occasion being the an
nual picnic.
Nearly 800 people. men. women and
children In wagons. carriages and
automobiles went to Slate Lick
where the entire day was spent to
the pleasure of all. Together they
played. talked. laughed and ate, Il
was a day when all were young again
The way the members of the church
cooperate In making the picnic a
success is highly commendable. Be
rea Baptist Sunday School is large
and still growing.
Congratulations 10 supt. Woolf and
teachers for the enthusiastic and
splendid work they are doing. II more
Fourths were celebrated in this way
we would have better Sunday Schools
and Gamer Fourths.

Two Kinds of Advertisers

The poor advertlser-who
copies-buys his spaee-and
then says something.
The merchant. II he adver-
tIses right, may use a small
space or q large space and Say
something important.
A Wide gulf separates the two
kinds Of advertisers.
The merchant who uses large
space may not cay anything
more important than the user
Of small space.
Hs simply has more good
things to talk about, thst's all
he has more good reasons at
that time why you should visit
his store.
And N you are a wise shop
per you'll note what he says
for he cannot afford to spend
hundreds OF dollars for adver-
tIsins space to tell you some
thing unimportant.
There 10 another kind Of an
advertiser-the man who In
tends to make a national mar
ket for himself.
No has something Of which
he 10 proud. A product he be-
Ileves In. He 10 not afraid to
put his name to II. He tells the
public he 10 responsibie-for
something good.
And he advertises In ever
widening zones because that 10
the quickest way to reach hls
public.
N he has something good the
public ilstsns-and buys.
And your Initiative msnufse-
turer pays his silent tribute to
the big advertiser by offering
something Just as good"
He never makes hls point by
telling you he has something ~
good az a product you never
heard OF.

Aid to SaIesmanship,

Advertising as a selling force for
years met the opposition of sales
men, both resident and travelling.
through the false belief that too much
credit would be given for business
increases to the publicity rather than
to the personal effort of the man on
the ground. For years statesmen felt
that advertising appropriations were
made up from the increased salaries
that the statesmen might have re-
ceived. Time has changed this and
today statesmen are the greatest boost
ers that advertising Ia blessed with.
through q realization that the In
creased sales have greatly reduced the
selling cost, and manufacturers and
merchants are paying higher salaries
than ever before.

The management of the New Cen tral takes pleasure in announcing to- day that it's program contains three reels of the most interesting and TO. mantle love story that has ever found its way into literature 5r be fore the camera, and when you real ize that Kalem. the pee. oi soujh- ern producers, made this feature, you will surely want to see it.
 It is called "The OctorOon," and tells the story of the love of young planter for Zoe, his fathers slave, and how after being sold 10 a man who wanted her as mistress of his home rather than go to the slave dealer who bought her she ended her life. A feature of this production is the burning of a big steamboat on the Mississippi river showing men and women and slaves lea3ng into the water, and said to be the most sensational and realistic scene of it's kind ever filmed. In addition to these three reels there is an Esssnay pie ture, "Broncho Billy's Secret with W. C. Anderson in the lead, and on Monday comes the startling master piece.

AT THE PRINCESS.

Paoli Cremonesi, the celebrated Italian actor and his company of American players, in the great society comedy sketch, Curing the Tenor" :" at the Princess for the last three shows today, should be seen and heard by every resident of Hot Springs. The sketch is clean and wholesome but witty and screamngly funny from first to last. The piece is built around a foreign tenor who becomes infatuated with an American r,arried woman. His attentions are deprecated by both husband and wife and they plan to cure him of his in- fatuation by framing up a poisoning Of the husband by the wife in order that she may wed the tenor. The sit uations are decidedly funny, the plot is well worked out and the work of the actors is above reproach.
 Phillips and White, vaudeville's s greatest character singers, are one of the big hits of the show. Tn char hbltI SthSS anu ptdllO StittllOuS, lu- termingled with some nonsensical di- alogue these two young men have been asked to work overtime at ev- cry show they have appeared jp.

 Francisco and Loretta, two of the most talented and graceful dancers on the American stage. present new novelty in a delineation of the latest society and ragtime dances, exactly as they are danced in some of he swell resorts of the country. Their repertoire includes the tango, SO ciety waltz and some intricate rag time steps. Their act is a splendid one.
