by those taking part Il was
much appreciated by all who
witnessed II The players are
gratined by the compliments re-
ceived from their friends and
are determined that should they
put on another play in the near
future to surpass the production
of Thursday night 80 for as their
respective parts are concerned.
The stage settings and cos
tunes of the ladies' were the
most elaborate ever seen in
Burns and brought admiring
praise from all who witnessed
the production.

Advertising And News

Il News is any recent or fresh
Intelligence or information
concerning any matter or
event." and advertising is
IIgiving news relating to a busi-
ness. The ordinary doings and
happenings are not news. For
instance to say that Jones. the
dry goods merchant, sells
calico, is not news. But to
say that Jones sells calico %
\ per cent below regular price is
news, business news. and
H advertising.
That advertising may be
effective, productive. and
stimulating to business it must
be done in the way of convey
ling information. To say that
Smith is still making good
goods honestly, and that the
/ people ought to eat his product,
conveys neither specific nor
interesting information. But
to show why Smiths goods
are good, how the goods are
made and why they are made
that way, why they are pala-
table, why digestible, and why
healthful, are all points of in
terest conveying intelligence.
OF course the news must be
told by the advertiser in a way
that is convincing. Everyone
is open to conviction. 1t is up
to the advertiser to demon
strate the real value in any
product for sale. Every go cd
product will profit by this test
for the people are quick to
take up with anything they |
know is good, and skeptical
about a product of which they |
know nothing. If a product
cannot stand the test of publi-
city it will go off the market
as it should. And a merchant /
whose business cannot stand Il
the test of publicity will not II
make a success of his business. II
When the merchant puts the H
same arguments and intelli-
gence into his ads that a good
salesman puts into his talks TO
,ell a commodity, then will
newspaper advertising become
immensely profitable. VI

Holstein Cattle Here.

|. S. Geer arrived here with tn,
n head of Holstein cattle recent
ly purchased in the east Thursday
evening. The drive from Prairie
City in was made at easy stages
as the roads and rainy weather
made the trip rather disagreeable,
besides the fine stock, which had
never experienced any hardships,
were given every advantage after
their long journey on the train.
Some of the animals were driven
into town yesterday afternoon
and greatly admired by a large
crowd.
The Times-Herald has not
learned what prices have been
placed on the stock by the Har-
ney County National Bank, but
there seems little doubt but they
will be readily sold. They are
mostly young stock, the Oldest
animal being four years old.
Three bulls are included in the lot
and the balance Of them are
young cows and heifers soon to
freshen. The enterprise is one
that will bring good results and
is commended by the people of
this section. The stock are in
pasture north of town.

party had experienced all the
might before reaching Burns.
The committee was wise and
our people most fortunate in the
selection Of Hon. C. G. McCollock
MS the orator of the day. Mr..
McCollock took as the key note
of his patriotic remarks the
thought that the Revolution and
the birth Of our Republic were
inevitable, that there was no ex-
act or definite time or no one par
ticular cause, but that they were
a natural, irresistible growth and
revolution from many combined
forces and events; and that this
same spirit and force should and
does rule today in working out
the governmental problems which
arise under the continually chang
ing conditions and growth of our
nation.
The closing remarks were made
by the Hon. Frank Davey who
congratulated the business men
upon their generosity which made
the celebration possible and as
sured its success. On behalf of
the committee of arrangements
he extended sincere thanks to
and complimented the orator Of
the day, and expressed the appre-
citation of the people who had en-
joyed the program for the time
and personal effort devoted in
preparing for and presenting the
excellent music which was rem
dered by the band boys, the well
trained chorus and Mrs. Dodge's
fine orchestra of children who
are the pride of many Burns
homes.
Immediately after the noon
hour the band played on the
street and the people then went
to the base ball park where q
game was scheduled between
pickup teams. 1t did not prove
very interesting and after q few

PROLOGUE

THIS humorous tale, written
IL McCufcheon;s best vein, is
faultiess in its morals, despite its
Title. and cumulative in It's inter-
sst. 1t may be stated in strict
con nfidence that Edith did not
actually have more thar, one hus-
band; consequently the gentle
roader need harbor no appre-
Aensio,, on this score. Like all
other estin,able married women,
Edith had only one husband, but
cfrcun,sfances arose through
witch it seemed necessary for
her husband to be in fwo places
At the same time, and how this
~as accomplished and what the
oufeonue was But wait a bit; let

phatic remonstrance. He began by
laughing his friend to scorn; then. as
Medcroft persisted, went 80 far as to
take him severely to task for the pro
posed imposition on the unsuspecting
Rodneys, to say nothing Of the trick he
would play upon the convention Of ar
chitects.

he said warmly, "and booted out Of the

Medcroft was in earnest and that theF
situation was as serious as be pictured
1t. The Englishman's plan was unusu-

it had seemed at the outset. Brock
was beginning to see the possibilities

that in Tennessee, if the wife's
general real estate sold and con-
verted into personal property. the
husband gets not only the manage

The ease cited from the Supreme
Court Record is !'Baird VS. Baird.

The wife owned land. With
her consent it was sold. She had
the idea that she owned the pro-
ceeds.
The husband took control of the
proceeds. ....
The Supreme Court said:
This was a complete exercise
of dominion by the husband over
the wife's personality (the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the real estate
were personal property and it cut
off all legal right on the part of
the wife,
When her property was changed
from real into personal, she lost it..
The husband sold the personal
property for himself. The wife
complained. The court reproved
her:
"The error in the theory Of the
wife in this cause is that she had
the absolute right in the person
atty received for her land.'
She claimed this, said the court
