Does This Ring True?

When the Flint river overhowed it's
banks this spring the swift current
passing over field that had been un-
der cultivation for many years, washed
away many tons Of earth and when the
waters receded large Indian burial
place had been uncovered leaving the
field strewn with Indian bones, relics
and curios. Even the Oldest Indians
around here have no memories or
traditions of burial place in this
vicinity.
The Flint river also proved that what
is one persons loss is another's gain,
for it had swept through a canning
factory bringing away thousands of
cans of fruit and vegetables which the
farmers living along the river gathered
in by the hundreds. The labels were
washed off and the contents were un-
hurt. There was no way of telling
what the contents were until they were
opened and no way of telling to whom
they belonged, or where they came
from.

DEAD At 72 YEARS

4 Waynesburg, Pa.-After passing

frightened away from home by her
parents telling her that certain visit

she would spend the entire day, and
sometimes would come home at night
and sleep with the other childrn, leav-
ing in the morning before daylight
Later she stayed away the entire
time, sleeping in a rude hut she built,
and appearing at home only to get

Continuity in Advertising

The merchant who places advertis-
ing in only few newspaper issues is
sometimes disappointed that large
results do not Immediately follow.
Modern life is crowded with inter-
ests, people live in hurried way, and
public attention is tickle. Let the ad-
vertiser consult the new science of
salesmanship and business psychology.
He will be told that nothing affects the
mind like repetition. Constant drop
ping wears away the stone that is not
affected by the single hard shower.
If man of striking appearance
passes by your place only at long in
tervals, you would scarcely recollect
his features from time to time. If a
person of ordinary appearance passes
regularly for short time, his face
becomes firmly fixed in your mind.
The familiar name in the business
news is greeted with as much pleasure
as the familiar face that you meet on
the street Once interest is created by
a mans method Of advertising. readers
turn to it as to a serial story.

A woman who has brought up big
family on a small income, yet has
managed to keep mentally alert, says
1t is due to Half-Hour club.
This club has as its fixed rule that
half an hour each day must be spent
In solid reading. There was leeway
Of "a hours. after that there was a
fine Of FIVE cents each day for fail
ure to get through the prescribed
reading.
Twice a month the club meets for
discussion Of the reading done and to
collect fines of delinquents and spur
them on to fresh effort.
The woman who told OF this club
says: mo one knows what It has
meant to me. When you are the one
woman in family of boys, have a
bushel basket of stockings to darn
weekly, six children to sew for. les
sons to be heard, 1t is big tempta-
tion to stop reading entirely or to
fritter spare minutes on novels. That
half hour day of solid reading has
kept me up with the times, has rested
my body and stimulated my brain,
and, best of all, it has kept me from
drifting into a dull old woman, of
whom my sons might love, but would
pity for her ignorance.
Especially If you live in q small
town is such club OF importance. 1t
Is easy to stagnate, unless conscious
effort is made. The winter season is
the time to start such a club among
yours neighbors. Do not be content
with planning a half-hour reading
daily for yourself You will never hold
to 1t without the stimulus of com.
PAM, pship and the broadening inter.
est of the fortnightly meetings.

Ode Greek Superstition.

Z Ine belief, illustrated in the ballad
of The Bridge of Arta, that human
victim is required to insure the sta
bility of bridge or building survives
in Greece today, j. A. Lawson says.
There is no murder now. It sufiices
to obtain, preferably from an enemy
or an old person, a hair, nail pairing
shred of clothing, old shoe or a thread
or stick marked with the persons
height or footprint measure and bury
these beneath the foundation stone.
The victim dies within a year, but
the building is safe.
Even a shadow will do. Mr. Law
son was himself dragged back by a
friend in Santorini SO that his shadow
might not fall across such a fatal
spot; and the mayor of Agrinian told
him that his four predecessors had
all died from letting their shadows
fall on foundation stones laid by
them.
