In advertising we sell to the mill
lions. And the word cost will aver
age at least $40 each.
Done in competent ways it's the
cheapest of craftsmanship. The
cost, in some cases, is two per cent.
But let us consider what a problem
1t presents.

by snowy service. Not by pleasing
copy nor alluring plans.
The only way to Judge them is By
records Of results:
Find the men who outsold
others in a hundred hard-fought
fields. Ask the men they sold for.
Big men grow bigger with every
experience. Their success becomes
more and more certain. But we
find that improved men. however
promising, nearly always disap-
point.
Reject all sophistry. Class
promises with dreams. Bar the
tempting word-pictures; get down
to realities.
This field requires the rarest
capacity. A ten-foot ring could
easily encircle all the qualified
men in America.
When you buy salesmanship at
$40 per word it is time to look facts
in the face.

Safe and Sure

These men are safe. They move
slowly. They investigate markets,
canvass homes, make utterly sure
of their ground.
They make limited tests before
large risks are assumed.
And they are sure as sure as
business can be. No other corps
in this field can show comparable
capacity.

The appeal brings instant, over

Sometimes the plan is faulty,

is abandoned.

Fashionable English and
American women in London have
been greatly disturbed by the
announcement that Queen Mary
will refuse to receive at any So
cial function women who make
a practice Of visiting the famous
gambling dens Of London. She
goes further to say that she will
not consent to meet atthe house
of any friend women who are
given to the vice of gambling.
AS a matter of fact, it is a
royal edict of social Punishment
for such women.
This is one way in which
members Of the royal family of
England can accomplish more
good than ordinary people. for
their word is final in social way.
Queen Mary has been called a
puritan, because she has the idea
that as queen her self-respect is
as dear to her as if she were but
a private citizen, but she is right
There is no good reason why as
queen she should tolerate vicious
practices she would not tolerate
as woman.
Social ostracism is to some wo-
men the most terrible of all pun
ishments, and Queen Mary, by
using it as her weapon, will be
able to compel many women jeal-
Gus of their social position, to
live with the pretense of decency.
whether they preferred decency
or not. This, of course is DOS
sible where social authority is es-
tablished, but there is no way
of exerting the same force in this
country to compel social flunkies
to conduct themselves with out
ward decency.-Ex.

The remarkable feature of the
case of B. Sanders Walker, the
Macon, Ga, banker, was the COM
pOsure with which he faced death
after unintentionally swallowing
poison. Throughout a week the
doomed map talked calmly about
his condition and, just before
passing into a state of coma which
ended in death, he said IF
this is death, then none need fear
its terrors."
He was, indeed, dying, and had
been dying for a week; but the
! recess of dissolution was not at
tended by any of the terrOrs gen.
orally associated with the thought
of death. For this reason his ties
timOny ought to be gratifying to
many thousands of men and wO-
men who could not bring them
selves to believe similar declar-
atiOns by medical scientists and
Others who have studied life and
death together with all their
phenomena.
The case of Mr.. Sanders, how
ever, is proof that nature prepares
both the mind and body for the
final event in human existence,
so that the dying pass away with
cut fear of the change. There are
exceptions. of course, as there are
to every rule, but it is now dem
onstrated by actual experince and
by scientific investigation that
death is not the terrible thing,
physically and mentally, that it is
generally thought to be.

TALLULAH La, MAY 81, 1913.

Yesterday was Decoration (oI
MemoriaD Day, for strewine
flowers on the graves Of the Nor.
tharn Soldiers who died in the
sectional Civil War of 1861-65,
and it was observed throughout
the United States.
The day was not established by
any act OF national Legislation
but by an order issued in 1865 by
General John A. Logan, then
--remmander-in- chief of the So
riety OF the Grand Army of the
Republic, an organization Of the
survivors OF the United States
armies during the Civil War.
Southern decoration or memoir
ial exercises are not confined to
any particular day. In several
statos the ard OF June, which is
the anniversary Of the birthday Of
Jefferson Davis. the president Of
the Confederate States, has been
appointed by Legislative act for
the memorial ceremonies, and
this is the law in Louisiana, but
beyond this there is uniform
memorial celebration throughout
the Southern States,
II has been thought by some
that there should be one uniform
day, when the public decoration
OF The graves of the soldier dead
OF both sides in that terrible sec.
tional war should be had through
out the United States, and there
seems to be special reason why
this should not be, particularly
when at the distance OF fifty years
after the war all national breaches
.7YSEe, AeeA-closei arr all personal
prejudices and grudges have
been worn-out and effaced.
But it is not likely theirs will be
any change since the customs
that have been followed for 40
long time have grown into habits
which acquire almost the force il
hot the authority Of laws.
The arrangements that are be.
ing made for a grand joint cele.
bration on the historic field OF
Gettysburg for the half.century
anniversary Of that battle will
show how the former complaints
OF both tho North and South can
c@me together in peace and
smty.
The United States government
and the State of Pennsylvania
have each appropriated large
amounts OF money for the enter.
tainment of the old soldiers of
both sides and the occasion bids
fair TO becomes grand event and
TO exert a great and benificent
-influence in bringing the men If
