IMPROVEMENTS OF
VALUE ARE MADE
ENGINEER LA PRADE's REPORT
WILL SHOW EXPENDITURES
OF $4,000 FOR 1919.

While the annual report has not
yet been made by Assistant Engi-
neer d. r. La Prade of the expendl-
ture for the improvement Of the
streets of South Richmond during the
year OF 1912. it is approximately es-
timated at $4,000.
The streets OF the Southside show
a remarkable improvement. while
many people wonder how Washing:
ton square was rounded into such
fne shape. During the past year
concrete curbings and walks, q foun-
tain and three sanitary drinking
fountains have been put into the
park. Grass has also been sown and
additional benches have been INSTALL
ed by Parkkeeper J. Lacy BEDFORD.
The park has now an appearance
equal to any of similar size in the
city.
The following is an approximate
report as to the general improve
ments on the streets during last year:
Two hundred and seventy-flye trees
set out, $500 yards OF sidewalk laid,
2,500 square yards OF guttering. a.
600 feet of granite curb, 1000 feet
OF concrete curb, and about 2,5oo
yards of stone guttering. Work on
paving the streets with stone has just
begun, only one square on cambridge
street. from Tenth to Eleventh
street, having been completed.
More than two miles OF gravel has
been placed on cambridge, Decatur
and Porter streets and Cowardin ave-
nue., which Is one of the largest Inn
provements of the Southside.
Other Progress Made.
With the streets undergoing con-
siderable repairs, several other things
in South Richmond.
In the minds of the public spirited
citizens of the Southside, one OF the
most progressive moves on the South
side was the large increase of the
voting population. There were only
9l4 qualified voters In this portion
OF Madison ward the first part of last
year, but when Father Time closed
the last chapter OF 1912. Tuesday
night, this number had been In
creased about 800. in all making
about 1900 residents Of the South
side eligible to participate in the
spring, slectiops.s s..~.s,e, ,s,... ..,..e :,.,,
AN Last yaxr alsrs marked the passing
out of existence of three OF the old

country. the old tavern. the fire en-

OF these structures were used In shell

evacuation OF Richmond by General
Robert e. Lee.

VALUE OF NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING

,money to be expended and receive the
greatest return for the outlay
Shoppers of today are, as whole
educated into reading the advertis' :
ments. To many, indeed, it is almost
first duty to read these regularly.
And that they do is amply proven.
Take, for instance, the very rare in
stance that may occur of a mistake in
an advertisement-a mistake in price,
a dropped or misplaced fgure-and
even though that ad may be in an OBJ
scure position or in small type, the
response is SO great for this particular
item that even the most skeptic;tl
must be convinced that advertising
must pay though in this instance,
through the printers error, it may be
to some ones loss.
1T is my strong and decided opin-
ion that advertising is an absolute es-
sential to the success of any business,
whether large or small. And this is
not theory, but fact proved through
more than twenty years of actual ex-
perience. People will respond to an
advertisement whose sincerity they
know. More and more people are daily
becoming close readers of the adve"-
tising columns, reading regularly the
days offerings, and it is for this reas-
on that / consider regular and con-
sistent advertising a necessity. To ad-
vertise spasmodically is most waste
full procedure. To have best results,
OF to have any-it must be done in d
systematic, regular, consistent fash
ion. 1t is poor policy indeed, for a
merchant to advertise, say few
weeks or months at time. and then
stop for time. Everlastingly at it 10
the price of success in advertising is
in all else, and to obtain cumulative
and paying results it must be contin
uous and persistent"

DOPE FOR LOVERS.

Wheeler Sun: A horse and buggy
may not be as luxurious as an auto in
which to do your counting, but it has
one advantage that will long maintain
its popularity-the horse will keep the
road
So will the automobile keep the road
if the driver will keep the steering
wheel set right To do that it is oniv
necessary to use his eyes, brains AMI
hands. A lover, of course, hasn't much
use for brains and when he is with the
loved one he has eyes only for her. IF
in addition to the surrender of his main
faculties he devotes his hands and
arms only to the light labors of court
ship, he might almost as well be MAIN
ed to total disability. The automobile
driver can not compete in counting
with the driver of a slow and sophisti-
Gated horse, to be sure, as long as they
both keep driving. But we have heard
it narrated around that some outomU-
bile lovers have fallen into a more or
/ less lovely way of motoring far afield,

CINE to cool while they coo.-Dallas
