Fake advertising seems to be tn

Fake advertising seems to be the
rock on which great many business
men are snagged even in this up-tO-
date and live town. Advertising serv-
ices Of little or no value to the
man who secures them are worked
off each year by smooth statesmen who
charge as much for stilted mechan-
ically worded advertising as the news
papers charge for running the same.
In fact, many of the smooth-tongued
fellows go around to the newspapers
and attempt to abstract an advertis-
ing agency discount from the publish
ers on the grounds of throwing the
advertising in that direction. Follow

that is reaching the customer of the

advertising has to bear the close scru-

TWO WAYS TO
GROW PROSPEROUS

There are two ways for business
man to become more prosperous. The
first is by active competition amCl
his neighbors. If he is live one, he
realizes to the full the law of life,
that he must hustle, or young AM
brighter men will get ahead Of hi.
He must get out after trade, or he
will get out of trade.
But an additional prosperity can be
acquired outside of whatever can be
realized as the result of successful CO..
petition with your neighbors, by united
efforts to make the home town gre
The advance of a whole community
brings an accretion to every one who
who has en- income independent on
tho prosperity of his neighbors
This increment brings a new prosper
ity without much effort. AS your
house lot grows in value the more
houses are built around it, so your
business grows moro valuable as more
people read your advertising or pass
your door.
No man is doing his duty by his
own business, unless he sets apart
a certain modicum of effort to be de-
voted to measures to make his home
town grow.
Any town can be made to grow by
systematic and common sense efforts
to attract new residents and industries
Communities are like stores, it takes
advertising to attract interest and at
tentiOn.
Often it is not advertising spread
broadcast that lands new business. Il
every community does all it can tc
help it's own young men who have ne,
enterprises to start, it lays the founda
ton for concerns that will become
prosperous and bring people to the
town.
A dozen active business men, who
have faith in the future of their owr
town, who will give some time eacf
week to working out plans and tax
ing advantage of opportunities tina,
would otherwise pass unnoticed, car
work wonders.

STORY OF FAMOUS
CIVIL WAR FIGHT
Battle of Gettysburg Which
Brought Credit to Both
Blue and Gray.
TURNING POINT OF CONFLICT
Total Losses on Both Sides in Three
Days Fighting Over 5o,ooo-Sev-
eral Generals Killed and
Wounded.
BY EDWARD 3. CLARK.

wv YASHINGTON.-It is posi-
VAH BILE, some people would say
WV probable that the Battle of
wv Gettysburg changed utterly
the course of American his
tory. 1t was a great fight between
armies of Americans, for probably
fully ninety per cent. of the men who
fought on the two sides were born
natives to the American soil. The
bravery shown at Gettysburg was of
the order which Americans have
shown on every field and which re-
fleets credit upon the hardy and
heroic ancestry of the men engaged,
no matter from what race they may
have sprung.
At Gettysburg there was nothing to
choose between the valor of the North
and the South. The South lost the
fight, but it lost it honorably and
with the prestige Of its soldiery I'M
dimmed. The charges made on that
field have gone down into history as
assaults made under conditions which
every man felt might mean death at
the end. The defenses made at Gettys-
burg were of the kind which it takes
iron in the blood to make perfect At
Gettysburg Northerners and South
,erners replenished their store of re-
spect for their antagonists. The bat
tie marked the high tide of the war
between the states. After it the
South largely was on the defensive,
but its defense was maintained with
tfortitude and in the face of privations
which could not chill the blood of
men fighting for what they thought
was the right
The Northern armies were persis-
tent in their attacks through the cam
ipaigns which after few months were
started aginst the objective point,
Richmond. Brave men here and brave
men there, and after the end came it
was the qualities which keep COM
ipany with bravery which made the
soldiers of the North and South so
ready to forget and to forgive and to
work again for the good of a COM
mon country.
The great battle of Charlottesville
was fought not long before the oppos-
ing Union and Confederate forces met
on the field of Gettysburg. Chancel-
louisville was a Confederate victory.
The Southern government believed
that the victory should be followed up
by an invasion of the North for, ac-
cording to it's reasoning, if an import
ant engagement could be won upon

land from invasion. a condition which
military men say always adds a sub
tie something TO the fighting quality
which is in any man. Some authori-
ties have said that there were 100. 900
men in the Confederate forces at Get
tysburg TO be confronted by 10000
Union troops Another authority says
that the Confederate force was $4,000
and the Union foyce $4,000. AS it was
the armies were pretty nearly equally
divided in strength.
In June. 1868, General Robert E.
Lee began to move northward. Lee
concentrated his army at Winchester,
Va, and then started for the Potomac
river, which he crossed to reach the
state Of Maryland. He fully expected
to be followed by General Hooker's
army and so General Stuart with a
large force of cavalry was ordered by
Lee to keep in front of Hookers army
and to check his pursuit of the Con-
federates if it was attempted.
Late in June the Confederate force
reached Hagerstown, in the state of
Maryland 1t was General Lees in
tention to strike Harrisburg, Pa,
which was a great railroad center
and a city where Union armies were
recruited and from which all kinds of
supplies were sent out to the soldiers
in the field. While the Southern COM
mander was on his way with a large
part of his force to the Pennsylvania
capital another part of his command

Southern general did not succeed in
the plan which he had formed to get
by Big Round Top and to attack the
Third Corps from a position of van
tage in the rear. General Sickles de-
Tended Round Top and Longstreet
could not take it.
When one visits the battlefield of
Gettysburg he can trace the course
Of battle of the second day where it
ragged at Round Top, Peach Orchard,
Cemetery Hill, CUPS Hill, and what
is known as The Devils Den. The
tide of battle ebbed and flowed. Lit
tie Round Top was saved from cap
ture by the timely arrival of brigade
commanded by General Weed that
dragged the guns of United States
regular battery up to the summit by
hand.
At the end of the second days fight
it was found that the Southern army
had failed to break the left flank of
the opposing forces, that 1t had failed
to capture Round Top and that the
right flank of the Northern army, al
though vigorously attacked, had not
been broken. There was a tremen-
dous loss of life or both sides, and
while in general the day had gone
favorsbly to the Mortimer cause Get
