compelled to submit to much that is Of aggravat-

power to end the European war. That is something
that must work itself out on the other side Of the

end to the ruinous work that is being done by the
national Democracy and the first practical step in
that direction will be taken at the November cleo

Shooting ScraDe.

There is but little known about
the shooting in Cobb township;
but the following seems to be
near the facts. Two men nam
ed kilgore, and Cole, had been
indicted for disturbing religious
worship, across the line in Madi-
son county. They had it in for
the witnesses against them, hear
ing it is supposed that one of
them named Nickens was at a
singing. They lay in wait near
Cobb school house for him, one
Of them was armed with a
Spencer rifle of the pattern of
the sixties, used in the army.
Seeing Nickens coming, riding
ahead of the crowd, they fired,
wounding him in the side, also
dangerously wounding a twelve
year old boy, the son of Leonard
Craig, who who was riding be-
hind Nickens.

Editor of The Spectator. !
note that the last issue Of your
valuable paper, contained an ar
ticle from W. J. Mclaughlin in
which he stated that he was Civ
ing Ben Witherel lessons in
Socialism, and that when he gets
through with Ben Witherel. He
then will give me lessons also.
| wish to express my thanks to
you, Uncle William, for your
kind offer, for don't you think
that Socialism is only intended
for such as you. Ben and myself?
But now, Ben says BY Cooley"
he is tired Of such foolishness.
So then | may get my lessons
sooner than | expected
Now, Uncle, won't you give
me my first lesson on how to
procure an affinity" like George
Shout (they said) did when they
furnished him the Blue Prints"
to prove that Otis burned his own
building instead of the Nc
Namras? or like Upton Sinclair's
wife, after Upton had formed his
socialist colony?
Won't you give me my my next
lesson, and teach me like Ferrer
did his scholars to fight Sham
battles, and plan revolution, and
study infideitv, You know that
we need all the wars, we can
have, and we would want to learn
lnfidelity, as religion teaches.
There is a hell and a soul to be
lost or saved, and that would in
terfere with our lessons. So
come on with your lessons, and
we will go to the Bug House"
together. Signed yours, then
would be comrade in foolishness.

Little Howard Rutledge.

Little Howard Rutledge died
Sept. A, 1914. He was six years
old, half of that time, he was
afflicted. He bore his affection
with great patience, he was low
ing and kind and submission as a
little angel, all that father and
mother and loving friends could
do. was done to restore him back
to health again. Your home has
been darkened by the death of
little Howard. A place is vacant
that can never be filled, he is
gone, but not forgotten.
He fingers in my memory yet
and in my heart he lives forever
asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep,
which none ever wake to weep.
Resolved The black winged
monster has entered the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. N. f Rutledge and
claimed for its victim, little
Howard, a bright and happy boy,
the thoughts of him, will always
be treasure in my heart, one
of his greatest pleasures was to
come to see and talk, and when
on account of his long illness, he
was not able to come his presence
and kind little words was greatly
missed, all of the children were
present when Howard died and
it was very painful to know that
Howard could be with them here
no more. but Howard has gone
to rest in the care of the Lord,
and we know when the reward
ing day comes. the pearly gates
will be lifted up and the bright
angels will meet Howard there,
and he will enter that happy
home to forever dwell, so let us
remember Howard, a little bud
in heaven, and | will say to you,
father, mother. brothers and
sisters, weep not for him, but
live to meet him up yonder where
pain and sorrow is no more.
The funeral services were con-
Quoted by Bro. Snider, ard we

His body was laid to rest at the

Does Advertising Paw?

The other day a local merchant
elevated his chin, squared his
shoulders, assumed a belligerent
attitude and definatly told us
that advertising doesn't pay"
He is still alive, but let us con-
slider minute:
A London baronet who manu-
features pills has sold part of
his real estate for the tidy sum of
$50, 600. 600. He made it out of
the profits of his business. and
he bailt that business up by
advertising, often spending as
high as half million dollars a
year in printers ink
John Wanamaker, the best
known and most successful mer-
chant, in this country, made his
millions by advertising, and said
so.
The great department stores of
the country are kept alive by
advertising and are coinir g
money by more advertising.
You never hear of large
mercantile house in this country
that does not advertise, and adj
vertise heavily.
If a politician wants to make
himself known to the dear people
he uses the most effective means
newspaper publicity. That is
advertising.
If a new son arrives at your
house, you are keen to have it
put in the paper" where your
friends will see it, thereby adj
vertising the fact that you are
walking on eggs.
If the editor called you thief
in a two-line item and stuck it
away in the most obscure corner
of the paper, would YOU pass it
by in the belief that it would
never be noticed. " Never: you
would consider Yourself DETAINED
before the entire community, and
you would paw up the earth in
your bellowings. You would he
only too quick to concede that
every line in the paper is read.
Yes, advertising certainly pays.
There is no ad so small or in
significant, but what some one is
waiting for it,
There are plenty of people who
want what you have to sell, but
they are weary looking through
a haystack for needle. They
prefer to find in it an advertise
ment
And they will look in the local
paper for the ad.
They will find someone's but
will it be yours?

 Wool materials are being extensively used in combination with silk and with velvet. Contrasting sleeves make an important feature of prev ailing fash ions and there will be worn through cut the winter a great many costumes made in what is known as the Moysn Age style, which means loose it over the waist and a sash of girdle arranged ct the hip line, but there will also be worn garments of snugger fit and deep gndles suggestive of the Empire style SO that in style as well as iu material it is pre-cminently a season of variety

.HELLOI WAR TAX IS
 PUT ON TELEPHONES
One Cent Collected on All MeS- SageS Costing Fifteen
 Cents or More.

DENVER, Dec. 1.--The far reach. ing effects of the European war will be felt in a small way by telephone users, according to the announcement made here today by the United States Internal Revenue Department The new federal revenue tax on tele- phone and telegraph messages went into effect on this date all over the country, and a government tax of one cent will be collected for every mes sage amounting to fifteen cents or over.
 Officials of The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company, operating in the seven mountain states, have been busy for the past month notifying exchanges in all parts of the system of the manner in which this tax Is to be collected and turned over to the government Notices have been sent to each of the 250 900 sub scribers in the system and placards l containing the provisions of the new law are to be posted in every pay station. According 10 the law all long distance messages amounting to fir teen cents or over are taxed one ceRt,
 whether from private telephones or from public or pay stations. Toll calls from private telephones will be counted by the company and taxed in lump sum on the monthly bin. Pay station customers will be required to drop a penny in the coin box of the 1 telephone when their call is made. There will be no tax on locat mes | sages where no toll charge is made.
 The effect of the new law will be interesting in all this western country where the number of pennies in circu- lation is proportionately small. ,Ac- cording to officials of the United States Mint in Denver all pennies are coined in Philadelphia and shipped through the local mint and sub-treas- ury for distribution. No shortage of pennies is anticipated, as the banks throughout the country have been sup. piled in the last few weeks.
 In some cases, according to officials of the telephone company, the cost of collecting the tax from public sta tions will exceed the tax itself, but the new law is stringent and requires the collection to be made on every call.

FUTURE OF PIONEER'S
 HOME IS UNCERTAIN
 BECAUSE OF NEW LAW
Secretary Osborn of State Board of Control Says Courts Must Decide Whether Home Will Be Sold Under Pension Act.

PRESCOTT. Dec 1--C R. Osburn. member and secretary of the state board of control arrived in the city yesterday and is here today, his mis- sion being an official one in connec- ton with the Pioneers Home.
 When asked if the Pioneers Home woud be abolished under the socalled mothers pension law. he replied: That is purely a matter for the courts to decide. and it all depends on wheth. CT this institution can be made out an aims house"
 But what about the law provid- ing that aims houses must be sold by the various boards of supervisors does not that provision mean that the state board of control will have 10 sell this institution if it is an aims house? was asked by the reporter.
 q suppose it does,' he replied, adding: "T understand there is pro vision in the deed to this property that if there ever comes a time when the land upon which it is built is not hNtu Aul hUlut ll ItNtIlS DaCk 10 the owner, Mir. F. M. Murphy, who donated 1t for the purpose to which 1t has been devoted"
 Mir. Osborn intimated, however, that there was a difference in the provision with reference to county farms and places of this character, in that they specially made it the duty of the board Of supervisors to sell their poor house properties and turn the money over to the state. making the statute self-enforcing in this regard, whereas there would have 10 be some action taken in the courts before the board of control would be justified in acting with reference to any state institution. He made it plain that the board of control would not take the initiative with reference to the home.
 He seems to be very much opposed to the law, and believes it will not only operate to the detriment of the counties of the state but to the in- mates of all charitable institutions of a public nature

PADS and FANCIES of FASHION

TXTREMES are passs. It is no
 longer smart to wear eNag-
 geratedly narrow skirts, to slit the skirt or to do any of those things that were brought into vogue a season or two ago. This autumn and winter are to see really beautiful costumes taking graceful, becoming lines and made of fabrics that are a delight in texture as well as in color
 Undoubtedly the basque makes the most important departure in indoor garments while the redingote and the cape are the distinctly new offerings for street wear but, as matter of course. there will be variations without number and the practical suit with it's coat of convenient length will take an important place
 It has been said that every fashio-- able skirt shows plaits or tunic .or 6ounces and. to some extent. the statement is true. Almost every varla- tion of the long tunic is seen and, with the basques. Aounced and pllited skirts eeem the real requirements. For the comfort of womankind be it said that thus far there is no indication of the basques being tight-htted or of com pressing the figure at the waistiins The garment retains the semi-httel idea and the straight lines that have become so generally well liked, but oi necessity there are close-httinE plain sleeves.
