Memories Of Old Luxembourg.

Luxembourg, whatever it's claims 10
the protection of Great Britain, pos
sesses one strange association with
England that dates back IL centuries.
1t is connected with the cult of St.
Willibrod, the variously- Saxon
saint who helped to convert the Ger.
mans to Christianity-very imperfect
ly, as an Oxford don once dryly re-
marked. Every Whit Tuesday the
memory of our English saint is hon.
ored at Luxembourg by a procession
and religious dance which rank among
the most curious survivals Of medieval
pageantry. Luxembourg is also place
which appeals to British naturalists,
for one Of the commonest birds in the
public park there is the charming lit
tie black redstart, which is rare
winter visitor to England.-Daily
Chronicle.

Points on
Advertising
By HERBERT KAUFMAN

tCopyright.)
Cato's FoIloW-Up System.

II man lambasted you on the eye
and walked away and waited a week
before he repeated the performance,
he wouldn't hurt you very badly. Be-
tween attacks you would have an OPP
portunity to recover from the effect of
tho first blow.
But If he smashed you and kept
maullng, each impact of his fist would
ind you less able to stand the ham
mering, and half-dozen jabs would
probably knock you down.
Now advertising is, after all, mat
ter Of hitting the eye Of the public.
If you allow too great an interval to
elapse between insertions of copy the
effect of the first advertisement will
have worn away by the time you hit
again. You may continue your scat
tered talks over stretch of years, but
you will not derive the same benefit
that would result from a greater con-
centration. In other words, by appear
Ing in print every day you are able to
get the benefit of the impression Gre
ated the day before, and as each piece
of copy makes its appearance, the re-
suit Of your publicity on the readers
mind is more pronounced-yOu mustn't
stop short of knockdown Impression.
Persistence is the foundation of adj
vertising success. Regularity of inser-
ton is just as important as clever
phrasing. The man who hangs on is
fhn NH ~A,SSa Got tho
Elder is an example to every merchant
who uses the newspapers and should
be an inspiration to every storekeeper
who does not. For twenty years he
arose daily in the Roman senate and
cried out for the destruction of Car
thage. In the beginning he found his
conferees very unrespOnsive. But he
kept on every day, month after month
and year after year, sinking into the
minds of all the necessity Of destroy
Ing Carthage, until he set all the SEN
ate thinking upon the subject, and In
fhe end Rome sent an army across the
Mediterranean and ended the reign Of
the Hannibals and Hamilcars over
northern Africa The persistent utter
ances Of single man did It.
The history of every mercantile sue
cess is parallel. The advertiser who
does not let a day slip by without
having his say is bound to be heard
and have his influence felt. Every in
sertion Of copy brings stronger re-
turns, because it has the benefit of
what has been said before, until the
V1blic's attention is struck like an
wye that has been so repeatedly struck
that the least touch Of suggestion will
| feel like blow.

The Neighborhood.

Circulation is q commodity which
must be bought with the same com.
mon sense used in selecting potatoes,
cloth and real estate. II can be meas.
ured and weighed-it Is merchandise
with q probable value. It varies just
as much as the grocer's green stun
the tailor's fabrics and the lots of the
real estate man.
Your cook refuses to accept green
and rotten tomatoes at the price OF
perfect ones. She does not calculate
the number of vegetables that are de-
livered to her, but those that she can
use. When your wife selects a piece
of cloth she first makes sure that 1t
will serve the purpose she has in view.
When you buy piece of property you
consider the neighborhood as well as
the ground. Just so when you buy
advertising you must find out how
much of the circulation you can use.
You must Judge the neighborhoods
where your copy will be read, with
the same thoughtfulness that you de-
voted to selecting the spot where your
goods are sold.
A dealer in precious stones would be
foolish to open up in tenement dis
trict, and equally short-sighted to tell
about his jewelry in a newspaper
largely distributed there. Out of a
thousand men and women who might
see what he had to say not ten OF
A&e a. hss~S - L.
These thousand readers would be mass
without muscle. He could make them
willing to do business with him. but
their incomes wouldn't let them be-
come customers.
One of the greatest mistakes In pub
licity is to drop your lines where the
fish can't take your bait.
Circulation is, as you see, very in
teresting subject, but very few people
know anything about it. 1t would sur
prise you to know that this ignorance
often extends to the business offices of
newspapers. / have known publish
ers to continually mistake the class OF
their readers and have met hundreds
of them who had the most fantastic
ideas upon the figures Of their circu-
latioA.
While l would not be so harsh as to
accuse them of anything more than
being mistaken, none the less their
tendency to infect others with this
transformation renders it extremely
advisable for you to become member
of the Missouri society and "be
shown"

than you can hope TO puck oysters
from rose-bushes.
It isn't the number of readers
reached, but the number of readers
whose purses can be reached that
constitutes the value of circulation.
It's one thing to arouse their attention,
but it's far different thing to get
their money. The mind may be will
Ing, but the pocketbook may be weak.
Fl you had the choice of thousand
acres of desert land or hundred
acres of oasis you'd select the fertile
spot, realizing that the larger tract
had less value because it would be less
productive

The Cellar Hole and the Sewer
Hole.

A coal cart stopped before an Office
building in Washington and the driver
dismounted, removed the cover from
manhole, ran out his chute, and pro-
ceeded to empty the load. An old
negro strolled over and stood watch
ing him. Suddenly the black man
glanced down and Immediately burst
into a fit of uncomfortable laughter,
which continued for several minues.
The cart driver looked at him in
amusement. Say, Uncle he asked,
do you always laugh when You see
coal going into CELLAR" The negro
sputtered around for few moments
and then, holding his hands to his
aching sides, managed to say, "No,
sab, but Jest busts when ! sees It
qoIn' down a sewer"
The advertiser who displays lack of
Judgment in selecting the newspapers
which carry his copy often confuses
the sewer and the cellar.
All the money that is put into news
papers isn't taken out again. by, any
means. The fact that all papers possess
certain physical likeness doesn't
necessarily signify q similarity in
character. and it's character In q
newspaper that brings returns. The
editor who conducts a journalistic
sewer finds different class of readers
than the publisher who respects him
self enough to respect his readers.
What goes into newspaper largely
determines the class of homes into
which the newspaper goes. An ire
sponsible. scandal-mongering. muck
raking sheet is certainly not supported
by the buying classes of people. It
may be perused by thousands OF read
ers, but such readers are seldom pur-
chasers of advertised goods.

MAN AND SEARCHED COLLARS
Movement to Abolish palladium o,
Responsibility" Calls Forth
Strong Protest.

The papers report that league has
been formed to "emancipate man from
the starched collar"
Nonsense! Man does not need any
such emancipation, except on some
extra hot days in summer, and then
he emancipates himself.
There is more moral support, more
Reinforcement Of character, in a
starched collar than can be had in any
other form for the same money. The
starched collar is the badge of Euro
pean civilization. Asia never devel-
oped it. Neither did Africa. The
Chinese have had civilization for 1000
years. but no starched collar. Where
Is their civilization now? It has gone
to the laundry.
The Hindus are kind to animals and
a thoughtful people, but they have
never taken to starched collars.
Where are they now? Trying to land
in British Columbia. trying to stay in
South Africa and being shooed away
by collar wearers.
The Persians are on the run. The
Japanese, the liveliest people in Asia,
when they accepted western civiliza-
ton, accepted starched collars with
both hands. The American negroes
wear the tallest and stiffest collars
to be had There is hope for them.
The starched collar is the palladium
of responsibility. 1t is the token of
victory over self. Talk about abol-
fishing it is bosh. Abolish trousers If
necessary; nations have become great
without them; but stick to the collar
and stick to the starch.-Life.

PI.ACERS ARE YIELDING :.
ABOUT $500 PER DAY

William j. Easton, hotel proprietor
and merchant of Austin and one of
the stalwarts of the old-time Repub-
lican party of Nevada, was an arriv-
al in Carson Saturday evening and re-
mained over till last evening, going
thence to Reno. Mr.. Easton, so he
said, was not in Carson on a political
mission, but Sunday business before
the land office seemed to be chimeri-
cal excuse.
In journeying from Austin Mr..
Easton stopped over at Battle Noun
tain and Copper canyon, where the
big placer operations are underway
OF these latter he speaks in flattering
terms. "At the present time he
said, "the placers are producing
bout $500 per day, and with the new
ground being opened up this amount
will be materially added to in a
short time. Litigation is holding the
field back, but this will be soon set
tied and many men put to work. The
section around Copper canyon has a
bright future and the placer mines
thereabout are going to make record

ELECTIONS IN BUT
-FOUR DISTRICTS

Last Saturday but four school dis
tricts in the county held elections, the
names and officers elected being as
follows:
Winnemucca-J G. Moore, long
term; T. A. Brandon, short term.

Pine Forest-IF f. Bramlett, long

Asked today when he will appoint
trustees to fill vacancies in the re-
naming districts of the county where
no elections were held, Deputy Super
intendent Abel replied:
''The law states that whenever va
eancies occur on any board of school
trustees the electors in the district,
on the fourth Saturday after the oc-
currence of such vacancy may hold an
election. In those districts in which
no elections were held. on April 4
vacancies will occur on the first Mon
day in May. 1t would seem, then,
that an election may be held on the
fourth Saturday after the first Mon
day in May, and that the deputy SUI
perintenndent has no authority to
make appointments until after that
date. However, the matter has been

as whole has 95.6 per cent for
wheat and 91.3 per cent for rye.
For the condition of livestock the
figures are: Horses and mules, Neva-
da, 80 per cent; Utah, 81 per cent.
