THERE WITH AN EXPLANATION
One Suspects That Bald-Headed Bar
Der Had Been in That Tight
Situation Before.

A western senator complimented an
actor on his fine head of hair and
said he would like to know the &C.
tors secret.
Smoothing his glossy locks, the &C
tor replied:
THE secret OF a good head OF hear
is still unknown. The number Of bald.
headed BARRIERS one sees is proof OF
this, because bald head is a serious
drawback to a BARRIERS trade. How
many bald BARRIERS, offering hail
growers to customers, are asked why
they don't use the tonic themselves"
Laughing, the actor continued:
81 know a bald barber in New
York, though. who has a ready, if not
altogether convincing, answer for
questions of that sort.
"A friend of mine, on being offered
a bottle of tonic one day at this fell
lows shop, exclaimed:
"What a nerve you have! So bald
yourself, yet recommending a hair
tonic!'
"Ah,' the barber replied, 1t is on
my assistant, whose fine head of hair
you see, that we use the hair tonic. I,
on the other hand, am experimenting
with a new depilatory cream. Just
look at my skull-smooth as a bill
lizard ball!'"

see the package the farmer was load

understand the meaning of Foosting

This happened about three weeks
before the big flood in Ohio, but if it
affected Barnes as much as the ether
merchants in town. l had nothing to
sell Bornes, and nothing to gain by
staying over the EcXt day with him,
other than the satisfaction of showing
him the difference between roosting
and boosting. To the surprise of the
whole town there appeared a double

six months. l helped arrange the
copy, and also helped out the sell

were marked on all the new stocks.
No exaggerated statements were put

to push through the crowd, rush

point to his box of cigars, and say:
"say, Weaver, yesterday I was roost-

paper man, " what dope did you give
Barnes and listen to that old cash

Then l told him what the dress
salesman had said that caused me to
call on Barnes. / told him about the
farmer and his wife that had brought
the circular to town they had receiv-
ed from the little store down the
street, how Barnes clerks had let
them leave the store, and how the
new store had sold them cash bill
of $42.50, every item of which Barnes
had in stock, all orwhich / had eX-

went through the stocks and pointed
out to Barnes the dead stock he was
carrying, how all this dead stock
could be turned into cash. told him

What Are You Doing?
Are You Boosting or Roasting?

By w. G. Weaver in The Trade Expen

dealer that l found in Ohio recently.
This merchant was roosting, and he

around through the store before eithe
er one OF the four clerks approached
me. "If you are looking for Mr.. Bar

some time, and besides isn't buying
anything; he is full up on everything.
About this time a farmer and his
wife came in and asked about a GER

sample of the shade wanted but no

bought and asked him to phone me
the amount down to Barnes store.
When 1 got back Barnes was back in
the little office, but before l could

The First Newspaper Published Oct
II, 1921.

October marked an important ami
versary in the history of Journalism
for it was on the eleventh Of October
in the year 1921, that the first real
wspaper in the English language
was published, says The Milwaukee
Sentinel.
This pioneer newspaper was the
progenitor of some %, 900 newspaper
and periodicals, now regularly pub
lished in the English language. or
these abut 10000 are published in
the United States, 10000 in Great
Britain, and over l 900 each in Cana
da and Australia, and the remainder
in Africa, India and other parts of
the world. AS the newspapers of the
world total only about $4,000 more
than half are printed In English.
Until few months ago it was
thought that the first English news
paper was The Weekly News, pub
lished in 1922, copy of which is pre-
served in the British Musuem. Just
recently there has been found in the
collection of 'Crales Feleky, of New
York copy of Tn Ceorant Of Week

gary Polonia Bohemia, France and
the Low Countries, wich bears the

October IL, 1921. Out of the Low
Dutch copy" This indicates that the
newspaper depended for its news on
the journals which had been establish
ed some time before in Holland and
Germany. The pioneer English news
paper contained only fOreigncs, as

Butter ... seems to have been
the editor and writer .. and with
varing titles as apparently with in
different success his name is found in
connection with newspapers as late
as the year 1910. No claim for very
great orignieity or genius can be put
in for Butter. His merit consists in
the simple fact that he was the first
to print what had long been written
to put into type what he and others
had been accustomed to supply in
manuscript; the first to give the news
letters OF his time the one character
istic feature which has disguished
newspaper ever since. He offered the
public a printed sheet of news TO be
published at stated and regular inter
