Merely q Family Matter.

At the corner of Euclid and Su-
perior-that bad East Cleveland cor
ner-the other evening an automobile
driven faster than the law allows
struck a well-dressed woman and
threw her into the gutter. The driver
did not stop to learn what damage he
might have done, but put on a little
more speed.
Luckily, the woman was not much
hurt, and a genial suburban police
man politely asked her name and ad-
dress. This information, however, she
sturdily refused to give. Then the
policeman put out after the machine
Where are You going?" asked the
woman.
Il am going to arrest the man for
speeding" answered the officer.
"Oh, please don't do that. 1t won't
do You any good, and it won't do me
any good. The driver Of that car was
my husband. Please let him CO."
And the cop did.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.

FARMERS MOVE TOO OFTEN.

Experts of the Department of Agri-
culture have made some Investigations
about farmers moving from farm to
farm The reports show that ~ per
cent. Of the farmers move once at least
every five years. of course the ten
ant farmers move more frequently
than those who own their own farms.
In some States tenant farmers far
outnumber the men who own their
places. The trouble has been that
the average tiller of the soil desires
to own too much land. The agricul-
tural department is now showing how
a competence may be insured on
smaller farms. The man who buys
too much land incurs debts which eat
away all his profits and he finds him
self land poor. The man or woman
who purchases a small tract of fertile
land can make good living, and that
is all the overwhelming majority OF
people i'm town OR country get out OF
life at best. They do not go deeply in
debt, 10 they can always have little
to put aside. The small farm brings
the farmers closer together, and the
denser the population in the rural
community the more of the social side
of life with its advantages OF schools
churches. amnsements and neighbor-

TINE TO ADVERTISE.

Advertising pays if it is the right
kind Or advertisement
The best form of advertising is &C
knowledged by air successful men TO
be Newspaper Advertising.
Those who have real values to offer
are found in the columns of good
newspaper.
Those who do not advertise are
seldom successful-and sometimes
entirely unreliable.
The people have learned this and
prefer to buy Of the man who has en-
terprise and confidence enough in his
merchandise to advertise it.
Advertising to be effective must get
into the hands OF buyers. Circulation
is a very valuable factor.
"a good family paper, circulated
among those who are able to buy is
the best possible medium.
a paper to have the confidence Of
it, readers must be open and fair. IL
must support and uphold the morals
OF the community in which it j. 10
Gated. 1t must not be subservent to
any interest at all. III must not have
political or personal axes to grind.
The Democratic Advocate offers to
the advertising world a circulation
that reaches every section Of this
county. 1t places in the hands Of in
luential and prosperous readers q
copy every week.
1T long establishment i'm this com
munity has given it an entree in the
homes of those able to buy. Ii has
tried to be fair to all, and is Controll-
ed by no interest. 1t has ever tried
to support the moral side Of public
questions. ITS pages have been kept
clean of matter unfit to put into the
hands of the young. 1t stands for
the advancement Of this city and this
county. 1t has no political or per
sonal axe to grind.
Christmas advertisers-if reliable
are welcome to its columns.
Get a good reliable stock of goods,
then place an advertisement in the
Democratic Advocate-the paper that
gets results-the paper that enters
the homes of those able to buy.
We advise our readers to carefully
scan our columns for the advertise
ments Of the merchants. They will
find therein the best and most relia-
Bile firms Of this community. Remem-
boring that the best and most reliable
merchants the world over are those
that advertise.

EVIL IN MANIA FOR SPEED
One of the Greatest Defects i'm Mod
ern Life is in the Desire Always to
@MOve Along"

1t is hurry in the morning, hurry at
noontime and hurry at night. Nerv-
Gus bodies wrought up to a certain
speed, fret away pleasure and good
nature just to keep up the pace. Re
Taxation becomes almost painful-rest
"a farce. To be in any measure con-
tent one feels it necessary to be rush
ing along breakneck. No more Is &C
complished, homes are not brighter
children the happier, or lives made
more useful by all this rush. And
yet we keep it up.
One has only to watch the crowds
going to trains or cars to see the
working out Of the speed mania
Rights of others are forgotten, per
sonal safety seems naught, just
crowd, push and get ahead. And
strange to say, we do not get ahead
as quickly as we would if we were to
move in a leisurely manner.
Haste makes Waste-We all know
that. And waste is expensive in the
extreme. Some persons are too busy
to attend to that which insures them
selves good health. They expect tC
mend a broken auto tire hastily and
with no skill. This is an impossible
ity, but that il not taken into con
sideration.
And so the haste and waste 60 on
and some day comparatively young
men and women let slip from theil
hands all that il useful and happy II
life. Their grasp has grown weak anc
nothing can be held longer. All due
to the daily rush Of eating, Of work
ing, Of walking everything done
hastily, with only thought for. say
ing an hour or two. In the long ruiz
it is no saving to rush and hurry
The average person knows this bu
doesn't care to give 1t too mucl
thought Think it over.
