them to one side or into the

impressions made ON pieces of

In size. Lay the cards cat 60 dry,
and then put them all into a box.
Half an hour or so before you
serve refreshments, have each
hoy draw one of the cards from
the box. Then tell the boys they
will have TO do a little detective

particularly noticeable in a

This peculiar loneliness is
possessed by Julia Bruins, and

SENDS MESSAGE ID
 EDITORS OF STATE.
H. H. Smith Outlines His Suggestion for Handling
 Foreign Advertising
To the Editor of The Herald:

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 As my paper, The Courier. doesn't reach every editor in the state, I would like to use a little space in your paper to say a few words to the editors of especially the country weeklies
 In the first place I would like to thank Mr. E. W Barrett of The Age-Herald for the fine time we had al the press associa- ton meeting last Friday. Usually in a case like this it is customary to turn over the keys of the city to bunch like ours, but in this case Mir. Barrett managed In some way to get hold of the keys and lose them about the time we reached town.
 You remember Davy Crockett said when he was in Washington as congressman he visited another congressman. and was ushered into a room where the sideboard was filled with bottles of the choicest drinks, and his friend handed him glass and corkscrew and turned his back on him. Crockett said that man was his idea of gentleman. While MT. Barrett was not willing to hand over the wet part Of Birmingham and turn his back on that bunch, he did everything else that man could do to make that banquet an even- ing Of pleasure. and it will be many long day before the boys will quit sing ing the praises of E. W. Barrett and the grand old Age-Herald. They will also re- member for sometime the scares Hugh Roberts gave them while he was acting a toastmaster
 What l started out to say has to do with some unfinished business of the A h Ina prasS cfafi I xxitb thar Judson and Barnett were appointed on committee to formulate plans for a CO., operative advertising agency. Later there were other methods suggested which l un- derstand were fruitless. My pet scheme has been to get as many papers as pos sible to go into the scheme we will say we have 100 of them with an average cir culation of 1000 each the secretary of the agency will go to the foreign advertiser and say to him that we have combined circulation of 100000, and will run his ad in all these papers for Sl0 per inch per issue, or if he would like 1t in only 5O- 900, or 25,000, or 10000, we would make it the same rate in proportion We could di- vide the state into groups and give him any of the groups. The newspapers to receive their share according to their cir culation. say based on 10 cents per 1000 circulation BY this method we could eliminate the fake advertising agency and place our buesiness upon a business basis. We could charge, say, 5 per cent or 10 per cent for expenses for conducting the bu- reau. This would, I know be a better plan than for us to patronize every Tom, Dick and Harry who has a few dollars to start an advertising agency, and we agree to give him from 15 per cent to o5 per cent, and in most instances give him the whole amount, I wish as many editors as could would write me. and I will make arrangements to meet the rest of the com mittee and will see if we can't work out plan along the lines I suggest Yours truly, H.
