ADVERTISING.

Does advertising pay? Well, that
depends on how it is done. IL one
tries to use advertising to deceive
the public, to toll trade to receive
bargains one does not have, or never
intended to deliver, it does not; for
the public in time gets on to such
methods and you could not toll them
back by offering So gold pieces for
so cents Not if you told them you
had a brother back in New York
stealing them as reason you could
offer them so cheaply. Then, again
much money is frittered away in the
generalities that mean nothing. The
cheapest place in town to buy cloth
ing is at Smiths" is trite and
thread-worn expression and taken no
more seriously by the public than
the Thursday night utterance OF the
tricky deacon who says: Brethren,
l got religion fOrty-two years ago
last December and thank the Lord
I've had it ever since" The fellow
who says in honest, plain, as consis-
tently close figures as good business
will permit, how much he sells cloth
ing for will get the trade. The same
is true of any other commodity.
Then, too the persistency with which
one stays with the proposition is an
important factor. Brown tells the
trade each week what he is offering;
there is no dull season in his year
book He doesn't consult the altman
ac and he is not rehearsing as
weather barometer. 1t is never so
hot he don't want to sell something;
never SO cold he doesn't want bust
ness. Rain or shine, hot or cold, mud
or snow, he saws wood and never has
a time when he isn't catering to the
trade. The Almighty only makes
few perfect days or conditions in
year and the fellow who is always
waiting for them is apt to be disap-
pointed. While he is waiting for the
exact psychological moment the per-
sistent fellow hops to it and gets the
trade.

c. C. TILLOTsON IN BUSINESS.
Former DEBORAH Boy Owns Half In.
terest in Big Store at Orchard
Iowa.

The many DEBORAH friends of C. G.
Tillotson, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
Tillotson, will be interested in the
following from the Usage News, con-
corning Mr.. Tillotson's entrance into
the mercantile field at Orchard, Ia:
Orchard has experienced a big
boom during the past year, and the
firm of p. f. Artz & Co., which with
the beginning of the new year was
succeeded by Artz & Tillotson, has
reaped its share of the benefits. For
about four months the two young
men, p. f. Artz and C. C. Tillotson
have been conducting a general store
in the building occupied several years
ago by G. A. Wright. With a new
stock of up-to-date goods, they have
built up an excellent trade among
the people of East and West Lin
coin.
Both Mr.. Artz and Mr.. Tillotson,
prior TO their advent in the business
life of Orchard, were employed as
clerks in the Cromer store at Charles
City. They are both graduates OF
Charles City college. Although rath-
er young have the entire responsible
titles of a big country store on their
shoulders, they are keen business
men, wideawake, alive to the inter
ests of their customers, pleasant and
courteous merchants. A new firm is
always looked upon with some ask
ance until it has proven that it merits
the patronage of the people. While
Artz & Tillotson have not yet, per-
haps, served their allotted time, they
have indicated that they possess the
! right business qualifications, and we
hope and believe that their presence
in our community will be a perma-
Inent pleasure.

LIES SNOWSTORMS.

the untoward incidents of life and
they will stand in the grand scheme
as little more than snowstorm

good.
A snowstorm is how you take it.

it is doing you kindness. That
selfsame blood was getting dormant
and needed a Drisking up. When il
twists the hat or Sits snow down the
neck, only laugh with it and you will
know the wind for a friend.
The taunts of fate, the dark days
and all the slips on LIES pavements
are likewise calculated to stir the
fighting blood and arouse mankind
to a proper sense of the duties life
imposes. 1t is not good for a child
to be wrapped ever in cotton wool
and left to rest in ease. Nettles grow
along the road and thorns go with
the roses. The sun shines brightest
after a snowstorm, the air is purest
when the rain has just passed, exis,
tence is more endurable because OF
the bad that sweetens the good.

The Way Of Progress.

A dog barking at a passing sutomo-
bile is generally supposed to be as tell
Ing q symbol Of futile objection to tho
march Of progress as could well be
imagined. In the almost same category,
however, belongs the strike Of tho
stevedores In New Orleans against tho
introduction of the electric truck to
transport freight between vessels and
warehouses. The wonder Is that this
improvement has been so long delayed
instead Of only now appearing-and
then as source Of new labor diff.

Public Opinion.

People say how strong public opin.

1t is in its prime. In its childhood
and old age 1t Is as weak as any other
organism. I try to make my own
work belong to the youth of public
opinion. The history Of the world is
the record Of the weakness, frailty
and death Of public opinion. as geol.
ogy Is the record Of the decay Of those
bodily organisms in which public opin-
ions have found material expression.
