The shooting OF American citizens

e may not serve to strain the friendly
relations existing between tie United
states and Canada, but from present

the attitude assumed by the Dominion.

year of experience should leave every
one ripper and more resourceful. Some
of the inability to adjust oneself to
ones surroundings should have been
mastered. Somewhat more self-conti-
dence. something more of Independent
initiative, a greater feeling of indiffer-
ence to the vanities and veXatiOns Of
the world should have been acquired.
If one can spend an hour looking
back to the preceding new year and
find gains in such respects, there is
no reason for regretting the rapid

CONFIDENCE will be the far-reaching busineword
in the English language in 1915
CONFIDENCE like charity should begin at home-we've
got to think it, believe It, practice it and preach it.
ADVERTISING offers the greatest channel for practcng
and preaching CONFIDENCE and when properly done in
spires it into both the merchants and the community.
The following facts should be kept in mind at all times:
That "The Voice With the Smile Wins"
That when talking through type, as with the tele-
phone it pays to remember that the smile on the face
the twinkle in the eye are invisible to our audience.
That this being So is well to try to put the smile and
twinkle in the tone.
And that careful choice of words will enhance the
value of what we say.
That truth the cornerstone of all honorable and
cessful busnessruth not only in the printed word but
III every phase OF business connected with the creation,
publication and dissemination of advertising.
That there should be no double standard of morality
involving buyer and seller of ADVERTISING.
That when ADVERTISING makes successful sale it
must also make friend
That falsehood makes for friction while truth is a
lubricant
That the fraudulent withers before the fact
That righteousness is a form of common sense.
That commerce is eminently divine calling And
that business is the science of human service.
That ADVERTISING does not ierk-it pulls And
that the pull though gentle at first steady and in
day by day and year by year until it exerts an
irresistible power.
That ADVERTISING is a science, and the practice of
it Art worthy of ones best thought and effort.
That it pays to be Booster always KnOcker
never-and to play the game like Gentleman
That ADVERTISING is the fire under the boiler of
business and must keep these fires hot if expect
to attain and maintain success.
TLo+ ora etap won't +oka Won very far-vOu'va oO
keep walking.
That one word won't tell folks who you are-youve
got to keep talking.
And that in ADVERTISING, in all things success
has no foe but fear-no limitations those that
That therefore courage and CONFIDENCE and
energy in ADVERTISING as sure to wF-aS sure to
bring prosperity to in the New Year-as the dawn OF
tomorrow brings new day

WITH some hesitation, if not
timidity, we offer the suggestion that
more OF our social and civic organiZa-
tiOns should hold their annual dinners
and receptions during the holiday
week. The innovation might prove
unpopular. but we feel that it should
be tried.
IT seems TO us that holiday week is
the Psychological time for venting as
fully as possible the spirit of the sea-
son. and how can this be done more
appropriately than with dinners,
luncheOns, etceTera? We sincerely
hope our numerous social and civic or
CARNATIONS will give this matter due
consideration.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 80. - Friends
of Rep. a. Mitchell Palmer Of Penn
sylvania, we'll known, handsome mem
Der of congress. frequently twit him
about the offer he received OF a place
in the Wilson cabinet
The circumstances, according 10 the
version set forth by certain of
Palmer's friends, were something like
this:
Woodrow Wilson talked to Palmer
after the election and said: Mitchell,
l feel as if 1 would like TO have you
i'm my cabinet In fact 1 simply must
have you in the cabinet Now why
wouldn't you make an excellent sec
rotary of war;"
An, Mr.. President" Mitchell s
jOcular friends say he said. but YOU
know l am Quaker and | could not
accept the war portfolio. 1 should like
to be in the cabinet, but not in that
position. If you offer to make me sec
rotary of war all l can do is refuse"
That is indeed too bad" the presi-
dent is supposed TO have said, ''foI /
had my heart set on having you in the
cabinet. Well, Wen see what can be
done"
So in due course Palmer received a
formal tender OF place in the cabi-
net He was offered the position of
secretary of war.

1t occurred TO Rep. Ben Johnson of
kentucky some years ago that he
might be able TO save a great deal of
time if he could shave himself with
out a mirror.
So with view to shaving himself
without a mirror he set about learn
ing his face off by heart. He MEM
orized his face feature by feature
and collectively 1t would not have
been difficult for him to commit TO
memory the average face but his
cOuntenance is rOugh-hewn, Lin
colnesque affair, not TO be mastered
at a glance However, Johnson
studied his face until he knew all
about it, He knew approximately
how far it was from a given feature
to any Other feature. l say unqual-
ifiedly that after a time Ben Johnson
knew his face just as well as he
knew anything.
Having learned all about his face,
he started in then to shave without
Il mirror. and his preparatory work
for this had been SO thorough that
he had little trouble.
Shortly after he became expert in
finding his way over his face without
any mirror to guide him, Johnson
was on a speaking trip through his
district in Kentucky. and was obliged
to stay overnight at a rude little
cabin which had few modern con-
VenienceS.
AS he was about TO 90 to bed he
began TO think about his face. He
caressed his cheek, and II was IKE
rub1 rg ones hama over an oId-fash-
toned jute church carpet. Johnson
felt that he owed it to his hostess
to appear at breakfast on the NOR
row with his beard neatly pried off.
But there was no lamp in the room.
Then he remembered that he could
shave without a mirror, and so what
did il matter if there was not lamp
How could q man see his face with
a lamp unless he also had a mirror
The host heard Johnson walking
about and recalled that there was no
light in the room. He lighted a
candle and was taking IT into the
guest just as Johnson was in the
midst of shaving the side of his neck.
The fiickering rays of the candle fell
on the razor blade.
Great guns. man, don't do that,
shouted the host.
And when Johnson explained that
he was not fixing to muss up the
room. but was merely performing a
trick shave, the host shook his head
obviously.
Before I'd shave in the dark" said
he. I'D let 'em grow. I'd let EN-
grow anyway. That's what whlskers
are for"
julius Kahn. member of congress
from California. rarely goes 10 a
theater. He was a character actor with
Booth. Mccullough, and a few more
of those big ones for nine years ana
got enough of the theater to do him
for the rest of his life.
Il can't enjoy play says Kahn,

at work with their squad. Coach e. G.
Taggart again hopes to land winning
team. The Harrisburg Academy Will
have the strongest team in its history
Central High will take up plans for
the season this week. There may be
some difficulty in arranging for prac-

NO PEACE COMPACT,
SAYS NATIONAL HEAD
Governor John K. Tener Make.
Statement Regarding Recog-
milton of the Feds
Special to The Telegraph

New York. Sept. I'm a statement
issued from National League head
quarters yesterday Governor John X.
Tener, president of the National
League, gives his ultimatum regarding
the recognition of the Feds. No offers
of peace will be considered.
1t has been reported that the war
between the two forces would be set
tied by taking some of the big guns of
the Feds into organized baseball, but
Tener denies any such intentions on
the part of his side. President Tener' S
statement follows:
81 said at the start that the fight
was one which the public would de-
eide. 1t has decided in favor of or
ganized baseball. When the accounts
of 1914 are cast up you will find that
this has been one of the most success
ful years organized baseball has ever
enjoyed. certainly so in respect to both
major leagues. Some of the larger
minor leagues have not done so we'll
as had been expected. But the gen.
eral condition of the circuits governed
by the National Association is all that
could be desired
Many Shallc-Ups i'm the Standing
The National League has been very
fortunate in enjoying one of the clos
est and most exciting pennant strug-
giles in its history. Almost every day
witnessed a wholesale shake-up in the
standings. Under these circumstances
there is unusual interest in our race
in every city. Four clubs have excel
| lent pennant prospects; the other four
have all chances to finish as high as
fifth-no mean position in a major
league race.
Il need not call youg attention to
the patronage of the games in the re-
cent intersectional series in the West
Record crowds were the order every
where. And YOU will find the same
condition when those western clubs
come east The National League has
not been affected in the least by the
| Federal. Save in Chicago, early in the
season. the Independents never have
made their presence felt i'm our circuit
| Then 1t was as much politics and the
poor showing of the Cubs as from any
outside opposition.
The FederaIs. Ayaunt!
1 am told that the American
League has enjoyed unusual patron
age in spite of the Federal League.
Just now Ban Johnsons circuit is not
so we'll punched as ours. But until a
short time ago the American League
witnessed one of the most sensational
races of its brilliant history While
the pennant, the other teams are so
well punched in struggles for the
various other positions that interest
will no doubt prevail until the end of
the season.
Consequently, why should we want
to bother with the Federal Lacquer"
