REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.
TO ENCOURAGE OTHERS.

We are in receipt of letter from Is.
]. Williams of Pilot Town, La. Mr..
Williams sends his remittance as one
of our old subscribers to The Herald
and it is with a great deal of pleasure
that we publish two stanzas of poetry
that Mr.. Williams has composed and
we suggest that some OF our delinquent
readers commit them to memory. They
will perhaps do good in many ways,
and especially would it relieve you @
a small debt which should be paid
regularly. The following is from the
pen of B. J. Williams, who is a former
resident of our town:
Just a few lines to let you know that
I'm alive,
And at the same time send you the
inclosed five.
Please pardon my tardiness in remit
ting so late,
And I'll strive in the future to be more
up to date.
No doubt there are others who are be
hind with the glue,
And as you glance over the list makes
you feel blue;
But perchance this article the War
News" won't dim,
And may be read by few who will
respond with vim.

FELL FROM WAGON.

On Friday last Richard McCluskey
of 405 Pacific avenue, met with a seri
Gus accident. He was on his way
home from school at the noon hour re.
cess when he decided to tighten his
journey by riding on a cane cart of
the Stanton plantation, which was
driven by Henry Smith, a negro, and
loaded with lumber. In Alix street.
near Pacific avenue, the boy fell from
the cart, and rear wheel passed over
his right elbow. He suffered frac-
ture of the elbow and a slight bruise
on the right side, which were dressed

First Coined Money.

To Lydia. the industrial power Of
the ancient world, belongs the honor
OF having issued the first coined
money. The earliest known coins
were stamped on one side with lions
head or the figure OF king with bow
and culver. So far as we know the
hrst coinage of gold dates from King
Croesus of Lydia. 1t is impossible to
say just what form the earliest money
(medium of exchange) took. Probably
1t was cattle-from which our word
pecuniary comes.

LAUGHTER a Ionic.

Laughter has its place in every
wholesome, healthy life. A man who
never smiles is morbid. He has lost
the Joy chords out OF his life. He
has trained himself to think only Of
unpleasant things, to look only and
always at the dark side. He has &C.
customed himself SO long to sadness
that the muscles OF his face have be-
come set in hard, fixed lines, and can
not relax themselves.

Elastic Concrete.

Elastic concrete ties OF great
strength, holding nails and bolts bet
ter than wood, are claimed as a new
German railway product. Ties of iron
and steel have been used to some ex.
tent for many years, but are much
more rigid than wood and otherwise
less satisfactory, and the reinforced
concrete ties hitherto tried have
proved disappointing. The new con-
crete is made from a mixture of as
bestos f1bers and cement.

What Sherman Said About War.

tired and sick of war. Its glory is all
moonshine. Even success the most
brilliant Is over dead and mangled
bodies, the anguish and lamentations
OF distant families appealing to me

theirs. 1t Is only those who have not
heard a shot nor heard the shrieks

Microbes.

Microbes have been divided into two
main classes-aerobic and anaerobic-
the first growing best in the presence

Some OF the first class, such as hay

The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-09-04

We are asked to advise if, under pres
ent conditions, advertising should be
curtaiIed.
But each line has it's own unique
present conditions" Such question
involves several forms of advice.
These are boom times in some lines.
Many factories are overwhelmed with
orders. Some face a demand far be-
yOnd their capacity.
Some cater largely to farmers, and
farmers in general seem this year to be
getting rather more than their share
of prosperity. The farmer with full
pockets finds nothing too good for him.
He's a magnificent spender.
These fortunate advertisers who are
OversOld can very wisely cut down on
their advertising. There is no virtue in
selling more than one can deliver.
There are other lines imported, or re-
quiring imported materials, on which
there is stOppage of supplies.
There are lines which for these, or
other transient reasons, sell now at alb
normal prices. There are lines sold at
fixed prices, on which advancing costs
have decimated profits for time. On
all such lines one might advise curtail-
ment in all forms of salesmanship.
But present conditions" in general
mean degree of depression, shade of
uncertainty. And the query is, if in
such situations advertising should be
curtailed or stopped.
By all means, no. Should runner
stop for rising grade, or swimmer
for an adverse tide ? If they did,
where might their rivals be in the race
when they started up?
Advertising ought to be the cheapest
craftsmanship. Also the most efficient.
If it is that, then it is the last force to
reduce. If it isn't, then it needs, in good
or bad times, rehabilitation.
In national advertising our most
prosperous times come during business
depression. Then is when men who are
on the right lines fight hardest. Then
is when waste is eliminated, and the
cheapest and best methods are used to
the limit And then is when the weak
and inefficient abandon the field to the
stronger.
There may be less business to get in
dull times, but there are also less men
who use the best ways to get it. Some
of the greatest harvests ever gathered
in advertising have been garnered in
times of depression.
We find that good advertising is
The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1914-09-04

rarely stopped by misfortune. 1t is ten
times as often stopped by Overdemand.
The chief clients of this house are today
pressing advertising harder than ever
before.
But is this in reality any time to feel
blue? Doesn't it look as though we
might be on the verge of unprecedented
business prosperity?
Home prospects look better than
usual. Big crops at high prices bring
smiles to the faces of nearly One-half
of our people. The railroads got lit
tie encouragement. Our new banking
system will ward off some dangers.
Then what new bOOns may come to
us-like gifts from the dead as a re-
suit of this pitiful war? Reason tells
us they must come if we reach out to
get them. Life still flows on amid that
devastation. People must be clothed
and fed. And the markets abandoned
by the nations which held them should
be supplied by us.
When millions desert the arts of
peace, those who abide, weIl-equipped
and ready, surely ought to prosper.
AS for war news affecting the value
OF ads, it certainly doesn't detract from
them. 1t is giving advertisers increased
circulation with no present advance in
cost.
The argument that it makes newspa-
pers too interesting is new one in ad-
vertising. The most interesting maga-
zines have always been the best patron
lied. Why should we seek for dull
newspapers?
In any event, the average woman is
not a great reader of war news. Her
fayOrite pages in the newspaper re-
main about as ever. She is the house
hold buyer. And the majority of adver-
tising-even on mems things-depend
on its appeal to her.
No, these are not times to cease ad-
vertising, save under rare conditions.
The harder the fight the more one
needs his best weapons. The more quit
ters there are the more there is for the
rest of us. And we who keep ready
and active and fit-whO keep in the
thick of things, dull times and good
will hold immeasurable advantage
when the tide comes i'm.

How Sherlock Holmes
Would Win That $1,000.

Have you tried the detective
ways of solving Photographs? It's
absolutely infallible.
Use some Sherlock Holmes
methods, and your development of
skill will be a revelation even to
yourself.
Sherlock Holmes always took
five distinct steps in the solution of
any case-observation, analysis,
deduction, elimination, and conclu-
sion. Now, suppose we regard
Photograph as battling murder
case. Let us figure out how our
keen detective friend would solve
it.
First, then, observation! Holmes
would infinitely examine the picto-
graph and note its essential ideas.
Next, he would carefully regard
these ideas-study them. and de-
eide the general class OF the saying
which they illustrate. Next, he
would search through the Alma
mack for all sayings coming under
that general class. Now, absolute
ly certain that he had the correct
saying confined to this small group.
Holmes would begin. with great
est caution, to eliminate. Some
sayings would be discarded with
short consideration, others would
require longer on account OF the
limited information, until he had
the case finally resolved down to
three solutions between which he i
could not intelligently decide. Now. |
were Holmes on a murder mystery. |
he'd jump out and run these three !
