Il will tell you as frankly as you

Mr.. Smith. "Of my nineteen clerks,
not one has beer with us more than a
couple of years. We weigh our men
in the balance. and it means quick pro-
motion or quick discharge. | do not
expect that more than one of my pres

You see, Mr.. Rawson," continued
the lawyer, leaning back and poising
his hands together, "a firm like ours,
which has care of the biggest interests
in the country, needs the best brains.
If a man with brains comes to us he
has his opportunity. If man only
thinks he has brains we siit them for
him and find out. Well, Mr., Rawson?"

GREEN BRANCHES AS FODDER
In the Middle Ages Hay Was Compar
ativeIy Unknown, at Least In
England.

Hay seems to have been little known
in the middle ages. Stock was win
tered mostly on straw and leaves. Tus-
ser, who wrote in the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, gives much advice to the
farmer as to the cutting and storing
of green branches, which might serve
as fodder, when pasture failed. He
Is particular as to the desirability Of
saving the beech cuttings for the
milch cows; whereas for sheep any,
thing would do. A miserable depend.
ence, 1t would appear to us now, but
then it seems to have been looked on,
If not as a matter of course, at least
a thing practised by the more fore
handed and capable. There must have
been some natural meadows in Eng
land, even then, but perhaps all their
produce was saved for the horses OF
kings. AS far as | can recollect, there
is no mention Of hay In Shakespeare,
if We except Bottoms remark: Good
hay, sweet hay, hath no fellow and
even that suggests its rarity. BY
Miltons time, a hundred years later,
The mower whets his scythe," And
the tanned haycock In the mead were
familiar country objects-From a
Farmers Note Book" by G. u. d.
Phelps.

that timely introduction should never
have dreamed OF trying Smith & Blake.
You know they have reputation for
having pulled more of the big corpora
tions out of the clutches of the law
than any other firm. You remember
we talked over the possibility of law
yer being an honest man, and 1t was
agreed that if he couldn't then should
rather be an inglOrious failure than
do anything tricky, even though 1t
was within the law. The moment Smith
or Blake attempts to involve me In
anything my conscience will not per-
nit, | shall put on my hat

much about the law, but she had heard
that all lawyers were not overscrupu-
lous. But she would rather have post.
poned their marriage forever than
have permitted harold to violate his
conscience.
During the next few weeks Rawson
discovered that the ramifications OF
the business were more numerous than
he could possibly have dreamed OF.
There was a sort of freemaSonry about
the Office which made all the records,
except the most secret ones, open to
the investigation Of everyone. Old
Smith had meant what he said when
he told Rawson that the man with
brains had his opportunity.
Before two months had elapsed half
a dozen of the clerks had left. Mys-
teriously, without notice, they disap-
peared. 1t was prevalent idea that
nobody had chance at Smith &
Blake's. The minute old Smith be-

and filings them aside like sucked or

After six months Rawson was still

the clerks. And then came the morn
ing when Smith sent for him into his
private office.
Mr.. Rawson," declared the old
man. waving him to chair, Il have

am pleased to see that you are pune

that you have common sense"
This must be the beginning Of the
end, thought Rawson, yet feeling fiat.

Elaborate Festivals In Germany IN
Honor of Precious Burden Brought
by the Stork.

In Germany when child Is born
many festivals are given In Its honor
and the ceremonies are quaint ana
pretty. These begin at the christen'

or carrying pillow.
The baby Is carried In "trag-kis-
sen" for several weeks and the pillow
is usually beautifully embroidered and
finished. God-mother and friends all
bring presents to the new baby and
these are slipped down into the trag-
kissen. These gifts are usually OF gold
or silver.
The trag-kissen is passed from one
to another of the assembled guests SO
that they may guess at the weight OF
the baby and the gifts.
The nurses and baby then depart,
and, after the gifts have been opened
comes the "Wiegen-Fest," or festival
of the cradle" In these modern times
only the small, quiet homes have kept
up the festival of the cradle, but once
it was a universal festival. A part OF
large room Is curtained off and sort
of tableau or amateur play Is acted.
Two who pose as the parents OF the
baby stand near cradle in which q
, doll is placed. One Of the guests, dis.
guised as a gypsy. comes in and proph-
estes all sorts of good things for the
new baby and says that much happi-
ness Is in store for It,"
This Is followed by other tableaux
showing the baby as a child Of four
teen, finally as young woman, then
as bride and finally as happy old
woman. Then the gift Of friendship"
"Freundschaft, des Lebens schonste
friendship, the most valuable
gift of life"-is bestowed upon the
gypsy and upon the new baby. Then
music strikes up, and the guests, in
Guiding the gypsy, join in merry
dance in celebration Of the baby.

occasions, the pressure became too

The Falls of Niagara are awe in

Advertising Is an equally mighty

Intelligently used, 1t acts as q gal-

Electricity Is wondroue In Its mani

Advertising is the electricity of the
commercial world
1t can build the character and estab-
lish the reputation OF business.
1t Is the recognized method of the
minute by which progressive mer-
chants and manufacturers convey
their trade messages to the public.
And the newspapers are the readiest
and most effective advertising medi-
ums through which to create business
and place 1t upon solid foundation.
The formula Of newspaper advertis-
Ing is space and copy.
The copy itself should create de-
sire--in another's mind-for what you
offer, and it is essential that the mind
you reach is the one you want to con-
vince.
Your announcement therefore is

Possibilities Of Your Advertising.
The possibilities Of your advertising
are limited by two conditions only
The quality and extent OF circula-

The influence of your salesman.
Certain men and institutions never
realize more than so per cent. of their
selling efficiency.
Certain advertisers never realize
tunities.
The latter named are the ones who
advertise merely to get business.
Their policy is to get business--to-
day-at almost any cost.
Their intentions are honest.
And they are doing the best they
can to make advertising successful.
But they don't appreciate its rela-
tions to business building. They mere

prosperity.

travels thousands of miles to see the
Mammoth cave almost forgotten

MAGAZINES LOSING Out.

There has been much interest In
the publishing world over the change
in advertising methods which Is deveL
oping among national advertisers.
For a number of years magazines
were favored as advertising mediums
by the largo manufacturers. The re-
suit was bulky publications with a
hundred pages or more OF advertise
ments to which the average reader
gave no attention. The magazines
received large sums for the advertise.
ments but the result were few and far
between. The inevitable outcome has
been the gradual transfer of these ac-
counts to the newspapers which have
demonstrated that they could give inn
mediate returns and far better ssrv.

LONDON
KAISER HAVING AIR CRAFT

s@.sxENGLAND'S CAPITAL

Berlin Oct 22.--This correspondent
today received certain information
from an authoritative source regard
ing Germany's aerial plans which
throws new light on the action OF
the London authorities in doing AAay
with all brilliant illumination ana
sweeping the skies at night Wnh
many searchlights The precaut:ong
arc thoroughly justified, though a b..
premature.
While occasional minor raids may
be made on London sooner, ii Ger

the grand aerial armada will not be
launched against England until Feb
ruary at the earliest. for Germany will
not be ready till then.
I'VE are building 200 aeroplanes
especially for the attack on London.
These are of a new and extra large
type, capable of carrying LOCO pounds
weight exclusive of the pilot and
bomb thrower," one Of the best
known of the younger brood of Ger
man aviators said in conversation
with the correspondent. These new
aeroplanes will not be in commission
before February ! am training the
flyers now at special aviation camps.
The government wouldn't let me go
to the front at the outbreak Of the
war saying | was of more use here
as flying instructor. Yes, have
often been in London. | was flying
in England as recently as last
spring"
An American refugee from Rou-
mania who reached London six weeks
ago via Austria, Germany and Hol-
land. told the correspondent at one
time at the flying field in Berlin he
had seen at least 500 aeroplanes and
so Zeppelins in their sheds.
When the young German aviator
was asked if there was any truth in
the statement that Germany had
fifty Zeppelins six weeks ago he re-
3lied frankly: That is nonsense.
But we are working on new Zeppelins
night and day. and by February we
shall have forty-six.'
Confirmation. of a sort, of the
planned aerial attack on London
comes from Count Zeppelin himself,
who returned to his home in Stutt-
CART Wurttemberg. yesterday morn
ing after a three days stay in Ber-
lin, during which he is said to have
been in frequent consultation with
the war office.
