While there is always a good show

Helen Hand, who said in justice

the excitement Helen, according to
the story told by Witnesses, is of a

A GOOD TOWN.

Here are some words from Edward
K. Graham in Harperis Weekly that
are in such thorough accord with
the doctrines Of city building adyan-
ced by this newspaper from time to
time, that We cannot resist reprint
ing them:
eve do not ask for the biggest
town or the richest town, so that
the people at the top can have e
nough money to stop work. We do
ask for wisdom enough to know
what the permanent and progressive
good Things to work, for are, the
civic will to work for them, and the
material prosperity to put wheels I'M
der them to make them go.
What we have learned is that il
is wise to work together for a good
place to live a good town in a
good county, in a good state. And
we mean by a good place to live, a
place both to make a good living
and to live a good life-good money
good water, good streets, good
schools, good churches. A GOOD
place to live is a place to invest mo
ney and get bigger returns, and tC
invest life and get bigger returns.
"Whatever promotes. the materia.
welfare of the largest number of PEG
pie is an essential of good govern
ment as it is of good education and
of good religion. Good citizenship is
not a fierce struggle in our business
to take all the other fellow has and
III en- enGow a school and church for
him to go for consolation. Big. men
in business are more and more com
ing to discover the value of profit
sharing and cooperation between all
factors, even in business itself; and
fortunate will be that community
which extends to every detail Of its
economic life that same doctrine of
fraternal cooperation which gave us
democratic government and the Chris
tian religion "
With the city, as with the individ-
uaI, there can be no prosperity worth
while that is not based on order yequi-
ty and a sincere devotion to the
common god. A good town implies a
town that is rounded out equally in
all desirable phases.

WRITING EFFECTIVE ADVERTISE
MENTS.

The supposed difficulty i'm writing
sldlIful advertising, i'm the case of
some merchants, is bugbear in the
way of publicity work 1t OCCASION
ally happens that merchants never
advertise because they feel that they
have too little time, or too little
brains, to write advertising that shall
have selling power.
Yet a Well written advertisement
is not a matter of smart sentences,
humorous conceitS. or literary gifts.
It is simply the art of talking di-
rect about your goods and their pri
ces, aIS a merchont would talk to a
man over the counter. Any one who
is able to conduct n store can do it.
The force of these statements was
finely illustrated in an. actual expert

writer q short time ago One of his
friends is q business man who had

tricks of expression. Yet he sue

Feeling perhaps that trained adj
yeTtisement writer could do still bet

highly trained man in that line i'm
the nearest large city, talked over
his proposition, and showed him
files of his previous publity work.
The professional writer took the ma
terial and put quite a lot of work
into producing a form letter 1t had
all the ear marks of professional adj
writing. 1t was smooth, personal, in
innate, and clever.
The work was accepted and sent
to the mailing list. The promoter of
