The Appearance Of Prosperity.

One of the reasons why advertising
has grown so enormously of recent
years is that merchants realize that a
business to succeed must carry an at
mosphere of prosperity.
The man who enters a business Of
ice with soiled clothes, and face un-
shorn, and muddy boots, is not apt to
get job. This may be due to super
ficial judgments, but people have to
make the best use they can of exterior
indications.
Similarly the public judges of a
merchants success by exterior signs.
A business man who does not adver-
tise conveys an impression of passive
ness and indifference, SLOW going.

The public values enterprise in retail
trade higher than almost any other one

merchant what good clothes and clean

Millions for Liquor.

ut is hard to realize that in many
large cities in this country over 81, 900.
600 are spent annually for liquor. -
said George T. Carson, of Chicago, III
at the Hotel Herman yesterday. There
are very few people who realize Just
how much $4,000, 900 is, or how many
drinks it purchased. If it were chang
ed into $50 bills there would be 100, COO
of them. Each bill being seven and a
half inches long. there would be $500
in mile if placed end to end. At this
rate 81, 900, 900 in $50 bills would cover
nearly II miles.
IF these bills were compressed so
tightly that there were 25O to an inch
they would make cube package Il
inches to an edge and would weigh 800
pounds. If this money was chang ed
into silver dollars and stacked in cube
the 81, 600, 900 would form a cube IS
inches-6 feet three inchee to an edge
and would weigh over So tons. If the
money was used to build homes
it would build 1000 homes at $4,000
each year. 1t is really a problem Jor
people to think over. baltimore

The Old And The New.

The Old Year passed quietly out and
the New Year made it's appearance in
Oakland without the ringing of bells,
blowing of whistles or the shooting of
fire arms. There were no demonstra.
tions of any kind. Some of the Young
folks danced until the old year expired
and then quietly entered the New Year.
New Years day was a delightful
day, day one could not help but ell
joy. 1t was pleasure to be out doars
inhaling the pure air. The post office
force enjoyed holiday hours, but every
body else followed the regular details
of life. cheerful, thankful, hopeful for
a year of progress, peace and happiness.

land and of Garrett county.

Oakland Wins And Loses,

The Oakland Collegian basket ball
team played two games last night on
the local floor. the first game being with
the Clarksburg Scholastics, who won
the West Virginia State Championship
last year, and the second with the
Grafton Y. M. c. A. Owing to some
misunderstanding as to dates, the
Grafton team came to Oakland on train
No. 16 as well as the Scholastics, but
the local team agreed to play them
after the regularly scheduled game
with Clarksburg was played.
The first game was fast and exciting
throughout and both teams played
exceptionally well, the final score being
SO to 20 in favor of the Scholastics.
The Collegians outclassed their
opponents in the second game and won
the contest by a score of 80 to Is.

HOUSTON WOMEN START
CAMPAIGN FOR THRIFT

Houston, Texas, Oct 23.-Led by
Mrs. Henry B. Fall, president of the
State Federation of Women's Clubs,
the housewives of Houston have in
augurated thrift campaign. The
high cost of living is to be reduced.
The women are going to lower prices.
not by boycotting merchants nor by
legislation, but by observing the sug-
gestions made at the great mass meet
ing at which the campaign was
launched. Among the suggestions
were the following:
"It is the women's business to buy
what goes into the home. She should
know her business. Too many women
trust the buying to their servants.
There are many housewives who do
not know what they have in their
pantry. Housewives should do their
own marketing. They should carry
their bundles home. Housewives pay
delivery charges without realizing it.
Keep good scale and dry measures
in the house to make sure the mer-
producer and consumer together
through the medium of the ward
market. Make cheaper beef possible
in the future by refusing to buy veal
now. Make it impossible for middle
men to make four or five times as
much as the producer. Don't encour-
age the use of fancy labels. They
cost money"
