Good, Sound Advice

1t is the young man and young wo-
man Of today, with practical educa-
ton, who will adorn our best homes
in the future.
1t is the manager aud financier who
is the practical one.
1t is the young man with good
habits who has bank account, who
shows evidence of becoming finan-
cier.
1t is the young woman, who trains
herself with the duties of home work
that will become manager.
1t is the observing, the prudent,
who will be the practical one.
The majority young friends of today
are beginning at the wrong end. In
stead of beginning at the bottom and
training themselves for the future,
thereby making accumulations by
patiently and steadily sticking to one
issue, never deviating from the one
purpose and establishing a good char
acter besides, they begin, as it were,
at the top with ideas that are obtained
by the lack OF proper training, and in
the course of time find themselves
where they should have begun years
ago.
What young man neglects be-
fore his thir.ieth birthday, he can
never redeem.
1t is the early dollar saved that is
that valuable one in later years and
the earlier one brgins the sooner he
will have financial standing.
The dollar judiciously invested al
the age OF twenty, will have accumu'
lated at the age of sixty about sixteer
dollars, where the dollar invested ir
like manner at the age of thirty, vii
have accumulated at the age of sixt,
only about eight dollars.

Newspaper AdvertisinS

Once corporation wanted to see
for itself the value OF newspaper ad-
vertising. So it selected 1S towns at
Random. 1t picked one dealer who
advertised in each town, then select
ed three or four in each town who
did not. When all the names were
written down, IS advertisers were
shown and Sc non-advertsers. Then
the amount of business was compared.
The 1S dealers did nearly twice as
much business as did the 56! Get
that? Twice as much business among
one-third as many dealers! Moral:
Advertise. Do it consistently, not
spasmodically. Itpays.--St. Joseph
Observer.

The Newspaper Of Today

The newspapers of today are bear
ing the burden OF the mistakes of the
newspapers of yesterday; they are
trying to overcome the impression
that newspapers consist of nothing but
untruths and humbugs.
If the readers of newspapers could
get inside an Office once and help
make paper they would soon relize
that the one great aim was truth, and
accuracy. Now this is high aim
and a difficult one to attain. No
newspaper claims to be entirely free
from error, but it is not because the
truth is untried ior On the other
hand, the Majority Of newspapers are
far more accurate than the readers
think. The readers forget the news
paper has to rely on many different
persons for its news, and that each of
several accounts of the same thing
may be truthful. No two persons See
the same thing exactly alike.
This seeking for truth is the essen
tial business OF pra ',ically every news
paper of today, bnl some have gone
farther and discriminate in the kinds
of Truth, the kinds of news they give.
This attitude is aptly expressed in a
recent article by Melville F.. Stone,
general manager of the Associated
Press. He says:
''We, as a class, are newsmad
people. We often treat as news, such
things as prize fights, execution, and
divorces. Now, as a matter of fact,
these things are episodes. They are
in one sense contributions to the real
history of the world. Seeking to Sc
cure a proper prospective of the
worlds happenings, dismissed the
episodes of the hour in short measure
and set out to learn and present the
things which the world was was doing
in the field of science, of ethics, OF
politics, of economics. found tha,
responsive chord Was touched al
once
If the critic of the newspaper will
stop critcising long enough to study
several newspapers carefully for d
short time, he will have no trouble in
finding one of this high standard
Much of the fault finding comes from
the fact that the reader never takes the
trouble to really find out what is il
the paper.-University Missouri.

Let's Get Acquainted

If | knew you and you knew me,
'Tis seldom we would disagree;
But, never having yet clasped hands
Both often fail to understand
That each intends to do what's right
And treat each other 'honor bright"
How little to complain there'd be
If knew you and you knew me.
With customers several 1000 strong
Occasionally things 60 wrong
Sometimes our fault sometimes

Forbearance would decrease all cares
Kind friend, how pleasant things

OF firm good faith on either side;
Confidence to each other give,
Living ourselves, let others live;
But any time you come this way,
That you will come we hope and
pray;
Then face to face we shall see,
And III know you and you'll know

PATERSON, July 17.-For the
first time since a local man has been
appointed to the Civil Service Com
mission there will be a meeting of
that board in this city on July rs,
when all matters relative to affairs
throughout the county will be tahen
up.
One of the items will be the ad-
visibility of a general purchasing
agent for the city of Paterson. This
position was recently created in Jer-
sey City, but whether the position
comes under the classified or unclas-
sifled list has not been decided. and
1t is possible that decision on this
will be given az the meeting to be
held in Paterson.
1t has been ascertained that each
purchasing agent must furnish bond

a wide authority and has many as

sion. This 10 all intenis would make

A scheme of fastening a chain
about the mems necks or wrists to
which a bell will be attached will be
tried If the men run the bell will
be heard and farmers seeing men
holding their hands about their necks
to muffle the bell viii know the pris-

allowed to go far from the labor
camp and should they do so any
citizen will be paid a quarter to re-
