ON A LARK
Grounded Wire Causes
Trouble

Friday NIGHT just before the mid
night hour the big fire alarm bell
that hangs in the tower of the tenn
pie of justice on Jordan street gave
forth loud clang and naturally
those awake listened for the remain
ing strokes to determine the near
location of the supposed fire. But
the huge piece of steel high up in
the heavens remained silently for a
few minutes. then another stroke,
followed by ones and twos for half
an hour more, keeping the people de-
sirous of a nap from entering into a
peaceful unconscious slumber for
sometime. A wire had become
grounded in some way and this was
the cause of the unruly disposition
of the big bell that generally re-
spends so accurately to the touch
If the key in the little red box be-
lind the 3x3 glass.

The Services at the Churches

The revival alservices at the various
churches in the city for the past ten
days have been well attended and
much interest manifested among
the saved as well as unsaved. The
pastors are preaching the word in
most forcible manner and the great
truths are finding lodgment in the
hearts and lives of the people of this
city. In fact there seems to be
great spiritual awakening in all
quarters and the church workers de-
termined to do more for the cause
of the Christian religion.

here and seven places where
meals are served and all seem
to be doing fairly well and yet
not one will spend a cent to
let pc ople who want to ZONE
here and give the country the

But there is a remedy.

But there is a remedy.
And herein comes the prov.
ince of the middle man this
newspaper.
From a commercial stand
point the local newspaper is
simply a go between;" it is
the medium of carrying the
message from the merchant to
to the consumer.
The consumer reads the pa
per, and if he sees nothing in
its advertising columns of
which he stands in need it is
but natural that in many cases
he should drift to other points
for his wares.
The local business man is
forgotten simply because he
does not advertise because he
is slower than his out of town
competitor.
But if the merchant is alive
to his opportunities, if he uses
the advertising columns of this
paper to bring his goods to the
favorable attention of the buy.
er, then he is meeting compe-
tition, is making an effective
bid for the home trade, and
invariably achieves prosperity.
Men of brains realize that it
is to their own individual in
terests to foster their own
community by tradinp with
their home institutions
But the seeker the buyer
never eoes TO a baystack for a
needle.
lie follows the lure of the
we'll written advertisement
and if the advertisement han.
pens TO be an out of town con.
Germ using another p,per then

BOTH ENDS AND THE MIDDLE

ANNAalANA -NlN lNNNoDd-
per-the Consumer.
There YOU have it-both
ends and the middle-and the
three working in harmony
should make any community
prosper.
The one cannot prosper with
out the other, and neither can
meet with success without the
cooperation of the other two.
The refore, to achieve pros
perity for this community it
becomes the paramount duty
of all concerned to work in har.
mony-to labor to one com
mon end-to protect [ h c
homes hat give us shelter and
TO conserve the interests of the
people who constitute the com
munity.
We may make of this com
munity a hive of industry and
peace, prosperity and happiness
OF we may just drift along " it'll
the tide, pick up the crubs that
are thrown our way, and erum
Die because the Lord provides
.or others AMI apparently for
gees our existence.
rwill be as We m IS. iJ-lD
other way.
The Lord has provided US
with intelligence, and health,
and energy, and the power to
accomplish things.
With that His work is done,
and he rest us up TO us.
If we make the best Of that
which he has given us we will
soon become prosperous, and
happy, aud contentct 1, a PEG pie
enjoying to the fullest of life
blessings.
But if we neglect the gifts
with which lie has endowed us
the penalty of failure will fall
upon our own shoulders, the
responsibility will be ours
alone, the commercial stagna
ton of our common communi
" will be but the natural
sequence of our own short
siehtedness.
No community will prosp.r
without the presence of a vari.
ETY. Of stores, shops and other
marts of commerce and trade.
They are as necessary as the
ground that we ill and the sun
and water that produce our
crops
No store or shop can survive
without the loyal support of
the community.
The interests of the retailer
and the consumer are one in
common; the success of the
one depends upon the cooper.
alton of the other.
But these two interests that
should be working in harmony
are often too wide apart; sepa.
rated by a yawnine gulf of
indifference and neglect.
And the body polite, the
community as a whole suffers,
and staenates, and withers, and
dies.
