add. that II not only applies to cleaner

apply TO see TO il that there is a car

the allotted quarter-hour at least.
The danger Of pedestrians using the
pavement between the car rails. or
any OF the pavement, is self-evident
especially when there are so many
such pedestrians Cars do come tear
ing along now and then-both trolley
and motor cars-and especially the
former come so seldom that one is
likely to forget their existence, neg
lect to dodge them, and get run over
We accordingly urge the administra-

such contingency. 1t will bear re-

or is the administration in a con-
spiracy with the street car company

of entanglements keeps growing mere

the subject. Surely you ought to hear

CAREER OF CONTINUOUS USE
FULNESS.

When death terminated the earthly
career of John Lorenz Kuespert, this
community was bereft of one of it's
most estimable, honorable and upright
citizens. Modestly and unpretentious-
ly, and with unvarying cheerfulness.
he performed his daily task. At no
time did he consider labor hard
ship. His philosophy pointed in an
opposite direction. He found pleas
ure in the performance of duty-duty
10 himself, to family. to society. Ex-
actions were met courageOusly; sacri-
flee evoked no mutterings of COM
plant or discomfort. Achievement
was his goal; conquest of obstacles
melted to heroic effort.
For nearly half century this
community was the beneficiary of his
untiring industry in ministering to the
needs of the public in his line Of
business. Those who were served by
him were served capably, diligently
and honestly. To deception. duplicity
and trickery he was ever = relentless
foe What he demanded for himself
he readily accorded To others. He
neither expected nor exacted any
thing without furnishing an eQuiva-
lent. IN short. John Lorenz Kuespert
was an honest man in the truest ac-
ceptation of the term. And in his
daily walk of life he was the embodi-
ment of cOngeniality. Nature endow-
ed him with a sunshiny disposition.
He believed in enjoying life and in
making most OF the opportunity TO
cultivate and foster happiness. To
be helpful 10 his fellow-beings af-
forded him unalloyed pleasure. His
sympathy was unbounded; his friend
ship OF rOck-ribbed type. Now that
this good citizen, this kindly neighbor.
this tried and true friend has passed
from activity 10 eternal rest. remem-
brance of his sturdy manliness will
linger unlimitedly in the minds of
those who knew him longest and best.

Short Talks ON Advertising
No. IA.
BY R. S. NEWMAN.

Some merchants think all that is necessary in ad-
VertiSing is to put advertisement in the newspaper
and let the readers do the rest but the response to the
advertisement will be determined by how many prev
iouS attempts he has made to get other stores
toners into his store and how we'll his stores methods
impressed those who came in.
If was running big store | would arrange the
sales organization in classes, small enough that their
absence from their stations for ten minutes would not
be noticed then would send them to the advertising
managers room every morning for Instructions about
the DAYS advertising. | would have them understand
just what was trying to do with each advertisement
Just what the goods We're, where they came from,
and how they happened to be SO cheap or so good or
both. Then the pemanenCy OF clerks position
would be determined by his ability to talk integently
about the things which was concentrating nv daily
efforts upon telling.
Newspapers are sometimes blamed for the i'll
success of an advertisement when the real fault is
right in the store.
Don't ever expect spasmodic advertising to pay
an ad just once in a while won't even make ripple,
better save your money.
The other day was in store that advertised Just
once in a while and the best statesmen were really
ashamed to be associated with such an unprogreSSive
merchant Can you imagine them getting real en-
ihuSaStiC with a customer?
The enthusiasm of your force is an echo of your
enthusiasm and the pulse of your enthusiasm can be
registered by your advertising
fair advertising appropriation, judciOuSly used,
would be of double advantage to this merchant and to
other merchants of his class because he would not
only reap the benefits of the advertising but change
his entire selling force from unenthuSiaStiC to
enthusiastic, confidence inspiring boosting organiza
ton.
Advertising inspires confidence and is reasonable
to believe that the firm who does not advertise does
not have confidence in his goods.

PRACTICAL TOWN PROMOTION.

The question is often asked, what
practical things can be done to ad-
vertise our town.
In some places the citizens wear
booster buttons'-except when they
go out of town where the advertising
might do some good.
Some towns take write-ups in trade
papers. If these periodicals have a
real circulation, this should have
value. Frequently the circulation is
confined TO people who buy the write
ups.
In some cities business men print
cuts Of local scenes on their CORES
pondence envelopes. But you can't
make d town seem attractive merely
by a photograph OF the brick walls Of
some factory. You need TO show
pleasant streets, attractive buildings,
trees and other foliage, to give some
impression OF taste and civic self re-
spect.
Statements of a towns advantages
are often circulated on letter heads
and envelopes. These are so detailed
that few people read them. Still they
help the citizens of town TO respect
their own achievements.
Many towns display a town slogan
az the railroad station.
These notices are often boastful
and impossible. II they concentrate
in phrase some real service the
town is rendering. the idea is excel
lent.
Campaigns for new Industries are
common. These are hopeful where
the citizens are willing TO devote
time and money 10 the effort.
All these ideas are good if well
handled. But the most effective
method is the cultivation of town
spirit Some places are full of people
who always disparage their hcme
place They think this shows that
they are persons OF fine discrimina-
ton. This attitude repels would be
residents, and discourages home en-
terprise
IN other towns the citizens take
an possible occasion 10 speak well
OF their own community. They com
mend its schools. churches. social
life. and business push. They send
away programs Of entertainments.
pictures OF attractive scenes, news
papers containing reports Of notable
events. Where a town has that spirit

THE horse swapping age is ancient
history so far as its currency is con-
cerned, though still practiced spor-
adically. In pioneer days horse swap
ping was a part of the commercial
and social activities. Saturday in
town was big day for the custom,
which in the acuteness and skill with
which it was practiced became a
game.
THIS accounts for the ancient pop
ularity of the game, for though no.
body, in the long run. ever made any
money swapping horses, there was al
ways before them the hope and the
possibility, and above all the spirit
and rivalry of it.
