ment to be one Of the best meth

1t should not only be used upon

When a country road is properly
graded and thoroughly oiled it be-
comes a substantial and permanent

from mud, and with total absence
of dust.
Travel becomes easy, much time

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING

Newspaper advertising is the
easiest and least expensive way Of
bringing a store to the attention Of
a large number of people, said
Harry A. Townse, advertising man
ager Of Collins & Fairbanks, in an
address to the class in advertising
at the summer session Of Boston
University.
Continuing, he said: "The oldest
and most reliable stores in this city
have built up their business on hon
est advertising backed Vi, by good
merchandise and proper service. The
character of a retail store is usually
reflected in the nature of its ad-
vertising policy.
standardized style of copy usn-

YOU AND THE CHURCH

Speak a good word for the church.
1t never speaks i'll of you.
1t does nothing to your detri-
ment, and much for your benefit.
1t is NOT your enemy, and it is
your friend.
AS a friend, it is entitled to your
respect, your consideration, your
support.
And more, it is entitled to your
PRESENCE-it ought to HAVE
your presence.
What is good for the CHURCH is
good for YOU.
Keep it in your mind-speak a
good word-remember your friend,
and go yourself.

BE NATURAL

Heaven help the man who imag-
ines he can dodge enemies by try
ing to please everybody If such
an individual ever succeeds pass him
over this way that we may have
one look at his mortal remains ere
he vanishes away, for surely this
earth cannot be his abiding place.
Now We do not infer that one should
be going through this world trying
to find beams to knock and thump
his head against, disputing every
mans opinion, fighting and elbowing
and crowding all who differ from
him. That, again, is another ex-
treme. Other people have their
opinions, so have you. Don't fall
into the error Of supposing they will
respect you more for turning your
coat every day to match the color
of theirs. Wear your own clothes
in spite of wind and weather,
storms and sunshine. It costs the
irresolute ten times the trouble to
wind, and shuttle, and twist than it
does honest, manly independence to
stand

A KNOCK ON THE DOOR

Luck tapped upon a cottage door,
A gentle, quiet tap;
And Laziness, who lounged within,
The cat upon his lap,
Stretched out his slippers to the fire
And gave a heavy yawn;
"Oh, botherl Let him knock again"
He said; but Luck was gone.
Luck tapped again, more family still,
Upon another door;
Where Industry was hard at work
Mending his cottage floor.
The door was opened wide at once;
"Come in" the worker cried;
And Luck was taken by the hand
And fairly pulled inside.
He still is there-a wondrous guest
From out whose magic hand
Fortune flows fast--but Laziness
Can never understand
How industry found such a friend.
"Luck never came my way,
He signs, and quite forgets the
knock
Upon his door that day.

AT THE COLUMBIA.

Something new and clever in the
way of musical comedy is given at the
Columbia theatre, Davenport. for the
first half of the week. In The Dress
Rehearsal" MEMO Moore's produc-
ton, an original theme has been hit
upon and an opportunity given TO get
a peep at what goes on behind the
scenes on the eve Of the presentation
of a new play. No attempt is made to
over emphasize the humorous incidents,
although many iaughable situations
occur, but a true picture of the inside
workings Of the stage Is given in \
way that amuses and entertains. The
piece opens with the arrival at the the
atre of the stage director. who after a
little talk with the orchestra leader,
orders the final dress rehearsal to
proceed The curtain goes up and
shows the various members OF the
company from the heavy william to
the dainty soubrette. All OF the grief
which the stage director has IN actual
experience is shown and the difficulty
is ciimaxed with the appearance OF the
author of the show who declares that
the hits" OF the production have been
removed without his sanction, AMI
promptly directs their reinstatement,
for which he incurs the wrath of the
stage director and is escorted out of
the theatre The company then goes

dances inside the whirling rope which

! the enthusiasm over the first feature.
Am Alien which was presented with
George Beban and an all-star cast. The
picture story is an interesting one, re
| fecting sentiment and great lesson
| in humanity There were character
portrayals that stood out like silhou-
cites and commanded attention, but
which merged successfully into the I'M
folding Of the great story of love, dis
appointment accusation and final
tragedy in the life of the poor Italian
immigrant. 1t was the kind of story
that is gripping because Of its intens-
lily and forcible in its utter realism. The
new Bartola especially designed for
interpretative motion picture playing,
was shown at its best and evoked much
favorable comment It's beauty of tone
and adaptabiiity added much to the eff
feCtiveness of the pictures. Advance
descriptions of the interior of the the
atre failed to relay in any manner the
pleasure reflected in the comments Of
the patrons Of the theatre who were
enthusiastic over the artistic color
