one of the best game fish in bermuda
waters is the porgy, and some skill is
required to land him. Another is the

But of all the failures, that of the

AFTER WARSAW WHAT?

Now that the Germans have cap
tured Warsaw all the world is alert
to know what the next move of that
terrible and all-conquering army
will be. But it is nonsense to say
that Russia with her immense re-
sources has been put down and out.
She has received heavy blow, but
not a staggering one if she has
saved her army, and the fall OF
Warsaw will only stimulate her to
renewed exertions to recruit anoth-
er great army and with lessons
learned from her defeat, again take
the offensive a few months hence.
1t would hardly pay the Germans to
keep on with the invasion of Rus
STA and unless they can overtake
and capture the retreating Rus
slams they have little more to gain
on that 'front.' o. the war.
1t seems probable now that the
German army in France will be
heavily reinforced and a supreme
effort be made to capture either
Paris or Calais. There is going to
be some big decisive work done be-
fore next winter opens, for both
sides look with dread upon another
bootless campaign in the frozen
trenches of northern France.
The end of that terrible war
yet seems a long way off, for even
though France should be conquered,
Great Britain, with her very life at
stake, and no honorable terms OF
surrender possible, will surround
herself with her Incompatible navy
and fight as long as there are men
enough left to man the guns and
deck enough for the guns to rest
on And by that time Germany
herself will be painting from exhaus-
ton.

that song of peace and promise,
coming out of the gloom and dark

And many times since then, when

er's voice, and have watched for a

Remember This.

After all the problems of how to successfully meet the mail order houses rest mainly with To- cal merchants. Of course in al. most evory place there are some people who will buy of mail or der houses just because they have a craze for buying out of town, but the great majority of the people are reasonable and fair and prefer to deal with home merchants. But they need to nave brought to them in a clear. unmistakable form the advan- rage which home trading gives them. As a rule this is not done as it soould be. The mail order firms send to almost every hon e their big illustrated catalogues two ar three times a year. and those catalogues are got up in an alluring manner and are full Of illusory bargains. The way for the home merchants to meet that is by keeping honest goods upon their shelves and then tell the public about them in a generous attractive advertising that catch es the eye. Aa a rule they do the first all right. but their goods however excellent, will remain cn their shelves unsold unless are secured.

Railroads Want 3-Cent Fare.

In this issue will be found an advertisement of the railroads of Arkansas, look it up and give it due consideration. They are making a strong plea to get the passenger rates in this state, and other states as well, back to Scents instead of the 2 cent rate now in force, as they claim they cannot stand the low fare rates and are losing money on such a basis.
 Many business men and most of the people in general are in favor of the restoration, iudg- ing by reports, and we believe the difference in the accommo- dations accorded to the trave- ing public by the railroads under the two rates, would amply justi- fy the restoration asked.
 The railroads are a great fact or in the upbuilding and future development of our State and should have some consideration in the matter Of rates and charg- es. We know the people of Ar kansas are fair and just in all their dealings and believe they will accord the railroads all due consideration and if the 3 cent fare is necessary our people are willing that they have it.

Look Out For the Cars.

Do you know of anyone who 1Oes not know that the above sign is at every railroad crossing? Then if every one knows it why To railroads keep them in good repair? Why don't they let then fall to pieces?
 A merchant told us once that he didn't have to advertise every one knew him. When then receiver sold his stock very few people knew the receivers name out he sold more goods in a day than the merchant, whom every ,ne knew. ever sold in month. Why? Because he advertised.
 Your goods and your prices. Mir. Merchant, needs to be kept before the public just as much as the railroads need to adver- tise for you to look out for the cars. It is the persistent adver- tisers that gets the big results. Start something next week and keep it there. We'll help you prepare your ads if you so desire.
