Turkish Prisoners Sent
 To Camp In Fhe Desert

Cairo, March 12.-Nearly 100 pris- oners captured on February 3 have been sent from the barracks at Cairo to the desert camp prepared for them at Toura. Most of them were Turks from Syria, with few Bedouins and two Indians who were first captured by the Turks, made to join their forces and then surrendered at the first opportunity to the British. Some prisoners wore uniforms made on the German model, others khaki. and a few were poorly clad. They seemed not unduIy fatigued by their march across the desert, and the Egyptians looked on glad of the fulfilment of the predigtion that if Turks came, it would las prisoners.

Russian Army Under H Strictest Discipline

Berlin. March 12.-A more favor able view of the discipline in the Rus sian army in Ga1icia than prevailed during the autumn invasion of East Prussia is given by Leonhard Adelt, the war correspondent of the Berliner TagIeb1att, who recent visited Neu- Sandec on the Dunajec River, a short the Russian army.
 t At the corner of one street he saw a. hook fastened to the wall from which, as he was informed by the cit izens, the Russians had hanged one of their soldiers for p1undering. There was still visible on the adjacent wall the following inscription in Russian: : '"The Czar sent out soldiers, not pill lagers, to fight for him. Ade1t goes On to say that the Russians maintain ed strict discipline in the city. As he mentions that one soldier who stole a ham was given fifty strokes with the knout; while another, who strayed into the quarters of other soldiers and made undue noise there. got thirty strokes.
 In the Bokovina the Russians dRm- onstrated the sincerity of their newly acquired temperance principles by emptying all strong liquors into the gutters-

Every citizen of the country
town has something to sell. 1t
may be merchandise, it may be
day labor, or it may be skilled
professional services. The only
difference is in the name.
The first essential in the selling
of goods, time, or skill, is a
market. It is cheaper to bring the
buyers to town where they can be
offered the complete stock of the
sellers than it is to search out each
buyer at his own home. That is
point No. 1 for the Home Town.
Then, Mr.. Storekeeper, Mr..
Professional Man, Mr.. Hotel and
Amusement Man, you all have one
common interest, and that is
advertise the goods you have for
sale, so that every man, woman,
boy or girl, who sees your an
nouncements will come to town
firm in the conviction you are
offering bargains which are equal,
if not better, than any which can
be obtained elsewhere.
A properly illustrated display
advertisement of dry goods, hard
ware, boots and shoes, drugs or
farm tools, in the little home
paper, describing the article in full
and quoting the price in plain
figures, will make the sale before
the buyer starts for town and the
final purchase in the store of the
advertiser is only a formality to
complete the transaction. A
special circular or catalogue de-
scribing the goods and quoting
prices, would involve too much
expense for the merchant of limit
ed means, and a small selling terri
tory, therefore, the home town
newspaper should be used as a
substitute for that purpose. It is
cheaper and better. It gets there
four times every month. An
expert advertising copywriter is
not necessary. The advertising
pages of any of the daily papers in
the big cities, will show the best
way in which to tell the story of
the advertiser, so that his argument
will appeal in the fewest number
of words to the prospective buyer.
Remember, that the most impor-
tant thing is to quote prices in
plain figures. The Bankers, the
Lawyer, and the Doctor do not

HABITS
(by the late George Fitch.)

A habit is an action with self
starter.
Most actions have to be begun
by the man who produces them.
But habit attends to the starting
itself. 1t goes wherever it pleases
and carries its unfortunate owner
along with it.
A habit is produced by re-
peating an action over and
over again. Some habits are diff
cult indeed to produce. 1t is dis
tressing to watch man patiently
pouring gallon after gallon OF
whiskey down his throat in the
hope that some day he will get the
habit and can get drunk without
putting any care or thought on the
process.
! 1t usually takes man as long to
acquire this habit as it would to
acquire a university education al
half the cost. However, there is
one consolation-the habit will
last much longer than the educa
ton would. One can forget Greek
and Latin but it is as hard to over
look the drink as it is to ignore &
case of jumping appendicitis.
There are many different habits
Some of them are very meritorious
such as going to church, getting te
work on time. breathing through
the nose and swatting flies. Among
the habits which should be remov
ed by the use of gas if necessary
are those of swearing, chewing
tobacco, looking up while driving
sleeping on the back and voting
the straight ticket because father
did it before the war.
There are also many peculiar
and harmless habits. Some mer
always put on their left shoe first
One of these men once lost his left
leg and had to go barefooted ever
after.
Other men. get into the habit Of
drinking their coffee with a louc
baritone gurgle. This harms NJ
one but it keeps the performer very
lonesome during his meals.

HOME TOWN BUILDING
ADVERTISE YOUR PRICES
If You Wish to Sell, Encourage Amusements
to Keep the Young People at Home

approve of advertising their prices
and it is all right for them to go to
the limit of their ability and space
in expatiating on the quality of
their professional skill, without
mentioning their charges, but what
is good Judgment in their cases
will not apply to the case of the
merchant who has hardware, dry
goods or groceries to sell. The
buyer of the present day wants to
be his own judge as to the quality.
His first thought is the price.
After getting the prospective
buyers to come to town, the next
move is to hold them. There is
little else but work on the farm,
and when the farmer and his
family come to town, they desire
to see something that is not met
with in their daily routine of farm
life. They want to be entertained
and amused. The country town
which has no pastimes, no sports,
or no place of amusement, is not
likely to be attractive to the farmer
and his help, therefore the first
thought of the town boosters,
meaning the professional men,
should be an improvement in the
street lighting, development and
encouragement of places of amuse-
ment. The picture show, the
shooting gallery, the bowling
alley, the billiard room, roller
skating and even dancing for the
young people who may desire it,
are all forms of recreation which
can be made safe. attractive and
profitable to the town with little
care and attention, and which be-
come vicious only through neglect.
Don't forget that scarcity of
young people on the streets of a
country town, especially on
Saturday night, signifies a town
that is on the downhill road.
That means that the young folks
have become dissatisfied with home
surroundings and have gradually
drifted away to the nearest large
city, where they are giving the
moral welfare associations more
concern than all other human
derelicts combined.
In my next letter / will have
something to say about the mail
order houses, which are certainly
getting their share of criticism,
much of it unjustly, I think.

ANOTHER chapter has been be-
gun in the Hibbing case when
State Examiner Fritz and his as
sistants arrived in the range town
this week and took charge of the
books and papers of the village for
a thorough investigation of the
charges of extravaganza, ETC., pre-
ferred against the richest village
in the world" This is the proper
stunt and it is to be hoped that the
affairs of the village will be given a
proper airing by competent author
ity and according to the findings of
the states expert. The mining
companies have made some serious
charges against the village and the
village has retaliated by charging
the mining companies with some
serious misdemeanors. The in
terested onlookers in this squabble
hope that proof will be produced
that will forever put the subject at
rest. The petition for the state ex-
animation was signed by ten of the
principal citizens of Hibbing.
Mayor Powers says he is pleased
over the turn affairs have taken
and is of the opinion that the vii
lage will be vindicated from the
charges preferred against it.
