low price or course you never did

ARLINGTON CEMETERY
How it Has Come to Represent the
Countrys Military History.

Arlington cemetery becomes more
and more a treasure of the nation as
patriot bones are laid there. The
number of men at rest there grows.
The new parts, or the southern acres
of the cemetery, are being closely dot
ted with white and gray stones which
promise soon to be as numerous as
those in the older or oak-sheltered
section of the grounds Monuments
other than the individual monuments
are being dedicated there. Within a
few years have been consecrated the
Spanish war monuments, erected By
the Legion of Loyal Women; the
confederate monument, the monu.

trail countries in Europe. He said
that all foodstuffs we're being held up
by the British authorities on the
ground that reshipment to Germany
would be tempted by increasingly
high prices.
According to Mr.. Metz, a cargo of
apples was recently held up. the
steamer being stopped on the hign
seas and ordered to Southampton,
where she was detained. The entire
cargo of apples rotted and was a to-
tai loss. The exporters, Mr.. Metz
said would be compelled to present
claim for the value of the cargo,
but must sustain great loss in the de-
tention of the ship and the delay in
getting reparation. The apples were
destined for Sweden, and the occur
renee had deferred exporters, he
said, from shipping various other
staples during the last week.
Il Mr.. Metz presented a summary
from letter from large New York

Germany in the copper trade and in
machinery and tools. The reports re,
ceived by this firm from its German
correspondents were that all copper

The effect of this is not only to in

Falling Hair or
Itching Scalp

Now that Partisan Sage-an mex
pensive preparation that supplies
every hair and scalp need--can be
had from W. l.. Gokay, 1t is certainly
needless to have thin, brittle. matted,
stringy or faded hair. No matter how
unsightly your hair. how badly it Is
falling, or how much dandruff, Paris
ian Sage Is all that is needed. Every
trace Of dandruff is removed with one
application, the hair roots are nour-
ished and stimulated to grow new
hair. itching scalp and falling hair
cease.
Partisan Sage is certainly one of
the most invigorating tonics, ana
will surely make your hair soft, abnnd
ant and radiant with life and beauty.

Who Pays the Cost Of Advertisins7

Who Pays the Cost OF Advertising7
Certainly not the consumer; certain
ly, not the retailer Here is the real
truth of the matter. Money wisely
spent in advertising increases the
sales and profits to such an extent
that sufficient capital is provided for
the operation of economies naturally
resulting from buying and manufae-
turing in larger quantities. The big
ger volume of trade the cheaper &c
the relative production. IN fact, as
all leading advertisers know. produc.
ton is cheapened in much greater
degree by advertising than is repre-
sented by the money spent in adver-
Using. Were 1t otherwise there would
be no use in advertising.
Much as we advertisers love the
newspapers, to whose revenues we
contribute so handsomely, We only
perform this service because we get
more out of the publicity they give
us than they get out of us---with oc-
casional exceptions, perhaps, which
are soon rectified But what is OF still
greater Importance is that, in ratio
with the cheapening OF production,
there is cheapening of the advertis-
ed article to the public.--The late
Thomas J. Barratt's "reminiscences in
The Strand Magazine.

Fifty Million Dollars for Fences per
Year

Fifty Million Dollars for Fences per
Year
In the current issue of Farm and
Flreside. the national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield Ohio, d. S.
Burch writes practical and interest
ing article entitled, Fences That
Laugh at Father Time" in which he
tells what materials will last the long
est and cost the least Inasmuch as
the spring is the natural time for the
farmers TO make improvements of
this kind, Mr. Burch's article will be
of particular value. Following is an
extract from the article.
The money put into farm fences
in the United States every year ex-
ceeds fifty million dollars. Some q
this we can save If we look carefully
into where money is wasted. Our
woven wire for 1913 would 90 around
the world thirteen times and we paid
thirty-three million dollars for il, You
may think wen soon get through
ing a million dollars year.
Reduce your fencing bill in one of
two ways. First buy the kind that's
best for your purpose instead of som,
thing a dealer thinks you ought to
buy. Second make stone, hedge or
other natural fences, costing Just lab
or. whenever such fencing answers
your purpose.
1T looks now as il the posts of the
future will be either of prese we'd
wood, rust-proof metal, or reinforced
concrete. The fencing will be most
ly metal protected against corrosion. "

II recommend gravel road, surfaced with

cheaply by special arrangement with the
railroads, which always pull strongly for
