LONDON. April 4.-The second stage
In the allies' operations against the
Dardanelles has been reached, and a
fresh assault by land and naval forces
simultaneously is momentarily expected.
The work of mine sweeping has not
been Interrupted during the supension
OF attacks upon the forts in the strait,
and the naval aviators continue to
make daring reconnaissance, preparatory
to the grand storming by the combined
fleets and armies
In anticipation of the expected as
sault and its possible results, General
Won Sanders, the German commander
Of the Turkish army, advised at a
council of war in Constantinoplc that
the seat of government be moved to the
interior of Asia Minor. 1t was not
definitely decided at this conference to
defend the Turkish capital should the
allies force the straits, the question
being left open pending the result of
the allies attack.
Land Force "Overwhelming.'
The admiralty has been silent several
days upon the situation at the Darda-
bardment has not been resumed since
the sinking of three of the allies ships
on March IS.
The London press intimates that tho
allies are about to attack the forts with
land forces. 1t is believed that the ed-
miralty will not announce the progress
OF the operations until a decisive result
has been attained. 1t is declared that
the land forces to be hurled against the
Turks Is overwhelming, and that the as
sault will be made upon both the
Asiatic and European sides of the
strait.
Turk Defenses Strengthened.
There Is now no doubt that the Turk.

The British press admits that the forts
at the Narrows were damaged seriously
by shell-fire, but it Is also asserted that
the progress made by the allied fleet
justified the use of the frontal attack.

THE HOME MERCHANT

The home merchant. Who is he?
He is the chap who gives you credit
when you are financially broke, and car
ries your account until you are able to
pay.
He is the chap who gives you back
your money or makes exchanges wnen
you are not satisfied with what you
have bought.
He is the chap who stands behind his
guaranty, and makes restoration of all
losses that yo1 may sustain on the
goods you buy.
be is the chap who meets you at the
door with handshake, and let's you
out with message to the kids, and
real come again goodby
he is the chap who meets and greets
you on the street every day in the year,
and takes neighborly interest in your
family and your affairs.
He is the chap whose clerks and
bookkeepers and other employees live in
Viroqua and spend their money with
you and with other Viroqua people.
He is the chap who pays heavy taxes
to help support Viroqua schools, and
build Viroqua streets, and maintain
Viroqua fire departments and police
departments, and parks. and lighting
and water service. 1x
He is the chap who helps support
Viroqua churches and hospitals and
charity organizations, and Viroqua
lodges and commercial clubs, and talks
for Vircqua and boosts for Yiroqua
every day in the year. AAss
He is the chap who visits you when
you are sick, sends flowers TO your fam
lily when you die, and follows your body
out among the trees and tonnbs, as far
as human feet may travel with the
dead. sF al
He is the home merchant -y5ur
neighbor--your friend your helper in
times of need.
Don't you think that you ought to
trade with him, and be his friend and
helper in the time of his need?
Don't you know that every dollar
that you send out of Viroqua for mer-
chandise, is sent to strangers-to men
who never spend dollar in Viroqua, to
men who would not trust you for box
of matches, to men who would turn you
over to the police if lou should enter
their offices?
You don't save rauch, frequently
nothing. when you send your money
cut of Viroqua and you take all the
risk yourself cs short weight or meas
.-e and of getting damaged or inferior
goods, And don't you know that the
growth and prosperity of Viroqua de-
ponds very largely upon the success
and prosperity of the home merchants?
Out-of- town people judge our city by
the appearance of our stores and the
degree of enterprise shown by our mer-
chants. And our home merchants can
not succeed unless home folks give
them loyal support.

Q.-ls there any way of telling from
the Scriptures where we are living on
the stream of time? Does the Bible
teach how louq - an has been living on

Answer. The Bible does give sat
isfactory answer to these questions.
Scientists have INDUCED in much spec
ulation as TO the length of time man
has been on the earth Their guesseS
have ranged over a wide field One
celebrated Geologist claims that it has
been fifteen thousand years since the
FIRST man was in Egypt. while another
claims 100000 years since the first
man was on European soil In con-
trlst with these speculative theo-
rieS we have the clear and connected
chain of Bible chronology which
shows that less than seven " sand
years have elapsed since thu ton
OF the first man. It indulgys in no
guesscs. but clearly teaches that Adam
was the first man. II gives its own
chronology. which is subdividcd as fol.

Good will is very curions thing, says
Miss Tarbell. It ia compounded of
friendliness, experience, character of
workmanship, established relations.
A self-respecting workman who over a
long period has talked prouly Of "our
shop, "our old man" "our goods, ="
has helped drive that business into a
community In an undertaking like a
department store. the satisfaction and
pride of the women and girls in the
place is recognized as one of its real
assets. There have been frequent dem
onstrstions of the injury that thought
less and heartless treatment of women
can do business if this is noised
abroad.
