Schwencker, left alone, also exam
ined his revolver. Behind him some
place was the Fatherland, the great
German Empire. He felt that, in q
way, it was all dependent on him. Tow

princes and princesses, the Kaiser and

lonely sentinel on distant outpost. He
was keeper of the frontier.
He vaguely suspected the approach
Of trouble-what, he did not know. But
he was going to be prepared.
1t IS to be surmised that neither the
French nor German foreign offices
were greatly concerned about the exact
geographical position Of Bondoukou.
The Togo-Dahomey boundary was the
least of their troubles. When the re-
port of the minor surveying expedition
came in, it was decorously referred to
commission-along with other things
that was TO meet In Paris, and then
the commission had gravely referred
this part of its labors to two Of its
youngest attaches. Whereupon the
commission had gone to dine.
The attaches. being young and ex-
uberant, undertook their part of the
work loyfully. They had both been to

esty in advertising is not n mere slogan
of the idealist. 1t springs from the
heart of men who believe that dishon-
esty is always wrong, that misrepre-
sentation is always a disadvantage, and
that the customer has right to be pro-
tected by the man to whom he pays his
money There is no defense feE-the man
who sells gooos under false pretenses.
He is criminal at heart.
$50 the movement of which we are a
part is for the betterment of conditions
of merchandising as well as for better

chant to do full justice to his custo-
mers, and an attempt to educate him to
the advantages to the commercial world
and to him of strict honesty in the tran
saction of business with his own friends
who favor him with their trade.
"Just picture in your minds what
this would mean and the increased value
of each advertisement put forth. When
the public believes implicitly what is
stated in the advertising its response
will be immediate, and effective beyond
all precedent. 1t is too much to say
that the time viii come when the state
ments of the advertising will be more
carefully guarded than the statements
of the statesmen in the stores, and that
the truth of everyone made will always
be beyond question! l believe such a
state of affairs will eventually arrive,
and when it does, no man will question
how much his advertising pays him.
"On behalf of this organization, and
speaking as it's president, l ask the co.

between buyer and seller that large
measure of confidence that means sue

Schwencker did not reply at once to
Durand's peevish rebuke. ''Or In BeT-

bferkeIIer, with music playing and a
breeze in the branches overhead. Ach
Goit, that boundary commission"
The commission had passed through

three civilian engineers. German,
French and English, with an escort Of
two hundred native tirdiileurs, choppers
and chainmen For two days they had
paused there, during which time Bon
doukou was become as the Field OF
the Cloth Of Gold. The commissioners
brought whisky with them, and cognac,
aud kummel, and the Illustrated papers
of the Latin and the Goth. For two
DAYS Schwencker and Durand had rev.
eled each in his native language 1t
was talk-fest, an orgy of language
in which the pink k-and-yellow English
man alone showed moderation. Then
the commission had cut its way into
the jungle again, leaving two Tapping

Schwenckers.
The Germans house was distin-
guished from every other house in Bon

window with glass, but square hole
with palm-thatch shutter.
Toward this the Frenchman cautiously
made his way. The familiar sounds
and smells OF the jungle village came
to him, and then the half-forgotteA

of pen on paper. 1t was almost M

Schwencker's voice sounded like

Durand's jaw dropped in amazemcnt.
So that was why Bondoukou was
French. This dirty, God-forsaken

and kraw-kraw, its heat and dust its
flies and beetles and ants, was French.
And for this Schwencker had wanted

Advertising Man Asserts That
Confidence Is Basis of Success


ga speaker before this club last year
said that there were stores in this town
he would not enter because of the i'm
preston of their character and prac
tices he had gained from their advertis
ing copy. SO many hold this same view
that advertising becomes not only n
constructive force, but in such cases it
may be considered as a destructive en-
gine as well. The store that has this
character of advertising positively des
troys its chances to make customers of
the well informed.
Advertising Must Be Honest.
"This is as it should be, too. If an
advertiser is projecting his store into
larger field through public appeal,
that appeal should and always does re-
fleet the character of the store. If the
advertising is dishonest, the reader
knows that the store is untrustworthy,
and he is put on his guard and avoids
transactions with it.
"If the advertising is flamboyant he
is justified in the belief that the store
itself is marked by that characteristics
If the advertising is exaggerated, he
may well believe the salesman will ex-
aggerate, that the goods will not come
up TO the quality claimed for them, and

ticularly, of course, to rose plants
chosen and grown especially for cut
flower production. Such roses will be
largely of the perpetual blooming sorts
When rose is cut from such plants
tea roses or other perpetual boomers
only two or three eyes of the cur
rent seasons growth of that branch
should be left on the plant. This
should give the roses very long stems.
Succeeding blossoms should be cut close
to the ground. 1t will seem like de-
stroying the bush to take so much off
1t, but if the object is the production of
roses, the cutting away Of the surplus
wood will attain the desired end.
If the spring pruning has not been
sufficiently severe the plant is likely
to have long, naked stalks and short
stems to the flowers. With this char
aeter of growth only one or two strong
leaf buds should be left on the branch
when the flower is cut, so as to slim
ulate as much growth as possible from
the base OF the plant.
The greatest temptation to leave
wood is where there are two or mora
buds on one branch, some being small
when the terminal one is open. This
temptation to follow bad practice
can be avoided by pinching off all
side shoots after bud has formed on
the end of branch. This prevents tho
formation of two or more buds on ono
stalk. This summer pruning will en-
courage additional blooms on varieties
which bloom more than once year.N

shrinking Gulf Of Guinea lay the

Durand and Schwencker knew this. yet
they hated each other. They sat In
the darkness In front of Schwenckers

would be sitting in the darkness In
feont of Durands mol house. They
were punctilious in such matters. Du-
rand, as the latest arrival, had called

soon as he had his house built he had
received visit from Schweneker, and
then, next night, Durand had returned
the call. It had been going on like

Their session was longer than fifteen

about. They would work out para

DR.. Richard c. Cabot, who is head
OF the Massachusetts General Hospi-
tai, has been writing for the American
Magazine, April and May, on the sub
ject of Better Doctoring for Less
Money"
He says that "A new era has come
in the practice of medicine, but most
people do not know 1t yet. We have
begun to emerge from that stage OF
medical work in which the doctor was
peddler selling goods from house
TO house. into the more advanced and
sensible era in which the doctor stays
at his place of business, like anyone
else who has goods to sell, and the
people who want these goods come
to him. The shop where he has his
goods to sell is generally called a
hospital and he has associated with
him there body of men and women
similar to work people, foremen and
managers OF any industrial plant or
dry goods store. He has there some
beginnings Of satisfactory division OF
labor and specialization of function
Therefore. he can give the public a
