The Tendency of Every
Man Is to Live up to
His Name
BY J. r. HAMILTON
Former Advertising Manager of Wanamaker's, Philadelphia

Wherever you find a good name you will find some mar
trying to live UP to it. Character follows reputation far more
quickly than reputation follows character. No one ever lost hs
good name except through folly.
What the world thinks of a man is the very best moral tonic
that is sold under the label of philosophy.
And it is the same with merchandise as it is with men. The
nameless thing is dreaded everywhere, while the thing with a
good name is usually good because you expect it to be.
Men grow proud of their products. You will find a manu-.
facturer saying, "This shoe has got to be good because it bears
my name' You will find a Gamer saying, 81 cannot use I've any
more than T can tell a lie" You will find a clothing manufac
turer saying, off I am all WOOL my clothing must also be all
wool"
And so it goes with every single product that carries a brand
or a name. Whenever a man sets a standard, he strives to live up
to it; and whenever the world sets that standard, he doubles the
effort.
Which simply means, if you want the best. you must ask for
the best. And every time you ask, you make it better.
There is hardly one of you readers who does not know the
name of every good product on the market. From clothing to
sugar and from hosiery to baking powder some good name is
indelibly fixed in your mind, yet, when you ask for an article,
most of the time you do not use that name.
And every time you fail to do so, you discourage the maker,
you lower the standard for yourself and you allow some inferior
thing to gain in strength and capacity.
Let this go home in your mind: You set the standard of mer.
chandise. The maker follows your ideals. Authorizations creep
in through your laxity. Whenever you ask for any old thing,
you get it.
While you are reading the advertising news in this paper
today, make up your mind to ask only for what you know to be
good; to learn what is best and demand it and to have no parley
with the nameless things of trade.

MANY DYES AT OUR SERVICE
Cutting Off OF European Supply Need
Not Cripple the Country, Is che
Assertion Made.

Now that the supply of coal-tar
dyes from Europe has been cut off,
the Hardwood Record suggests that
we return to the dyes that were used
before coal-tar colors were invented.
These were derived from bark, roots,
wood and the juices of plants. The
Hardwood Record gives a list of the
most important native plants that
were 80 used and hal are still open
to us.
The yellow oak supplies a fine yell
low dye called ~quercitron, found in q
thin layer under the outer bark.
The b%utternut gives a brown with
which the famous Confederate
Cleans" were dyed.
The outer hulls of the nuts of the
black walnut furnish a dark brown.
The roots, bark and wood of the
Usage orange produce a fine yellow.
Other yellows can be made from the
yellow wood, mesquit and staghorn
sumac.
The Indians used alder wood for
making a reddish dye.
By boiling the finely Clipped
heartwood of the bluewood a black
dye is produced in the valley of the
Rio Grande.
The brilliant red with which the
Indians tinted their eagle feathers
and buckskin garments was made
from dogwood.
Red gum and locust wood were
used also by the pioneers in America,
and the vivid yellow of Chinese silka
is made from a tree similar to the
locust.

was, n ne soon had 1t slung iron his
rifle barrel over his shoulder and was
picking his way down the mountain
side to find the trail at a lower point.
1t was moonlight when he reached the
hog-yard, and then the house, with his
trophy, which vas now quite still. Hav-
ing exhibited the bird to his mother
and young sister, he laid It in the hay
loft in the stable, and, after a full
recital of his hunt, went to bed, as
tired a boy as ever bagged a turkey,
and probably more tired than any boy
who never did.
Now, a most surprising thing hap
pened the next morning. When Bob.
opened the stable door the turkey was
still there, but it was standing on both
feet and with one wing trailing on the
ground. And, instead of fluttering
away as a regular wild turkey should,
1t looked up at him with a look half
curiosity and hah appeal. 1t hoped
a few steps away when he approached,
and then allowed Bob to touch it with
his hand.
"Well fellow" said Bob, "you don't
seem to be very much ~a-scart."
He looked at the wounded wing, Their

Then he thought of Yank. Hardly
knowing why, he let go his hold.
There was a squawk and a fut-
ter, a a at the door was nearly
knocked from his feet, and a feathered
thing that half ran and half flew made
for the pike and the woods beyond.
"He got away!" "Thar goes your
dinner, captain" and a half-dozen
shots all came at the same instant. AS
for the boy, he poured outdoors with
the rest and plunged into the woods
back of the cabin.
Two hours later a turkey, both Of
whose wings dropped now, the left one
stained with blood, fluttered into the
Scott clearing. To go to the boy was
the fathers first thought, to go for help
the second and better one. 1t was a
bit risky, but over the ridge he went
and down the mountainside.
Bob circled and crossed the pike a
mile above. On a white stone by the
road he saw a drop of red. swell, they
hit him but didn't git him." he said.
That evening, just as the sun dipped
to the West, there was another hor-
nets nest on the ridge. But this time
it was the enemy that walked into it.
There was time for only a few shots.
But the guerrilla captain heard them in
the valley below and decided that it
would be well to move on, leaving his
missing men to join him as best they
could.
But they never did. Next night, 20
miles away, the captain turned to one
of his men and asked:
"Do you reckon that fool bird had
anything to do with it,"
AS for Yank, the battle-scarred vet.

He lived to see peace return to the
mountains, and to all Tennessee, and
to the nation. And you may be sure
he never played the principal part in
any Thanksgiving dinner.

ed and agreed. And that is how Yank
became a member of the Scott family.
For Yank he was named. To Southern
partisans it was a term of opprobrium,
but to Bob a term Of affection-so ev.
erybody was satisfied.
BY good financiering in the spring
Mrs. Scott was able to add a small
flock of fowls to the Scott possessions,
including some turkeys. With these
Yank mingled, not without q tinge of
condescension. He lever did recover
the use Of that wing, but he could run
like a dog, using the good left wing as
a plane now and then to lift him to
the top of a fence. If Olive Chanute,
the inventor of the aeroplane, had seen
Yank, we might have had that inven-
ton a half century before we did.
Yank showed no disposition to leave
the Scott place, seeming to prefer the
good corn to woodland pickings.
1t was seldom that any word or ru-
NOR trickled through from Bob's ia
ther, and then there was a silence of
months that left the Scott household
very solemn indeed. The sympathies
of the neighbors were Southern; but,
be it recorded to their credit, they
treated the SCOTS with just as much
kindness as if the head of the family
had not gone into the Union rmy But
when the guerrillas began to operate
In the valleys below, there was reason
for some uneasiness, regardless of
ones sympathies.
One morning, just at the break OF
dawn, there was a cautious knock Oh

latch lifted, but the man who entered

Cause for Thanks.

There have been times in the history
of the country when Thanksgiving day
was rather the occasion of expressions
of hope for blessings to come than of
gratitude for those being enjoyed, but
even so the nation has not been I'M
mindful of its peculiar position as the
most fortunate of the countries of the
earth. Much more, then, should there
be thankfulness on every side today
when not only are the people of the
land enjoying peace while thousands
mourn abroad, but with peace is plenty
in contrast with the hunger that stalks
elsewhere to carry out the horror that
shot and shell did not complete.

boys desire for adventure and to the
soldiers desire for information. So,
after some reluctance and many eau
tons, the boy was allowed to go. To
divert suspicion, for the turkey would
attract more attention than the boy,
Yank was permitted to accompany him.
The boy and the bird were familiar fg-
ures in the neighborhood.
