She promptly informed him that
he would get all of her future shoe
patronage. In fact, she would call
friends attention TO the fact that
this line was carried locally and in
sisted on her calling and inspecting
his stock.
Her only reason for not having
patronized him in the past was that
she did not know that she could OBJ
tain the particular shoe wanted from
his store
After she had departed he ex-
planned that the reason he had not
advertised the shoe in his local pa
per was that he presumed everybody
in the community would sooner or
later call and look over his stock.
Then, too. he had been in the shoe
business for a long time and natur-
ally figured that the trade was ia
miliar with his merchandise.
Same old story: An utter lack Of
appreciation of the value of adver-
tising -acquainting possible pur-
chasers with what he had to offer
them.
The public would. Of course, even
tually become familiar with his lines
/ in some way or other. He could,
however. obtain desired results in
this direction much more economi-
cally and expeditiously by utilizing

Much of the trade lost by small
town merchants to foreign competi-
tion is the direct result of lack of
proper advertising.
A most convincing example in sub
stantiation Of this statement came
under my observation about three
years ago during visit to one of
our small towns.
While interviewing one of the
merchants in the interest of stand
ard merchandise and better selling
methods, a woman called to get a
button replaced on shoe-which
service, by the way, was gladly per-
formed without charge.
After examining the shoe this
merchant asked where It had been
bought. I'm blank city, replied the
lady. II buy all of my shoes there"
why don't you buy your shoes
here?" he countered. II can save
you the express and inconvenience
Of sending away for them"
II would like to-" she rejoined,
"but ] wear this make Of shoe only,
in this particular style or last"
He Immediately turned to his
shelves and brought out a duplicate
of her shoe-same make, same style
and same factory last number.

entire year" he explained. And an
therefore. in position to serve you tC
much better advantage than anyone

can feast their eyes a plenty in
Roman these days. On all va
can't lots, in every lawn, street,
alley and everywhere the prolific
bloom greets the eye. And it is
said that this plant is one of the
best agencies known to impart to
the soil that most important of
all qualities nitrogen which all
soils must possess to become and
remain productive. That being
true, it will not be very long be
fore this will be the richest soil

The street and alley committee
of the town council started a
good work last week when they
ordered all the board sidewalks
in town repaired and put in safe
condition. The experience of
paying $3.50 damages as was
lately done, was not pleasant and
to avoid a repetition of the same
and perhaps not get off so luckily,
may have prompted this action.
Whatever may have been the
motive, it will be appreciated by

Especially the writer) that it is
bad management to allow the
loose stock to break through the
sidewalks every year and the
town then repair the walks at

stock to run at large and compel
property owners to stand the ex-
pense of new sidewalks every
year. A better policy would be
to impound the stock.
Another Mexican raid across
the border. That heading is
becoming altogether too common
in the daily newspapers and the
people are commencing to Won
der how much longer President
Wilson and his cabinet are going
to tolerate such outrages. Last
Sunday more American lives
were sacrificed by the greasers
and several others carried away
and perhaps murdered across the
boundary. There is a growing
opinion in this country that the
only manner in which the squab-
BILE in Mexico will be settled is
by Uncle Sam going down there
with a sufficient force behind
him to thoroughly spank the
Mexicans into respecting the die
tates of this republic. With as
many factions striving for con-
troll of affairs as there are states,
the chances are not very brilliant
for peace among them. We
gould stand for them killing one
another all right, but when it
comes to invading this country
and numbering American citizens
merely to force intervention,
then the time has arrived to
make them be good.

SUPREME Of NATIONALS

New York. Feb. s.--John X. Tener
Is now the autocratic power in the
National League. Hereafter he will
rule the major organization with an
iron fist Just as does Ban johnson in
the American League.
The magnates of the National
League in session at the Waldorf
Astoria today voted to take away the
right of club to appeal from de-
cision of the president. Formerly II
the president decided against club on
a protest 1t had right to appeal to
the board of directors and the latter
body could reverse the president IL the
vote was unanimous. Everything Is
different now. What President Tener
says goes, whether a club owner likes
it or not.
When former Governor Tener was
prevailed upon to accept the presi-
dency two years ago. he made two de-
mands One that he must be elected
for a term of years and the Other
that he must be the Boss at all times.
He won out both ways. he Is being
paid about $25, 900 a year and now he
Is the whole works, so to speak.
The club owners went into session
early in the afternoon and adjourned
for the day shortly after s o'clock.
