HONESTY is THE BEST POLICY"

The American people are prone to applaud the
clever sharper and say |well, if he is smart
enough to get away with it, let him do it," and
kindred remarks that somehow indicate loose
screw in the speakers moral makeup. AS mat
ter of fact such statements are distinctly harm
full especially when uttered in the presence Of
young men and boys. Boys are almost too apt
to pick up philosophy they think is smart-too
apt to develope loose ideas that frequently lead
to no place but their downfall You, young man,
don't you believe in such foolishness. Remember
that old aphOrism Honesty is the Best Policy
Trite and old fashioned as it is, like many old
sayings, it has the wisdom of the ages behind it.
That streak of honesty in you, that inward
voice that tells you right from wrong, is the best
part of you. 1t comes to you from your fore
bears, honest men and women who cultivated a
conscience for you by their daily right living.
Honesty is the Best Policy" You bet it is-it
pays every way. Not honesty in just big things
but honesty in every little pesky thing Honesty
IN your every act and deed. Cultivate honesty.
Search your conscience when decision is to be
made and be sure, my boy, that if the little in
ward voice tells you not to do something while
your greed and avarice 1--WE all have IT'D is shout
ing and surging in your soul to do that thing and
giving you thousand spacious and devilish reas-
ons Why just listen to that voice and do the right
thing Honesty, my boy, means goodness; it
means justice it means mercy, it means might
and best Of ALT means Goodness. Cultivate it.
Let It work on you and with you. Some times
people may suspect you, but if your soul is hon
est the lies and ISLANDERS will fall away like water
on ducks back. Cultivate honesty-in the end
you will be rewarded by the highest mark men
can give you-for they will trust you Trust of
humanity and in humanity is the finest, dearest
possession in the wide, wide world.

some pride of his mailing list Said that at irreg-
ular intervals he mailed out literature to $50
homes. He seemed surprised to learn that by US
ing the newspaper he could reach thrice the num-
Der of homes within the same territory to say
nothing of hundreds of others outside, but in the
county, and at less expense than his mailing
cost was
And the newspaper gets there every week be-
cause it is the newspapers business to get there.
NO matter how good shoe or clothing man
man is his business is shoes or clothing. The
newspapers business is publicity both news and
advertising, and consequently it looks after the
job it is paid to do

on live news page. The readers attention is
held on that page for given number of minutes
and during all that time he or she is reading con-
the page If it is an ad for women the woman
reader goes further and seeks what attractions
the store has to offer. If it is mans ad, such
as clothing, shoes, hardware, implements, or 9TH
er mems things, the male reader will give it his
careful perusal. A farm sale attracts the atten-
of the year the farmer is in the market for what
his neighbor has to sell. The entire proposition
is submitted fresh every day or week with an
abundance of live news matter.
The upshot Of the proposition is that "the
proof of the pudding is in the eating" Every
large retail house in the country uses newspaper
space IN preference to every other method be-
cause they have found it to not only be the most

Users with goods of every description when they

seek a connection with the local paper Seed con-
cerns automobile houses, tobacco manufacture

newspaper as means to get business in new

CHRIST'S BIRTHDAY,

There are holidays and holy days celebrated
throughout the world each nation and cline hav-
ing It's especial occasions when it makes glad and
bedecks its shrines. But all over the civilized
world there is only one day universally observed
as day OF days and that day is Christmas.
Strange as it may SEEM or not strange at all,
the story of Christ's nativity, life and death
stands out in human history as it's most tragic
epic beautiful in its pathos and matchless in it's
sublime quality. The world tires of every book
but the Bible and grows weary of every tale but
one-and that is the Life of Christ
Agnostlcs argue that Christ was not the Son
OF God and that his conception was human one.
Some even contend that the doctrine of humility
and sacrifice as practiced by Christ and preached
by His followers since His time has been deadly
destructive to the advancement of the race They
MAINTAIN that the doctrines of Christianity sway
|ed the world, emerging from it's barbarism into
new light OF science and mental attainment. back
into the weary centuries of the medieval per-
100 and the subsequent Middle Ages, when every
misfortune was treated as an act of God, and woe
and oppression ruled legalized and unchecked to
curse struggling humanity. Perhaps this is true
perhaps the world was not ready for the mes
sage and the centuries to elapse we're but q part
of the fulfllment
But the agnOstlcs one and ALL cOncede that
Chrlsts life and death a most noble one The
hope was held out by Christ that better THINGS
awaited the unfortunate of this world and the
poor and the oppressed have through the centur-
les chung to Him.
Christ was born in a manger to poverty. and
his doctrine is not one of pride and affluence. His
every act and deed asserts that he was born to
the poor and sorrowful, and we'd for them
In the end wealth, powcz might and il +, Ter
ance slew Him and the Staying in body that oc-
Cured then has been enacted again and again in
the Staying OF His spirit and will be-
But Christ's birthday has come again and the
world will observe it in every land and cline The
poor man will erect his modest tree and burn one
or two candles, and the rich will ride to the fash
lonable church to hear thu beautiful anthems
sung by trained and pail choir.
The soldier in the trenches will think of HIM
as he cranks the rapid fire and services will be
offered to HIM on the battle ship lurking on the
deep for the ripple of the submarine The bird
man aloft may dream of HIM and below the wat
er the crew Of the death engine who go with their
lives IN their hands, may utter silent prayer
HALLELUJAIi ON THE HIGHEST; CHRIST
HAS COME-HAS COME!

THE REAL KIND OF ADVERTISING

All forms of publicity serving to call attention
to business are good and all have their purpose
Some concerns use billboards, others moving pic
lures, other pamphlets and broadsides and 9TH
ers contine their advertising to newspapers Still
others use all forms in abundance and in an in
telligent manner cleverly gotten up ad. will
get returns no matter what the method of pub
icity is. But all in all the best and most popu-
lar medium is the newspaper. The reasons for
this are many and few are as follows:
The newspaper is printed every week because
it is the publishers business to be timely and the
advertiser has the assurance of reaching a given
number of patrons at a certain hour and date
Newspaper advertising is effective because the
modern newspaper displays the advertisements
