Dull Season Advertising.
(Morrisville Messenger.)

The Northfeld News says:
''The merchants will soon commence
the spring advertising, and while they
are thinking about it, they must re-
member that the mail order houses are
already sending out their alluring cat
aiognes filled with attractive cuts and
remarkable bargains The home mer-
chant must be ready to compete with
these SO called bargains.
'Now in the between seasons is
the time to keep before the patrons
the fact that you have attractions and
bargains for them.
''The home merchant can keep the
trade at home if he will constantly
keep himself before the people, and
convince them of his readiness to; serve
them as faithfully as the big mail order
concerns. On the other hand the people
should cultivate an interest in the home
institution, and remember that every
dollar invested at home helps your town
and whatever helps the town adds to
your own financial interest.
A few of our advertisers "drop
OUT during January, February, and
March, and then wonder why the mail
order houses get so much trade.
The News tell why.
Inc mail order mousse Is on the jed
| during these sdull months, with cat
alogues, circulars, adds, ETC., because
the men who manage these million dol
/ lar concerns put out their advertising
/ when the people have time to read il
during the long winter evenings
| This is the time some merchants order
their adds out to save a little money.
There is moral concealed in tn,
above.
If you do not see it, here is conun
drum?
Why do the mail order houses pay
seven per cent on the actual capita
in their stores, and they pay 20 pc
cent more on the common stock, Cal

will')?
Because they advertise in the dul
season.

tify the belief that we could do any
thing, either at the beginning or at the
end.
But it is not in the fact that we are
unprepared and unfit and have no mill
tary resources worth mentioning that
the grea* danger lies. 1t is in the fact
that the people do not care. The sub
iect of our unpreparedness is not dis
cussed by the people. The newspapers
talk about it, and the magazines, and
the politicians and the statesmen. But
the people are indifferent. And nothing
that the government can do, nothing
that the newspapers and magazines and
the pulpit and lecture platform can do
will be of the slightest effect in render
ing this nation safe if the nation

GOSSIP

Gossip is the art of scattering odium
upon people who are not present with
an alibi. There are several kinds of
time-tested odium in common use, any
one of which will eat large, gaping
holes in the best reputation ever de-
signed. When a smooth, docile reputa-
ton has been well scattered with hear
say odium it becomes of no value to its
owner, who is obliged to move into an
other state and build up new one.
Gossip is caused by the absence of
safety valve on the human tongue
Nature intended the tongue to remain
at home and live quiet retired life,
so that it would not become overheated
and explode in the direction of the
neighbors. One or two such explosions,
aimed at the head of the new minister
or the cashier of the bank, will cause
more trouble and CONSERVATION than a
hair-pulling match in the choir. No
body should be allowed to join the
church until his tongue has been passed
upon by boiler inspector and found
i equal 30 the task of sustaining a pres
i sure of 5000 pounds.
The gossip is usually man or woman
and sometimes both. There would bt
much less wholesale gossip in this coun
: try if there were fewer craeker-boxe.

and more work for the unemployed.
Idleness causes the tongue to wag
faster than pink kimono on a clothes
line, which impresses the lesson that
all gossips should be allowed to work
off their enthusiasm on rock pile.
Gossip is the only form of converse
ton which can start neck and neck
with the truth and win in a walk. There
is nothing that can overtake a choice
piece of gossip and retire it from circu-
lation except the death of all parties
concerned, even unto the fourth gene
ration. Thousands of men are afraid
to hire plain, nearsighted stenograph-
er for fear of having her converted in
to dashing, peroxide blonde affinity b.
the cruel voice of gossip. If gossip
sees married man walk home from
church with somebody else S wife, the
foundation is at once laid for two re
sounding divorce suits, and if a settle
ment is made out of court the lawyer:
are charged with blocking the course
of Justice.
The incest kind of gossip is that
/ which says a kind, generous word about
somebody and then rings off. TIL,
world is full of women who gossip il
this manner, God bless 'em, and the,
sweeten every life they touch.
