Grew Tired of Being Called a Liar
Told Truth.

1t is not pleasant and profitable al
ways to tell the truth in the columns
of newspaper. But only a few days
ago the editor of paper in Indiana
grew tired of being called liar, and
announced that he would tell the truth
IN the future, and the next issue of the
paper contained the following items:
John BONN, the LATEST merchant
in town, made trip to Bellville yes
terday.
John Coyle, our grocer man, is
doing poor business. His store is
dirty and dusty. How can he do much
REV. Styx preached last Sunday
night on Charity" The sermon was

"Dave Sonkey died at his home in

Baptist parsonage The bride is
very ordinary town girl who doesn't
know any more about cooking than
jack rabbit, and never helped her
mother three days in her life. She is
not a beauty by any means and has

"The governor OF our great state. a
very ordinary man, who was elected
by accident. was here yesterday. He
has very few friends here now. He
promised some of the voters of this
precinct piece of the pie in event of
his election, but had forgotten all
about it when the time to hand over
the little Office rolled around"
Which reminds us of an Illinois edi-
tor who, becoming tired of welding
the whitcwash in the matter of obitu-
aries, decided to reform and tell the
truth Just once. lie commented as
follows upon the death of citizen;

The fall and winter buying season
is on, and nobody knows it better than
the catalog houses. Almost every
mail brings in their advertising by the

to paper the house and half of the
barn, if he is so disposed, he must be
an obscure citizen indeed. The mail
order houses are after the buyers and
after them hard They do not content
themselves with the statement that "it
does not pay to advertise. On the
contrary they are demonstrating by
the use of millions that it does pay to
advertise. The high cost of paper
does not seem to hamper their great

of sympathy for his family in their

MORE ADVERTISING BY REV.
JOHNSTON MYERS-S. o. ST.!
Tomorrow is the day known legal
ly at Sunday, called the Sabbath by
Christians, and known as Rest Day
among the Quakers for centuries.
Also it has been called Rest Day by
many bartenders since one day last
year when Mayor Thompson issued
an order.
However, tomorrow isn't exactly
Rest Day. for everybody. Take the
Rev. Johnston Myers at Emmanuel
Baptist church, 1920 Michigan av.
He's going to have a wireless ap-
paratus on his church platform and
messages will be sent to the Marconi
station downtown and back. After
that the Rev. Myers will preach on
''The Wireless Message"
This is one of a series of stunts the
Rev. Myers has been pulling. The
last one was distribution of Schulze
Co. bread. Everybody who came to
church got a little vest-pocket sized
loaf of bread, with a quotation from
the words of Jesus on it: 81 am the
bread of life"
Opinion is divided among church
people whether the Rev. Myers is on
the right track. Some say there
ought to be some more simple and
direct way of putting across the Cos
pei of Christ than using Schulze
bread or sticking a wireless appa-
ratus up behind the pulpit. Still 9TH
ers say the Rev. Myers is advertising
and advertising is modern, scientific
and in line with business methods.
Myers happens to be the same preach
er who filed the pulpit of ROckefel-
ler's church in Cleveland a while ago..
delivering the remark that some day
John D. Rockefeller would be recog-
nized as the greatest man of his age.
