Death of -Ex-Ald. Otis J. Libby.

The flag at half-mast at Grand Army
hall on Wednesday told the sad story
that another old veteran had passed
away. A man who was also prominent
and esteemed citizen, Ex-Alderman Otis
J. Libby, passed away at his home No. 8
Howard street on Wednesday after a
short illness of pneumonia, Mr.. Libby
was born in Frankfort, Me-, on Sept. 8.
1889. He served in the Civil War in the
Sixteenth Maine Regt. He was men,

was also a Mason and Granger. Mr..
Libby has resided in Melrose about
fifteen years and twelve years ago
purchased the home at 9 Howard street.
where he passed away.
He was elected to the Board of Alder
men from Ward Two in 1907, and served
two years. In 1909 Mayor Moore ap-
pointed him on the Board of Charities,
where he served admirably for two
years, but owing to the illness of his
wife declined reappointment by Mayor
French. 1t is doubtful if there lives in
Melrose man 80 widely known as Mr..
Libby. He became really character
of the town, as every day, whatever the
weather. he would be seen driving about
the city, either on business or taking
some convalescent friend or neighbor for
an outing. Every city laborer knew
him, and he was ever ready with jest or
story to cheer those whom he met.
OF his countless charities there is no
record, save in the hearts of those whom
he befriended, and who are left to miss
and mourn him. He might we'll have
been the subject of Sam Walter Foss'

A LETTER FROM IOWA,

To THE EDITOR OF The JOURNAL: |
am renting my forty eighth subscrip-
ton, am entering my fiftieth year in Iowa.
l took the Progressive Age until it be-
came too Rusty and have taken The
Journal ever since. and l assure you it is
a welcome visitor each Saturday. | am
glad to read of the 'spud" boom. hope
our Maine friends will not hold on too
long; it looks as if prices are at their
highest. read that in Chicago twenty
five cars stood for two days and not a
single sale, with prices from 25 to SO cents
less per bushel. Des Moines is boycott
ting spuds for week. They are retail
ing here for So 80 per bushel. The crop
was short here. Hay crop fine, corn
crop fairly good. Winter wheat poor,
owing to winter killing. Oats an aver
age crop. Hogs out of slght-above IL
cents per pound live weight. Sheep
SIP per head; also high prices for cattle
and horses. At present it looks like
prosperity, but what the future has in
store remains to be seen. 1t looks to
me as though there will be slump ere
long. Here in central Iowa we have had
a steady cold, but not severe winter;
not much snow. The ground is bare at

The churches many years ago recog-
nized the value of advertising and you
now see in the Saturday morning and
evening editions of the daily papers OF
the larger cities column after column Of
church notices. Does any one believe
that Billy Sunday would have attracted
the many thousands that have attended
his meetings, and seen the error OF their
ways, without the publicity given him
by the newspapers? The page after
page in the big dailies devoted to re-
ports of his meetings and other activ-
tiles was advertising of the most effect
i've kind, and many worthy cause is in
debted to the press for such advertising.
AS to general advertising it is too large
a subject to be dealt with at the end OF
an article already sufficiently long. The
success of newspaper advertising de-
ponds somewhat upon its style, but more
particularly upon the advertiser, who
must have the goods, and in quality and
value they must be as represented.
