as colony STILL its advance is probably largely due to
the proximity of the United States They have caught the
bareback of our prosperity and freedom They their
advance likewise, to the American spirit which is much

Had we remained colony, that American spirit could
hardly have developed We would have looked to the
leadership of the Old World and accepted its traditions
with loyal submission. Political initiative would have
been checked. When comnlunitys civic ambition is

spirit of achievement.

BAD TRADE.

In any town, no matter how prosperous there is al
ways certain proportion Of merchants who complain of
bad trade They make melancholy report of local bus
mess conditions Nothing doing is the burden of their
refrain So far they concerned there is money
in circulation.
Yet the currents of prosperity flowing by their
door, Hundreds thousands of people pass their stores
every day, most of them with money in their pockets
their way out Of town to buy
There is plenty Of money and plenty of prosperity
at this time. If business is dull if it does grow
there must be something the matter with us or our
methods
Usually the trouble is that the public has kind Of
prejudice against such stores. Somehow it has got the
impression that they not up to date and running
along in the ofashioned way that they did years
ago.
The trouble in such case is almost invariably that
that store has done nothing bring itself before public
attention 1t simply opens its doors in the morning and
expects the public to enter without further solicitation
But the public is not built that way. 1t does care
much to visit stores unless feels in advance that is
going to buy something there People hate go into
and then walk out without buying particularly in
their home town where they known &c. having this
impression in their minds little unfavorabe to such
stores, they simply keep away from them only visit
them when they want something quick in an emergency
An impression of that kind can be dispessed bv ad-
vertsng. In short time campaign of publicity gives
en impression that merchant has worke up It makes
him look like live People begin to think that after
ALL he may be up-todate and they come around to look
at what he has.

Palace Theatre Tonight.

| AhNotAN AOAuS"s'
Pauline Frederick, whose splendid
dramatic performances in previous
Famous Players productions has won
her the undisputed title "Frederick
the Great" does the most tremen-
dous work of her distinguished ca
reer in that company's adaptation of
E. Phillips Oppenheim's celebrated
novel. "The Worlds Great Snare,
which is the Paramount picture at
the Palace theatre tonight.
"The Worlds Great Snare" paints
with virile brush the high lights Of
the big cafe life in a western min
ing town where men live by the
sweat of their brows and guard what
they earn by the quickness of their
trigger fingers. Into this life there
is suddenly projected woman whose
knowledge of the world has not been
gained from books, but who has been
immeasurably softened by this great
love for the one man who saw in her
beauty something beside an enchant-
ing toy.
Some of the incidents of the story
form striking scenes in the produc-
ton, among them the great cafe
scene in which Miss Frederick appears
as the dancer and the great fight in
the cafe, in which Bryan and Rutten,
a gambler and degenerate, engage in
& desperate struggle, in which the
latter is finally hurled over the bal
oony railing to the tables on the floor
below. There follows general riot,
which is one of the most exciting
spectacles ever filmed.

One of the best plays produced In

Icesses. The play proves its title,

the funniest combination of circum-
stances ever staged, but as practical
lesson to those who do not believe it

quarrels with his son, and the latter
goes into business in the new way,
determined to succeed through adver-
tising. He scores big success, as
any energetic young man is found
to do if he advertises judiciously, and
his skeptical father is, in the end,
glad to buy into the new firm! Every
newspaper publisher and every town
knowns the man who does not believe
in advertising, and when the players
glibly tell of the success Of "O'Sul-
livan Rubber Heels" 'Ivory Soap"
"Kellogg's Corn Flakes" and other
immense concerns created through ad-
