Sprinu Advertising.

There is good argument for ad-
vertising at every time Of the year,
but at no period is it stronger than
in the spring. Everyone then wants
some thing new. People the tired of
eating the same old thing on their
tables, and new delicacies and novel
ties appeal to them. 1t is great
time for promotion for the sale of
new lines, or to introduce any kind
of a product to people who don't
know about it.
In dry goods and clothing lines ev-
eryone is buying. In household fur.
niture and supplies it is a time of re.
newals.
But people do not spend all this
money aimlessly. They feel keenly
the high prices, and are looking
around sharply to see where they can
get the most for their money. Bar
gains advertised in the newspapers
get the bulk OF the trade. And the
merchant that advertises gets his
name before the public, and they feel
interested to try him out. ="

by these advantages II is based on
facts; Il strikes at an imperative need,
and it achieves Obvious results.
The facts are these: Fully 80 per

army man convey instead Of good

mary griefs.
"There's a vacant chair at the ia

How we need your strong. broad

Mothers sick. Fathers sprained
his little finger and poor little Johnny's

These are typical dum-dum letters
to boys In camp. Ninety per cent OF
them are better left unpenned. And
herefrom springs the new service.
"Shield the boy from the triiling
cares aud worries Of home" urge the
officers. Tell him how proud you are
Of him. how fine you know he's doing,
how happy you all are.
"Soldiers, Ike sehooboYs, partieu-

Either way the effect Ia contagious.
"Despondent, the trooper is reduced
TO one-half efficiency. His spirit
spreads to the squad, to the company.
He becomes discouraged and dissatis-
fed with the service. Gloom letters
are responsible for more than half the

So 1t Is that the importance Of a
troopers mail Is recognized by army
officers far and wide. and at Chleka

II has already gone so far that stu

Rsf0re His Henor

ia city court last Saturday morning
before Judgs Fuller, David Caffoii,J "
Lee street, blended guilty 70 the theft
from Antonio F0rcier, Of Putnam, Of p
gold watch and chain valued at SIS.
According to the evidence trouble
between the two men begen late RI
day night, when Forcier went into The
pool room Of I'll Vangel, Main street,
and found Carroll there. The latter
was, according to The testimony, in 3
fighting mood and was looking for
trouble. On The stand, Foreier slated
that he had wished nothing 10 do
with Carroll sud 50 left for his home
at about midnight. On getting rs FAR
as the Congregations church, how
ever, he thought that he should like 70
have few words with the accused,
and SO he waited for Carroll TO catch
up with him. Hot words resulted and
both men were anxious 10 get al esch
other. Foreier admitted that ne struck
first. and his blow, landing on his OPP
ponents jaw, fioored Carroll for the
full count. Both men then elinched,
and rs they rolled about in the middle
of The road, Fofeier said he heard his
watch fall from his pocket to the
ground. After hostilities had ceased
The watch was not 10 be found.
Early Saturday Fofcief consulted
Prosecuting Attorney johnson and q
warrant fot CafroIlfs arrest was sworn
out. He WIS easily located by Captain
Ryan who started with him to the
lookup On the way Carroll expressed
n wish To consult a lawyer The re.
quest was granted but the attorneys
services were not obtained As Carfoil
went by Lee street he asked If he
might see bis wife before being put 10
trial, but Captain Ryan would not
grant this permission unless he the
captain could speak to the vile iirst.
The prisoner did not fancy this. After
some talking Carroll told the Captain
that his wife had the watch and he
ofiefed to produce 1t, which he did. 1t
had been hidden in the woodshed.
In court Carroll said that he had ab
soluteIy no remembrance OF taking The
watch, and he swore that his wife had
found 1t on his person and had tried TO
get him to give the watch to the police.
The defendant said that he had no use
for the watch as he himself owned Two,
and his only reason for not turning il
over TO the authorities at once WAS be-
cause he wanted To scare Forcier into
thinking that the timepiece WAS lost.
His only motive in keeping the watch
WAS, he said, TO punish Foreier for the
little difficulties they had had the day
before. Carroll told the court that he
was the sole support of his wife and
little child, and in view of this, after
giving the prisoner some sound adj
vice, Judge Fuller continued the case
for two months.
