When Ads" Were Modest Appeals.

A hundred years ago the modest appeal rather than the beating of the big drum" was everywhere re- garded as the acme of good advertise ment, says The Christian Science Monitor. So James Platford, in issu- ing at that time an invitation to all and sundry. through the columns of Cowdroy's Manchester Gazette, in Eng land, to visit his Flora Gardens. would rather do anything than overstate his case.
 Deeply impressed with gratitude for the many favors conferred on Rim, he begs leave to inform his numerous friends and the public generally that the above garden is now open for the entertainment of those who will favor him with their company. He has also to inform them that a very respectable band of music will perform every Thursday evening. when the admission will be one shilling each.

Snlandid Home for Birds.

X few mics outside the city of De troit there is located a farm of about 2.000 acres upon which the owner, Henry Ford. of automobile fame, has had conditions made as nearly ideal as possible for turing and holding many of the various kinds of birds that visit that latitude.
 Bird conservation of this sort has already proved successful and eXpedi- ent. Mr. Ford's ample estate harbors the birds in winter as well as summer some species. considered migratory in their habits, apparently being content to remain here where peace and plenty abound throughout the year. To in- crease the number of birds is an eco homie necessity It is sound public policy viewed from any standpoint.- Exchange.

HE ADDED IT TO THE BILL
Hotel Manager Surprised Actress Who Was Accommodating Furnish
 ings for New Apartment.

Accustomed to the 1axer scrutiny that prevailed on the road and hav- ing in the past furnished in part sev- eral flats with the loot picked up in various hotels, the actress had dur ing her winter in New York been as- siduously robbing her breakfast and other trays of things that might help to furnish the apartment which she contemplated as summer retreat. Even linen and occasional pieces of bric-a-brac as fine as the hotel sup piled went into her trunk against the day of moving into the new apart ment.
 Finally the time came, the apart ment was rented and the hotel man ager was requested to send her up her bill as she was going to leave. In due time the bill arrived. To her horror it exceeded by at least $150 the sum she had expected.
 Instead of merely the account for the last week, there were charged nap kins, spoons. knives and forks and similar articles which had disap- peared. The account was surprisingly accurate. She had to admit that even in her agitation.
 Of course, it was necessary for her to register indignation and send for the manager He arrixed, armed with a list of what she had sought to ap propriate, as well as the dates oil which the things had disappeared It was useless to struggle
 Just unpack them, he said in an entirely businesslike way. and l will deduct them from the account"
 It was humiliating. There was no doubt of that. But there was in real ity only one way out. The manager retired. The trunks were repacked The substantial pile of household goods was put on the bed for his in- spection.
 Carefully a maid checked off the list. The revised bill was sent and the check for 1t delivered. Then without the savings of whole winter the guest retired. But it was with il gnashing of teeth and a deeply nut tered curse that left no doubt as to the emotions of the lady on departing from the hotel

JAPAN WILL STAND
 BEHIND UNCLE SAM
MISSION WILL ASK NO MONEY, MATERIAL NOR EQulPMENT-
 WILL CEMENT FRIENDSHIP.
WILL DEFEAT PROPAGANDA
Japanese Have Documentary Evidence That Germany Has Spent Vast Sums in U. S. and Japan To Create III
 Feeling Between the Countries.

Washington.-Japa will stand by the United States to the end of the war-and after.
 She will ask no money; no ma terial; no equipment.
 She will exchange pledges of nation al lasting friendship.
 She will prove that Germany, in- stead of seeking to make an ally of her, has been trying by propaganda to cause rupture between Japan and the United States.
 These are the outstanding aims of the forthcoming Japanese mission, which is expected to arrive here soon as they were outlined by source close to the Japanese embassy. He made these points:
 First-The mission is one of senti- ment.
 Second-Japan. unlike some of the other belligerents, is not in the slight est need of assistance, either finan- cial or material The mission will convince the Washington government of this
 hird-Documentarv evidence will be produced to show that Germany has spent vast sums in Japan and in the United States to create ill feel ing and suspicion on both sides and bring about break.
 Fourth-Japan will help the United States to the utmost extremity during the war-and after it. The mission hopes to take steps to obliterate in ternational troublemakers.
 German propagandists nave been unusually busy in the Oriental na- tion; but their activities now have been cut off The Germans, it was explained, always have predicted that as soon as the United States became involved in an open break with Mexi- co or any European power that Japan would throw her weight in the bal ance against the United States.
 It has been known here for several years that large amounts of money were being spent in this country in an effort to cause disruption of the relations with Mexico Other money was scattered throughout Mexico. The expected trouble never happened. it was pointed out. The German charges have had the opposite effect so far as the Japanese government was concerned.
 It is said here on the same high authority that the fact that there has existed a German propaganda in Ja- pan and in tie United States, to ar ray one country against the other, has been clearly proved by the sudden ces- sation of such propaganda since the United States declared war OH Ger many Many Germans have been fore ed to leave the United States. They also were forced to leave Japan when Japan and Germany went to war.

GALES WILL NOT
 HELP TO SETTLE
 CANANEA TROUBLE
Douglas Paper States That He Refuses To Do Anything On Account of Action of Officials.

That Gen. P. Elias Gales. governor of Sonora, will not attempt to settle conditions in Cananea and that he feels sore al the Cananea Consolidat- ed Copper company for the action it has taken in the matter is the word brought here from Cananea by Mexi- cans who say their information is first hand. Gales is reported to have de- clared that he will not make single move until the officials come to Mag dalena or Hermosilllo to see him.
 According to the report brought here. the officials of the company shut down the mine suddenly without any notice whatever. even shutting off the lights before all the men were out. leaving some of the mines in danger. and 3O.OOO people in the town without means of subsistence. Irrespective Of the merits of the company's conten- ton. Gales is said to have taken the stand that they should have notified him before closing the mine so that he might at least have made an effort to settle the trouble or else wait until he went into office.-Douglas Inde- pendent.

RRApsTREET,s REPORT.

NEW YORK, July 6.-Bradstreets will say tomorrow:
 A shifting or readjusting process, born of war conditions, tends to re- press operations in some channels, while at the same time stimulating a wide range of war lines to greater animation. Yet what might be term ed regular distributiye business is large, and though it is conceded that there is not the snap to buying that was so remarkable six months ago, faith in the future of trade is only tempered by concern over govern mental regulation of prices or by present uncertainty as to the full eff fects of establishments now making. Ho wfar these readjustments will go and what lines will be most repressed while expansion grows Tn the indus tries that are essential to warfare is the leading question. However, the main developments of the week are favorable, notwithstanding that the larger lines evince seasonable quiet. Warm weather and July clearances has been stimulated by retail which in turn has made for some recorders and industry is active as ever, being held back only by shortage of labor or raw materials.

NEW YORK, July 6.--The short in- tostnidable proportions indulged in further determined efforts to depress quoted values today. For a time heavy offerings of important stocks forced the list to lowest levels of the present movement, the decline being aided by greater weakness in speculative issues long under critical observation.
 Prices rebounded in the last half of the session, many leaders finishing at net gains. Labor problems and the undefned attitude of the administra- tion toward general industries served to check constructive operations.
 Automobile stocks furnished more than their usual quota to the days moderate turnover, the status of that industry, according to trade authorities finding reflection in the heaviness of the better known issues.
 All the prominent equipments were firm to strong at times, but forfeited their gains when selling became ex- tensive. United States Steel and kindred shares improved on covering of the short contracts.
 Rails pursued a narrow but stady course, responding to such support as developed at irregular intervals. Met. als were steady despite the expansion of labor troubles.
 Sales 590,000 shares.
 Trading in bonds was irregular on diminished dealings in internationals Liberty 31s's ranged from par to lOJ $50. U. s. bonds were unchanged on call. Total sales, par value. s2,275.- 900.

NEW YORK, July 6.-The tone of the market was somewhat improved today and il was rather apparent that liquidation of the past few days has strengthened the technical position. Effort of the professional element con- tinued the bulk of the dealings and in the final hour some of the leading room shorts showed a disposition to retire commitments. There was no news of broad significance in circu- lation although peace rumors were be- ing passed around and lacking official confirmation. Gold continues to be imported from Canada on rather large scale and is reflected in an easier tendency in the money market. However, at this time with so much uncertainty over the political situa- tion and legislative efforts at Wash ington substantial interests seem to be pursuing a course of indifference and more inclined to let the price in se- curities take its own course.
