Get Dozen to Facts

That's what every stores
advertisements should be.
Every advertisement should
be compiled from a calendar
of facts-couched in plain
English without the least
semblance of eXaggeration
or misleading statements.
When an advertisement is
couched in such smooth
terms that the public could
believe that the dollars of
one store will buy more
goods than the dollars of an
other business-that adver-
tisement is misleading and
the ad writer does not fully
realize the vastness of the
big glacier field he has en-
tered. He is bound to slip
into many misleading state
ments in order to uphold the
too much assuming buying
prestige of his store.

INTEREST CENTERS
IN MEETING FOR
LOCAL SOLDIERS
To Be Held Tuesday Night
At Commercial Club-Will
Form Branch of World War
Veterans Association.

Considerable interest is being man
ifested in the meeting scheduled for
Tuesday night, April 8, when returned
soldiers, sailors and marines will or
ganize a local branch of tho World
War Veterans association, according
to former service men.
Refreshments will be served, but the
menu has not been made public yet.
1t is understood that efforts were
made to include canned willie" AMI
bareback, but both were definitely put
aside.
The proposed organization will en-
brace all former men of Ada county,
which means that returned soldiers
living at Meridian, Barber kuna, Star
and Eagle will be asked to affiliate
with the local organization and take
out memberships here.
According to tentative plans all re-
turned soldiers, sailors and marines
excepting conscientious DIRECTORS hold
ing honorable discharges will be elig-
ible to membership without reference
as to whether they served in Europe
or the, United States.
Among the returned soldiers and
sailors who are interested in the pro-
posed organization here are Capt. Ed
gar r. Hawley, son of Ex-Governor
James II. IIawley, who served with the
American eXpeditionary forces over
seas, and Jay Parrish, who served
with the naval forces on the Atlantic.
HAWLEY FAVORS MOVEMENT.
In statement issued Saturday Cap
tain Hawley said:
II am strongly in favor of the pro-
posed organization of discharged SOL
diers and hope that there will be a
full representation at the meeting to
be held at the Commercial club on
Tuesday night. Boise is somewhat
behind our sister communities in get,
ting together of returned soldiers and
TO my mind an organization should be
perfected Immediately.
II have had an opportunity of OBJ
serving the work done by returned SOL
diers' organizations in Spokane, PORT
land and Seattle and the efforts of
these organiza lions have been of great
benefit to our Toys who are just ou-
of the srmy If for no other reason
than voting our thanks to the people
of this community for the splendid
manner in which they have welcomed
US home we SHOULD get together.
II hope to see all of the ex-waarers
of khaki out, as there are many things
of Importance for our future good that
should be discussed and disposed Of
Mr.. Parrish issued a statement n
which he Urges all former sailors 70
be present at Tuesday nights meet
ing. He said
II am of the opinion that much
good can come of an organization Of
men who served with the colors on
land and sea, both at home ana
abroad, and l am DESTROYS of seeing a
large number of former navy men out
at Tuesday nights meeting.
There's a lot of US who developed
new ideas while in the service ard
they can only be developed and worKoT
out through means of an organization
made up Of men who have the welfare
of their country at heart"

Advertising

The advertisement is the
mouthpiece of the store. 1t
heralds the news Of the day,
week, month or year. It's
the policy builder of a bust
ness and often becomes a
greater factor than the man
or men at the head of the
institution.
Printers ink-advertise-
ment-is perhaps the most
important part of the great
mercantile machinery of the
world. It's the factor that
will build up or tear down
the strongest institution Of
our land.
Advertising should be
handled with great care
it's the most delicate Of all
Intricate parts Of a business.
Reckless handling of adj
vertiSements is not an I'M
common occurrence in
stores, due, perhaps, largely
to the ineXperience and lack
of knowledge of the ad writ
er regarding the goods that
are being advertised. That's
why there are SO many ex-
aggerated and misleading
statements appearing in ad-
vertisements even in reput-
able store advertisements.
The store is then at fault
not the advertisement.

Buying

Extensive purchases will
save along certain lines.
Quantity buying in other
channels-but it all amounts
to but one thing when sim
mered down to plain facts
buying to suit your trade.
A store doing a quarter of
a million can and usually
does buy its stocks as rea-
sonable as the store doing a
half million or more.
Quantity buying figures in
job lots in but one way
there's small jobs and big
jobs. If the volume Of bust
ness will justify the large job
the store will have more to
select from at the price,
more pieces, but not any
greater variety. This mode
Of buying applies to general
merchandising only.
Women's ready to-wear
lines are in another class and
in order to under buy the
other fellow a store would
be obliged to go into the job
bling business and place or
ders for the entire output of
certain styles made all alike.
After all the smoke and
fire of the advertiser who
does not have his calendar
of facts, the real data on the
line that he is exploiting
amounts to but two things as
a interchangeable and
misleading statements.

SHARPEN YOUR WITS ON THIS
Many VIII Find Time Limit Of Three
Seconds Altogether Too Great
Handicap.

These are the days when the eff
cheney expert Is inviting us to prove
that we measure up to the average in
human intelligence by answering GER
tain complicated questions in a given
number Of seconds. Here is one you
can try on yourself when nobody is
around. Time yourself, and when you
have solved it go and try 1t onssome-
body else, not forgetting to remind
him that you did 1t in three seconds
and that three seconds Is the time
limit.
Outline square on paper and then
divide it into ten triangles each of
which is equal to one ninth of the
total sum or area represented by the
other nine triangles.
Three seconds is the limit, so go to
it. OF course, IL you are timing your
self, you need not be too particular.
A few seconds or minutes over will
not make much difference beyond, in a
few isolated cases, confirming or shat
tering ones own private opinion Of
oneself.

paydreams.

Dreams will at times reveal to US
how little we have forgotten; but the
value of dreams as key to remem-
brance is distorted and diminished by
what seems their lack of selection.
They blend the past with the present,
or with sheer impossibfiity, in such a
hopeless medley.
At their best our dreams seem fam
tastes, based upon the real yet wander
ing from 1t with erratic inconsequence,
Of which the possible meaning eludes
US. And yet dream sometimes will
revive so much, with miracle as Of
resurrection. But it is in cur day
dreams. when reason still retains the
controlling hand, that we most surely
touch the past and daydreams are the
poetry of memory.

Endurance.

Though nation may be bought and

undone, all Is not lost if sense of

his fortune, the character of the man

ton, WILL raise him again out of any
depth of calamity. But If the injured
sufferer, whether it be a great or a
little community. number of individ-
uals or single person, be content to

be uttered, no murmur shall be heard,

thing celestial in the spirit that rises
from that descent.-Junius.

SYMBOL OF BRUTE FERoCITY
In All Ages, the Tiger Has Been
Famed for Its Strength, Daring
and Deep Cunning.

1t is said that the tiger has never
been made the basis of a royal emblem
except by Tippoo the famous sultan of
Mysore. Tippoo himself was as fero-
cious as wild animal and kept near
him mechanical toy representing a
life-sized tiger worrying the body of
British soldier. When the toy was
wound up the tiger growled and the
soldier groaned and Tippoo smiled.
1t may be that the tiger, though the
ideal of brute symmetry and power,
has never attained unto the dignity Of
a royal emblem for the reason that in
every language the word for this ami
NAL is a synonym for stealthy, cruel.
strong-limbed ferocity. Nature has
made the tiger unequaled in the COM
bination of speed, strength, cunning,
daring and physical beauty. A tigers

1t alongside an antelope, and blow

Interesting Speculation Arising From
Discovery Of Ancient GaIIeys
Buried In Norway.

A traveller In Norway has been look
ing at the two ancient ships, In one
Of which. though probably In neither,
Lief Ericsson may have reached the
western world five centuries before
Columbus. Nothing proves that either
of them was Ericsson's galley; moth
ing proves that 1t wasn't. The ancient
pagan custom that buried the craft
of the sea-hero preserved the galleys
away in the soil Of Norway, thanks
to a covering of potter's clay, and a
twentieth century farmer recovered
the second one. The savants looked
1t over. and dated it from the ninth
century, contemporary with the adj
venturous Ericsson, possibly his own
ship. About seventy feet long, the
vessel is shaped not unlike a double
pointed rowboat, fiat and low, with
forked uprights for 10 pairs Of oars,
and the conventional dragon carved on
bow and stern. Under the floor are
the compartments where the voyagers
doubtless stored their provisions. One
can imagine the watcher at the prov,
the helmsman tugging at the tiller, the
galley master high in the poop beat
ing with his great hammer the rhythm
for the thirty oarsmen. Ii is far more
difficult to imagine how they slept and

No More "Lykerstanes."

'Lykerstanes," or stones by the road
side for resting coffins 'on while on
the way to the cemetery, are now
things of the past in Scotland. The
root of the word, which is the old Eng
lish of Anglo-Saxon Sic" means
"a body corpse" These lykerstanes
were the equivalent of the lichgates.
common In rural England.
Many farms bear names after the
famous stones, although the spell
ing is changed somewhat, some being
called "Leckerstone" and "Liquorich."
One stone is still at Falkland, built
into walk and vulgarly known as
'Liquorstone."
Two of the lykerstanes were former.
