lesaba Ore: Is politeness going out
Of style, or are the men of today simp-
~ getting careless9 At all events, it
seems to be a rare exception, rather
than the rule, for men to give up their
seats to women on street cars or buses.
This has been particularly true in the
east for a number of years, but the
practice seems to be growing in the
west, and even Hibbing men seem to be
less chivalrous than in years past. 1t
may be on account of the fact that the
women of today are taking rank with
the men in Industrial and political at.

enough to believe they are still enti-

gentlemen of our ancestors days.
The "bill' or poster, which form
erly was the principal reliance of the
farmer in advertising, is now being
added to more and more by the use Of
proper sized advertising space in the
newspapers. The bills serve their
place, but newspaper advertising makes
for greater advertising efficiency, as
when the number Of buyers reached is
considered the cost is very much the
cheaper. Farmers locally have rccog-
nized the great value in newspaper ad-
vertising when selling their goods at
auction, and are taking advantage Of
the same medium to more or less OK
tent to dispose of the things they have
for sale, other than at auctions. Some
of our non-advcrtisirg merchants
might do well to observe the excellent
results obtained bv the farmers in their
sales. Advertisements in the Herald
