WORDS.

Keep a guard on your words, my
friends,
For words are wonderful things;
They are sweet like the bees fresh
honey,
Like the bees hat have terrible stings.
They can bless like the cheering sun
shine,
And brighten a lonely life;
They car cut in the strife of anger,
Like an open two-edge knife.
Let them pass through your lips un-
challenged,
If their errand is true and kind;
If they come to support the weary,
To comfort and help the blind.
If a bitter revengeful spirit
Prompts the words, let them be I'M
said;
They may flash through the brain like
lightning,
Or fall on the heart like lead.
Keep them back if they are cold and
cruel,
Under bar, and lock, and seal;
The wounds they make, my friends,
Are always slow to heal.
May peace guard our lives, and ever,
From this time of our early youth
May the words that you daily utter,
Be the beautiful words of truth.

WHY THEY ARE RICH.

The business man who rolls up bank
accounts in bad times as well as in
good times is the business man who
advertises all the time, but harder
and stronger than eve in bad times.
That's because he THINKS.
His thinking tells him that when
times are good everybody has money
and it isn't hard for his ad to reach
as many customers as he needs to buy
his stock of goods-say so out OF ev-
cry hundred people. or so per cent.
But when times are bad, perhaps
only 80 people out of every hundred
spend easily. He knows that where
his average advertisement reached so
spenders Il of the hundred in good
times, in hard times the same adyer-
tisement, with the same reaching
power, will still reach so per cent. of
the spenders, or %, But that's only
half of what he is accustomed to and
needs; now he must have all or nearly
all the so spenders in order to equal
his good times business. So he girds
up his loins, fixes up a bigger ad, a
w%allopingly attractive ad, and If he
doesn't reach all the so spenders, he
comes pretty ear to it.
That is the system of the biggest,
shrewdest advertisers in America.
va, didn't COO tban, o,ttinu THAR ode
this year. You just simply saw them
making their advertisements bigger,
stronger. more intelligently drawing.
That's why they are rich John
Wanamaker, for instance.
And mind this. The figuring and
the principle involved takes no ac-
count of whether the advertising is
done in New York or Smithville. The
figuring is done on percentages of
people. The principle is the same
whether your business has been ac-
eustomed to deal with 1000 people
around you or whether you have been
accustomed to deal with one million
people around you.
If you did a satisfactory business in
a community of 1000 in good times,
you can do a reasonably good business
in poor times. When few people have
money, you must get a greater per.
centage of that few than you got be-
fore of the many. You do it by
Advertising.

ARCADE TODAY

The performance tonight of Drag
Harlan al the Arcade Theatre marks
the close Of the latest of the William
Farnnm star series made in the sched-
ule of William Fox. Apparently moth
ing has been overlooked that could
make this picture intensely interesting.
The action has the delightful tang of
the old days Of the Western Plains
wheh gun-fighting was both an indoor
and an outdoor sport. when good men
end bad ones ''went out with their
boots on; when quick trigger finger
was a mans best life insurance
when pretty girl was treasure that
an men coveted, and gold was some
thing to be battled for. All people who
love to read stories of the West, who
are interested in the tricks of gun
fighting resorted 10 by Americas old
time outlaws and cowpunchers, find
drag Harlan very much to their
liking. ]. Gordon Edwards directed
the production.
