Petro@rad, Russia-FIope that some
day the capital Of Russia will be
transferred back to Petrograd Is buoy
ing up the spirits of many residents
Of this ghostlike city that Peter the
Great built to serve as the center of
Russias power. Petrogradites base
their hopes that this will occur on the
fact that Petrograd was built for gov
eminent purposes and is far more
fitted to house government Offices
than overcrowded Moscow.
If the time does come that the Boil

tack from outside, Petrograd resi-
dents say, the government inevitably
must return to the city that offers 1t
comfortable quarters and immediate
proximity. by land and sea, to western
Europe.
Shrewd citizens are now buying Pc
trograd property and holding 1t
against the day when the now almost
depopulated city will again be the
crowded capital.

THE RIGHT THING
at the
RIGHT TIME
WHERE NOT TO GOSSIP
BINARY MARSHALL DUFFEE

GOSSIP is, of course, despicable.
We are brought up to know that.
But just the same, we all gossip.
Those of us who are well bred, or live
up to our breeding, don't gossip.
Those of us who act in an ill-bred
manner, whether or not we are ILL
bred, do gossip maliciously. That is
about all there Is to 1t.
So If most Of us are bound to Cos
sip-that Is, to pass along interesting
bits of news about out friends land
neighb0rS-let us be careful where we
gossip. And word In defense of
gossip. Really the news in the news
papers, and the contents of books of
memoirs and biography are nothing
more or less than gossip. So long as
our gossip is not malicious, it need not
be entirely condemned, for there IL
deep-seated desire In man to gather
and pass on news of all kinds.
One place not to gossip-and that
B over the telephone Don't ever
talk about your neighbors by phone,
because of the chance that somebody
else might be listening-even if what
you are saying is entirely pleasant.
Don't gossip in a train or trolley
car. 1t Is necessary to raise the voice
to make it heard In train or car.
and others might overhear what you
say. Again, though that might be en-
tirely pleasant, you would not want to
be quoted by someone who overheard
you.
Don't gossip on postal card. Don't
gossip with servants. Don't gossip
with children. Don't gossip across the
back fence. Indeed, the whole thing
comes down to this: II you must Cos
sip-and most of us do-gossIp In the
place and time conventionally given
over to conversation.

TICKLES STEER; IN HOSPITAL
Man Receives Broken Shoulder and
Ribs as Well as Other Injuries
Because Of PIayfulness.

Austin, Minn.-William Harter, a To-
cal pearl hunter, is carrying his left
arm In sling. He Is also suffering
from a broken shoulder bone, piece
Of the bone being severed, three broken
ribs and several tendons and muscles
torn, mutilated and bruised, all be-
cause he tickled a steers ear.
While passing through a pasture
Harter stopped down and scratched
the animal behind the ear and then
walked on. He had not gone two
steps before he was hoisted high into
the air and fell close to barb-wire
fence, under which he quickly rolled.
Harter says the steer was always
ss.iendly when he crossed the pasture
IN former occasions.

A Timely Suggestion

This is the season of the year when

to be needed before the winter is over
and results are much more prompt
and satisfactory when it is kept at
hand andgiven as soon as the first in :.

it has become settled in the system
There is no danger in giving it to chill
dren as it contains no opium or other
harmful drug.-Advertisement

Millions and Advertising

Extraordinary precautions are TAX
en- by the police to guard John u.
Rockefeller, Jr., even when he starts
out to attend his famous Bible class.
Indeed every now and then the de-
tectives are compelled to invade the
church TO protect the young man
from possible violence. To thousands
of persons the name Rockefeller is
infammatory. The constructive char
tiles, the civic helpfulness of this
family are lost to light in the great
er vision of money grabbing octo-
pus that for years has been planted
in the back of popular Imagination.
Truly the millions of the oil king
have brought more terror than hap
piness, alb of which condition is
largely due to the exclusiveness with
which the elder Rockefeller lived for
years. To the public Rockefeller
was not a personality. He was an
institution. He forbade contact with
his fellow beings. His photograph
was never seen. He never sSoke
TO the people or for the people
through the only means of COM
mupication, the newspaper. He held
aloof and became hated and despised.
1t was not until some thoughtful
person impressed the old man with
the value of advertising that the bars
were let down and the people permit
ted to know something of the Rookie
feller life and activities, and then
some of the people began to under
stand. But even so the old man
started too late ever to reap reward
for whatever of constructive work
he may have done. Indeed it is
doubtful if his son will see the days
of honor that to some extent at
least may be his due. Truly the
sins of the father are visited on the
children even to the third and fourth
generation. Never has there been
more striking lesson in advertising
the gradual change of the public
mind toward the Rockefellers since
they tore the mask of secrecy from
their lives. The happiness, yes, even
the life of the millionaire, today is
dependent on the power Of adver-
tising.

AN old HORSE
BROUGHT FORTUNE
Four Legged Pullman Outfit was
Traded For a Whole Section
OF Land.
OIL WAS FOUND
ON THE LAND
Place Now the Center of the Great
Humble Oil Field Which Has
Produced Millions.

Houston, TeXas-A few years ago
an old man was driving a decrepit
horse and a ramshackle buggy
through some swampy, rough coun-
try near Houston. He met a man
who squared himself in the road so
the rig could not pass, and began to
laugh. When asked what he was
laughing about he said he wondered
why the man in the buggy didn't
get out and let the horse ride a
while-he looked as if he needed it!
This made the old man angry, so
to square things with him the man
in the road said, "Now look here,
pardner, | was only making fun of
your rig because | thought of buying
it. Tell you what I'll do-Pll give
you whole section of land lying
right back there (pointing over his
shoulder) for your four legged Pull
man outfit
The man in the buggy was a good
sportsman and possessed a sense of
humor. Smiling, he said, "Your're
on, old top. Climb in-the hoss is
yourn"
They drove into Houston and a
deed for the GAO acres of land was
made over TO the owner of the horse
and buggy, who had not seen the
land. A few weeks later he went out
to look it over. 1t was swamps and
mosquitoes. He was so disgusted
that he tried to get the man to bring
back his old horse and take back his
land, but there was nothing doing.
He knew a good bargain when he had
made one, so he refused to take back
the land.
That GAO acres of land is the very
center of the great Humble oil field
which has produced hundreds of mill
lions Of dollars worth of oil and is
still going strong. That old worn-out
horse and squeaky buggy brought
at least two hundred million dollars
which, so far as is known, is the
highest price ever realized on a
four legged animal and a four wheel
ed vehicle.-Westem Oil Derrick.

Man Worth 9S Cents

A woman employee of a paper
manufacturing company, tired of
hearing men boast of their import
ance, dug up the fact that, accord
ing to scientific investigation the in
gradients of a man, plus water, are
as follows:
Fat enough for seven bars Of soap.
Iron enough for a medium sized
nail.
Sugar enough to fill shaker.
Lime enough to whitewash a chick
er coop.
Phosphorus enough to make twen-
ty two hundred match tips.
Magnesium enough for a dose of
magnesia.
Potassium enough TO explode a toy
cannon.
Sulphur enough to rid a dog Of

cents, and that in a day when things
are three times as high as they used
