Showed green as chrysoprase.

And sweet. remembered words.

A great gem flashed and fell:

! Pulling

- BY Christopher

Ut IS the custom of a certain rail.
way engineer to have his boy
Il with him now and then In the en-
CINE cab. The youngster states that
he has "ringed the bell and blown the
whistle" but that he has no yet
pulled the throttle"
This seems to be the matter with a
good many older ones Of the present
generation. and IT may explain their
lack of progress. They have rung the
bell and they have blown the whistle.
but they have neglected 10 open the
throttle.
That invisible force that Ia In us all
responds wonderfully when we call
upon IT. but Is only a useless and d.
minishing energy until we do. Bell
and whistle may advertise that we
have steam up, but they cannot get
US along. They may both be active
while we are really slowing up, like
the train that approaches q stop.
The station may be a permanence
for us when we could 90 q good deal
farther. we may arrive az a dead line
In life while yet young. because we
have shut the throttle instead OF open

WHY PITCHERS PREFER
EVANS BEHIND PLATE

Hesitancy on the part of UNI
pires to call a third strike
caused many of the wrangles
the past season. An umpire
hates TO call the third one, and
unless q pitcher cuts the plate
he 4riNks9H tia tke ax
calling 1t a ball.
Pitchers rarely cut the plate.
They work for the corners. The
umpire gives them the corner
until the batsman has two
strikes. and then the umpire
calls the same corner ball bad.
Bill Evans gives the pitcher
the corner after he has two
strikes on a batter, and for this
reason pitchers would sooner
see Evans behind the plate than
any man In the league.

about Roy Sooville, the young

The deceased was the only son
of Mr.. and NIfs. w. \. Scoville
and last year graduated from the
Sue Bennett Memorial School
and during the past year has
continued the study OF college
subjects. For the past two or
three years he has been manager
OF the Louisville Ice Cream Co.,
and has been quite successful
and considered one Of the most
promising young business men
of the town. His cheerful dspo-
sition, having always a smile Tor
whomever he met, won every
tody as his friend, and the grief
for his tragic death is universal,
as is the sympathy for his dis
tracted parents.

Making an Asset of
Difficulties

A great opportunity is now. before
American business-the opportunity sof
making big and permanent asset out OF
the very difficulties of the present situa-
ton, The conviction that this can be
done is extremely heartening. 1t is
enough to- put new thrill of live and
activity into every form Of industry.
From one point of view the present sit
uation is by far the most desirable. the
soundest, the sanest. and the most hope
full this country has ever seen. Why?
Because it brings into bold relief. thru
sheer necessity, the latent power to Gre
ate conditions as we would like to have
them.
The curtailment of Demand for the
products of industry brought us face to
face with the question, as to what causes
demand. Then it was discovered that
Demand was created thing, and that
more of it could be created in almost any
direction-if enough of the right effort
were applied.

~ Chief among tie means Ssfeating
Demand IS ftsa Seen to be Advertising
Wherever you find a big demand for any
product you find invariably that the de-
mand for that product has been stimuat-
ed by human effort, and chiefly through
advertising.
1t is obvious to any one who will think
it through that the present demand for
any product could be substantially les
sened if it were possible to eliminate all
forms of MISUNDERSTANDING pictures.
displays. and word of mouth as we'll as
printed and painted messages-and just
let that product depend on the natural or
unstimulated demand.
And it is equally obvious that a demand
for any worthy product can be created
and stimulated by means of Advertising
This fact puts within the hands of the
business man the means of creating his
own market That would be the biggest
asset he could have-an assured market
for all he could produce.
