Mr.. Advertiser:

Do you realize the Importance of getting your
advertising copy prepared early
You know our old friend procrastination. He's
cousin to the cows tail
Why follow, when YOU can lead
Surprising all your customers left their shopping
in your store until hour before you clos
ing up at night, what would happen You know.
1t woud make much confusion; you couldn't give
service and your customers would leave the store
dissatisfied.
Well, in a way, that's what you often ask the
newspapers to do. You wait until the eleventh
hour to prepare your copy, and when it reaches
the print shop its up the printing force to labor
after supper to get the paper out on time.
The result is, your advertisement is slapped
together in great haste, with chance for errors
and without proper display 1t can't be otherwise.
Stop that old habit of putting off till the last
day, the last hour, the last minute to send your
copy to the Newspaper office.
Get it ont early when you have time to think
and prepare it properly. Then send it to the
newspaper office two or three days ahead
You the logic of it. 1t will mean better
ads better service and BETTER RESULTS.
That's what you want. That's why you adver.
tise. Give the newspaper chance.
Apply the Golden Rule.

THE VICIOUS CIRCLE IN COAL.

A Mr.. Lewis, head of the coal mine
workes, drawing big pay. of course),
has called a parley. He and others
predict an early settlement and salts
factory negotiations between the oper-
ators and strikers. The public has been
left out. That's where it has been and
will remain out of counsel and out of
pocket
If the public let's it go at that, it will
have only itself to blame when the next
shakedown comes, as come it will in
due time. When we say the public we
mean the government.
The industry chronically over-pro-
duces. There are too many mines and
too many miners Therefore, when
production is normal we have too much
coal, which benefits neither the owners
nor the miners. Then we have a cor
rection through the artificial checking
of production by strike. Our coal
piles dwindle. Miners get outside work
or live on their savings. The price of
coal goes up under the benignant in
hlence of the law of supply and de-
maud, which has been let loose for that
purpose, aud the consumer pays for
the support of mine owners who wallow
in luxury and for miners who do not
mine 1t is said there is no patent
remedy for this uncomfortable situa.
ton Then there should be one created,
and by the government. This game of
bleeding the people or let them suffer
is being carried too far altogether.
Parleys predictions, negotiations, and
the like are entirely out of order in mat
tiers so serious to the whole country as
that of coal

COTTON jumped up 49, so bale within
the past ten days, aad the cotton crop
for this year is reported to be one mil
lion bales below the crop of two years
ago. That may be good news for the
cotton growers, but anything but good
for the ragged, half-clothed millions Of
the world. Men manage crops and
prices, and are quite liable to issue false
reports on growing crops for a pur-
pose, that of examining their pocket
books with filthy dollars. Thus naked
children are at the mercy of spectators
and price fixers.

She was walking along one Of those
streets In Harlem where the buildings
seem to form a canyon, where the ave-

is no vista to rest the eye.

Annie Laurie had come quite close

keen blue eyes and two pleasant

at her casually and that when he did
she felt the blood color her face.

Annie Laurie started. She realized
she had stopped longer than she need
before this window, and she blushed
and looked down at her glove, which
was quite white at the finger tips

USE THE BIG STICK, Mr.. PRESIDENT
Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
The country is drifting toward disas
ter. The coal situation has become
such that unless production is restored
this month manufacture and transpor-
tation will be aeutely affected. wide
spread and drastic shut downs of fac
tories and reduction of transportation
facilities will be forced, with workmen
turned out of employment. If the coal
strike continues much longer a restora-
tion of full production will be too late
TO save business and the people from a
shortage which will blast reviying com
merce and bring deprivation and suffer.
ing to the public.
At the same time, the refusal Of the
railway executives to accept the Presi-
dents plan of compromise does worse
than produce a deadlock. 1t threatens
to spread the strike to the brotherhoods
which would result in a general paralysis
Of transportation, and that would mean
a paralysis of the whole country.
These strikes combined create an
emergency which justiies and demands
drastic action by the government for
the public defense. The vital interests
Of nation of one hundred millior can
not be sacrificed in q controversy over
wages and conditions in an essential
industry.
The President has recognized this in
a tentative way. He has expressed
himself on certain of the issues involved.
He has set his departments AZ work on
rationing plans. He has formulated
and offered compromise for peace in
the shipments strike. In short he has

in the open window ledge.
She let the water drip over her
bulb and heard an irritated voice as
cend from the regions below: But T

Annie Laurie peered down, and the
voice peered up, until she found her
self looking into the very blue eyes
Of the man she had passed.
"Oh, it's you'll" she gasped.
Then overcome at the betrayal Of
her words, she pulled In her head,

When, five minutes later, a breath

eyes presented her with a stubby brown

That was all.

cluded all other conversation. You
