There are two sides to every ques-

consider or admit but one-urtil the
shoe begins to pinch.
In certain town there was choice
bit of scandal It would have looked
juicy in print.
But the local editor did not use il.
Too many innocent people would have
suffered with the guilty.
A male gossip stopped the editor
on the street and Indignantly de-
manded that he publish the news,
regardless of who it hits
Shortly thereafter member Of the
old gossip's own family became ir-
volved in an unsavory mess.
Did the gossip again demand relent-
less publicity?
He did not. He bustel right int

the facts, ''for the sake of his inne-
cent wife and daughters.

PAYING
FOR FOLLY

Only a few weeks have elapsed
since the Roma collapsed ard snuffed
out the lives of many brave men. Yet
the incident is practically forgotten.
We use the word incident" pur-
posely.
That which affects our pocketvobl $
or our pleasure is vital, ard is remem-
hered.
Most everything else is Incidental,
including the Roma and its III faled
victims.
The government paid Italy a large
sum for the leaky old gas bag, when
we should be building our own dlrig-
lbles and keeping our own people en-
ployed.
That it was defective at the time
of its purchase appears to have been
known, yet Italy got the money! and
We got the bag, and the widows and
orphans of the victims got left
But that, as usual, is only incidental
What we want to impress upon the
minds of the people is the fact that
we should not buy abroad the things
that we should be making in this
country.
We have the money, we have the
materials that go into construction,
We have the man power, and some
where we have the brains necessary
to coordinate them and put them t.
proper use.
We've been crawling long enough
| Let's learn to toddle.

Newspaper Advertising Secures
Volume and Rapid TurnOvers---

Right now-When merchandising is
man game, and merchants compelled to SELL rather
than hand the goods the counter to anxious buyers
is the time to pay particular attention to advertising

margin Of profit we have today
On declining market such exists at the present
time merchandise must move fast store will get into
difficulties The public is asking for lower prices and the
only way store give them lower prices is to increase
it's volume and the number of times it turns it's stock
This can be accomplished in only one way and that
is by adopting the proven method which the big
cessfu merchandsers Of the country in securing vol
ume and rapid ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS advertising.
Newspaper advertising is the cheapest and most eff
tecVe means OF increasing volume Of business The
flow of trade toward your store will steadily increase if
you will but keep the buying public Informed Of your
preparedness to meet it's needs Advertising your To-
cal newspaper will sell the merchandise if literally and
consistently used but careful consideration must be CIV
en- the preparation Of your copy.
Store-news advertising should be just as interesting
and attractive any display page of maiorder cata
log The maiorder house must of necessity have strong
compelling copy in order to sell the goods account of
the great amount of extra trouble the customer put to
in buying by mail With little time and thought any
merchant should be able produce advertising COPY as
compelling as that of the mal-order house. which would
be sure to attract the public to his store.
Let your home newspaper increase your volume of
sales by presenting to the town and country folks reg
ary, interesting and attractive merchandise bullet
ms as those of the mail order houses
Any merchant who will make careful study of the
five leading maiorder catalogs and their supplements
issued is bound to become better advertiser and al
50 better merchandise.

CATCHES BIG LOBSTER
Monster Fish on Display in Window of Moores Fish Market on Church Street-Taken by Captain Hurd.

What is thought to be the largest lobster ever seen in this city, is on display in the window of Moore's fish market on Church street. The big fish was caught off the coast at Noank, Conn, by Captain Charles Hurd, one of the best known lobster fishermen along the sound.
 Captain Hurd weighed the lobster and found that the scales registered 10 and three -fifths pounds. He stated that he has been fishing Holsters for the past 35 years and has never seen any of the size of the one on display in the local fish market. He could not give a guess as to the age of the fish, but said that from the looks of it, it was very old. The claws on it give it the appearance of having had a long life and the general ap- pearance of the monster is one of old age.
 Captain Hurd has 90 lobster pots off Noank, and when he went out 10 get the one on display he found that he had a catch of 65, He was en- thusiastic about the catch, because, as he said there are many fish stories being told about the country, but the one that is believed is the one where the man who is telling 1t can show what he is talking about. The lobster in question will be on display for a number of days.
