use of the first event that gave him
opportunity. 1t came about in this
way:
After the holiday rush he had been
left one evening to close the store. He
had put things to rights and closed the
safe upon the proceeds of the days
business and was about to extinguish
the last light when he became con-
scious that he was not alone in the
place. The next moment he felt the
pressure of a revolver barrel upon his
side and heard a firm, hard voice in
struct him to hold up his hands.
AS his next experience he was
marched into the little office and
urged to open the safe. AS he spun
the knob that controlled the combina-
ton he made a rapid survey of his
resources with his mind while he
still fumbled with the numbers of the
lock. He could think of nothing
worth trying until there flashed upon
him the memory of a certain trick by
which he had once overthrow his
adversary in a wrestling match. He
still had the muscle of an athlete and
the short stairway up to the desk
favored his plan. With a lig%htning-Iike
movement he displaced the weapon
and sent his captor backwards down
the stairs. Whirling to defend himself
he was surprised to find no further
attack from the robber and upon
examination he found that with a
broken neck the thief had lost all
power to do further mischief.
Sol thus became quite the neigh
borhood hero. People began to nut q
new estimation upon him. He was
promoted to a position in the factory.
the output of which the store had
been handling. From that, sterling
business qualities carried him TO !
partnership. Today his name is unon
the sign that advertises the business
and there in full. Solomon Samnla is
likely to become the whole piece. All
because he discovered himself and
was found in the emergency fiat

from Solomon to Sol, as an indication,
perhaps, that the full name was too

This suggestion was based upon

and the reliability Of his character
that had given him favor with his en-
ployer, and a certain considerable kind
illness had made him acceptable to the
customers = qualities not common
enough in these days to be despised.
At this New Year time Sol Sample

a new leaf. He shared the desire that

Need Constant Reminding.

Advertising is like gasoline in
your engine. 1t must be supplied
regularly and in sufficient quantity
to assure highest efficiency.
Folks who read your advertise
ment last week have since that time
read lots of other things, ard they
are apt to forget Repetition is a
reminder We all buy advertised
goods.
It is the most natural thing in the
world to do this. The thing that is
advertised must have merit or it
couldn't stand up under the criticism
of the public.
If you have something of value
to offer and you do not let the
public know about it, you must not
blame the people for not knowing it.
II you have a stock of merchandise
to sell, and do not let the public know
about it, you must not blame the
other fellow for getting the lions
share of the business.
It has been well said that a store
may become fairly well known after
a period of years, and its proprietor
may feel justified in declaring
Everybody knows me, | don't have
to advertise"
The merchant, or rather, ctore.
keeper, is poor visioner who
reasons thusly.
New folks are constantly coming
into a town and district They do
not know about you. You are
neglecting the stranger within your
gates when you fail to tell him what
you have to offer him. 1t is the
most natural thing in the world for
the stranger to look for such an ap-
peal, and it is also perfectly natura

for him to respond.
The young folks also have right
to expect something from the local
merchant-they must be educated
about the store and its contents.
There is one way to sell quickly
and turn over your goods frequently
and that is through the newspaper.
Advertising is a creative force, and
power for better business.
Newspapers are the best mediums
Of spreading intelligence. They are
read by all the family. The weekly
newspaper IS the best medium Of all
It goes to the hearts of the people
they swear by it and not at it.
Stand by your local newspaper in
its efforts TO bring new people into
the district-which means more
business for everybody. And the
more the newspaper is supported
naturally the more enterprising vii

Pennsylvania Recognizes Fire
DANGER.

Pennsylvania has awakened to the
fire hazards that surround its people
on every hand. 1t has started an
investigation by the department of
labor and industry of all buildings
in the state used for the purpose of
public assembly, amusement, aims
houses and other institutions where
danger from fire has been report
ed.
Commissioner Neeker says: "The
fact that Pennsylvania has escaped
from great fire disasters during re-
cent years is a miracle. Under the
present law people can be burned to
death in a building that conforms
with the act we are enforcing"
1t would pay the state of
Pennsylvania or any other state to
send its public officials responsible
for safeguarding citizens against
fire, to the headquarters of the
National Board of Fire Under
writer's in New York, and from there
to the Underwriters Laboratories in

ledge from facts and figures, Of the
terrific loss Of life and property that
results in this country annually from
preventable fires.
1t is the fire hazard that sur
rounds American property on every
side that makes it necessary in this
nation to maintain the greatest fire
fighting equipment in the world.
This in turn causes tremendous
tax burdens which could be largely
reduced, if the necessity for fire de-
partments were not so great.
Pennsylvania is taking step in
the proper direction, and it ought to
extend its program to include every
school room, where teaching the
children to be careful with fire
should be part of the regular
curriculum.
Other states will do well to fol-
low Pennsylvania lead.-Ex.

Urges School Houses
Be Made Safe
Industrial Commission Issues Warn
ing Regarding Fire Hazards at
School Houses.

A few weeks ago the whole coun-
try was shocked on learning of the
loss of &c lives in a schoolhouse fire
at Cleveland, South Carolina.
A condemned, two-story frame
building, a crowded assembly hall on
the second floor, one narrow stair
way, no fire escape, flimsy stage
draperies and decorations, a hang
ing lamp Dropping is the story of
criminal carelessness.
Three thousand South Carolinans
paid the last loving tribute" to the
dead.
Who of the 100000 inhabitants
of South Carolina or the one
hundred million inhabitants of the
United States were and are thinking
of the thousands of other fire traps,
called school buildings, and of
means and methods to make them
safe?
Shall this catastrophe go UNDECIDED
as did the Collinwood school fire
with it's IT'S victims and the Peabody
parochial school fire in which 81
pupils persisted?
Is your school house safe? If not,
now is the time to make it so before
next school year begins. Tears and
coroner's inquests accomplish moth
ing along school safety lines.
We urge that Representatives of
parent-teachers' associations, wo-
mems clubs and commercial clubs
go through every school building
with the local fire chief or building
inspector, and if fire and life hazards
are found, that Individually and as
organizations they use their full in
fluence with the municipal authori-
ties to have such hazards removed or
corrected.
Make sure that there are at least
two good and convenient exits from
every upstair room, and from all up
per floors to the ground, that the
stairways and fire escapes are in
good repair, that door, instead of a
window, leads to the fire escape
platform, that all exit doors swing
outward and are equipped with anti
panic hardware instead of ordinary
locks and bolts, that the fire alarm
system is in working order, and
ascertain whether or not fire drills
have been conducted as required by
law.
Many schoolhouse fires start in
easements i'm rubbish or at the heat
ing plant. some in the attic from de-
fective chimneys or poor electric
wiring, too many on poor single
roofs, few in closets and waste
baskets. The remedies are simple
and most sehoolhouse fires and
catastrophies are as ineXcusable as
the one at Cleveland, South Carolina.
Children must attend school. so
make school buildings absolutely
safe

Insect Pests Not So Numerous
This Spring.

Madison-Insect pests got off to a
slow start this spring according to S.
b. Fracker, state entomologist, in his
June report to the United States
Department of Agriculture. Potato
beetles. eutworms and cucumber
beetles have been reported from
only a few sections of the state.
Tent caterpillars and cankerworms
have attracted the most attention,
states the report. The latter have
moved slightly westward and the
heaviest injury occurred from
Madison to Spring Green rather than
in jefferson and Waukesha counties
which suffered the most in 1922.
Several orchards in western Dane
county have been riddled by these
pests.
Grasshoppers are occurring in
slightly greater numbers this year
than last and in about the same
counties in the northeastern section
of the state. Less alarm is felt as
methods Of control by the use OF
poison Iran mash are now better
understood and supplies are on
hand in many locations.
