SHOPPERS WANTS.

"I don't have to advertise be- cause everybody knows who l am, where I am, and what ] sell," will never make much more than a living.
 The average shopper does not care who a merchant is, where he is, or what he sells.
 But, the average shopper does care about information as to the cost of what he wants and where to get it without wasting time and stops going from store to store looking fol it. -Ex.

It is noted however, that scholars at picnics still take to it as keenly as any, while arch cry, much as there is to be said for it's gracefulness and test of skill, still requires efforts to keep it alive.

MUCH IS WASTED.

Many merchants are disgust ed with advertising when their efforts are seemingly un- rewarded but they must re- member that the public is not as interested in their proposit- ion as they themselves are. Much advertising is wasted due to the fact that the adver- tiser is not able to place him. self in the prospective readers place and write the advertise ment accordingly. If you give your advertising the time and thought it deserves it will eventually attract the people you are after and will bring returns far in excess of it's cost.
 P. T. Barnum once said: If you have ten dollars to put to good use put one up for the article and the other nine for advertising. I can out-talk any man but a printer. The man who can stick type and talk to several thousand people while l am talking to one is the man that l am afraid of, and want him for my friend"-. =

HORSE SHOES.

It seems as if the game of horse shoes is growing on the American public, judging by :he reports of tournaments in various parts of the country. This form f sport, going back in principle to the discus throwing of the ancient Greeks has never been absent within the period of written history. In early England it was known as quoits, with heavy iron rings used, and this name and the use of rings persists to a considerable degree, but horse shoes appear to be the official style in this country.

MEMORIES.

Memorial Day each year finds a grateful people eager to pay homage to the dead and the living in whose memory and honor the holiday is set apart. Each year reduces still more the blue remnant of a great army that defended unto death a great moral principle. And the shrinking line of blue touches the heart deeply.
 Wars following that of the Rebellion have seen to it that for many years to come there will be Memorial Days in America. The ranks of dark blue have blended with the blue of lighter shade, so famil- far in the Spanish-American war, and these in turn with the khaki of the great World war, assuring a continuance in its present form of Memorial Day observance. But even if it should be that no future wars should furnish martyrs, the gratitude of the American people to their soldier dead will make perpetual an an- nual day in which to pay them tribute.
 Inspiring as is the procession, eloquent as may be the orator, touching as may be the flower ing of veterans graves, these seem wholly inadequate as honors to the departed and the living. These men fought and died in battle and prison camp not that their sacrifices might be the annual occasion of spec tacle and ceremony. Theirs was a nobler mission, a finer purpose. They fought for a principle, for an ideal, which they had a right to expect their heirs would hold safe and secure.
 Gratitude and appreciation are not always best expressed by lips and gestures. What America owes these warriors is more than the suspension of business one day a year, more than applause and cheers when their flag is carried by, more than pensions and bonus, more ! than spoken or written eulogy. A greater part of that debt is in firm and fixed resolution to |

Mr.. King was working for Herberts
father in the blacksmith shop at the
time. 1t was he who went for the doc
tor when Herbert was born. Mr.. King
ate his meals with the Hoover family
West Branch was at that time
town of about 400 population. 1t had
two blacksmith shops, one hotel,
livery stable, four general stores, and
a restaurant. 1t is located in Cedar
County, where broad Quaker hats and
poke bonnets were worn for almost
generation. Cedar county was on the
western edge of the original Black
Hawk Purchase which was the
nucleus of the State of Iowa. Here
farms bordered rougher land Of hill
and ravine.
According to Mr.. King, Hoover was
a respected name in Iowa. The fam
lily originated in Holland, but has been
represented in the United States for
nearly two centuries. Andrew Hoover
and two brothers, about 1740, obtained
land in the uplands Of Maryland. Later
Andrews son, John, joined group OF
Quakers and moved to the Western
Reserve in Ohio.
1t was in 1853 that the son Of John,
Jesse Hoover, Rebecca, his wife, and
Eli, their son, and his three children
moved farther West, helping to found
the town of West Branch. The King
family settled there the same year,
and both families lived in log cabins
for a while, later building better
houses. Buffalo and deer were quite
common In the vicinity at that time,
Herbert Hoover was only six years
only when his father died. His
mother did sewing and other kinds OF
work to support her children. She
also took a prominent part in Quaker
meetings and was invited to speak IN
other towns and cities. After she died
Herbert and the two other children
were cared for by relatives. Herbert
