Of all forms of advertising there is nothing equal to ami attractive display ad in the local paper to pro duce the desired results. Many a business man has tried eVery oth er plan of advertising only to re cognize at last that a paper read by the community is the best form of tolling the public what one has to offer. At one time* signs, big and little, erected .in almost every con ceivable place, were largely used, but their principal effect was to dis figure the landscape. The ad in the local paper possesses every .advan tage that other forms of advertis ing have and many more that they cannot possibly possess; It is not read when people are whirling thru space in an auto or speeding along in a railway car, but at one's leis ure in one's own home. It is* read I by nearly, everybody and its form jean be as frequently changed as I one may desire. There is a right i way and a wrong way to advertise, a - in most other lines.

Your Account is Respect fully Solicited -FIND SAFETY IN PRISON CELL Many Instances on Record Whera Criminal* Have Taken Refuge In Jail* and Penitentlariee. The recant escape of a patient from the Poughkoep?le Insane asylum. fob i lowed by hie bogging to be taken back (ie.cuuH<i New. York waa "too nolny," la no droller than many kindred Instances that have CQB)e to the attention of in? stltutlon authorities in the past. It la* a well-known fact that inmates of the state prisons often aak to bo allowed to remain permanently where they have served a number of yeara sen tence. They declare that it ia actually more like home to them than any oth er place in the world where they hare been. Ah the authorities have no pow er to continue themae prisoners at the expense of the state the released con victa will often commit another crime in order that they may be reaentenced to a stay in their former prlaon home. It sometime* happena that criminal* wanted for an offense that bid* fair to lead to their capture and a long priaon term will deliberately break a law that will lead only to a light sen tence. They do thia at aome distant point and elude the detective* search' Ing everywhere but in prieon for them. They have been known to enlist under false names In the army or navy, much as they deteat the strict discipline to which they must conform. They argue they are safer In the army for three years than being shadowed constantly by detefctlves. Others who often feel they are Bafer in custody are "squealers" who fear the knife or bullet of the "gang" out side. ThiB wae plainly shown in the Kosenthal-Becker murder case, when Rose and Weber and Schepps trembled lest the accused gunmen's friends should be able to reach them and carry out revenge threats. No Sense In Either. Two men entered a train at a small station out west and took seats facing an elderly gentleman. They fell to telling hunting stories with great ani mation and many oaths. Noticing that the old gentleman was an interested listener, one of the men spoke to him and asked whether he, too, were not a hunter, with a atory or two worth hearing. . - : The old gentleman thought he could tell one, and this is what he said: "One day I thought I would go hunt ing; so I took my tin-pan, tinder-box gun and went up into a tin-pan tinder box woods on the side of a tin-pan tin der-box mountain, and I waited a tin pan tinder-box long time; and then I saw a tin-pan tinder box fine buck com ing toward ine, so I put my old tin-pan tinder-box gun to my Bhoulder and fired. And that tin-pan tinder-box buck fell right in its tin-paa tinder-box tracks; and It was the finest tin-pan tinder-box buck I ever killed." After a pause, he said: "How do you like my story?" "Oh, tho story Is all right, but I don't see what all that 'tin-pan tinder-box' has to do with it." "Well," replied tho old gentleman, ?"that Is just my way of swearing." "1 don't see much sense in swearing that way," said tho otl/er, with mani fest disgust. To which tho old gentleman respond ed, "There is as much sense in my way of swearing as there is in yours, young man." ? Youth's Companion. Calendar In One Sentence. How often in the course of a^year does a man who has no calendar near at hand ask himself the question, On what day of the week does such and such a date fall? A perusal of the following sentence will soon convince him how he may know all ho needs with very little trouble: "Said I, 1 dwelt for fifteen weeks in London with a robber." Each word represents a month in order. Thus, "said" stands for Janu ary and ?'robber" for December. The number of letters in the word gives tho date on which the first Saturday in the month represented occurs. .Take, for instance, June 11. 1913. June being the sixth month is repre sented by the word "fifteen," which has seven letters, indicating June 7 as being the first Saturday. Then seventh and seven days gives the 14th as being the second Saturday of the month. Having thus seen on which day of the week the month begins the rest is easy. ? Stray Stories. Never-Settled Questions. The familiar saying that nothing Is settled until it is sottled right express- j OS only a half-truth. Questions of gen- } eral and permanent importance are seldom finally settled. A very wise man has said that "short of tho multl- i plication table there is no truth-and no j fact which must not be proved over ? again as if it had nover be?en proved, from time to time." Conceptions of so- : cial rights and obligations and the in stitutions based upon them continue unquestioned for long periods as postu lates in all discussions upon questions of government. Whatever conduct con forms to them is assumed to be right. Whatever is at variance with them is assumed to be wrong. Then a time comee when with apparent suddenness the ground of discussion shifts and the postulates are denied. They cease to ; accepted without proof, and the . whole controversy In which they were originally established is fought over again. ? Senator Root, lu North Amor- ' ! lean Review.
