An exchange presents the matter of advertising as the following proposition: The cost of advertising is a secondary consideration. What Is the difference as long as the advertiser can make money at it? He does not hesitate to buy a box of silks at a fancy price if he can make a good' profit by the transaction. That is the key to business—profit. If advrtising brings trade and profit, then advertise. Successful men advertise because it is to their interest to do so. "Ha! here comes Ratcliffe with a dagger. My last moment has arrived," exclaims one of the characters in a new melodrama. Unfortunately, however, the acor representing Ratclffe had forgotten the dagger and came on the stage without it. But he was equal to the occasion. “Villain,” he exclaimed, “thou thought’st thou saw a dagger in mine hand. 'Twas thine evil conscience supplied the vision. But I will slay thee with a blow of this strong right hand,” which he proceeded to do.

BASEBALL BILL IS ADVANCED Passed to Engrossment by the Senate Today. Indianapolis, March 5. —Among the number of bills advanced to engrossment by the senate without discussion this morning was the Brolley Sunday base ball bill. The senate also took up the Woodfill public depository bill, which was passed to engrossment. The house this morning took up the much discussed cities and towns bill, for a general discussion. E. J. Moser made a business trip to Berne today. Fred Seivers made a business trip to Monroe today. Louis Keller made a business trip to Monroe today. Jesse Sutton and son were business callers at Geneva today. Emil Franz of Berne, was attending to legal matters in our city today. Judge R. K. Erwin was attending to legal matters at Bluffton today. Gay & Zwick shipped a consignment of furniture to Honduras today. The city council will meet in regular session this evening at the Library. Father Bensiger arrived today from Hesse Castle, and is the guest of Father Wilken. Menno Leichty, the promoter of the new bank at Monroe, was here looking after business today. Alonzo Runyon returned to Linn Grove today. While here he was attending to legal matters. Abe Boch was attending to business pertaining to the Decatur Horse Sale Company at Fort Recovery today. The residence of George Krick in the Fullenkamp addition, caught fire from sparks originating from the Vail factory fire, but was put out before any serious damake was done. The loss is slight. Simon Moore, an employe of the Schafer Hardware Co., was arrested this morning by Marshal Green, charged with running a threshing machine engine over the curbing on First street and breaking the same. Moore plead guilty to the charge and was assessed a fine of a dollar and costs, which he paid and was discharged. The curbing was damaged to such an extent that it will have to be taken out and a new section put in. A man asked us the other day if farming pays. Os course, it pays, or it would not have been carried on from the beginning of the world. But it does not pay with all men, and the number that do not make it pay is not very large. If farming is to pay the conditions must be favorable just as they must be for any other enterprise. There is no kind of occupation that will pay if badly handled, some of the greatest money-making enterprises in the world would have proved of no benefit to the men who went into them half prepared to succeed. « W F. Gottschalk of Terre Haute, state commander of _ the Sons of Veterans, has issued an order for the, holding of the annual encampment at Bluffton June 4, 5 and 6. There are a number of members of the organization in this county, County Recorder George F. Ogden of Laketon. formerly being state commander. They are preparing to attend this gathering. A feature of the encampment will be a sham battle between the Elwood and Hartford City reserves. During the three days there will be elaborate exercises and the affair will be made a big success. —Wabash Plain 1 Dealer. It’s a standing joke that the secret of the car shortage is a shortage of cars, but the freight agent of one of the railroads says that the shortage is due to the enactment of the law I requiring all cars to be equipped with automatic couplers and air brakes. This law’ was passed in 1900, but its enforcement was put off from year to year until 1906, to give the railroads time to equip the cars accordingly. Many freight cars were fit for service, but not worth the extra expense of equipping with couplers and I brakes, and were therefore destroyed. This is given as the reason for the car shortage. A meeting of managers of independent semi-professional base ball clubs of the state was held in Indianapolis Sunday. The Indiana Trolley Base Ball league was organized to play Sunday games during the coming summer. Four clubs were represented in the organization —the Reserves and Capital City of Indianapolis, Anderson and Fort Wayne. Two more towns will be taken in, making a six club circuit. Another meeting will be held in two weeks, at which the circuit will be completed, forI feits posted and a playing schedule adopted. It is understood the “ShamI recks” will represent Fort Wayne. — .

The burial association bill providing for the organization of burial associations, which failed for lack of a constitutional majority several days ago, came up in the senate again Saturday afternoon. Senator Bland opposed the bill. Hugg and Kittinger supported it. Senator Wickwire opposed the bill on the ground that it took money from the poorer people, not more than 331-3 per cent of which was paid back. The bill again failed to pass. The following provisions have been placed in the law in conenction with the railway mail clerks' salaries: “That the postmaster general may allow a clerk who is sick leave of absence with pay, his duties to be performed without expense to the government during the period for which he is granted leave, not exceeding 30 days in say fiscal year. That railway mail clerks on entering the service shall receive the salary of the lowest grade, and no clerk shall be advanced more than S2OO in any period of one year's service.” An English actbr of some prominence was dining with some friends in this country. One of them asked him if he had found any American plays that he thought he could use in England. “Oh, yes,” he replied. “I have seen one or two that I fawncy wil obtain favor on the other side. Tn fact, I have entered into negotiations for severs’! One that appeals to me strong) yis a play ca'l’a ‘Ten Evenings in a Public House,' where I shal play John Morgan, and another is namel Uncle Thomas’s Resiience,' which has a fine part for me in Marks, the barrister.”

There are few editors in our state who have not made a vigorous and continuous fight against the ci.y mail order house. This has been done in the interest of the home merchant, and without money and without price. If the editors of the land had received regular advertising rates for all they have said against these enemies of the country merchants they could now be wearing diamonds. Now the department store man appreciates advertising space and is willing to take all the average country editor has for sale, and at a good price. What other class of business or professional men would reftfse business to help their friends especilly as many of said friends never seem in the least disposed to return the compliment or even appreciate it. The Monroeville Breeze gives publicity to this interesting edict: Mr. Roy Crane, who has been filling the position as night operator for the Monroeville Home Telephone company in this city for the past several months, tendered his resignation last night as such operator. His place has been filled by Miss Viola Rowan, of Ft. Wayne, who enters upon her duties this Thursdday evening. 1 nder the change the company has adopted new rules which undoubtedly will be a benefit and result in better service to the patrons in the future. One of the rules is to the effect that aftei 9 o'clock each evening the office shall be closed and no person other than the operator will be allowed in the rcom until the next morning; thus the spooning of the operators and other persons over the lines has been cut out.

He left me last July and w’ent to Somerset county, Pa. He wrote me he was going te Ohio. He sold recipes, the main one being a chicken cholera recipe. Not to be egotistic of his parentage will say that our family was second to none in Lebanon county, Pa. His father was 91 years old when he died. In 1862 he was U. S. 10th district assessor of Lebanon and Schuylkill counties. We have six generations buried in one graveyard (the Bindnagles). In 1862, J. J. was one of the assistant assessors and had three townships to canvass and assess, so you can see the contrast of then and nowv 1 wanted him to stay near .shy place or with me, but no, he would roam or rove the world over. His body was received on Sunday, Feb. 24, at 1:35 p. m. and viewed at 2 p. m. We found him in very good condition, thanking the coroner and undertaker for the prompt and nice way they sent him, as fine as if I would have come out to be present. In behalf of my brother Joseph and three sisters we extend our thanks to you. Thanking you again, I am yours truly, E. R. EARLY. < o DEMORCAT Want Ads Pay Big.
