Take a Tip From Old Diogenes By MOSS. n LATO x having a couple of thousand years ago dejell fined man as a JW’J two legged animal without feathers. Diogenes ( the chap who Went around ( in the daytime with a lantern looking for an honest man) plucked a rooster and took it into the academy where the ancient philosophers discussed everything under the sun and said, “This is- Plato’s man.” On which account this addition was made to the definition: “With broad, flat nails.” We all admit that old Diogenes was a pretty smart Greek, with a fine sense of humor. If be lived today he wouldn’t have to use his lantern among daylight newspapers to find an honest advertiser. SUCCESSFUL ADVERTISERS MUST BE HONEST. Dishonesty doesn’t pay in advertising t or in anything else. No daylight paper wants to have anything to do with the space buyer who dellb erately tries to fool the public. But. coming back to Plato’s modified man, the moral of that story is: Be exact. Be specific. Don’t overlook the details. Do you watch the ads, in this paper CAREFULLY enough? Do you keep posted on the details? Do you make it your business to read them with EXACTNESS? DON’T SKIP THE "BROAD. FLAT NAILS."

Gems In Verse ® THANKS. THANK God for thia bright frailty of life, The lyric briefness of its reckless spring. Thank God for all the swift adventuring. The bold uncertainty, the strengthening strife. Thank God the world is set to such a tune, That life is such a proud auM crashing wave; . That none but lifeless things shall be time’s slave, Like the long dead but never tiring moon; That godlike passion strangely leaps and runs; That youth cannot grow old nor beauty stale; That even death is fragile and must fail Before the winds of joy that speed the suns. —Louis Untermeyer.
