'SPA PER
an independent
LIFE
Lite is just what you make
it. It is no mystery save to
the a'mlcss; no rout save to
the fa nt hearted; no hardship
save to the indolent; no sui
fering save to the sinful. The
weak-knees, sleepy-heads, self
seeker t and gratifiers alone
shout ‘Luck.” Wise is he who
recognizes as his day-star a
stout heart, a clean mind, an
earnest purpose and substant
ial habits.

AD^kTiSINGCUTS PRICES
P“r o s who have not given
the f.u’ :t of advertising seri
ous 'hjught may be inclined to
tebcve that standard pro
ducts could be sold cheaper
if he manufacturers did not
spend o much money in ad
\ y1' ' them. The contrary
i3 the truth.
Eve y concern which seeks a
general market Tor its foods
finds it necessary to set aside
a certain sum each year for
advert'r,.ing, and this is chart?
ed a; a part of the operating
expen .es, the same as rent,
fuel or insurance. The aim of
the advertising manager is to
buy the largest possible circu
lation among persons who
would be interested in his
product.
Every manufacturer has cer
tain fixed charges which must
be paid out of the receipts
from the business, and the
larger the volume of business
that can be created the less
per article is charged for the
payment of overhead costs.
This volume of business is ob
tained only by creating a de
mand for the goods, and it is
most quickly done by direct
appeal through the newspap
ers.
The same principle which ob
t" '*i9 in the case of the gene
ral advertiser could be ap
plied in the business of the
smallest merchant. The quick
er the turnover which a deal
er is able to make the sooner
his profit is obtained and the
I ca&h is put in the till for the
new purchases. Advertising of
' the practical kind will help to
make quicker sale and more
I frequent profits. The result is
; that the retailer, with the aid
of the general advertiser, is
able to maintain standard
prices and quality in the wide
i ly advertised articles.

i THE AGE-OLD PASTIME.
Although in the downtown
districts of our cities the side
valks are crowded with
pedestrians, walking has be
ome almost an obsolete pas
time in America. At any rate
few seem to care to walk
where means for riding are at
hand.
We have apparently lost the
feeling of leisure which in
former days was so conducive
to walking. Even in our motor
ng we seem to be possessed
of the idea that we must hur
ry to get somewhere, although
we may have no particular
lestination in mind. An Eng
lishman who even during his
visit to this country spent
nuch time in walking said of
is that the pictures in periodi
:als representing the occu
Dants of automobiles reclining
n luxury and enjoying mag
nificent scenery did not depict
is truly. That is not the way
we cover the miles.
He was greatly amused over
the fact that during his walk
in? tours he was frequently
offered rides by motorists:
'they do not seem to under
stand,” he says, “that a man
i on a walking tour is not in
leed of vehicular conveyance.
They act as if the best thing
about walking is giving it up
and having a ride.”
Obviously the automobile
does not permit of sauntering.
When the road is good, there
comes the irresistible impulse
to make the most of it, which
to nearly all drivers means
anywhere from 35 to 60 miles
an hour. And consequently
there is lacking the opportune
ty for quiet enjoyment of the
passing landscape; and lack
ing too is the inducement for
reflecitiop and restful editation
which walking, either by one’s
| self or with agreeable com
panions, makes almost inev-;
itable. In its own way motor-!
ing has its pleasui’es, and on
the whole they are no less
than thos.e of walking. And
perhaps in the stress of mod
ern life it is only natural that
we should have taken to the
thrill-producing form of exer
cise.

ADVERTISING RATES
An Iowa editor is tired of run
ning free advertisments and
in an ad of his own tells the
world about it as follows:
“Here you will find a schedule
of prices from which no devi
ation will be made, but we
hope to donate a certain per
centage of our earnings toward
founding an asylum for those
feeble-minded people who.be
! lieve an editor has a soft snap.
! “For telling our readers a
■ man is a successful citizen
when everybody knows he is
| a lazy bench warmer, $2.75.
“For referring to some galla
vanting fellow as one who is

missed by the boozers, $10.18.

and a man of courage and one

female as an estimable lady

town would rather see Satan
coming, $8.10.

TURN BACKWARD, O TIME
(A sob story by Noel.)
When John was courting
Mary,
Long years ago, ’tis true
He wooed his little fairy
Like all young lovers do.
He Btood beneath her window
One eve (the moon shone
bright),
When suddenly twas opened,
And there appeared a light,
A hand stole o’er the sill, and
then
He heard the window close,
And, lying at his feet, he saw
A rose
Now John has married Mary,
Some years ago, ’tis true.
He’s found she’s not a fairy
(John learnt a thing or two).
He stood beneath her window,
The door was locked, he’d
found,
When, all at once, a voice
above
Cried: “Late again, you
hound!”
Something ' descended from
above
(A brick, one would sup
pose),
And on John’s brow a nasty
bump
• Arose.
