The Newspapers Business
An irate citizen says that hereafter ho
wantB the editora to mind their own
buaineaB My dear Christian triond
did you ever reflect in your contempla
tive moments when the moon ia beaming
when the whippoorwil einga in the tree
when the hired man snores in the loft
the jollovv dog sleeps on tlio lea and the
mofquito gets in his work did you ever
reflect in such times upon the idea that
a paper containing only accounts of the
editors own privnto business would be
apt to prove monotonous to the general
public They might stand it for a
while but in the end it would bo a
thorn in the side and a weariness to the
flesh and all that sort of thing No
brother the truo editors business is to
make everybodys business his busines
Thats business So theres no use in
making a chronic kicker of yourself for
any one NortonKasNews

In looking over the reports from
twenty secretaries of independent chau

to arrive in time if they arrived at all
for their dates on the program This
condition is not the fault of the local

The difficulty lies in trying to maUo
dates with long and often impossible
jumps between

The jumps are short and unless acci
dents occur the talent is always on

ANCIENT BELLS
They Wero Often Quadrangular and
Made of Thin Iron Plates
There are several old bells in Scot
land Ireland and Wales The oldest are
often quadrangular being mnde of
thin Iron plates which have been ham
mered and riveted together At the
monastery of St Gall lu Switzerland
the four sided bell of the Irlshmisskm
ary St Gall who lived In the seventh
century Is still preserved but more
ancient still Is the bell of St Patrick
In Belfast which Is ornamented with
gold and gems and sliver filigree work
The curfew bell Is that about which
most has been written and said It
has been thought that it was only used
In England but It was quite common
on the continent in the middle ages
The ringing of bells by rope Is still
very popular in England especially in
the country where almost every ham
let however small has its church with
Its peal of bells which are often re
markably well rung The first real
peal of bells In England was sent by
Pope Calixtus 111 to Kings college
Cambridge and was for 300 years the
largest peal in England About the
beginning of the year 1500 sets of eight
bells were hung in a few of the large
churches
In the middle of the seventeenth cen
tury a man named White wrote a fa
mous work on bells in which he Intro
duced the system of numbering them
1 2 3 4 etc on slips of paper in dif
ferent orders according to the changes
intended to be rung It Is calculated
that to ring nil the changes upon twenty-four
bells at two strokes a second
would take 117 billion years
One of the most famous bells In the
world is the first great bell of Moscow
which now stands in the middle of a
square in that city and is used as a
chapel This bell was cast in 1733 but
was In the earth for over a hundred
years belli raised In 183G by the Em
peror Nicholas It is nearly twenty
feet high has a circumference of sixty
feet is two feet thick and weighs al
most 200 tons The second Moscow
bell which is the largest bell in the
world that is actually in use weighs
128 tons There are several bells ex
tant which weigh ten tons and over of
which Big Ben the largest bell in Eng
land weighing between thirteen and
fourteen tons is one Big Ben is un
fortunately cracked London Globe
HISTORY ON A TUSK
Picture Made by a Cave Man Millions
of Years Ago
Long ago so long that even a scien
tist would hardly dare venture a guess
as to the date a man clad with only
a wild beasts skin about his loins was
sitting at the mouth of a cave In one
of the rocky highlands in what Is now
southern France He was scratching
with a sharp flint on the fragments
of an ivory tusk perhaps picturing for
some jrouthful admirers adventures
through which he had passed or ani
mals he had slain That ivory chip
was stored away as a treasure to be
lost and forgotten after the cave mans
death One day a man named Lartet
digging in the cavern floor found it
On it was scratched a very fair rep
resentation of the hairy elephant
probably at once the oldest picture
and the oldest human record in ex
istence
We know the cave man was a faith
ful workman for the melting ice fields
of Siberia have yielded a perfect speci
men of this extinct mammal and the
paleolithic picture is a true copy Not
only has this ancient sculptor given us
a sample of the earliest art but he has
left us more valuable than all a his
torical record of his time for this
rude picture is simply a page from the
cave mans history which translated
Into twentieth century English says
Men thinking men were contempo
raneous with the hairy elephant
No record that any of humankind
have ever left is half so ancient as
this The oldest Egyptian papyrus is
a thing of yesterday compared to this
paleolithic sculpture While the cave
man was living in Europe the valley
of the Nile was yet only a wild waste
Egypt was not yet Egypt and civiliza
tion as we know it had scarcely made
a beginning Lippincctts

TALKS ON ADVERTISING
I -In Which We
i Get Acquainted
By Henry Herbert Huff
COPYRIGHT 1909 BY AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
Hello Mr Business Man And how is trade
Improving
Im glad to hear it Oh well have things moving nicely
pretty soon Everybodys optimistic down our way Got nearly
an hour yet in town want to catch that 429 out of here If
youre not busy sit down a few minutes and lets talk things over
Mail order houses bothering any Vs
Yes theyre cutting quite a hole in our trade Thought that
dull spell would fix them but it didnt hero in our town jSTever
believed they were getting so much business till I was shown the
pile of goods from them that arrived on this mornings freight
Some of our best people buying there too Really I cannot un
derstand why any one should send away and wait several weeks
for goods he can buy just as cheaply right here in town
Got any soap clubs here
Yes there are several and it does beat all how those premi
ums take Looks as though one was getting something for noth
ing but he pays for all Of it I can sell the whole assortment for
half their list price and premiums Buy them separate and get
what you want Each of these clubs takes from 100 to 300
worth of business from our town every year
And then theres Near City only twelve miles away and the
fare is 60 cents Many of our people go there to buy clothing mil
linery and the like Often they pay more than in their home
town We merchants had been charging up the bulk of our lost
trade to the mail order houses but found upon investigation that
a large -part is going to -Near City instead With our trade leaking
out in every conceivable Avay it seems up to us to take whats left
Do you have any trouble with leftover goods
Yes we lose a lot that war In summer business goes on
a vacation Most days of the week are pretty slow too except Sat
urday and thats hustle hustle hustle all day long I wish we
might shift some of this days business to the others
Mr Business Man Ive a solution to all of your problems I
can tell you what will hold your trade at home what will move your
slow sellers and remainders what will make business for you in the
dull seasons what will sell ihe new and better goods Its no com
plicated mystery or trick of magic just plain ADVERTISING
I know youll say youve tried it without success or that a com
petitor failed to make it pay or something else but it resolves- itself
into this if you advertise RIGHT it will PAY you if you do so in
the WRONG way it will FAIL Advertising is no childs play its
a science A person of average ab y can write good copy
And now I must be going but 111 be back next week and every
week for several months and I intend to have a little chat with
you each time I shall first show you how advertising will SOLVE
vour problems and then Im going to tell vou how to advertise
