A storekeeper who permits dust and cobwebs
to litter his store windows is no more wasteful than
he who uses space in a live, progressive newspaper
merely to repeat a few. hackneyed phrases in con
nection with his name and address.
The newspaper is the live merchant's most
valuable display window. In it he should take care
to exhibit by pictures and word painting hit newest
and most attractive stock.
There are always plenty of things that every
merchant can utilize to create and further, the im
pression that he is strictly up-to-date; one of his
most valuable assets.
Timely advertising inspires confidence in the
readers of a newspaper that the merchant is wide
awake and ready to meet all emergencies.
It is not uncommon to see in provincial news
papers such absurd instances of untimeliness and
public announcements of unprogressiveness as Ice
Cream Freezers advertised in January or Heating
Stoves in July.
Yet to be timely does not necessarily mean to
make definite plans on the spur of the moment.
Successful general advertisers forecast conditions,
according to the seasons of the year and the general
trend of events, and make plans months ahead.
The retailer should act on the same lines.
Such a procedure yields much more satisfac
tory results than a patch-work campaign, constructed
from day to day in hit-or-miss fashion.
. Should the merchant wish to take advantage
of some unusual event, it is very easy to substitute
a piece of timely copy in harmony with what has
appeared and what is to follow. -
Timeliness involves an accurate insight into
the trend of public opinion. But the public mind is
fickle and in taking advantage of prevalent condi
tions, the unnecessary incurring of prejudice must
be guarded against.
See if your advertisement is in harmony with
the times, the season and the day.

Cattle and Hog Receipts Fall Below
Record of Last January.
COMMENT ON PAVING CONTRACT
Jerry Howard Calls a, Ma Martina;
and Tells Ilia Trouble Concern
in the Koath Omaha
Charier Bill.
The laat market day of the month of Jan.
tiary did not materially change the pre
vious day'a figures. The total for the month
In hogs arid cattle does not compare favor
ably with the -same month of the preceding
year. 'The receipts this month were 86,773,
rattle and 241,764 hogs and 122.801 sheep. In
January, 1908, the receipts were 93.672 cat
tle, S06.S01 nogs and 114.378 sheep. The de
creaaa 1b cattle was 6 898 head. The de
crease In hogs was 64,137 head. Tho re
ceipts of sheep increased 8,4-5 head. The'
showing la particularly bad In cattle, being
the lowest slnca 1906. While the decrease in
lioga Is greater In figures, It Is the best
ormal record of the Eouth Omaha market.
The receipts of hogs In January, 19fl8, came
with a rush, bringing not only the usual
January supply, but a large number which
had been held during December and No
vember, fighting against the falling prices.
All that month the prices were dropping
lower and lower. It waa a panicky time
and the ahippars had held as long as they
rould. This month of 1909 has been differ
ent. The demand has been great and tiie
market good, with high prices prevailing
for all kinds of stock.
Comment on Farias; Contract.
The confusion which exists In South
Oml1 a over paving matters and an Index
of the feeling, of a certain class of tax
payers la .forcibly shown In the following
letter by U A. Uyers:
A great deal of comment la heard ' on
11 aides concerning the action of the
city council, which promised a business
like administration and a square deal.
Homo of the views of our city council
eem to have changed since they look
their oath of office concerning what a
auaro deal conalsts.
Bids were reclved January 15 for the
paving or went I, street. Hugh Murphy
being the low bidder at 11.80 per square
yarn or i-orreyvine block. Twenty-firth
atreet coat the city $1.97 per yard for
forlngton block. West Q street coat
. 13.11, East U street was contracted tor
at 13.18 for PuHngton combination block,
controlled and operated by Charles Fan
ning of Omaha and the National Con
struction company of South Omaha.
At his bid of 11.80 per yard for the antl
combination block, known aa Coffeyville
block, Hugh Murphy would have saved
the city by competitive bidding $it.000,
Including all of these recent contracts
mentioned. While the difference In the
bids of the National Construction com-
?any and that of Hugh Murphy appear
o be only 13.90 In this contract, it Is a
saving of SS cents per square yard In
comparison to West Q atreet.
The proposed Coffeyville block for West
L street, aa shown bv the test made un
1r the supervision of Andrew Rosrwater,
city engineer of Omaha. In the presence
of th mayor and city engineer of South
Omaha, la auperlor by 1.1 per cent to the
Purlr.gton block.
In the face of all this, some of the "city
rfads" still contend that it Is to the best
Interest of the city and the taxpayers not
to experiment with a new block, although
?roven to be a far auperlor block In quality,
t la used In Fremont, St. Louis and Kan
sas City, showing the block to be no new
product or experiment, as some of our
worthy councilmen seem to think. By
doing otherwise than awarding this con
tract to the loweat bidder they are en
couraging and promoting- a combination to
hold ihs high hand and have a monopoly
of the paving In the city.
If the city council feels Justified In award
Ing the contract for West L, street and
Kast Q street, at a greater cost for In
ferior material, to the National Construe?
ion company. It eeems to be Incurring
xtra expense to go through the formali
ties of drafting ordinances, advertising and
inviting bids. They might as well con
tract for any future paving for a scoiv
of yesrs St any price the combination may
demand.
Jerry Tells His Troubles.
"Venl. vtdl, vlcl" was not the greeting
. of Jerry Howard to the assembled faithful
at the city hall laat flight. This motto had
nothing to do with his philntlve appeal: It
was, "I went, I waa not acen, I got tanned.
Tanner's amendments sre a piece of Job-
i Wr
it was to convey thU. Vit of information
that Jerry called his mass meeting at the
city hall laat night. A good crowd was out.
Jerry had sent personal Invitation by letter
to all the city officials. Several of them
responded by being present.
jerry refused to bs sidetracked from the
main Iraues, the' double shift, the street
car paving proposition and .the .fire and
police bill. All of these he said had been
tampered with after the amendments left
Omaha.
Ills presenting of this subject precipitated
a hot debate In which plentiful use of em
phatic adjectives appeared. )
After the vavious citizens had had their
turn at speaking a resolution was. passed
which supported the senate file in the
hands of J. M. Tanner with the following
amendments: Thst the city engineer's
office be appointive; that the firemen and
policemen be granted a raise In pay from
the present scale to $80 for patrolmen, 390
for captains, $100 for assistant chief and
(125 for the chief. This was in lieu of Jerry's
scheme for a double shift. Jerry agreed to
the proposed resolution reluctantly. -
Further, a street cleaning fund of $6,000
was created, provided that not more than
$j00 be expended In any one month. In
the qualifications of the proposed board of
fire and police commissioners the restriction
on tobacco dealers and Insurance men waa
removed. The bill therefore will bar only
saloon Keepers, brewers, renters or owners
of saloons and saloon buildings, pool hall
proprietors, managers of dance halls or
theaters and people connected directly with
these places of amusement.

ing doors, H. A. GUmartln, a reporter, and

in the furniture company so that they
might hear any conversation between
Warden Armstrong and himself. Green
said he met the warden by appointment
and that they went at once to the room
where the two witnesses had been posted.
The warden maintained silence. Green
says, when he asked him what he would
take for his vote and his Influence with
the board.
Then, said Green, he suggested to the
warden that they each write down a figure
on paper and see how closely they agreed.
Green said ' that he himself wrote down
$5,000 while hn alleges Warden Annstronu
wrote "6 M and $aj per month fur Hue
