The Montavilla Board of Trado has taken steps to have one side of East Gllsan street paved between East Six tieth and East Eighty-second streets as soon as It can be done. At the meet Ins; of the club Thursday night a Urge committee was appointed to take up the matter with the City Engineer and street committee. In view of the fact that sewers for the Montavilla district may not be laid this year the plan to pave one side of East Gllsan street has been adopted in order to have that much hard-surface Improvement in the district. The other side will be left unimproved for sewers and other utill ties.

The newspaper is more potent than ever, because its readers demand from it more things of interest every day and because its distribution is more quickly obtained. In all jaiTts of the United States newspapers nowadays employ rapid methods of get ting into circulation. And the fast building up of rural seetions brings buying trade closer to the Btore that advertises. Fast-flying trolleys, the tele phone, suburban and local train service, automobiles, steamers and power boats all annihilate, distance. To live five or ten miles from a store no longer means a jour ney of four or five hours. Modern transportation meth ods simply wipe the miles off the map with amazing speed. Consequently the wide-awake merchant who advertises for the trade living in outlying sections is doing mighty shrewd con structive work.
