Prompt work on the part of the mill fire department and the Dallas fire men kept the flames from spreading but not however, until something like 75,000 feet of piled lumber valued at nearly $3000 had been destroyed. Two hours after the fire was dis covered the flames were under con trol, but the fire department was kept on the job throughout the day for fear the fire, might break out afresh amid the smoldering piles of lumber. The entire loss is fully covered by insurance. In addition to the loss by the lumber company the Southern Pacific track was somewhat damaged by fire and heat, and a prune orchard across from the fire was also dam aged. Two years ago this month a big fire destroyed the entire mill of the Willamette Valley Lumber company and in its place one of the best equipped mills on the Pacific coast was built. CHARLES II.

He's a cousin to the cow's tail. Why follow, when you can lead? Supposing all your customers left their shopping in your store until an hour before you were closing up at night, what would happen? You know. It would make great confusion, you couldn't give service and your customers would leave the store dissatisfied. Well, in a way, that's what you ask the newspapers to do. You wait until the ninth hour to prepare your copy, and when it reaches the office you expect the com positors to do two hours' work in one. It can't be done. The result is that your advertisement is slapped to gether in great haste, with a chance for errors and with out proper display. It can't be otherwise. Stop that old habit of putting off till the last day, the last hour and the last minute to send your copy to the newspaper office. Get it out early when you have time to think and .pre pare it properly. Then send it to the newspaper office two or three days ahead. That will give the newspapei time to prepare your advertisement properly. You can see the logic of it. It will mean better ads, better service and better results. That's what you want. That's why you advertise. Give the newspaper a chance. Apply the Golden Rule. O) K)sa04
