SATURd"aY," NOVEMBER 1371909 THE GREAT MEN I.Ives or Kreat mnn nil remind us thut It pays to advertise; ev- ery day of life should find us ranking nil the people wise, to our coming and our Kolng nothing comes to him who's coy; all our wares we would he showing, If the limelight we'd enjoy. Let us sink the bland reporters If they do not hunt for us; seek them In dismal quarters, In their Inky, pasty muss; giving them our warm opinions of all things beneath the sky; over all the earth's domln- Ions let Imagination fly. Famous men? The crowds adore them Lions thrive In every land! Let us keep our names before them and they'll cheer to beat the band! Let our pictures oft be printed lust the people should forget, even though the section tinted is the only pluce we get. Hotter have our faces beaming on the pink or yellow page t li it n to have the people dreaming that we are no more the rage. Advertising! - Let the grocer pay for space to bill his name; shall we do It? Not for Joe, sir! That Is not the great man's game. We are onto smoother enpers than the merchants often see; wo have learned to work the papers, and to get our booming free. WALT MASON. . Copyright, 1909, by Walter Adams, Chicago. The city of Detroit is trying a novel plan for deriving reve nue from its streets by renting them to the street railway com pany. The franchises expire this week, and the city legislators , have taken advantege of this to assert the absolute proprietor -: ship of the city in the streets- and its natural landlord right to charge a rental therefor. The resolution takes advantage of the provision of a new constitution which denies the railways the power to operate without a franchise from the city. The rental value is fixed at $300 a day. The new scheme does not involve municipal ownership and neither does it assert or lean toward any city ownership of the street car plant, but only of the streets, in which the rails are placed. In short, it is no til ing more nor loss than a form of ground rent. The report of the United States delegates to the International Congress on Alcoholism, held in London last July, now made pub lic by the state department, is to the effect that "alcohol is a foe to man's welfare."" The report will be received with gloom, horror and sadness in many quarters regrets at thought of all the beers that could have beon bought with the money used in sending delegates to London to find out something that every body here already knew, t An advance of 10 per cent in the price of furniture, to take effect at the opening of the spring season in January, is in pros pect, according to the members of the National Furniture Manu facturers' Association, The association is holding its annual convention in Chicago, and all the leading furniture makers from Grand Rapids and other centres are represented. This is the real football day of the season, both East and West, Yale and Harvard meet in their annual struggle, and here iii the Northwest Oregon and Idaho will battle in Portland and Washington and 0. A. C. at Corvallis. This evening's Guard will toll its readers how these great gridiron contests resulted Alfred I. Dupont, practically head of the Dupont powder trust, has brought suit for heavy "damages against a relative, Mrs. Elizabeth B. Dupont, for alleged "vulgar and untrue" state ments made about his Alfred's wife. Evidently all the ex plosions in this famed family don't occur in powder magazines. A Chicago man just returned from Africa brings the word that Mr. Rooaevolt is much distressed at the reports reaching this country of his "indiscriminate slaughter" of animals when in fact he is slaying only necessary specimens. The setting right of this point will probably afford considerable consolation for the speoimens. Perfumes aA i ahari v.a rouniiitinn thara.

Too bad she cannot be floated up A new line Ol AOOlpn OpIUCTS into the Dakotas lor an occasional jacK-raDuu No sooner will we get President Taft's strenuous tour off our hands than congress will be bobbing up to claim all the news paper space. Life is just one little dill pickle after another. George J. Gould in an interview gives out a very good set of rules for a young man to achieve success. However, it's not likely the same set of rules he handed Boni de Castellane. If the report is true that Colonel John Jacob Astor has set tled ten million dollars on his now divorced wife, then he is being relieved in more ways than one. THINGS WE THINK ' mid WHAT OTHEItS THIXK lly Klbrrt Hede First to thine own wife be true. Too many Cooks spoil the North Pole. . The poor are always with us, and your rich relatives seem to hang on a long time. C Politics Is a disease, says a learn ed doctor. The only cure is to make the patient a veriform appendix to some Job. Newspapers will soon be made out of cornstulks. In Borne cases this will be nn awful waste of good cow feed. Very, few married men play foot ball. They don't want to take the chances of letting their hair grow the required length. We momentarily expect to hear that llarrlnian has secured a controll ing Interest of the roud that is paved with good intentions. Those who wish to be strictly up-1 to-tlio-nilnute language no longer say; a. person "went up in the air." He or she "aviated" Is the correct form. First Half. She How could you tell papa that you were up every morning In time to see the sun rise, when you don't get up til nine? He That's all right. The sun rises till noon, doesn't it? Uncle George, we are studying synonyms In school, and I want to know the difference between "cute" and "sneaky." "According to your mother, it Is the difference between what you do ami what Mrs. Jones' little hoy does." "Hey. tihere!" yelled the conduc tor. "Why are you taking that axe and saw out of the case?" "I want to open a window," replied the passenger. "I want some cigars for my hus band, please." "Yes, madame, what kind?" "I don't quite know; but he's a small man and always drsses in black." "Is that rich young fellow's life all froth?" "Looks like It. He has just bought anotiher new bubble." Plumber Have you got all we want for Brown's job? Boy Yes. Plumber Wot? You 'aven't for got nothln'? Well, that's a good 'tin! Haven, t forgot nothln,' and you leaarhin' to be a plumber! Now somebody is wanting John D. Rockefeller to take up the fight against pollogra, the mysterious ailment that is arousing so much discussion and put his money in it, If Chicago University doesn't look out, it's going to get only a "hard times handout" from Uncle Jawndee next timo. Another example of the too handy gun. Fred Dawson, at Ardmore, Okla., mistook his wife for a burglar and shot her dead. Shooting first and investigating afterward has caused more sor row than all the burglars the world has ever known could have created. ... . . I . I .Ud.u Up at Ottawa, Ontario, a ten-year-old boy has been sen tenced to six years' imprisonment for horse-stealing? When eight years old he was convicted of train-wrecking. "Give the little boys a chance" and they'll generally do tteir "durned-est." Of course Eugene should have a city hall a creditable build, lng, costing not less than $78,000. And the special election to approve the bond issue should be held in the near future, so that work may be commenced on the structure in early spring. Many people of tho South are criticising the Rockefeller hookworm fund. But why worry about the object? Let the mil lions get in circulation. Conflicting reports are coming from Nicaragua as to which While part of tho world is longing for luxuries it could enjoy, many of those who have them would be will ing to give them back to he able to enjoy them. a It Isn't the uot having things that bothers us so much as the seeing oth- ors have them who do not appear any more worthy or them than we our selves. . A Cleveland dyspeptic, who has fasted for fifty days, says he has not bei-h bothered with indigestion dur ing that period una believes he has effocted a cure. Some one has truthfully said that nothing but a mint can make money without advertising. It might be added that the mint couldn't do It If It didn't put Its competitors in jail. The ideal husband and wife have not been born vet. A llelng "one of the boys" Is one way of getting old. We are nil made of mud. but It shirks to soino longer than others. Northfield News: Any kind of re ligion Is good enough, If It Is only put Into use. An exchange speaks of the electo ral college as the "electrical" college. Shocking. Dr. Cook, of North Pole fame, Is said to bo a Democrat. No wonder Uepubllnin papers are tardy In giving him credit for having attained the highest position In the world. A large comet that has not made Its appearance since the days of Christ will be visible In the heavens this winter. Those who saw It be fore Bay It Is well worth watching for. It Isn't so difficult o strengthen a weak stomach if one goes at It correctly. And this is true of the heart and kidneys. Tlhe old fashioned way of dosing the stomach or stimu lating the heart or kidneys, is surely wrong. Dr. Shoop first pointed out this error; "Go to the weak or ailing nerves of these organs," said he. Each Inside organ has its controlling "inside nerve." When these nerves fall then those organs must surely ralter. Tib Is vital truth Is leading druggists everywhere to dispense and recommend.
