Holland in the Miami Herald, has long been a troublesome task. This is espe cially true when the moniker is to be given to a villain. There is dan ger of a libel suit If the name of a real individual happens to be se lected, as he can sue for damages and set up the claim that he has been held up to shame and ridi cule. There have been so many of these suits in England that parlia ment has amended the libel laws so that the author who can prove that he did not know of the existence of the individual who had the same name as his Imaginary character can offer this as a defense and avoid being mulcted. The numerous suits brought In England account for the unusual names often found in Eng lish uovels. Tills precaution, however, is not always sufficient. When Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner were writing “The Gilded Age" they devised the mime of Col. Mulberry Sellers for one of the characters. They were greatly surprised when a real Mulberry Sellers appeared and demanded redress, lie did not feel ffattered at all In being pic tured as a visionary chap who was always devising schemes to make money. No scheme ever worked, but Colonel Sellers insisted “there’s millions in it.” Claim Persimmon Tree Native of New England It Is not generally known that the persimmon tree is a native of New England, having been found apparently wild in Rhode Island and Connecticut. It is much bet ter known and more beautiful down South, where It Is an orchard tree. Unfortunately it is not iiardy enough around Boston to produce the fruit, although It Is fairly com mon here and prized for its leaf age and dowers, it is looked upon us one of the most promising of American native trees as a subject for experimentation and Improve- ment. “The wood of the American per slmmon is hard and close grained, and the so-called heartwood, which Is so slow In forming that a hun dred years may puss before it is detlnitely developed, becomes al most black in some old individuals," says J. G. Black in the Arnold Ar boretum bulletin. "It is from trees of this genus, which Is known to include from 175 to 200 named species, that the ebony of commerce Is derived, particularly from tlie variety found In India mid Ceylon and in the Dutch East Indies.” The persimmon in the north, here in America, often passes unnoticed among many other trees of differ ent families, but with somewhat similar foliage. The bark Is dark gray or brown tinged with red, and is deeply divided into thick, square plates.—Boston Globe. Camp • • • McGregor Riverview Mildred Hawkin* Mr. and Mrs. E. L.

Why Advertising Sells Merchandise Let us examine a moment into the reason why advertising sells merchandise to customers. Advertising accmplishes no magic. It works along perfectly natural laws. Advertising first attracts attention; second interests, and third, creates desire and finally sells. This is the process that the human mind goes through unconsciously when a well written advertisement is presented on the written page. It is important to buy wisely, but it is just as important to sell just as wisely by the modem method known as adver tising.—Exchange. PAGE FIVE ther in Portland, who is very sick.
