theoretical progress they are dream-

l^ing for those conveniences, paying
l taxes and rent for a good many
! years, yet no relief has .been granted.
What would the “King” say.to
! these people should you crown one
j in Palestine? The industrial class
| of people have always voted for the
| better advancement of the city, both
educational and civic, and will con-
tinue to do so but will never submit
to the city manager plan. We have
never forgotten how easy a minimum
light charge Was slipped in on us, or
how we escaped a Water minimum,
so if there is any charter change or
amendments they should be discuss-
ed through the press and not at a
council meeting exclusively.
I would advise all of our citizens
who possibly can to pay their poll
taxes, and be ready for the “faddists”
and so-called reformers. }
The result would not be in doubt
M. T. Byrnes,
To Palestine Herald:—
In your paper of January. 4th, I see
where the mayor announces that he
will call the board together to dis-
cuss the mayor-m&nager plan, also
other amendments to our city char-
ter.
I think, with my co-workers and
the industrial citizens, that this plan
Would be a very undemocratic move
for free-born Americans. It either
suggests that our intelligences are
waning or we are going back to mon-
archy, for as sure as you adopt such l
• f
an order of things there will be no
recourse for any grievance. Of
course you may sugar-coat this king
with all kinds of restrictions and
rules, but a poor man would never
get anything adjusted.
As to the boost in sidewalk build-
ing: If the city were to take a little

Paris, Jan. 12.—rGeneral Joseph
Joffre, in whose honor the title and
rank of a marshal of Prance has been
revived on the occasion of his retire-
ment from the chief command of the
. . j . ■ . • •* ■ •
French armies, celebrated his sixty-
fifth birthday anniversary today,
having been born January 12, 1852, in
the Pyranees-Orientales. General
Joffre’s retirement marks the close
of an active military career that has
extended over a period of more than
forty years. At the outbreak of the
present war he was filling the posi-
tion of chief of staff. Previous to
that ^ime he had made his greatest
reputation \£S a military engineer.
Before the war was many days old,
however, he had given evidence of
his mastership of all branches of
military science. It was due to Gen-
eral Joffre’s genius of strategy, more
than to any other one factor that en-
tered into the situation that the Ger-
mans were deflected from their
march on Paris and then driven back
. #• ?
toward the frontier. -*
San Antonio, Texa« Jan. 12.—Ac-
■j cording to an official-report compiled
| at the office of the chief surgeon of
the southern department, 274 deaths
nave occurred during the last seyen
[ months Tin an’army of more than
150,000' national guardsmen and reg-
ulars. Of thepe 108 are classified as*
caused by violence and the balance oC
166 due to disease.
These figures are evidence of a
splendid record, it was declared, and
prove beyond a doubt the generally,,
healthy condition of tne army as a
whole while in service.
Of the total of 274 deaths 47 were
caused by gunshot * wounds. These
include the men killed in raids, and
engagements in1 Mexico and along
the border. The national guard was
not called into federal service for
border duty, with the* exception of
the Texas troops, until June ^18.
Since that tinie there h^ve been sev-
eral victims of ; bullet wounds. ./ ' r
There have been 29 accidental
deaths. Nineteen- men » have com-
mitted suicide. This makes a total o£-
108 deaths which have been caused
by violence of one sort or another.
- Out of the 166 other deaths, 44
were due to pneumonia and this,
according to the report, was the
largest number for any specific dis-
ease. Thirty-four of these occurred
during the month of December, which
■ * # ,
means that in the preceeding six
months only 10 deaths from that cause
■ were recorded. .
Most of these were in the western
portion of Texas or in Arizona, where
the climate is said' to have been ex
tremely severe during the past twcf
months.
About. 30 deaths were from ab-
dominal diseases, appendicitis and
other diseases of that nature.

grade those that look like a country
road way back in the ’&0’s, citizens
would take some pride in didewalks.
You will note that wherever there is
some city pride shown by grading a
street, you will see the people on
that street begin fixing up their side-
walks. I think that^lf the city would
see that people hr certain additions
had lights, water and sewer connec-

Enthuse Local Dealers
■' _• -■ . ". - ' ' .:
UCCESS or failure for the manufacturer's product is
made over the counter of the local dealer. What the
_ storekeeper says carries weight with customers, sways
the jobbers, and makes for repeat orders., 1
When you are considering a national advertising Campaign, Mr. Manufacturer, ask
yourself this question:
WThat is most, likely to impress the storekeeper and to gain his favor? Profit-mak-
ing goods that sell quickly. *
And\what are the quick-sellers for him? Products that are advertised in the news-
papers* that are read by all his possible customers. '

Once again the charts of the past and present and futnre seem, to point.to THE
DAILY NEWSPAPER.
No questions as to “past performances’’ for two successive
International Window Display Weeks conducted by the
newspapers have written the greatest story ever of conti-
nent-wide “dealer influence.’’
There are other methods of rousing the “dealer interets,” of course—but they are
••a8 6alt on the ^ail” compared with the close-bore shot-gun method of game bagging.
Sending the salesman around with the proof i to "ginger up” the storexeeper is not
so important when the manufacturer advertises his goods in the Newspaper.
Newspaper advertising is a “self-starter.”
Storekeepers are educated to co-operate with it—educated by the newspapers,
educated by their own’experience. The appearance of the advertising is a signal to
the dealer to put the goods in the window—and prepare to play the sales intermezzo
on the keys of his cash register.
