Enlarging Your Business
If you are to
business and you
want to make
more money you
will read every
word we have *o
say. Are yon
spending your
money (or ad-
vertising in hap-
hazard fashion
as if intended
lor chanty, or do you adver-
tise for direct results?
Did you ever stop to think
how your advertising can be
made a source of profit to
you, and how its value can be
measured in dollars and
cents. If you have not, you
are throwing money away.
Advertising is a modern
busiuess necessity, but must
be conducted ou business
principles. If you are not
satisfied with your advertising
you should set aside a certain
amount of money to be spent
annually, and then carefully
note the effect it ha* in in-
creasing your volume of busi-
ness; whether a to, ao or 30
per cent increase. If you
watch this g from year to
you will become intensely in-
terested in your advertising,
and how you can make it en-
large your business.
If you try this method we
believe you will not want to
let a single issue of this paper
go to press without something
from your store.
We will be pleased to have
you call on us, and we will
take pleasure in explaining
our annual contract for so
many inches, and how it can be
used in whatever amount that
seems necessary to you. f
If you can sell goods over
the counter we can also show
you why this paper will best
serve your interests when you
want to reach the people of
tbie community.
Don’t Use a Scarecrow
To Drive Away the
Mail Order Wolf
•N-.
You can drive him out
quickly if you use the mail
order houses’ own weapon
—advertising. Mail order
concerns are spending
thousands of dollars every
week in order to get trade
from the home merchants.
Do you think for a minute
they would keep It up if
they didn’t get the busi-
ness? Don’t take it for
granted that every one
within a radius of 25 miles
knows what you have to
sell, and what your prices are. Nine times out of ten your prices
are lower, but "the customer is influenced by the up-to-date adver-
tising of the mail order house. Every article you advertise should
be described and priced. You must tell your story in an inter-
esting way, and when you want to reach the buyers of this com-
munity use the columns of this paper.
SIX NEW GOVERNORS
INAUGURATED. THREE DEMO-
CRATS. ONE REPUBLICAN
GOVERNOR OIX’S ADDRESS
He is First Democratic Govern r in
Eighteen Years—Talk was on
Business and Economy.
Six new governors, four of them rep-
resenting different political parties
than their predecessors, were inaugu-
rated in (he United States Monday. In
three of the states the changes repre-
sent gains to the democratic ranks;
the fourth, Nevada, by the inaugura-
tion of Lasker L. Oddie, now has its
first republican chief executive in |
nearly a score of years.
Te following are the stales in which
new chief executives took meir ot»l-
ces:
New York—John Alden Dix, a demo-
crat. succeeds Horace YVnile, repub-
lican.
Wisconsin—F. E. McGovern suc-
ceeds James Davidson, both republi-
cans.
Michigan—Chase S. Osborne suc-
ceeds Fred M. Warner, both republi-
cans.
Wyoming—Joseph M. Carr, a demo-
crat, succeeds B. B. Brooks, republi-
can.
Idaho—James H. Hawley, a demo-
crat, succeeds J. H. Brady, republi-
can.
Nevada—Lasker h. Oddie. u republi-
can succeeds D. C. Dickerson, demo-
crat.
The inauguration of Governor Os-
borne, on the other hand was marked
by extreme simplicity, lie had ap-
pointed no military staff and assumed
his position in the parlor of the exe-
cutive suite before only friends and
relatives.
Governor Dix said in part:
"The end of ail government should
be the preservation of true liberty—
me liberty which guarantees to every
tnan the fullest measure of Individual
right consistent wun a proper main-
tenance of the rights of others and
at the same time preserves and main-
tains the collective rights of all the
members of the state.
“Under <>nr constitution such liber
ty we possess In New York. It must
he our constant aim so to strengthen
anti extend the exercise of persona!
and inalienable rights by the indivi-
dual as to bring to the state I he great-
1st growth and highest development
jf which our citizenship and resource
are capable.
“Great as are the public resources
of our commonwealth, expenditures
have grown in a measure out of all
proportion to the revenue of the state
and we seem committed to an outlay
which will not alone tax to its full ex-
tent our income, but demand that we
draw up' \ the future in a way which,
in my opinion, is of very doubtful wis-
dom.
“During the past sixteen years those
in charge of the stale government
have discovered and turned lo account
many sources of indirect taxation
whereby the attention of the great
mass of people has been direoted from
the fact that our expenditures have
been growing out of all proportion to
our increase in population, resources
and wealth.
“Frankly, we have reached a point
1 where, for a long time past, we have
been living beyond our moans. The
pressing duty of the hour is a meas-
ure of reform and retrenchment that
will reverse the condition and restore
(o ns the healthy and normal positions
where we shall have something more
than a largely Petitions surplus.
“In my opinion. It Is far better to
Insist on Inconvenience and difficulty
In the public departments than to re-
sort to an expenditure which will com-
pel a return to direct taxation.”

John U. Molsant and Arch Hoxsey,
aviators extraordinary, were killed
Saturday. Both fell out of the treach-
erous air with their machines—neith-

remaining minutes of lile were so'Jew
as to count as naught. lloxBey was
killed instantly. MulBatit met his
death at 9:55 a. w., attempting to
alight In a field a few utiles from New
Orleans. Iloxsey, who went into the
air early in the afternoon at Los An-
geles, lay at 2:12 p. m. a broken,
crushed, lifeless mass In plain view of
the thousands who were watching the
aviation tournament.
Thus the last day of 1910, in bring-
ing the total number of drains of those
who have sought to fly to thirty-live,
capped the list with two of fhe most
illustriotiB of aviators, who have been
writing the history of aviation In (be

MolsanPs Aerial Career.
Moisant, a Chtcagocn by birth, after
an adventurous life in Central Amer-
ica, began aviation in Franco less than
a year ago. He soared I11.0 public re-
cognition through his plucky flight
from Paris across the English Chan-
nel (o London with a passenger, and
later, finding himself without a ma-
chine, by buying one from a friend
Bnd within ten minutes starting on his
winning flight from Belmont Park,
New York, around the Statue of Lib-
erty for a prize of $10,000
Saturday a sudden puff of wind
caught him within one hundred feet of
the earth, turned his machine over,
and a broken plane terminated his
career.
Hoxsey's Fearless Record.
Arch Iloxsey, after a year of uni-
form success with the Wright aero-
plane, In which he hud come lo have
a record for fearlessness and compe-
tency in the air, in which only within
the week he had set a new world's al
titude record of 1 1,474 feet, ami then,
to show his contempt l'tr the earth,
had sailed majestically more than four
thousand fem above Mount Wilson, In
California, ran afoul of the same kind
of shifty, boiling, (rcachcrous wind
when some five hundred feet In the

Both men met death in almost the

sion Wednesday of 3,750 pounds of
powder in a tunnel driven under the
mountain of slag at tho El Paso smel-
ter by the El Paso 4 Southwestern
Railroad, six men were killed and sev-
en injured. All were burled tu the
tunnels and the work of rescue was
begun at ofice.
The last of the living was rescued
on Thursday. There are four dead
whose bodies have not yet been re-
covered. There were four tunnels,
each thirty-five feet long an each load-
ed with 150 kegs of powder weighing
twenty-five pounds each, and a stick
of dynamite.
Tho explosion occurred In tunnel
No. 2 and caused Nos. 1 and 3 to cave
in, but had no effect on No. 4. The
rescue work was all the more hazard-
ous because charges remained unex-
plotted In Noe. 1, 3 and 4. Fully one
hundred persons were more or loss
hurt by the flying fragments and thtr-
ty-two houses were rendered uninhab-
itable. The explosion was undoubted-
ly caused by a match or a cigarette.

dump of the El Paso smelter were di-
rected toward the release of Euslvo
Aguillar, the only living tnnn remain-
ing in the slag heap. Aguillar had
been pinned under a mass ot the slag
