Enlarging Your Business
If you are <n
business and you
want to make
more money you
will read every
word we have to
say. Are yot
spending your
money for ad-
vertising in hap-
hazard fashion
aa if intended
for charity, 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
business necessity, but must
be conducted on 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 has 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
teems necessary to you.
If you can sell goods over
the counter we can also show
you why this paper will best
serve your interests when you

this community.
CRUELTY OF NICARAGUANS
18 BROUGHT TO ATTENTION Or
OFFICIALS AT MANAGUA.
Woman 8hot for Resisting Officer’s
Kiss—Seventeen Cases of Brutal-
ity Toward Min.
Washington.—A letter written to the
American consul at Managua, Nlcara
gua, by Narolso Arellane, a citizen of
Nicaragua, detailing Incidents of cru
cities in the Isthmian republic, has
been forwarded to Senor Castrlllo, rep-
resentative of the Estrada forces In
Washington. In the letter he says:
"I think It best that you should know
these people are at their old work
again. They are torturing men and
even boys at Nandaimo and at Grana-
da, whipping them, suspending them
by the thumbs, with cords—all this to
wrench out confessions from them as
to who carried provisions to Calaxlto
Savaltor’s guerrllas beyond Nandaimo.
"I will cite as an example the case
of Octavio Marence, a young man own-
ing a ranch a few miles from Nandai-
mo, who was dealt 200 lashes with
sticks at midnight on April 6 at the
jail at Granada. He Is now in the peni-
tentiary in this town (Managua) and
It is such a matter of common knowl-
edge you must have heard the story
from another source.
"They have also burned property
and wrought damage to an Incalculable
degree, but this we will pass lightly
out of mind. It Is the rest I lay stress
on. I am ashamed that such cruelties
should be committed by men who pro-
fess to be Christians and are Nicaragu-
ans—such ferocity is more the work of
friends than human beings.
"We wish the state department and
the American public to be acquainted
with these facts as it might help mat-
ters a bit. It is a real shame that such
things are going on with warships a
few miles off Corlnto harbor, when an
order from Captain Kimball would
stop these devil's order. Should the
admiral send another mission to Inves-
tigate he would disclose a condition of
things unparalleled even in the Congo
Free State.”
Under date of April 10 from Mana-
gua, a subsequent note to the Ameri-
can consul at Managua from Arellane
states that the author has received in-
formation of seventeen cases In which
men have been hung Cp by the thumbs.
He gives the names of the seventeen
victims and the name of the one man
shot and two lashed.
Another document detailing those al-
leged cruelties and mentioning specific
instances of insults to women by offi-
cers alleging in one case that a woman
was shot because she resisted a gov-
ernment officer who tried to kiss her,
has been submitted to the state depart-
ment by Senor Castrlllo.

Kingston, Jamaica.—Nord Alexis,
former president of Hayti, died here
Sunday.
His health, however, has been con-
siderably broken by the experience of
the last year and a half after he was
deposed and sent Into exile. He was
a refugee since the revolution of
1908 and was possessed of considerable
property in Kingston.
A picturesque ruler was removed
from office when Nord Alexis was com-
pelled to ubdlcate and fled from Hayti
December 2, 1908. I’ort Au Prince was
then in the hands of the revolution-
ists, and General Antoshlo Simon, who

melancholia. Miss Rice was 29 years
of age and had taught hero for two
years.
NORD ALEXIS.
Nord Alexis was variously estimat-
ed at from 90 to 100 years of nge. He
was a descendant of ono of the old-
est families of Hayti. After being ed-
ucated under the care of his parents,
he entered the Haytten army and his
bravery soon brought him into public
attention. He took part in many wars
and in 1896 rebelled against Hlppoitye,
who previously had overthrown Presi-
dent Legitime. Hlppolyte died the
snme year while preparing to march
against the rebels and he was succeed-
ed by General Sam.
Nord Alexis became president of
Hayti In 1902. His term was to have
expired May 15, 1909, but his admin-
istration was not conspicuously suc-
cessful. Prominent politicians grumb-
led because he did not give them what
they considered their fare Bhare of the
spoils and his conduct in punishing
some notorious looters of the Nation-
al treasury excited widespread Indig-
nation, as it was regurded us a gross
breach of precendent.

agriculture Wednesday received re-
ports from East Texas as to the effect

Vsnus Libeled for Repair*.
New Orleans.—Another obstacle was

steamer Venus, said to he loaded with
arms and ammunition for consignment
to Greytown, Nicaragua,, in aid of the
Madriz government when the vessel
was libeled late Tuesday by the Sterns
foundry. The libellants claim an In-

With Cheers and Bands Play-
ing Dixie.
Mobile, Ala.—A slender, black-clad,
frlglitenod girl stood ou a raised plat-
form Tuesday and while six thousand
confederate veterans cheered, and
while the bands played Dixie, a score
or more gray-bearded confederate offi-
cers passed in review before her and
with uncovered heads kissed her hand.
The young girl was Miss Lucy White
Hayes, grand daughter of the only
president of the Confederacy.
The incident was the climax of the
first day’s session of the United Con-
federate Veterans. The big tent, which
is said to seat comfortably six thous-
and people, was packed to ltB topmost
tier of seats. The sides had been raised
and the throngs outside had pressed
In.
When the new "Daughter of th#
Confederacy" was being presented to
the convention the old veterans went
mad. The hands were ploying “Dixie"
—three of them were—but the combin-
ed masses could not drown out the
cheers. The veterans surged forward,
but the ropes stopped them. Then,
one by one, the stately general offi-
cers on the stage moved in review be-
fore the frightened girl, and each kiss-
ed her hand as he passed.
Miss Hayes' eyes filled with tears
and she seemed overcome with emo-
tion as she passed back to her seat
on the arm of her maid of honor, Miss
Ella Mitchell. Miss Hayes Is the
“sponsor for the Southern Confed-
eracy” In the reunion and takes rank
over all other sponsors and maids.
The afternoon session of the reun-
ion was brief. The confederate choir
sang and Judge McFarland of Mem-
phis delivered the oration of the day.
President Schurman of Cornell Thinks
Well of Rockefeller Foun-
dation.
Ithaca.—John D. Rockefeller's phi-
lanthropic scheme, which the Rocke-
feller foundation bill, now pending in
congress, proposes to Incorporate was
commended by President Jacob G.
Schurman In an address before the Cor-
nell congress Friday night. In sum-
ming up an exhaustive discussion of
the measure. President Schurman
said:
"I recognize that section No. 2 of tha
bill, which defines the object of the
Rockefeller foundation, authorizes and
empowers that foundation to do any-
thing and everything which may pro
mote and advance human civilization,
that is to say. morals and religion, art
and science, manners and social inter-
course, and all that concerns the po
lltical, economic, and material well
being of Individuals and communities.
This is a vast field for the exercise of
philanthropy.
"But Mr. Rockefeller has conceived
a vast scheme of philanthropy, for tha
benefit of his fellow citizens and man-
kind. His character, ability and 00
ganizlng skill are adequate guarantees
that he will carry out his schema
wisely and successfully, with incal-
culable benefit and blessing to man-
kind. It Is In the Interest of the na-
tion that he be given a free hand in
the exercise of his colossal benefi-
cence. So long as he Is active or his
influence remains It would be wise
and safe to give the foundation tha
sort of organization he desires. Neith-
er now nor herenftor does it seem nec-
essary to limit the scope of hts benefi-
cence, which la coextensive with tha
efforts of mankind to attain a higher
civilization.
“The only change I would desire to
1 b-.e In the proposed bill is the total of
pai lal elimination of the method of
selecting trustees by co-operation. The
organization might well be left a ctosa
corporation, If Mr. Rockefeller so de-
sires, for a generation. But after that
time I am confident that it would inure
both to the efficiency of the foundation
and to the public welfare—to say noth-
ing of the satisfaction of the sentiment
of a democracy—if the majority of tha
trustees were appointed by the 1 ••*!•
dent of the United States, with U. .1
advice and consent of the senate, or
selected by some other high abiding,
governmental agencies that may fairly
be regarded as representing the peo-
ple of the United States, whose wel-
fare Is the primary object of the Im-
mense and glorious benefaction."
