Enlarging Your Business
If you are In
business and you
want to make
more money yon
will read every
word wa have »o
•ay. Are yon
spending your
money (or ad-
vertising in hap-
hazard fashion
as if intended
lor 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 affect it baa in in-
creasing your volume of busi-
ness; whether a io, 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.
If you can sell goods over
the counter we can also show
you why this paper vyill best
serve your interests when you
want to reach the people of
this community.
Don’t Use a Scarecrow
Io Drive Away the
Hail Order Wolf
You ean 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
•ell, 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 artide 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-

MAD RUSH AT PICTURE SHOW
BOY SHOUT8 FIRE, AND MANY
KILLED AND WOUNDED
In Ruth for Safety—Women and Chil-
dren Among the Dead—Fireman
Finds Own Children.
Canonsburg, Pa.—Twenty-six dead
from suffocation; twenty-five serious-
ly Injured; thirty suffering from
minor hurts.
This Is the amount of human toll
exacted by an inexcusable panic at a
moving picture show In the Canons-
burg opera house Saturday night.
The moving picture machine de-
veloped a slight defect. A small boy
shouted "fire,'' at the same time start-
ing for the narrow exit.
Bolus Dubrowsky, a foreign miner,
a giant in proportions, jumped from
his seat and ran wildly for the same
exit. In a moment there was a fight-
ing, struggling mass after him. At
the head of a narrow stuirwuy which
led to the street the foreigner tripped.
As he rolled down the stairs he swept
others from their feet who were watt-
ing their turn to enter the theater,
and soon there was an indescriliable
pile of humanity at the foot of the
steps, battling like mad.
IJubrowski’s wild flight through the
theater and his subsequent stumble
down the stairs was the beginning of
the death jam at the foot of the
stairs. The bodies clogged the dour-
way. Men walked over them and
fought for positions of safety until
overwhelmed by the weight of the
mass behind. They, too, were crushed
down to death.
When the doorway had been filled
up still other persons walked over the
bodies of those who had gone down,
and breaking the glass transom over
the door, crawled through and drop-
ped into the street.
It was all ended In a few minutes.
Volunteer firemen, several policemen
and a few level-headed citizens un-
tangled the human mass. The unhurt
and those slightly Injured were pulled
from the top of, the pile. As they
gained the street they ran screeching
away. Next came the more seriously
j hurt, and these were sent home or
I taken to nearby houses, while a few
I were rushed unconscious to hospitals.
i Then the rescuers came to the forms
; of those who had reached the futal
( stairway first. One after another the
! victims, many of them women and
j small children, were carried to the
sidewalk. All had been suffocated.
Manager Ferguson endeavored to
stop the panic. Accompanied by his
wife, he started for the stairs, hut
seeing there was no escape, he went to
the stage. Calling loudly to the fright-
ened people to follow him, he led the
way to the rear, and fully three hun-
dred escaped in this way.
Of the twenty-six dead, thirteen
were children, seven of them pupils
in the public schools. It was decided
by the school authorities to postpone
for a week the opening of the schools.
Wlltner Lane, an employe of the
Canonsburg pottery and a member of
tho volunteer fire company, hastened
to answer the alarm, and was working
at the pile of bodies at the entrance
when he came upon the lifelesB forms
of his two children lying beside his
unconscious wife.

LATER WILL OF JOHN W. CATES
Estate Not Held in Trust for Ten
Years—Mother and Son to Di-
vide at Once.
New York.—An announcement that
the will made by John W. Gates in
May, 1910, which was made public on
the day of his funeral Wednesday,
had been revoked by a will in March,
1911, was made Monday by attorneys
who drew up the latter will. The doc-
ument left all but $1,000,000 in a trust
fund for liiR widow and son, forbidding
the sale of any of tho securities for
ten years. So far as the attorneys'
statement showB, there is no pro-
vision of this sort in tho new will,
which gives the son a million dollars
outright, $2,000,000 in trust and the
widow the remainder of the estate,
with the exception of about $700,000,
which is divided among relatives and
friends.
The attorneys' statement adds that
Mrs. Gates, “in pursuance of tho
wishes of her husband, has arranged
to turn over to her son a part of a
portion of the estate bequeathed to
tier sufficiently large to make their
share approximately equal.”
The estate has been unauthorita-
tively estimated at $:10,000,000.
Girl Swims Fifteen Miles.
New York.—Elaine Golding Sunday
swam from tho Battery to Coney
Island, fifteen miles. Miss Golding is
20 years old and weighs 120 pounds.
She has won many championships at
short and middle distances, hut inudo
her first effort at such a long dis-
tance. Her time, one minute more
than six hours, in regarded as excep-
tionally good, us a heavy ruin fell all
the time and the sea was choppy.
Continued Earthquake Tremors.
Mobile, Alu. — Almost continual
earthquake tremors have been record-
ed on the seismograph at BprtDg Hill
college Sunday. The continued
trembling of the instrument Is very-
peculiar, and according to tho scien
tints in charge indicates u seismic dis-
turbance of considerable force.

Uvalde, Tex.—That dry farming Is
bringing ubout marvelous changes for
the better in West Texas; thut the
production is being increased and the
harvest made certain, and that the for-
| merly despised semi-arid region is
now in truth a land flowing with milk
; and honey, was the story told at the
opening session of the Texas Dry
Farming Congress at Uvalde this
week. The facts presented show con-
clusively thut dry farn.'p- ?, or the con-
servation of the mo' ture, is both
practical und success!*; uud is des-
tined to redeem to the i>iow within the
next few years thousands upon thou-
sands of acres ot land which will add
to the State and support a largely in-
creased agricultural population.
Enthusiastic men who are actually
practicing witii profitable success this
method gathered from twelve or fif-
teen of the counties between San An-
tonio and El Paso. The stories they
told were of an optimist t nature and
such that will mean a ; t deal for
future development. Facts show that
since the introduction of dry farming
the production of cotton between San
Antonio and El Paso has Increased
from 6,000 bales tc 200,000 bales dur
ing a normal year and will reach not
j less than 125,000 bales during the sea-
1 son of 1911, which has been marked
by one of the greatest drouths known.
Through the planting of mllo maize,
Kaffir corn, Egyptian wheat and the
more scientific cultivation of corn, suf-
ficient forage is being produced to
increase the number of fat cattle now
being raised annually.
Where a few yearB ago it took 15 to
25 acres of land to support a longhorn
cow, the same acre is now being made
by supplementing it by the acreage
planted in forage to produce from six
to ten head of cattle of much higher
and much better grade. What has
been termed barren wastes are now
loading down the tables of the men
1 who cultivate the soil with the most
j luscious fruits and the most desirable
| of vegetables. The West has ceased to
be looked upon in a scornful manner
as a country for farmers und is being
classed with the profitable producing
regions of the State.
Search Made for Most Celebrated Por-
trait in Existence.
Paris.—"Joconde,” the masterpleco
of Leonardo I)a Vinci, for which the
British government is said to have of-
fered $5,000,000, haH disappeared from
the Salon Garre of Luvre, where It oc-
cupied the place of honor.
The great museum has been search-
ed from cellar to attic In vain. M.
Dujardin-Boaumetz, the permanent, un-
dersecretary of fine arts, has tele-
graphed the authorities of the loss
and among other plans to trace the
; picture lias summoned all photog-
1 ruphers who have the privilege of tho
j Louvre. The police are interrogating
all the curators and assistants,
j The proper name of La Joconde,
j also called Mona Lisa, is the portrait
of Madonna Lisa Del Cloconde. It Is
one of the world's most famous paint-
ings and is held priceless. It Is de-
clared the most celebrated female por-
trait now in existence. The most
striking characteristic is the sphinx-
like smile. Da Vinci’s model was the
wife of Francesco Del Glocondo, a
Florentine. She is shown seated In a
low chair, on the left arm of which
she is leaning.
“Mona Lisa" is one of France's
greatest art treasures, ranking with
I the sculptures "Venus do Milo" and
j Hie "Victory of Snmothrnce” and
Muerlllo’s painting, “The Immaculute
1 Conception.”
The only parallel in the history of
j art thefts Is the case of Gainsbor-
ough's famous "Duchess of Devon-
| shire," which was taken from its
frame in the show room of an art firm
In Loudon some years ago, hut later
returned by the late Pat Sheedy, a
well known American gambler, who
acted as Intermediary between the
thief und the art dealers. Later this
picture wus purchased by J. P. Mor-
gan.
Purcell. Okltt—While 3,000 men,
women and children shouted their ap-
proval, Peter Carter, a uegro, who had
previously been captured by tlireo
members of hts own race und identlt-
flod an the man who Thursday night
attacked Mrs. Minnie Spraggius, wife
of a farmer, was burned to death on
a brush heap in the main street of
Purcell Frlduy. Deputy Sheriff ilayes
and Under Sheriff Furris, who at-
tempted to rescue the negro from the
crowd, were overpowered and locked
in the court house.
Mrs. Spragglns was assaulted while
alone in tier home, one utile south of
Purcell. After the deed the negro set
fire to the Spragglns home. Mrs.
Spraggins’ husband saw the flames
while working in the field and rushed
into tho house in time to rescue his
wife. She declared Carter, who for-
merly worked 011 the Spraggins farm,
had attacked her. Officers went to
Carter's homo und arrested him. He
was turned over to a constable, but
on the way to jail escaped. When It
became known the negro wus free
farmers of the neighborhood organ-
ized and prosecuted an unsuccessful
all night search.
Captured Under Box Car.
lligley Henry, a negro janitor, no-
ticed u strange negro riding under a
box cur near the Oklahoma Central
railway Btation. With the aid of two
other negroes, who hud armed them-
selves, the negro janitor pulled Carter
from beneath the car. lie was taken
to the main street of Purcell, where a
great crowd had gathered.
“Turn the negro over to me," said
a tall farmer, who suddenly Beeined
to assume command of the crowd.
Tlie Janitor and ills two aids obeyed.
Carter wus then taken across the
street and In un instant many men
| and boys were gathering brush and
placing it nt Ills feet. At this moment
Deputy Sheriff Ilayes and Under
Sheriff Furris arrived and pleaded
with the mob to turn the prisoner
over to them.
"Mon of Purcell, if you lynch this
man it will be the darkest blot on
yourselves and the town of Purcell
thut any town ever experienced.”
"That's all right, sheriff," shouted
one of tho mob, "hut wo must protect
our wives and daughters from bluck
1 hounds.”
The cheers, when the first flames
i shot up, mingled with the piercing
j screams of the negro, and after the
j fire had burned for an hour und the
body was nothing hut a crisp, tho
[ crowd again cheered. Then it dis-

ATWOOD REACHES NEW YORK
FIRST MAN IN HISTORY TO
TRAVEL 1.266 MILES
In a Heavier-Than-AIr Machine—Act-
ual Flying Tim, la 28 Hour,
and 31 Minute*.
New York.—Sailing serenely over
New York's myriad water craft, Harry
N. Atwood, the Boston aviator, arrived
there in his areoplane Friday, the
first man in history to travel 1,266
miles in a heuvior-than air machine.
Atwood's safo landing on Governor,
Island, after flying down from Nyack,
N. Y., above the Hudson river,
through a fog which made him only
dimly visible to the million eyes that
watched him, wus u notable incident
in the unnala of aeronautics. He not
only broke the world's record, cover-
ing 1,265 miles in un air line, or per-
haps 100 more miles with his detours,
hut he flew all the way in the Bame
biplane and with no important mis-
haps.
Atwood's flight is comparable only
to that made by fust trains, for he
covered the distance in un actual fly-
ing time of 28 hours and 31 minutes.
Atwood's final lap in his long Jour-
ney was a glide of twenty-five miles
from Nyack, N. Y., where he had stop-
ped over night. He landed in the most
nonchalant, and smiling manner, bat-
less and hungry. Into the midst of a
group of army officers, who hallad
him ns America's greatest aviator.
‘Well, I'm glad It's ended,” Atwood
said as he hopped from his machine.
"1 guess the next long distance flight
for me will be from San Francisco or
l.os Angeles to the Atlantic coast.”
Atwood's coming was unexpected
over Governors Island, as It had been
heralded that he would Innd at the
Sheepshoad Bay race track, where
thousands lined vantage points look-
ing skyward. Atwood expressed re-
gret at their disappointment.
"They wanted me to watt until Sat-
urday," he said, telling of a limn In
charge of tho local arrangements,
"und promised to huve n big crowd
there. But 1 couldn't delay tny flight."

For Gates' Memory.
Houston, Tex.—On Wednesday the
Texas company paid silent tribute to
the late John VV. Gates by an abso-
lute suspension of business in every
office of that company throughout the
world for half a day. Many of the
Texas company buildings have been
draped in mourning and ull tho flags
on tlie company's ships, in port or at
sea, fly at half mast.

TEXANS FREEZE TO DEATH
In a Blinding Snow Storm—Bodies
Are Found by Chance—Home
at Dallae.
Colorado Springs, Colo.—W. A.
Skinner and wife of Dallas, Texas,
met with sudden death in a blinding
storm of wind, rain, hail and snow on
the hospital summit of Pike's Peak.
Their frozen bodies were found by
mere chance under u deep snow drift
near tho tracks of the cog road at a
12,600 feet altitude and within less
than two miles of their destination
Tuesday by a boy who was attracted
by u part of tho woman’s dress flut-
I tering in the wind. Tito Skinners
; started alone on tbelr nine-mile climb
from the Manltou depot to the sum-
mit, expecting probably to be joined
by other tourists, as is the usual ex-
perience in the resort season. Half
way up they were overtaken by tho
storm, but continued on their journey,
though Insufficiently clad. At last,
benumbed by cold and exhausted by
their efforta at climbing, they sat
down to rest. When found they were
tucked In each other's arms, and thus
died, probably at the same hour.
Transportation tickets and other let-
ters and papers established their iden-
tity and home. They were in middle
life and evidently prosperous, as they
were dressed in latest style. The fad
to walk up to tho summit to witness
the sunrise Is popular and is Indulged
In by thousands of resorters every
summer.
A pathetic feature of the deaths is
the finding of a letter in Skinner's
pocket, dated Dallas, August 15, from
C. H. Choice, in which these words
occur:
"I hope you are having the time of
your life in Colorado. I am sending
you un overcoat us per your request.
I hope you don't freeze to death (Hi
Pike's Peak.”

CONGRESS ENOS SESSION
Taft Vetoes Cotton Bill—A General
Exodus of Tired and Worn-
Out Statesmen.
Wushlngton.—When the special ses-
sion of congress adjourned Tuesday,
direct election of senators, which Is
still hung up In conference, was tho
only piece of Important legislation on
the democratic program which tiad not

j Contrary to the usual order of
I things, adjournment came Tuesday
; without uny of the feverish excite-
ment and confusion that generally
mark and mar these occasions. So
there is a general exodus of weary
statesmen from tlie city, headed by
j President Taft himself, who goes for a
j short rest at his summer home at
j Beverly to prepare himself lor the
long swing around the circle, which
will carry him on a tnlsBlonury ex-
pedition into the republican insurgent
j country of the West and Northwest.
The most notable event of tho duy
at the capital was the receipt and
! reading In the house of the last of tlie
president's scries of veto messages
| conveying ills disapproval of Hie hill
revising the cotton schedule with Its
senate amendments dealing with iron,
steel, chemicals and bituminous coat.
His veto of this measure was along
substantially the suine lines as those
which killed the wool and free list
| bills, and its reading in the house was
punctuated with frequent applause
from the republican side. No attempt
was made by the democrats of the
house to override tho veto and tho
message with Its accompanying docu-
ments was referred to the wqys and
means committee to he printed, ac-
cording to custom.
