BACK TO SCHOOL
In a few short days Shamrock boys and girls, large and
small, will be trooping back to school, the joyous, carefree days
of summer over. Some will go eagerly, their faces alight with
the desire for knowledge. Others will go with lagging feet
mindful of the onerous tasks before them.
Could they know now what in after life they will realize
all too well, all would be actuated by the same wish to imprpve
their minds. They would understand that an education is more
to be valued than much gold.
This is the age of specialization. More and more must
man be equipped in some particular branch of knowledge in order
to successfully fight the battles of life. And there is no better
place to lay the foundation for a practical education than in the
public schools.
SOMETHING TO LEARN
In most respects the United States is far ahead of other
countries. In science and invention Americans lead the world.
All the nations of the earth envy this country her wealth. But
there is one thing in which the United States might well be guid-
ed by other nations, and that is in meting out justice to the
criminals.
We read in the papers of the conviction of some criminal
by a jury and of his being sentenced by the court. We watch
the papers in vain as month after month passes by for the news
that the sentence has been carried out. It often happens, if the
offender has money, or wealthy friends, he can employ clever and
unscrupulous lawyers and obtain a new trial on the ground of
some trivial technicality. Thus the case drags on until the public
has forgotten what the man is being tried for and he eventually
goes free. Such a procedure is far too frequent.
In most European countries the instruments of justice arc
swift and sure. Too swift sometimes, it is true. But Hie fact
remains that in all of England there are not as many murders
committed in a year as in one large city of the United States.
The prospect of certain and severe punishment is the most prac-
tical deterrent of crime.
Miss Thelma Riley of the Locust
Grove community and Allan Blake
of this city were united in marriage
last Sunday afternoon at Wellington,
Rev. B. J. Osborn. Methodist pastor,
officiating.
The bride is the popular and
charming daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
C. H. Riley of the Locust Grove
community. She has lived in that
community many years and has taken
a prominent part in church, school
and social activities.
The groom is the son of Mr. and
Mrs. John Blake. He has been rear-
ed in this city sfnd has a wide circle
of friends. He is associated with his
father in the building and contracting
business.
Mr. and Mrs. Blake will make their
home here.

RETAIL ADVERTISING TEST
Texas business men were told re-
cently of the value of the local news-
paper as “the best advertising med-
ium.” Speaking before the United
Merchants’ Association of Texas,
meeting at San Antonio, Pryor Irwin,
retail counselor and university busi-
ness lecturer, said:
“Advertising is the biggest prob-
lem any merchant has in his store.
The local newspaper as an advertis-
ing medium is the best bet on a
solution of the problem.
“A store without customers is no
good to a merchant; customers can
be had only through newspaper ad-
vertising. In order to get quick re-
sults in advertising the merchant
must study the requirements of his
copy.
"There are five tests which the
merchant must apply to his advertis-
ing. First, it must be seen, and this
depends upon placing the advertise-
ment in the correct medium and in
preparing it correctly,
“Then the advertisement must be
read, and when it is read it must be
believed. Hie merchant must win
and keep the confidence of the pub-
lic. Through advertising the mer-
chant must build up a place for him-
self in the public consciousness, so
that the public will remember him
when it wants to buy. The last test
of a good advertisement is the ac-
tion resulting, that is, whether the
customer buys.”

No Feet To Spare
A motor car ran over a man’s
toes, and he sued the driver for
damages.
“Great Scott!” gasped the driver.
“You want $200 for a damaged foot?
I’m not a millionaire.”
“Perhaps you ain’t,” replied the
victim, “ and I ain’t no centipede,
either.” From the San Francisco
Chronicle.
Mr. and Mrs. Matt Lewis and two
children returned home Wednesday
night from a vacation trip to Colo-
rado Springs and Denver, Colo.

AFTER SEVEN YEARS
In the early hours of Tuesday morning Nicola Sacco and
Bartolomeo Vanzetti, alien Reds, paid the penalty for the mur-
der of a paymaster and his guard at South Braintree, Mass.,
seven long years ago. A legal fight unprecedented in the an-
nals of American courts was waged for the lives of these men
and following their execution, riots were staged in all parts of
the world.
But the law of Massachusetts had its way. Governor Fuller
stood firm as a adamant in his refusal to grant a stay of execu-
tion, and the foreign horn radicals surrendered their lives in
expiation of their crime.
It may appear differently to other people, hut the native
American fails to see where the foreigner has the right to com-
mit murder on American soil and hope to escape the toils of the
law. Because they were Reds other Reds seemed to think that
Sacco and Vanzetti should lie immune from punishment.
Governor Fuller of Massachusetts is to he commended on his
unwavering stand, despite pleas, threats and riots, in the Sacco-
Vanzetti case. Where a weaker man might have faltered, he
stood firm that the ends of justice might he served. America
needs more of his kind.

Living Room Furniture
At It’s Best—
Modern furniture makers strive for three things in designing furniture—Comfort,
Beauty and Durability. This has not always been so. Some famous furniture makers
of other periods achieved elegance, others fragile beauty and still others unusual dura-
bility. Very few sought to build comfort into their furniture.
•
Today we are able to offer Living Room Furniture that combines to the utmost degree
luxusious comfort, unusual beauty of desigi and durability through the use of the
highest grade materials. And all this at prices that enable you to furnish your home
as even the most wealthy of the past decade were not able to do.
