Kinds of Products
Advertising Can Sell
First, the product that offers some new and better
way of meeting human wants. For such a product
advertising offers the cheapest, quickest means of
finding those people who will appreciate the advant
ages the new product offers!
Second, the product with hidden values that escape
the consumer’s untrained eye. For such a product
advertising can educate the buyer until he becomes
a discriminating purchaser.
Third, the product which—in lucid moments—its
owner will admit is no. belter than others of its kind.
For such a product advertising can-create a personal
ity that will make it stand out from competing prod
ucts like the one lighted house in a row of dark ones.
Which kind pf product is yours? Have you
<T learned to use advertising to its needs?

who had grown to the full stature
of manhood in Christ, Jesus; a
who always answered “here -1
man
to the call of his leader in Chris
tian service; a man too big for the
petty things that hinder and with
a vision clear enough to see the
shining good ahead, and the cour
age to go forward; a man who
rejoiced in the honor which oth
ers won; a man in whose eyes
every one was his brother and
his sister.
a Second: That the community
has lost an inspiration and a
friend; a builder and a brother;
a co-worker with every leader
who strove for community better
ment.
■ Third: That thethost of friends
tyho, in some measute tried to ex
press their love through flowers,
are richer, because he lived among
us and because of his noble exam
ple of Christian living, Christian
loving and Christian giving.
u Love and tenderness will cher
ish the spot where his body sleeps,
I but no extravagant devotion can
ever erect so stately a monument
to his memory as the daily deeds
of his life have lifted in the
hearts of those who knew him
best.
U His faith in God and his fellow
man helped warm the sunshine in
his own soul.—No clouds of doubt
ever swept across the blue of his
faith; no storm ever tossed the
frail bark of his life that he did
not remember that the Master
Pilot was at its helm.
if By silent communion with the
matchless Teacher the lips that
once faltered in timid prayer
learned the eloquence of the Spir
it.
His sincerity of soul made
him approach every one as a
friend. His very presence of op
timistic cheer was a silent rebuke
to the cynic and the critic.
“If a man of wisdom spoke cor
rectly when he said that ‘at five
we have theface that—God—gave
us; at fifty the face we made
ourselves,’ then surely none can
doubt the nature of the thoughts
that put a sparkle in the eyes and
a perpetual smile about the lips
of Mr. Patterson.
a If no ray of sunshine is
ever
lost; if no melody ever ceases to
vibrate, then surely the cordial
warmth of his genial smile, the
twinkle of his eyes and the mer-
ry laughter of his honest, boyish
heart, will live on and on in the
hearts of those who loved him.
When, for the last time .before
that altar where he gladyl min
istered Sabbath after Sabbath,
he lay surrounded by beautiful
flowers, the fragrant messengers
of God, how our hearts thrilled
to hear, “I am the resurrection
and the life.’
u From the heart of every rose
and the gorgeous rainbow of
flowers that breathed their per
fume o’er his silent form, there
echoed the silent song of the
resurrection, and the glorious an
them of eternal life.
■ If the tiny uncomely seed can
burst the earthen sod above, lift
to the light of heaven is form of
exquisite beauty, is it any wonder
that we cry with ecsatic faith
‘that it doth not yet appear what
we shall be,’ ‘but I know that
when he shaH appear I shall be
like him.’
(4 The task here has been fin
ished and the victory won; but
the love and laughter of hope and
faith sown in the heart of his
fellow men shall bloom fresher
and fairer as the years go by.
.. To the daughter, who has not
only been a crowning joy to his
life, but whose own life, as it has
poured itself out in matchless
melody and song, has made the
world about her richer for her
music, we wish to offer our ten
derest love and sympathy, our
prayers and our tears, in this
hour of loneliness.
“To the wife who crowned his
life with rarest fulfilment, and
the glorious bounty of noble, cul
tured, Christian womanhood, we
offer the strength of our faith,
the courage of our hope and the
comfort of our prayers, and the
assurance of the promises that
‘through suffering we become fel
low heirs with Him,’ for ‘he that
believeth on me shall never die.’ ft

Go-as-Y ou-Please Spelling
We sometimes fancy that strictly
correct spelling has been turned
into a fetish. Spelling is largely
a knack after the first tearful steps
have been taken up the slopes of
our English Parnasse. The letters
come by a sort of instinct. They
dance merrily into the right order
of themselves. If some good people
never can spell with pedantic ac
curacy, does It matter so verv
lrmch? “Olr slie^knew weH; Thy
love did read by rote and could not
spell.” To he an immaculate spell
er is like being a copper-plate cal
igraphist. But it remains one of
the-minor accomplishments at best.
Some of the best letters have been
Dispell. It is the matter that
counts.—London Telegraph.
Ants Sensitive to Sound
If they have no ears, ants can
perceive vibrations. Tut ants on a
table and tap the surface lightly
with the finger. Every ant gives a
quick start. So sensitive are they
that the dropping of a tiny bird
shot from a height of only six
inches onto the surface of the table
was seen to make every one - of
scores of ants give a convulsive
perk.
Ants never sleep. They work
from birth to death in a land of
darkness and silence. Their strength
is prodigious; and (heir powers of
vitality are equally amazing, for in
spite of their good appetites ants
have been shown to he able to live
and work for from 50 to 300 days
without food.
Dog-Day Superstitions
An ancient British calendar deal
ing with midsummer problems says:
Newborn children must on no ae
count, during the dog-days, sleep on
bones—not even when hidden be
neath their nurse's lap; and it will
bring fatal bad luck if they be set
to sleep on graves. A deal of super
stition still clings round the baby.
When it takes its first airing abroad,
it Is of highest importance that it
goes upstairs before going down, or
it will never rise In the world. In
rural cottages, blessed with the old
fashioned wooden cradle, the su
perstition clings to it that to rock
the empty cradle Is to rock into it
a new baby.
Silk Worms Weave Dyes
A French scientist has succeeded
in making silkworms wqave dress
dyes into their own output. He is
reported to have injected dyes into
the cocoon and the result was col
ored threads being spun. Not only
the ordinary shades, hut the tones
and hues that are made from com
bining various tints.- are produced

•Early American Theatricals
The first company organized in
America for the presentation of
drama was formed in Philadelphia
in 1749. The first permanent play
house was built there in 17W. A
portion of its walls still stands.
Singer’s Many Charms
Charlotte Henrietta Hnser was a
celebrated singer bom in Leipzig In
1780, the daughter of the director
of music in the university there.
In 1904 she was engaged by the
the Italian opera at Dresden. Her
superior voice, her line execution,
and her attempt to enrnhineethe ad
vantages of the German and the
Italian methods, gave her a bril
liant success. Distinguished for the
correctness of her morals and her
great modesty, she was received
with applause at all the most cele
brated theaters in Italy and Ger
many.—Chicag o Journal.
Lawyer s Attitude
Mrs. Lawyer— Henry, is It better
to lie on the right side or on the

Famous Vice Presidents
John Adams, who received the
second highest number of vote#, be
came vice president In the first and
second administrations. in the
same ray Thomas Jefferson was
elect* vice president in 1786, when
Adams was elected President, and
Aaron Burr took second place in
1800 when Jefferson was elected
President by the house of repre
sentatives. By the twelfth amend
ment to the Constitution, effective
September 24, 1804, the electors
were Instructed to ballot separately
for President and vice president.
George Clinton was the first man
nominated and elected to the office
of vice president, being elected In
November, 1804, when Jefferson was
re-elected President.
Steam-Heated Bird Nest
Steam-heated nests with steam
baths are being used by a pair of
blue birds In Yellowstone park, ac
cording to reports to the national
park service headquarters at Wash
ington. The happy couple have,
however, avoided expensive modern
plumbing and steam fittings. They
have simply taken over one of na
ture’s big steam plants by construct
ing their cosy home In the nearly
extinct Excelsior geyser cone. Every
morning they can be seen darting
in and out of the steam.
Plants are also using the geyser
as a natural greenhouse. Wild
strawberries have been found grow
ing not far from the cone two weeks
ahead of their usual season.
