Hickman, Ky.—The levees at Hickman held last night, but three
"plow outs" on the west Hickman iavee warned the engineers that it could
not stand much more strain. The Inhabitants of the lowlands back of this
levee, including about 2,000 working people, were ordered today to get
to higher ground as soon as possible, because the embankment might
give way at any time. The refugees immediately began moving to the
hills high above Hickman.

and sandbagging the Reel Foot Levee, today expressed the belief that
the work would stand the strain of the water. The Reel Foot Levee
protects many acres of the rlghest farming country in the south, and
when this levee went out last year a million dollars damage was caused.

What Kind of
Spender Are
V o u?
“Eat, drink, and be merry, for
tomorrow we die,” causes more
suffering and pain than the high
cost of living ever will.
There is a world of misery in
this small quotation, which ex
presses the too frequent opinion
of the uncertainty of the future
and the needs of the present.
Poor circumstances are fre
quently the result of poor
spending. In order to save, you
must spend your money wisely
making every penny tell; buy
ing good goods, not cheap goods
buying at the right time and in
the right place. This is the sen
sible way to effective saving.
You can buy well and save
money by reading daily, and
profiting by the advertisements

Violations of Law on “Extra
ordinary Scale” Charged By
Commissioner in Report.
7.000 TRIPS ON ONE ROAD
IN COLORADO IN A MONTH
All Classes Joined in Orgy of
Petty Graft. Demoralizing
Result. Oriminal Indictments
Washington —lnvestigation by Com
missioner Harlan, of the Interstate
commerce commission, Into tho prac
tice of Colorado railroads of giving
free transportation has brought sen
sational resußs. Criminal indict
ments of largo shippers and tho of
fending carriers have been returned.
Commissioner Harlan personally
conducted an Investigation and In bis
own characterization of tho situation
ho "developed violations of the law
on an extraordinary scale.”
Mr. Harlan said In a preliminary
report handed down today that In
one month over a single railroad 7,-
000 trips were made on passes. Not
only shippers who controlled routing
of traffic In an appreciable quantity
were favored at all times, but even
public officials, careless alike of duty,
morals and danger, accepted, even
demanded, these favors of the carri
ers.
All Classes.
"The record shows that Judge, state
officials, members of thel eglslature,
county and municipal officers, in
cluding mayors and aldermen, have
very generally made use of passes.
Not only baa this been the case, but
the record shows that where passes*
were not volunteered they were asked
for by public officials. Evn Judges
have not hesitated to pursue this
course. Personal requests by Judges
upon carriers for passes are disclosed
by the record, accompanied by ex
pressions of their sense of obligation
for such favors granted to them both
before and after they went on the
bench.
Legislature and Bench.
“All classes joined In the orgy of
petty graft, at once sacrificing right
ful revenue of the carriers, discrimi
nating against all small shippers and
demoralizing all public officials, in
cluding the legislature and the bench. ’
Commissioner Harlan says that the
Colorado carriers have given assur
ance that they will conform their
future practice* to the rulings of the
commission In pass matters. The re
port does notd inclose what further
steps may be taken of other violations
of law uncovered in course of the in
vestigation but a final report Is prom
ised to make clear the views of the
commission in this fraudulent traffic
tri transportation.

MAN-TKLK TO MEN
By J. R.TtA MILTON I
Former- Advertising Manager Wanamaker'a, Philadelphia.
(Copyrighted.)
SINCE THE beginning of organized society ev
erything without a name lias ended with a
question mark. The very reason why marriage
itself has been able to maintain so much sentiment
amongst civilized races is that it gives to our chil
dren a name.
There Is no virtue in a name itself, except that it throws the light
of investigation upon whatever thnt name stands for.
Now the object of this article is simply to get you to remember
the names of the articles you buy or at least the names of the people
you buy them from. Be ause that is the only way of Increasing good
business methods In Oils city.
It this last twenty years business men have discovered a new
method of establishing a name. They do It through advertising.
Now again there Is no special virtue In advertising except that
It does two things. First, It sells goods cheaper, because It sells more of
them. And second, 11 shorten the time that It formerly took to estab
lish a name. There are Just as honest business men who do not adver
tise as there are who do. That Is not the point. The point Is that they
are not as good business men and that you do not have any way of
telling whether they are honest or not.
Now there are a great many advertise*." In this paper today and
e very day wlm have established for themselves, or for their products,
a good name. There is a lifetime of hard effort attached to the signa
ture of many of these Ads, so you cannot possibly do better than to
read this ndvertlslng for whatever you wish to buy.
Whm a man or a product has an established name, you know
where to go, If the quality does not live up to the guarantee.
So turn to advertising In this paper today; read It, buy from It,
arid you will know that If at any tl:no. the thing you buy isn’t right,
the man with a name will make It right.
