of the new government. He is of and
for Denison. He believe# firmly that
there are groat possibilities for good
under the new charter and he I# will-
ing to undertake the work of getting
the necessary machinery In inotioD.
With two good men to assist him as
commissioners the Herald feels that
he will meet the requirements of the
aituatioo la every detail and that
when his admil«t ration shall hare
come to an end Denison will be found
to have made substantial progress tn
the march tp the forefront and toward
the position which she should rightly
occupy among the towns of the state.
Oryd big railroad wreck is hardly
forgotten before another equally as

A picture of that book and ladder

JAMES HAVEN FOR MAYOR.
In this issue *>£ the Hers:A appears
the uukouaccment of Mr. J amen P.
Usee* u n candidate for mayor at.
the cnsUnc city election.
Mr. Harem has beta at the lore-

do something substantial for-the town
Of fcl eativity.
Mr. Haven steadfastly refused to
entertain tho idea of running nnd has
labored Culturally with others In try-
iacdo secure a strictly representative
ticket. Onoobstaclc after another has
presented itself and efforts to secure
a ticket such as was felt would typify
tha Irishes of-those who toted so Over-
whelmingly lot the new; form of gov-
ernment hsve failed from one cause or
another. ... V?j
The situation has finally reaolsbd
itself Into • proposition where Mr.
Haven's friends foci that he owes it
to himself and our people to make
the personal pacriflco la order, ta In-
sure the placing of the new form of
government on the best possible basis
undl where it .will bo In tho hands of
me^ who are friendly to the commis-
sion form ot government, nnd after
urgent solicitation ha has finally con-
sented to allow the use of his namo
ss a candidate for mayor.
James P. Haven la too well known
to the people of Denison to require
any extended introduction nt the
hands of the Herald. He haft been
reared in this city and his life Is an
open book, Blncodie has engaged In
the practice of law he bns taken an
active Interest In every movement
that had for Its purpose the advance-
ment of Denlaon's best. interests. Ho
ts a young man of splendid ability and
attainments and Is u tireless worker.
Ho labored faithfully for tho adop-
tion of a commission form of govern'
Oient for Denison, believing It to af-
ford an opportunity for placing tho
municipal affairs f Denison on a good
business basis. As soon as tho elec-
tion was over, and In fact while It
wae pending, ho secured copies of dlf
ferent charters and began the prepar-
ation of the ground work for a new
charter for the city. When tho Joint
committees canio together this draft
of a charter was used as a working
basis and the labors of the committee
greatly simplified und expedited. As
toon as the charter had been ratified
by the committees and the mass meet-
ing of citl/ens he took It to Austin.
Through his efforts it was introduced

A community that undertakes to
build good roads extending out In
every direction is one that la going
to reap results in the way of increased
trade aa^S more pleasant relations with
the people of tho country. It Is a
work of development that makes for
the growth and prosperity of both
town sad country.
The members of the legislature
might as well make up their minds to
tho fact that there are newspapers In
this state which are perfectly willing
to help keep the record straight and to
critic! o when crlUcism seems to be
needed. Of course this is not going
to he particularly pleasant for awhile
but tbey will get used to It.

WHAT EASTER SUQQE&T8 TO OUR COLD-HEARTED CARTOONIST.
Idea that the newspaper that Is con-
tinually pulling for the town Is enti-
tled to Buch patronage. And it ts ap-
preciated. If the money that is sent
away for printing was given to the
Herald It would help In a large meas-
ure in giving the city a better news-
paper.—Palestine Herald.
The Herald Is pleased to note that
the hard work of its Palestine name-
sake Is being appreciated by the peo-
ple of that town and that they are
showing their appreciation In a practi-
cal way. Too often a newspaper Is ex-
pected to do thla town boosting and
money for printing goes elsewhere.
HERALD ECHOES
The Importance of utilizing our In-
terior water ways Is Impressing our
people more and more. Tho Beau-
mont Enterprise says:
The view of the Manufacturers' Re-
tord that tho Improvement of the in-
land waterways of the country will be
a positive benefit to the railroad sys-
tems la somewhat new, but tho argu-
ment Is well made and Is wholly rea-
sonable. The railroads aro today un-
able to cope with the amount of traffic
furnlahed them and as a result many
lines of business are becoming de-
moralized on account of Inability to
either ship or receive goods promptly.
If a certain amount of this pressure
can be removed and the railroads re-
lieved of the strain, transportation
will again assume normal conditions.
Otherwise, paradoxical as It may
seem, the present freight congestion
nnd damaging and exasperating delays
will become the normal, prompt and
satisfactory service being the excep-
tion to the rule.
We would like to see Some member
of tho Texas Legislature Immortalize
himself by Introducing a measure pro-
viding for the teaching of agriculture
In our public schools. Agriculture la
tho backbone of the nation, yet we
have done and are doing but little for
Its advancement. Is farming such a
trifling occupation. Is It so simple that
any Ignoramus can farm successfully?
Surely not. The fact that tho most
successful farmers of today are those
who know more about plants and
plant-life and soils, proves that much
profit would come to us If otir farm
era knew more about their work, Our
Agricultural and Mechanical college
and experiment station has done great
work for Texas farmers, but. It Is only
the favored few who can avail them-
selves of the privileges of attending
this worthy Institution. Teach ftgrl
culture In the public schools and all of
our people w-IU have an equal opportu-
nity,—Sulphur Springs Gazette.

One of the moat important battera In
thla country today is thfc Improvement
of the Interior atreama which are aus-
ceptlble of being navigated. It means
not only relief to the tributary country
In the way of reduced freight rates
but it means additional means ot
handling freight, and that Is some-
thing which the paat few months has
shown to be an absolute necessity.
Such a commission aa that appointed
by the President can have supervl
slon over all the projects and be In
a position to materially advance every
Interest. It la a good movement.—
Denison Herald.
If the commission only accomplishes
a few of the things that It is possible
for It to accomplish. Its appointment
will bo the means of solving many of
the problems of vital interest to the
peopled—Fortr-Worth Record.

The man who can read has sense a
plenty to catch the force of thla con-
cise statement of a very material fact
by the Denison Herald: "No man
ever yet knew all there waa to know
about any particular buaineas and
whenever a man reaches the point
where he thinks be knows It all hs
simply gives notice of hla own weak
neas. It is the man who la alwaya

JUST AS IMPORTANT AS KEEPING THE STORE OPEN.
There are two ways of looking at advertising, both of them right.
Advertising should bo done during the dull tlmo for the purpose of
stirring up trade at that time and also for the sake of the benefit
which will come from being continually before the public eye.
A man should juat as quickly think of stopping his advertisements
In the summer or in the dull time after the holidays as ho should
think of closing up his store several months in the year and keeping
it open only when trade would keep him busy. \
R does not take people very long to forget things, and if a store
were closed up four months or the advertising stopped four months a
great many people would have forgotten that the bualnesa was in
existence.
The other view of advertising is that it ought to be pushed during
the busy time when the pedple are ready to buy.
Advertising cannot be expected to sell goods when people don't
want them, and It will be naturally most effective when It gives pub-
licity to some desirable article at just the right time. To be sure,
• advertising wllj sell anything at any time If the price be made low
enough and the advertisement sufficiently attractive. Some lines of
goods can be, forced, and some cannot,-but even thoae which cannot

The Denison Herald and State Press
are still talking the split-log drag.
There Isn't any doubt about it being a

The editor of the Chronicle should
not be skeptical. The drag Is being

HOW TO ADVERTISE |M ROCERY.
The grocer who does not advertiae la unambltloua, negligent or
foolishly fearful. It. Is absurd for you to think there la no good way
to advertise your store because of certain conditions or atore location.
There are excellent waya to advertise sny food atore or department
now running. ^ '
There are too maay good things to tell about s nice grocery for
you to keep silent—little things and big things that all people don't
demand from you. buf'srtkloh ff g|Ven out will add several per cent to
your store's present good standing.
The principal points about a grocery to dwell upon in general
talks. Introductorles of ads, etc., are the cleanliness of store and
stocks, freshness, completeness and purity of gooda, and their quail*
1; ties which give them favor and preference over other brands. Theae
with vour money saving possibilities are of firat consideration.
Next Irf Importance Is tile delivery service: capable clerka and
help In aervlng cuatomera, getting and filling ordera quickly and cor-
rectly. '
The general grocery store has nearly as many "leadera to men-
tion as has the general department store. The average department
stores have "stories" and special "reasons" for bargain sales. Because
the average groceryman's shelves are not cleared so quickly and fre-
quently—for other reasons, too—he hasn't IJbife'' stories for every big
i I sale, for simple reasons ot Wiahlng to keep atpek fresh and being able

If the good roads movement now
prevailing. ,, throughout the United
Btates continues at Its present white
heat of enthualasm but a while longer,
indications are that we will have one
of the best highway system In the
world. One of the legislators of
Pennsylvania declared before a recent
good roads meeting in that atate that
the legislature was ready to pass any
law the meeting mlrfht propose that
would better the condition of the
roads of the state. Some brave spir-
its of Texas, undaunted by the magnl
tude of the undertaking, will no donbt
succeed In bringing about a better con'
dltlon of highways In Texas, If enthus-
iasm and work count for anything.—
Bynum Times. 4
No country has reached the full
measure of its civilization until It haa
good roads, and no country can attain
to a high standard of civilization until
It pays attention to Its road building.
/One of the greatest glories of the Ro-
man empire was its magnificent roads,
the ruins of which stand today as a
monument to the high grade of work
manahlp expended in the construction
of these necessary adjuncts to the
comfort of the people aAd the glory of
the nation. Happily, the United
States is taking a great Interest In
road building, and the result of such
effort must be beneficial. In -Texas
the Interest In good roads"Is spreading,
and because of the constant preaching
of some of the newspapers, In season
and out of season, the frulta are be-
coming manifest. Texas Is a big
state, but If every citizen does his duty
she-can have a fine system ot public
roads.—Fort Worth Record.
When Jennie Sheffield returned from
the normal school, she waa observed to
be very despondent Something was
preying on ber mind, but the closeat
cross examination of her father failed
to bring out what waa troubling her.
She went about aa one In a dream.
Nothing interested her. She might
have been courted by young people of
her own aet, for ahe waa pretty, Intel-
ligent and generally attractive, but
abe declined to have anything to do
With any of them.
Under advice of a physician Mr.
Sheffield made preparations to give
Jennie a change of scene. He deter-
mined to take his family abroad, to be
gone two yeara. From the moment the
trip was announced Jennlo'a despond-
ency Increaaed. She declared that ahe
would not go.- A family council, the
doctor Included, was held, and It was
decided to treat ber as an Invalid,
even as a demented person, and force
ber to the proposed sojourn in foreign
lands, with the expectation that change
of scene would soon 66 away with her
aversion to being away from home and
result in her ultimate recovery.
Passage barf been aecured end all
was ready for the departure When sud-
denly Jennie disappeared. It was
supposed that In order te escape a
tour whlob for some myaterlous reason
she dreaded ahe had gone away to
some relative or friend. All possible
refuges were looked Into, but the girl
was not to be found. Then It wait
feared that her trouble waa Insanity
and that ahe bad committed suicide.
At this point a clew to her atrange
depression wss unearthed1, by corre-
spondence with her former school-
mates. Her roommate revealed the
fact that aha had been in \correspond-
ence With Henry Bmeraon, who during
Jennie's laat year at school had beeu
member of the aenlor class at a
neighboring college. But, If hers waa
case ot unrequited love, why she
would not give It aa a reason tor ber
deapondency ao one could understand.
That aba waa a. very sensitive girl and
extremely conacientioua her parents
were aware, but eenaltiveoeae would,
not account for har morbid condition,
especially for ber dlaappesrance.
Bmeraon waa Invea tigs ted. He ad-
mitted his acquaintance with snd love
for Jennie Sheffield, hot nothing more.
Nevertbeleea be aeemed very much
troubled. • While be Waa' being presaed
for Information be, too, auddenly dis-
appeared. Then Jennie's parents as-
sumed, with good reason, that he waa
the cauae 6f ber trouble, ber atrange
acts and eapeclally her disappearance.
the very day Emcraon waa missed a
man fishing in a lake not far from
where the Sheffield family lived caught

heard of the find and went Immediate-
ly to aee it dreading lest it might he

Little Ethel Is usually sunshine and
sweetneaa embodied, hot, with all her
wlnaomeneas, she has a temper that
often results In dlaaster. She waa
playing with her small neighbor one
day recently,' when a quarrel aroae
concerning a doll. Oracle held fast
to the treaaure, and Ethel, unable to
gain possession, suddenly turned and
left the imprint ot her white teeth on
the plump little arm that encircled the
doll. Then, In a tempest of teara and
passion, she rushed home and sobbed
out her story. A very serious talk
was followed by an unusually early
bedtime for penance and reflection,
and the next morning a small girl
crossed the Btreet, rather dejectedly,
to offer an apology. Oracle chanced
to be the one to open the door, and
her mother, In an adjoining room,
overheard the conversation.
