To try is good, but not enough where-

We win by what we do—not by the

'Tis where we stund—not where we

That makes our view.

A mere intent will count for naught,

Detective Force Unto Himself.
AT THE age of twenty-one I was
a college student. Not long after
I began practicing as a country law-
yer In Illinois. I remember I had no
detective force Co help me In my cases.
I had to be ni.v own detective. I had
to go after in.v ,fwn witnesses. I had
lo penetrate ilie mask of delinquent
character In the Interest of public
morals by examining, divining, an-
alyzlng human motive. In this way,
the habit of tracing the personal ele-
ments of private ambition, of revenge
or power in the minds of others be-
came a legal asset.—Lawrence T.
Sherman.
TODAY—Jlr. Sherman has retired
from ottlcial politics and has resumed
his' law practice. He has had > dis-
tinguished political career. At the age
of twenty-eight he was made county
Judge and some years later elected to
the Illinois house of representatives,
becoming speaker of that body. The
lieutenant governorship followed and
then he was elected to the United
Slfftes senate.

'HE YOUNG LADY
ACROSS THE WAY
ELECTION FAILS TO
CHANGE CONSTITUTION
Dallas, August 2.—-The four
proposed amendments to the
constitution of Texas fared ill
at the hands of the small per-
centage of voters Monday.
Incomplete returns tabulat-
ed today showed that with
about 100,000 votes accounted
for, .all of the amendments hac^
been defeated, by about three
to one.
The amendment which pro-
posed to change the system of
taxation, whereby state and
county taxes were separated,
apparently attracted the most
attention, and was most hear-
tily opposed.
The proposed change in the
judiciary system, which its ad-
vocates declared would permit
a speedier handling of cases in
courts, received most favor-
able consideration at the hands
of the voters, but was lost.
Interest in the amendment
which^would have abolished
the payment of fees to certain
county officers, and that which
would have permitted raising
the Governor's salary to $10,-
000 a year, and fix the pay of
legislators at not exceeding
$1,500 a year, second to attract
about the same amount of at-
tention, both for and against.
Dallas, August 2.—Incom-
plete returns from 179 out of
253 counties emphasize the
overwhelming defeat of the
four constitutional amend-
ments submitted at yesterday's
election.
The totals so far are:
Judiciary: For, 20,245;
Against, 76,668.
Taxation: For, 11,793;
Afgainst, 85,629.
Fee Abolition: For, 16,516;
Against, 80,284.
Salary Increase: For, 15,553 j
Against, 78,980.

EACH SCHOOL DAY
IS WORTH $9.25
The young lady across the way says

The Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington has tabu-
lated some statistics which may
prove of benefit to the parents
of boys and girls of school age
who are determined not to re-
sume their pursuit of education
in the fall. Each day spent in
the school room is worth in dol-
lars and cents, approximately
$9.25 in the case of farmers.
This idea that the more educa-
tion the farmer has, the more,
money he makes, was decided
after surveys in twelve widely
separated states.
The exact momentary gain
was arrived at by taking $20,-
000 as the total earnings of an
uneducated laborer over a per-
iod of forty years and $40,000
as the total earnings of a high
school graduate who spent
twelve years of approximately
180 days each in acquiring
training. The gain in wages,
$20,000, due to those 2,160
days of school, represent a
value of $9.25 each day during
the period in the schoolroom.
Specific examples are taken
frorp farmers in Georgia. The
net annual profits of those
without any education was
found to average $240, wtiile
those with a common school
training, earned $565.50, high
school graduates, $664.50, and
those who completed the agri-
culural college course earned,
$1,254. Those who had only
a short course earned three
times as much as those with no
education at all.

Advertising
Pays You!
Adverting brings millions
at reasonable prices, com-
forts and convenientes
which without advertising
would be luxuries that only
a few could enjoy.
«' „
America is an advertising
nation. This is one reason
why the man with moderate
means here enjoys more
comforts than most wealthy
men abroad.
Because thousands on thou-
sands of people ask for a
certain article by the same
name, which they have read
in the same advertisements
it is possible for the adver-
tiser to sell this item at a
minimum of effort.
%
It is therefore possible to
manufacture and distribute
this product at a saving
which you share with the
advertiser.

When you figure the
ber of these items in your
daily life built by advertis-
ing, you can appreciate that
advertising does pay you.
