sible.. of i.e......._ 3 M °°“ ,,,‘;”'2{§,§;“i.,°2"§,§§,,f,.,,,“,,;'§,‘i‘;. .‘.’,.,. His Tact and Popularity are
tory. One day an old negro. stopping to wipe the perspiration from his face. looked over to where Bowers was _working and causally remarked:
f'Marse Duke, what fo’ you workin’
down here with us nlggers; youse got too much sense."
“A fellow won't_get very far these
days." he reasoned, “unless he makes a start. I'm going into the grocery business." » .
And he did. Today, Bowers’ 43 stor-
es sell nearly half the groceries in Memphis, amounting in round figures to about $2,000,000 annually. Not had for a laborer. is it? And yet there are people who will insist that the day of opportunity is`past.
"A man." said Mr. Bowers, pushing
back a stack of correspondence deal- ing with a bill to abolish capital puni- shment n Tennessee, "is just what he makes himself. I would very probab- ly still be piling barrel stares if I hadn‘t decided to get out of the rut I was in and start out for myself.
“But like most young fellows work-
ing on a small salary l was decided- ly short on capital, and capital, you know. is quite necessary to start in business. Then I remember an old friend in Clinton, Ky., Judge Dick Moss., and I saw visions of a $300 loan. But l did better that I expected, I left Clinton with S600 in my pocket.
I started out brimming over with
eniliuslasin. I had it all figured out- the store would pay at least $3000 a year. But the first day`s sales brou- ght lionie to the great truth that there is quite a difference between money on paper and money in the cash till. I had figured on a $10 ilay's business -it was minus that b_v $9.92. But tiiat 8 cents was cash that meant much.
"The merchant who buys for cash
and sells for cash turns over his mon- ey several times while competitors are waiting for theirs to come in. Turning over my money in this way l figured that I could sell for a small- er profit, thus doing both myself and my customer a good iiirii. I adopted the policy of selling iioihing under 12 per cent profit, or nothing over 15 per cent profit.
"These policies were only incident-
al. lf I had not discovered newspap- er advertising. l would still bo strug- gling for a living in that first store instead of having 43.
“lt came about in this way. A few
months after I opened my cash gro- cery in Columbus, Ky.. Charles N. Walker. who used to edit the paper there. showed me it would be to my advantage to take a lialf page ati every week, changing the ad every issue. Common sense told me that there was no use running a business that would save peoplc money unless I told them so, so l signed it six months' contract. It pullcd- so well, in fact that I used to buy 200 extra copies and mail them out over Carlis- le county to see if I coundn't get the farmers to come to Columbus to trade. Pretty soon I became the big- gest advertiser that \Valker had. llalf pages became to small for mc. I began to use pages, and business picked up accordingly. Seeing tho success possible in a cash business pushed by good advertising I sold out to go where-I"‘wouTtFget"groatcr re- sults from my cft`oi'ts. - “Just before starting for Memphis an uncle of mine called me out for a private talk. ‘Dukc," he said, ‘you're not going to Memphis, sure enough. are you?’
"'That is what I am going to do,
Ilncle Em`, I replied. 'I am going down there, and am going into the grocery business right away.‘
"He shook his head sorrowfully and
said: ‘Dukt-, those newspapers will get all the money you've got. Charlie Walker has been making more out of your business than you have.'
"Well, the newspapers have gotten
a lot out of me, but my greatest rc- tlret is that I didn’t let them have more-."` ,
“Then you believe in advertising?"
Mr. Bowers was asked.
“I'm not merely a believer in ad-
vertising," was his prompt rejoinder, "l'ni almost a fanatic on the subject. I firmly believe if l had only spent half as much for advertising as I have spent I \voiildii't bc worth halt' as much as l am worth. Fiirtheriiiore, I ani cniiviiiced that lf I had boon foresight- ed enough to spend twice as nnicli for advertising as I have spent that l would be worth more than twice what I am worth."
Naturally such a strong statement.
even from a man who has made i-i fortune and whose page ads have ap- peared rcgularly for the last twclvc yoars, would startle some grocers who think of a six-inch column ad as being big. But it must be remember- ed that Bowers believed in doing things in an unusual way. Perhaps tiiat is why lic was an unusual succ- OSS.
ills ads arc so full of human inter-
est that you can't resist reading tliom. He is a great believer in impressing it point upon the newspaper readers in a pcrtincnt way. Here is an illust- ration. lt was rumored by conipeti- tors that the reason Bowers made such prlt-ns was because he skimped on measure.
“l could sell just as cheap," his
eompetitorswould say. "ifll only gave you 14 ounces to the pound." _

_ IIII III IHE lilllll WAII
Remarkable.
The following from the New York
World, which has never been prone 'to say complimentary things about British royalty, is as significant as it is interesting:
While the British statesman are
making shreds and tatters of each other's reputation in their public quarrels, King George goes quietly on his way attending to the duties of his position. "playing the game" as far as he himself is concerned with great discretion and wisdom. His popu- larity with his subjects has wonder- fully increased accordlngly, which is all the more remarkable because it was only in March, 1914, that the House of Commons witnessed an out- burst against the sovereign, led by the radical and labor memberla, which had not been known there for nearly a century. It was at the time of the Ulster crisis.
When the war began he kept him-
self in the background except for or- namental occasions, not having the constitutional privilege of his cousin, William II., of being the leader of the army in any sense of the word. It was only after much tactful persua- sion that he obtained permission from Lord Kitchener for the Prince of Wales to remain at the front per- manently. Tho king himself has been with tho troops for only a short visit of a few days last fall. He has re- cently returned from a visit to Ad- miral Jellicoe and the navy.
But not a day passes that he is
not engaged upon his humane labors for the -soldiers, and these are, after all. of no mean imporince in arous- ing loyalty, patriotism and enthusi- asm for the war., The people have Ialso become acquainted with their king through his daily intercourse in a way which before the war would have seemed hardly feasible, since it has meant the removal of many arti- ficial barriers. But King George’s kindly. simple nature has stood the test and the warm sympathy lic has shown for the soldiers has become an asset for the Government.
The royal estate in Scotland at
Balmoral has been in use as a con- valc-scont home for wounded officers for many months, while Windsor (‘astIc and Buckingham Palace are the center of numerous arrangements, charitable in their nature. for the bc- nefit of the soldiers. Beginning early in June. the king. assisted by the queen, began entertaining daily par- ties of convalescent soldiers at lea at Buckingham Palace, twenty mon bc- iug invited for each occasion, many of thcni being allowed to bring along their nurses or their near relatives. Tea is laid out in the gardens with as much careful thought on the part of His Majesty as if he were giving a garden party to the court, and the men rdmain throughoiit thc whole afternoon enjoying the .sunshine and fresh air and talking to the king. For several weeks this hospitality has been supplemented by drives in the royal motors and carriages, as King George has ordered that the royal mewrbe devoted to this purpose as much as possible. Parties are made. iip every day at thc different London hospitals, ami Sir Charles Fitzwilliam, the crown equcrry. ihid Capt. Benbaw, superintendent of the mews, solid around motor brakes or carriages to take the klngls guests into the coun- try. w
Tho officials of the royal household,
whose business it is to follow the king's example, have been inviting thc soldiers .to their country places for convalesccnce whore hospital treat-
ment was not necessary.
One of the most important chari-
table projects iii which the king is in- terested is out at Roehanipton, where a large residence, Roehampton House, has been fitted up for the soldiers and sailors who have lost limbs in the war. The old custom was to dis- charge auch men from the liospltal after the amputation and scnd the artificial limb after them. Of course. not being properly fitted, they were generally mistlts and frequently were useless. Early in the war an appeal was made for a different method in treating those unfortunate men. and the result is now seen at Roehampton Ilouse, whore the llmhloss sailors and soldiers are sent to be fitted by the most export makers of artificial limbs. Fifty thousand dollars was granted from the Prince oi’ Wales Fund. the War Office, the Red Cross and other orlraiilzations made donations and King George and Queen Mary gave generously from their private purses. They make frequent visits to the men in the rounds which they take among
the hospitals almost every day.
PATRIOTISM.

The East will naturally take care of itself. but the enormous demands of the Western Provinces roccho throughout tho Dominion and iiclp must come from all quarters. "Save the Country ‘by Saving its Crops." Cnada must supply more pro- ducts and foodstuffs than ever before -all available help is necessary to ac- complish this.

TALK ABOUT FEET
SIR IAN HAMILTON.
ly.)
Sir lan Hamilton suS80Bl9 the 7°'
mance of war. in temperament anti appearance he is the cavalier. Bild very little effort of the imagination ll needed to picture him fighting a for- lorn battle for the hopeless Stuart cause.
He is without the tragic serious-
ness of Montrose, perhaPB Wm‘°“t .int depth .ma intensity that sive Montrose sa lndurlng a hold on the imagination; but it is the eDil`Il» °f Montrose that he recalls in his minSI- ing oi' the poet and the adventurer. and if there is any dlslfilil- °f him M all, it proceeds from the pedestrian fear that a man who looks so much like an embodiment of romance can- not at the same time possess the hum- drum qualities of the organizer of victory.
Now Sir lan Hamilton has not only
committed the fatal error of publish- ing poetry. but he carries in every lineament the lmpess of the poet and of the nian of romantic ancestory and taste, He ig the painter’s soldier. and with his ian square figure. his mobile. aristocratic features and dark eyes. gives thc impression that his main functions in life is to adorn the walls of the Royal Academy and then to die an heroic death on behalf of some mistaken loyalty, and with a cavalier jest upon his lips.
And. indeed. there is no doubt that
the natural instinct of the man is a chivalrous intrepidity rather than a calculating caution. The withered hand and wrist serve as a reminder of that. For _they are a souvenir of that memorable day, thirty YCBYS B150. when tho young lieutenant of the Ninety-second lligliiandcrs shared in the disaster of Majuba Iiill, and gave the first conspicioiis expression of the stuff that was in hlin.
But though he has the Iilghlander's
love of the charge, it would be a pro- found mistake to rcgari him simply as a brilliant adventurer of the battle field. Ile is that. but he is more than that. When Lord Roberts, not long before his death. was asked whom a- mong tlie generals of the British :irmy he regarded as the ablcst ccomniaiider in the field. he replied, “ian llninllton.' The judgment was disputable. but not indefeiisiblc; and it was founded not on Hamilton`s aiidacit_v,but on his knowledge and on his cioinoss in fli- rectinlr the complex movcnicnis oi’ thc battle field.
Like Gena-ral Frencli. I-.o has oceti a
scriciis student of war all his liic. As a youth he went to Gcriiiuny, and from the old llauovcrian. General Dam- mors_ acquired the strategy that hail inadc thc i'r\issians tho military n as- tcrs of lduropc. And since then he has learned to r.pul_v and qualify that science by thc actual .-xp:-ri;-,rice of war in many fields-in india. in EGY- pt, in South Africa.
The operations in Gallipoli are as
formidable as any iliat a military commander has ever had to t`acc.'l`hey call t'or daring, t`or swift inspiration. but they call also for caution and calm judgment. On the first gate of Busyrane there was inscribed the
words. "Beboldi" on the second, "BQ bold and ever more bold;" on the third “Be not too bcId." Those are the in. visible inscriptions on the gates of the Dardaneiles. There is confidence that Sir ian Hamilton has the vision to seo _them and undersand their mingled warning and challenge.

OLD MAN SOLD " POSTCARDS AMID
RUINS OF ARRA3,
PARIS. Aug 14.- Mr. Emile Vim.
dervelte. Belgian Minister of Stale, writes; I have just visited what re. _mains of Arras and Soissons, along the Aisne scarpe. Of Arras-like aim some of the first-line trenches, Nlqu. port and Ypros-nothing remains but a heap of debris. The City Hall. that gem of medieval architecture. has un. dergone the most grievous mutilg. tion. In many streots not a house re. mains intact.
Arras had before the war 26,000 ln.
habitants. There are now 120. in s small shop near the City Hall I found a little old man cheerfully selling tim. eral cards and post cards depicting the ruins. The bombardment continu- es daily. Most of the people are living in cellars. I
At Soiasons I was entertained by a
general at tea' and at breakfast i- the cellar, Bombs continually pass over Solssons in the direction of Arras.
The Allied troops constantly are
busy expanding and strengthening At certain places the hostile lines are within sixty feet of each other. When not exchanging shots and grenades, tho soldiers enjoy the interval of com- parative caini during which newspap- ers weighed with stones are thrown from one trench to another.
One day a dog crossed to the French
lines hearing the message: “Please tell Corporal -- that his wife and children at Lens are well, and send their love.
Quarries on the Ai-sne have been
transformed by the use of cement in- to veritable fortresses. i saw a six- incli shell fail on the cement roof in a quarry without the slightest dam- age, Everywhere among the allied troops I found absolute confidence of final victory.
PROOF OF DEVOTION.
