Hon. Edgar R. Kiess, proprietor
of the Forest Inn at Eagles Mere
considers an automobile a very fair
substitute for an ice boat. On Fri
day he drove his car over the lake
at that place at a lively pace. The
ice on the lake is about 22 inches
thick and as clear as a crystal, but
not very much of it is being harvest
ed. In previous years large quanti
ties of ice were shipped to various
cities but only the houses of the
hotels ami a few cottages are being
supplied this season.
There is one thing we cannot
figure out. On Tuesday last, the
day set for Bro. Groundhog to
make his first appearance and at
the same time to decide the open
ing day for spring hats and spring
weather, Laporte was enveloped
in a heavy fog so dense that not a
sign of a shadow could be cast by
an elephant. At the same time in
the same county not very far dis
tant the sun peeped through the !
clouds fiercely enough to make Mr.
Woodehuck beat a hasty retreat to
his winter home. Now according
to popular augury the immediate
country is booked for winter long
after the Laportians are parading
in Summer neckties and ice cream.
If this is played on us by old Sol
as a token of his appreciation for
our endeavor to make Laporte an
ideal summer resort we thank his
royal shineship. Anyhow it looks
as though good things come to
those who advertise.

Short Talks on ~ I
Advertising
The first insertion of an advertisement very seldom pays. That is to say—if
you have never advertised before in a certain paper it will take some little time
for its readers to get acquainted with you, and until they do, don't expect much
return. There are occasional exceptions, of course, but they are few and far
between. It is the systematic, persistent effort that pays in advertising as iu
everything else. Iu taking medicine the regularity of the dose is almost as
important as the drug itself.
For that reason the columns of the newspaper offer the very best medium
for business announcements. For that reason,
programs and wall hangers and schemes of all |
sorts, from an industrial write-up i I
of the town to a picture card, are naßooJ r-V-V \-j
never effective. It may be well |pS^| s - \ /
enough to indulge iri a pretty 112 | i» |(j Q} r "
novelty occasionally, if you are J&SI ~ V\\ \H
using all the space you need in |g
I have been a publisher of V A *\\
programs and of other " schemes" .gj .y v'SSf ~ \.
—I have advertised in them, and (JijijSM 6$ •*F H A \
in my whole experience on both BVA. n q j I
sides of the fence, I have never ll I
heard or known of a single adver- | JB I
tisement in a medium (?) of that
kind that paid. "The local nrMsfaper goes into the heme tristling with
, . , intelligence"
The local newspaper goes into
the house bristling with intelligence, brimful of the news of the world, sparkling
with the daily doings of the community.
M 0, W>Y If its advertisers are awake to their oppor-
W/,y $%/<■, tunities it contains business news of value
///'/.■% fy, to every reader, for it pays to read adver
'/'iK tisemcnts. Advertisements are becoming
' 112 t Vjlpjarl x more truthful every day. Business men
LMm., : , know that their news must be true, or it
BfeggSßJy- w j>jr- will fail—they remember the story of the
BSjag" ■ =3 \ ' boy and the wolf. I think it is safe to say
that any woman who makes a business
I VUj $ ||hm JjmmSSt of reading business news—ads.—will in-
Mm~rtr i.,Yg crease the buying power of her husband's

SUMMARY OF PROCEEDINGS
HELD IN WILLIAMSPORT.
Before Jiulge Onnerod Monday
afternoon appeared Messrs. Candor
and Munson, representing the West
Philadelphia Title and Trust com
pany and asking that a receiver be
appointed lor the Eagles Mere Kail
road company. The Railroad had
been ordered sold by the attorney
general in order to pay back taxes
but it is believed that the execution
of the writs will be stayed if speedy
action toward making a settlement
is made. Attorneys for the plain
tiffs asked for a receiver in order
that certain sums of money can be
collected from the Williamsport
and North Branch Railroad com
pany, which it is claimed owes the
Ragles Mere company for rentals,
etc. Judge Onnerod after hearing
the statements of counsel made an
order appointing 11. Loussat Geye
lin, receiver of the road.
The officials of the Williamsport
and North Barnch Railroad Com
pany state that the W. & N. B.
is not in default for rental, claim
ing that the money had been paid
when due and used for other in
debtedness by the Eagles Mere
Railroad Company.
The bond of 11. Laussat (ieyelin
receiver, was filed Wednesday,
j The receiver will at once begin
I action against the Williamsport
and North Branch 1 ail road com
pany to recover back rentals for
the road, under the lease which ex
ists. When this is done a stay will
be asked for in the matter of the
executions issued by the state for
i taxes. The receiver does not take
i possession of the road which is
held by the North Branch line un
der the lease.
