COMPOUND INTEREST
The trouble with most adver

diate returns of large propor

Illustrates the principle of adver
tising In this way:
"The money txprndeil (or
advertliilnir In tlx mine n
If placed at luterent. The
proflta from the ndvertlilnic
are rlrtanlly the intereat on
the Investment.
'The suras spent for advertising
are properly chargeablo to cap
ital account because the result
ing good will Is something thut
has value, which, If the adver-,

can usually be sold for the face
value of the Investment
"The rate of Interest is deter
mined by the skill with which
the Investment is made.
"Just as the quickest way to
increase invested wealth Is by
compounding the Interest, Just so
the quickest Way ,to Veatiten-4

After a thrilling race for his life Dar
lington Kulp, aged 17, a nephew of ex-
Congressman Kulp, killed a big black
bear in Centre county forests Saturday
morning. Kulp left the lumber ramp
on a hunt for big game, ami about nine
o'clock came acioss a H00 pound black
bear. He hastilv liredoi.eshot at bruin,
wounding him in the leg. Matbicnetl
by the puin the angry animal advanced
on tho young hunter, who after firing
again and missing, took to his heels.
An exciting race ensued, the wounded
bear gaining slowly on his victim.
Young Kulp, expecting every moment
to be in the animal's clutches, loaded
as he ran. When the bear was less
than twelve feet away, ready for tho
final spring, he rose on his hind feet,
and Kulp quickly turning took delib
erate aim and shot the animal through
Beaver Springs the heart,-Mllton Standard.
