A case was cited where marshal McCarthy ordered an individual whom he caught in the act of dumping tin cans, old stove pipes etc by the side of this street, to reload the stuff d carry it away which the man did. A day later however it was found that he returned and again dumped his load in the same place.

The place came unsought by Mr. Duncalf. It is seldom that a young man is called from the west to take a position in the faculty of an eastern college. These colleges are surrounded by such universities a 3 Harvard and Yale and can if they choose draw from +he graduates of the above institutions for their corps of intructors. The selection of a western man shows how highly the University of Wisconsin and its pro ducts are regarded in the east. Mr. Duncalf will have charge of the institution of the Oxford tutelage sys tem, which will be tried at Bowdoin this year. Steady Advertising Wins. Some merchants seem to think that an occasional appearance in the advertising columns is enough to demonstrate their enterprise as givers of good value They would laugh at a competitor who closed up his store every little while, thus turning away possible customers, and permitting trade to drift elsewhere. They forget that the search cf the public f)r the best values is begun not on th 9 street, but in the home. The first step is to look over the news of tbe retail stores, as contained in newspaper advertising, to see who is widest awake, who is giving the most for the dollar. Failure to respond to the prelim nary search for informaiion is as fatal as closing the doors of your store in business hours. Customers come down town with the purchase half made. The merchants who responds to their demand for information about his offerings get the first visit, and the cream of the trade. The rest take the leavings.
