To BeOpened
Next Tuesday
EXHIBITION WILL BE HELD IN
THE OLD POSTOFFICE
BUILDING.
ALL THE CLAS8Y BIRDS AT THE
WHEELING MEETING WILL
BE BROUGHT HERE.
The annual exhibition of the Fair
mont Poultry and Pet Stock Associ
ation will he held In the old postofflce
room in the Masonic temple instead
of the armory, as has been announced.
The change makes it more convenient
for all parties concerned. It is said
that'the room will afford .better ac
commodations- than any place tnat a
show has been held in the state.
The change was made late yesterday
afternoon when it was learned that
the Fairmont Gas Company would not
be ready to move its offices into the
old postofflce room until some time
the week following the chicken show
or later. Mr. C. H. Evans, the general
manager of the gas company willingly
consented to let the promoters of the
, exhibition have the room for the show.
Fairmont nor Marlon county has
ever had anything In a poultry ex
hibit that will compare with the one
that will be seen here next week.
Thousands of birds will be seen. The
best of tho blue blooded aristocracy
of the barnyard will be seen in much
larger numbers than ever before. All
of the classy birds that are at the
Wheeling show will me here, accord
ing to the statement of Judge William
F. Auerswald, who will arrive here
Monday after spending Sunday at his
homo in Harmarsyille, Pa.
The show will be open to the public
Tuesday at noon and will be open
each night until eleven o'clock each
night until Friday "night. A general
admission of twenty-five cents will bo
charged. The price of admlsion to
children is ten cents. School children
have tho opportunity to get special
tickets.
On Tuesday afternoon the school
teachers will accompany their pupils. I
There will be no charge on this oc-|
caslon and it is hoped that hundreds j
of the little people will avail them
selves of the opportunity of seeing the 1
birds. The teachers are requested to |
arrange their visits so that they will i
come between the hours of two ana |
six o'clock. I
Judging will start Tuesday morning
and the colored ribbons will tell the
winners. Judge Mcintosh, who pre-1
sided over the poultry show here last j
year, will assist Judge Auerswald and,
the two working the judging of the
fowls will proceed lively. One Judge
will take the American classes and
the other will take the smaller classes.
On Friday night it will be known
who has won the gold watch displayed j
in IUehldaffer & Brownfleld's Bhow
window and the wrist watch seen In
A. B. Scott's window.
Never has there been so much in-1
terast manifested in the local poultry j
show as this year. The association |
is building and people who had noth- ]
ing to do with the enterprise at first
have become enthusiastic over the
matter and are giving the association
substantial support. I
WEEK OF PRAYER
CL08ED LAST NIGHT
The week of union prayer services
was brought to a close last evening
at the First Baptist church, when an
interesting service, was conducted by
Rev. W. I. Canter, pastor of the
Southern Methodist Episcopal church.
A large audience was out for this
service which was an inspiring one.
A great deal of good is believed to
have resulted from these union serv
ices, In that church going people have
been brought Into close touch and
harmony through association In the
week of prayer.

Tbe concern which persistently and
consistently advertises brings to Itself
great reward In tbe form or Increased

?bower of advertising In tbe sbape of
handbills Is Incessant. They are put
Into one's band at every step?at the

vehicles, tlirnst under private doors
and sent by millions through the mails.
Glittering Advertising Maze.
Tbe only road to commercial success
leads through a glittering maze or ad
vertising.
Great boats, bearing on their sails
hope advertisements, sail up and down
all season before crowded watering
places, and now and then a rain of
advertisements conies from a wander
ing aeroplane.
When daylight falls tbe magic elec
tric Ught throws advertisements on
large screens In conspicuous places In
botb large and smoll cities.

Advertising Is unquestionably tbe
weapon whicb will make the communi

bouses, but It Is not absolutely neces
sary tlut printed matter be tbe whole
thing.
Personal snd Individual advertising
1b most helpful. It Is such advertising
that gives re'ill mall order houses
their trade.
And through advertising the local
merchants enn deprive them of mupb
of tbe trade that cornea from their
community.

So, in your advertising, yon have
yonr Bavlng (Ire with which to light
the consuming competition of retail
mall order houses.
Tbe printed matter, or coarse, must
continue to he tbe main reliance for
nrging people to enter your store.
Show windows, however good, are
sure to be seen only by a few of those
who might need to trade with you,
while personal Invitations cannot be
given qnlckly enough to a sufficient
number to answer everyday purposes.
It is through printed matter that the
retail mall order bouse offerings are
constantly made, and, if for no other
reason than to prove the determination
at least to match their efforts for
trade In your community, use the local
press and printed matter enough to let
no one whoso trade should be yours
forget that you are in a position to fill
his wants.
Originality Best Method,
The local merchant should dwell at
length on the fact that be delivers
after tbe gooda uave been seen and be
fore the money has been paid for them,
and when It comes to making good,
should anything go wrong, he Is right
at hand, not a thousand miles away.
A reputation for originality Is con
tinually being sought by most mer
chants, and one can get it mors easily
by being natural In every move. Ad
vertising that Bounds like yoo Is not
only cure to bring the greatest results,
but It la also the one kind of advertis
ing your competitor cannot successful
ly Imitate.
It is true that some self styled ad
vertising experts have studied the dic
tionary, the grammar and the type
specimen books until they are able to
talk a Jargon that makes advertising?
by which we mean printed matter
seem very much of a mystery to the
average man.
Operate Like Pickpockets.

In the advertising art ore something

to divert suspicion from hi mseir. Joins

Two Games Scheduled
By Fairmont Y.M.G.A.
Two basket ball games were sched
uled for the local Y. M. C. A. team
to be played here. Wesleyan will bo
here on January 23 and Wheeling Is
coming February 6. Both teams are
strong ones. The drubbing that the
local boys got last night will.do them
good and cause them to work harder
for success. Their ability to give
Grafton an unusual trouncing caused
them to hold the University lads too
cheaply.
The Fairmont team is weak at cen
