History varies, \vc- ai'^i Lou\ that, iic
Irnded at Caibo, Oulf of Darien a:id
mai-ched across; also that he went
iji! the Chagres, as did Colombus, and
from the top of what is today the
highest point of land in the American
Canal Xone Balboa Mountain, just saw
this body of water. In all -obabil-
ity it was at Darien be laiiled but it
is intcrostinj; to note that jiiaiboa
Mountain, which stands just baclc of
the now deserted village of Gorgona.
is the only point where two oceans
are visible. I climbed this mountain
last fail and saw for niy.self the beau
ty and grandeur of the Canal Zone
spread out before nie, to the South
l^he Pacific as far as the eye could
reach and north of u-s I.imon Bay.
Strangre to say even at this early date,
explorers began to Sock for a strait
connecting the two ocean.";, and Cor
tez was sent out by the King of Spain
to look for this expected body of
•vater. Also Jacovies Cartier was s,ent
out by the King of France to find “The
Shorter Koute to Cathay” and search
ed the coa.st as far north at l^abra-
dor. At last in 1-520 Magellan sailed
around South America and was the
first to discover this connecting, how'-
eveir he did not know this and it re
mained for Drake fifty years after
wards (1591) to discover this fact.
About 1530 it became a recognized
fact that there was no strait through
Central America and even that early
date, we hear the first mention of an
artificial canal. To Alraro de Sar-
vedra Ceron belongs tiie credit for
this idea, and Galrano says that Cer
on actually prepared plans for this
artificial waterway, and it might be
interesting to not*, precisely long the
route choscn four hundred years af
terwards for its fictuol location. GaJ-
raito mentioned Tour routes as feas
ible, Darieti, Panama, Nicarague
and Tebamtepec.
Charles V. of Spain, was quite glive
to the impertance of such a water
way, and 1534 directed the Governor
of “Terra Finns,” now Panama to
•ey the valley of the Chagres. In
|his report he says: “There are moun
tains, bat there are hands, if deternu-
aa:i%i is not lacking, means will not
Indes to which the way is to
made, will furnish them. To a
of Spain seeking the wealth of
idian co®>merte that which is pos-
ible, i? also easy.” Charles V. died
lont the undertaking going fur-
167 snd his ^Jiccessoii^, Fh^lip II.
ipped the idea, on account of the
■pi4 growth of the EngUsh power
jin the seK, and actoally declared a
ity of death upon anyone who
mold try to improve on the over-i
trail from Panama to Porta Bel-

I tendered a check for the $1,000
to the Mayor of the City. I also, se
cured a responsible bidder for the
bonds, and, did everything my con
tract with the city called for. The
Board of -Aldermen, at that time—
that iS; after I had fulfilled my part
of the contract—at the instance ui
some one, solemnly met and repudiat
ed the contract with me, and then
notified me of it. This was done
AFTER I had secured the bidder for
the bonds, at par, and had paid out
a considerable sum of money in ex
penses and had devoted much time
to the matter.
Is is possible that our Home City
is going to repudiate its contract and
refuse to pay the price agreed for
the service?
The contract was written out by
the City’s attorney and be gave a
written opinion as to its validity.

Th» Bereaved Has Our Sympathy.
The Lexington Disputeh carries the
following article in its last i.'5sue in
which it introduces a new step, “The
Butter-Mi!k Glide/' with Tifr. Cecil A.
Little playiiijs the star part;
Cecil A. Little, carricd on Route 4,
met with an accident one evening last
week that was nothing short of dis
aster. One of his natrons out en No.
4 gave him a gallon jug full of real
butter-mslk. It was not any of this
blue watery stuff that passes for but-
ter-milk in tnany localities but the
real stuff, thick and creamy looking,
with little pats of yellow butter float
ing around in it. He carried it all
the way over his rough and rocky 24-
mile route, keeping ever upon it a
loving and w-atchful eye, and he got
back to the post office with it in gocd
shape. He completed his labors,
checked up and started home, carry
ing his jug, when he remembered hav
ing left some little thing undone and
he went back into the office. He set
his jug down on the desk of Mr. A.
L. Leonard, city carrier, and right
there it happened. The bottom drop
ped out of the jug and butter-milk
covered the desk “as the waters that
cover the sea," ran down and over
the hard-wood floor. There was noth
ing to do but clean it up and this
he sorrowfully did. He got neither
aid nor sympathy from the clerks in
the office at that time, one of them
being unkind enough to ask him, as
he scuffled about on the floor mop
ping up the waste, if he wasn’t “do
ing the batter-milk glide.”

Is not necessary to cany a hirjre ad,
but have it ifiu.struted, attractiw and
tu the point.
Your ad should be ■L-han.t?ed every |
week. The floods adverti.**:ed should!
be seasonable and the copy ^v^itten|
in timely fashion. Advertiser ont«
thinK at u time just when it is com- i
Enpr into season. |
Our (iealers would fifju it well to
lay out a system first of the year
and foiloiv it carcfully. in March
you might advertise plows and har
rows. isi April, cultivators, Planters,
etc. In June, grain and hay tools and
so on throu|?h the year—g-ooda by the
seasons. Thifi is the only effective^
way to adv«?rtise. After each ad is
prepared* iock it over carefully to
see that it will appeal to your custom
ers and that it contains your name,
in bold, black type, for it is of equal
importani*e that your name be con
spicuous as the dealer selling the ma
chine advertised. Make yourself asj
important as the ffoods you sell. j
If ycur ad does not sell out i
all yoor stock, don’t quit advertising:. (
Here’s where many dealers make a j
serious mistake. You wouldn’t think
of cutting: out your meals just be^
cause you did not get fat from the
first or second one, would you? Do
not say you do not have to adver
tise because you will sell the goods
anyway. If that were the ease, we
might as w'ell commit suicide because
we will die sometime. l)on*t for a
moment believe the oft-repeated ar^u*
ment that advertising adds to the cost
of the goods. If his was so, an In-
gersoll watch would cost more than
an Elgin, and a Ford motor car would
bring more than a Packard. Stop
for a minute ar.d remember that
Welshach means gas miantles. Stein-
way sounds like pianos. IngersoU re
minds us of watches. Gillette is sug>
gestive of shaving comfort. Why?
Because all these are extensively ad-
vertised goods. Sveryone who reads
most any periodical has become fa
miliar with these articles. You can
make your name &nd line of goods
just as well known, in your territory,
by following out a practical and sys*
tematic advertising campaign, during
the season.
If you feel unequal to the ta«k of
preparing good, entidng copy for your
ads, please ask ua for help. We
