Amherat Authorltiea Not In Favor,
and Stick for Better Service—
Another Meeting Tueaday. /
Manager Schneider and Mr. Nestor
of Blyria, Cleveland ft Southwestern
tnterurban railway officials, appeared
before the Amherst village council
Tuesday evening, In advocacy of an
Increase In commutation tickets between Amherst and Lorain from 7 Mi
to>12Vs cents. They did not get what
they were after.
Mr. Schneider opened the discussion, and then there followed several
hours of questions, aniiwers, complaints and retractions, all of which
combined to make a decidedly Interesting meeting.
Schneider stated that Amherat ha3
for years enjoyed a low rate letween
Amherst and Lorain, too low, ln fact,
and that the Southwestern cempany,
harried by Increasing wage schedules,
etc., and Indirectly intimating it was
on its last legs, absolutely mu It have
12% cents fare ln order to ktiep out
of the poor house.
Council Aakt Questions.
Mayor Poster, Solicitor Smythe and
Councilman Parker did most of the
talking for the council. In tu n they
brought up the Inconsistencies ln the
fares charged by the South-vestern
company between various neighboring
cities. They cited the 15 cent regular
fare between Elyria and Lorain; the
fact that It costs 25 cents to Lorain
regular fare when a ticket is not purchased beforehand, while It is 20 cents
to Elyria regardless of whether a ticket is bought or not; the fact that the
ticket office ln Lorain half the Mme Is
not open for business; the fact that
the present commutation tickets so
read that if a portion, say between
here and the junction, is not used, It
must be thrown away.
Not much was said regarding the
horrlbleness of the one and only street
car used regularly on the Amherst end
of the line, .but that will have Its Innings next Tuesday night.
Company Wanta "Co-operation."
'i'he company officials counter-attacked. They claimed Amherat la getting pretty good service, all things
considered; that the company runs
extra cars morning and night when
the traffic Is heavy; and ilint all the
Uttle Inconsistencies in fare rates will
eventually bo Ironed out.
It wus brought out that 'the gre^n
line cars often fall to take on passengers at 28th street, Lorain, when a
yellow line car discharges them, the
trainmen of the green line seeming to
taku ueiigiu in running off and making the Intending passengers wait another hour. Schneider and Nestor
said any such instance, if proof were
shown, would be investigated and the
guilty trainmen punished.
Council Laya It Over.
The council took no action. George
Parker believed a raise to 20 cents for
the round trip was sufficient, and then
would leave Amherst getting a little
the worst ot it. Councilman Sanders,
who Is a steady rider aud who has
been sounding other car riders, believed a raise of $1 in the price of the
books, with the tickets good either
May between Amherst and Lorain.
would meet with their approval, provided cars are run In better manner,
v. Kb a few more extras timing the ruah
periods.
.When asked what the result would
be in case the council here refuses
the raise asked. Manager Schneider
aeiJ then it would bo the company's
move, and he threatened that the commutation tickets might be withdrawn
entirely, then retracted tho atatoment.
When told tho count 11 might feel
like tolling the company to go to the
dickens, or let it take it up with the
Itate utilities commission, Schneider
requested the council to talk and think
it over a while. The officials will
again be here next Tuesday evening,
at which time the matter will be entirely threshed over and If possible a
decision reached.
la Company Bluffing? *
It Is the opinion of several members
that the company will not insist on
lis proposed abnormal raise in rates
If the village officials take a firm
stand- which they propose to do. It
Is not believed the utilities commission would allow any such raise when
It becomes acquainted with conditions
hore.'' • i ' •
At any rate, an effort will be made
to secure the fairest eattlenient possible at this time, and aecure an Improvement in the service accorded
Amherst patrons, now "something
fierce."
Councllmeu ask the co-operation of
the public ln this matter. If you have
«n opinion or a suggestion, don't heal-
tale to make it known.

PROMINENT CITIZENS CALLED
DEATH OF H. W. BELTEN COMES

HOW LONG DOE8 AN
ADVERTISEMENT
LIVE?
Mr. und, Mrs. William Dangul and
Frank Walker are attending the state
fair ln Columbus this week.
MICKIE SAYS
We're on the lookout for live-wire
correspondents ln various surrounding towns and centers. If you want
the job or know of someone who does,
send 'em around to the office.
Corporal Thomas Young, now ln
Camp Sherman, a member of the Srd^
division, la expected to arrive home
This is a question often asked. It
is somewhat difficult to answer because the life of an advertisement depends upon so muny things. A little
classified advertisement in a daily
paper Is only good for ono day. When
a show comes to town, the advertising may be of value for just as loin?
as the show stays. Clothing advertisements may be so worded that they
are only good for one day or they may
build business throughout the entire
year. A merchant may advertise that
he always has fresh butter and eggs
and so impress tho fact upon the public that the advertising will bring him
a customer who sticks for muny years.
That sume advertisement might sny
••fresh butter toduy, 58c per pound"
and the value of the advertisement
would be lost tomorrow.
It Is not so much the medium ln
which the advertisement appears us
It is the actual wording of the advertisement that counts for the service
life of the advertisement. One naturally thinks that an advertisement appearing ln n dally paper loses Its
strength Immediately afire the paper h„rHt
is discarded, while an advertisement
running In a weekly or monthly will
hold attention much longer.
As a rule, we finish with a paper or
a magazine when we have It in our
hands. Sometimes they are laid aside
for future reading, but not often. All
advertising copy should be so constructed, lf possible, that it creates
the selling impression or, at leas*,
starts it before the reader drops the
paper. What happens ' after that
should be ln the nature of a follow-
up. In this particular respect, advertising Is like the doctor; he haa to do
something on the first visit.—Business
Chat.

POLETIGAL SITUATION
STILt UNCERTAIN
The political situation in the village
of Amherst has resolved itself Into a
one party, one man proposition. The
Democrats have no candidate for mayor since J. J. Smythe declines to run
for the office again. He suys he will
withdraw his name from the ticket
and run for Justice of the Peace.
K. E. Foster stands llrst in not only
his own party, but in ull parties. A
year ago he headed the Citlzen'B ticket us well as the Republican ticket.
In spite of the fact thut this is his
thinl term campaign, he seems to be
held In high favor with the voters.
No report hus been received from
Ihe board of election us to the candidates for the Council on either ticket.
It is not likely there will be anything
to report for several weeks because
all village tickets in the county were
about as complicated as ours and It
Is enough to suy thut ours was bad
enough. The mere fact that there
were no candidates fcr Council at the
primary antl the only nominations
were those made by writing In the
r.ames of men by the Individual voters which resulted in a long list of
candidates but few of them received
more than one or two votes.

Schneider stated that Amherat ha3 for years enjoyed a low rate letween Amherst and Lorain, too low, ln fact, and that the Southwestern cempany, harried by Increasing wage schedules, etc., and Indirectly intimating it was on its last legs, absolutely mu It have 12% cents fare ln order to ktiep out of the poor house. Council Aakt Questions. Mayor Poster, Solicitor Smythe and Councilman Parker did most of the talking for the council. In tu n they brought up the Inconsistencies ln the fares charged by the South-vestern company between various neighboring cities. They cited the 15 cent regular fare between Elyria and Lorain; the fact that It costs 25 cents to Lorain regular fare when a ticket is not purchased beforehand, while It is 20 cents to Elyria regardless of whether a ticket is bought or not; the fact that the ticket office ln Lorain half the Mme Is not open for business; the fact that the present commutation tickets so read that if a portion, say between here and the junction, is not used, It must be thrown away. Not much was said regarding the horrlbleness of the one and only street car used regularly on the Amherst end of the line, .but that will have Its Innings next Tuesday night. Company Wanta "Co-operation." 'i'he company officials counter-attacked. They claimed Amherat la getting pretty good service, all things considered; that the company runs extra cars morning and night when the traffic Is heavy; and ilint all the Uttle Inconsistencies in fare rates will eventually bo Ironed out. It wus brought out that 'the gre^n line cars often fall to take on passengers at 28th street, Lorain, when a yellow line car discharges them, the trainmen of the green line seeming to taku ueiigiu in running off and making the Intending passengers wait another hour. Schneider and Nestor said any such instance, if proof were shown, would be investigated and the guilty trainmen punished. Council Laya It Over. The council took no action. George Parker believed a raise to 20 cents for the round trip was sufficient, and then would leave Amherst getting a little the worst ot it. Councilman Sanders, who Is a steady rider aud who has been sounding other car riders, believed a raise of $1 in the price of the books, with the tickets good either May between Amherst and Lorain. would meet with their approval, provided cars are run In better manner, v. Kb a few more extras timing the ruah periods. .When asked what the result would be in case the council here refuses the raise asked. Manager Schneider aeiJ then it would bo the company's move, and he threatened that the commutation tickets might be withdrawn entirely, then retracted tho atatoment. When told tho count 11 might feel like tolling the company to go to the dickens, or let it take it up with the Itate utilities commission, Schneider requested the council to talk and think it over a while. The officials will again be here next Tuesday evening, at which time the matter will be entirely threshed over and If possible a decision reached. la Company Bluffing? * It Is the opinion of several members that the company will not insist on lis proposed abnormal raise in rates If the village officials take a firm stand- which they propose to do. It Is not believed the utilities commission would allow any such raise when It becomes acquainted with conditions hore.'' • i ' • At any rate, an effort will be made to secure the fairest eattlenient possible at this time, and aecure an Improvement in the service accorded Amherst patrons, now "something fierce." Councllmeu ask the co-operation of the public ln this matter. If you have «n opinion or a suggestion, don't heal- tale to make it known.

The wedding at noon today, at the home of tho bride's mother, of Miss Elizabeth Becker, daughter of Mrs. Catherine Becker of Main street, antl George Schroeder, son of Mrs. Magde- line Schroeder of West street, was an event calculated to call forth the heartiest congratulations and best wishes from their many friends, both here and throughout the county. Rev, M. Neumeister read the beautiful ceremony, In the presence of the immediate relatives. A wedding luncheon was served, and as we go to press the young couple were preparing to leave for a wedding trip to Buffal > and Niagara Falls', planning to visit for a few days with the groom's sister In Buffalo.

BELTEN COMES A8 SHOCK—FUNERAL LARGELY ATTENDED. HOW LONG DOE8 AN ADVERTISEMENT LIVE? Mr. und, Mrs. William Dangul and Frank Walker are attending the state fair ln Columbus this week. MICKIE SAYS We're on the lookout for live-wire correspondents ln various surrounding towns and centers. If you want the job or know of someone who does, send 'em around to the office. Corporal Thomas Young, now ln Camp Sherman, a member of the Srd^ division, la expected to arrive home This is a question often asked. It is somewhat difficult to answer because the life of an advertisement depends upon so muny things. A little classified advertisement in a daily paper Is only good for ono day. When a show comes to town, the advertising may be of value for just as loin? as the show stays. Clothing advertisements may be so worded that they are only good for one day or they may build business throughout the entire year. A merchant may advertise that he always has fresh butter and eggs and so impress tho fact upon the public that the advertising will bring him a customer who sticks for muny years. That sume advertisement might sny ••fresh butter toduy, 58c per pound" and the value of the advertisement would be lost tomorrow. It Is not so much the medium ln which the advertisement appears us It is the actual wording of the advertisement that counts for the service life of the advertisement. One naturally thinks that an advertisement appearing ln n dally paper loses Its strength Immediately afire the paper h„rHt is discarded, while an advertisement running In a weekly or monthly will hold attention much longer. As a rule, we finish with a paper or a magazine when we have It in our hands. Sometimes they are laid aside for future reading, but not often. All advertising copy should be so constructed, lf possible, that it creates the selling impression or, at leas*, starts it before the reader drops the paper. What happens ' after that should be ln the nature of a follow- up. In this particular respect, advertising Is like the doctor; he haa to do something on the first visit.—Business Chat. Charles Greim Dies at Brother's Home —Albert Aldrich, Aged Citizen, Burled Sunday. Death again took heavy toll of Amherst the past week, three well known antl respected men having passed away. The greatest shock to the community wns the death Sunday evening it 7 o'clock of ilalsey W. Belden, at his home on Lincoln street. While playing with his grandchildren, the rest of the family being gathered on the porch, Mr. Belden suddenly fell, gasping for breath. When physicians arrived life was extinct. They pronounced It heart failure. Mr. Belden had resided here nearly all his life, being 65 years old. Just a few weeks ago he and his family moved from the home on tho -west side to the old Malley place on Lincoln street, which he purchased. Surviving are his widow, three daughters, Mrs. S. II. Kurtz, Lorain, Mrs. J. H. Gllmun and Mrs. H. D. Stan- den und ono son, F. W. Belden. of Amherst. Mrs. Ella Heune.

B. I. Black of Nottingham, former II, E. church pastor here. Interment was in the Cleveland avenue cemetery. A host of friends were in attendance, and floral offerings were numerous, a mark of love antl respect for a lov- uble and kindly man, Charles Greim Funeral Today.

Elyria and Lorain will celebrate Labor day, next Monday. Sept. 1. The Lorain county fair opens Monday at Klyria, and the combined attractions will probably make the county seat the biggest drawing card for Amherst people. Elyriu has planned a big parade, with Mayor Jones ut ihe head, with contests nnd speeches at Cascade park. «%• Lorain also will have a parade and the usual celebration. All the big shops In both cities will be colsed for the day. ln Amherst, merchants and factories generally will observe the day. Banks will be closed. The post- office will be open for an hour tn the morning for the delivering of mall through the window. Labor day Is becoming more generally observed ns each year rolls around. It wasn't so long ago that ln tho smaller towns Labor day waa like any other day. Now It Is taking on ihe nature of a general holiday. The News-Times office will closed all day Monday. be POLETIGAL SITUATION STILt UNCERTAIN The political situation in the village of Amherst has resolved itself Into a one party, one man proposition. The Democrats have no candidate for mayor since J. J. Smythe declines to run for the office again. He suys he will withdraw his name from the ticket and run for Justice of the Peace. K. E. Foster stands llrst in not only his own party, but in ull parties. A year ago he headed the Citlzen'B ticket us well as the Republican ticket. In spite of the fact thut this is his thinl term campaign, he seems to be held In high favor with the voters. No report hus been received from Ihe board of election us to the candidates for the Council on either ticket. It is not likely there will be anything to report for several weeks because all village tickets in the county were about as complicated as ours and It Is enough to suy thut ours was bad enough. The mere fact that there were no candidates fcr Council at the primary antl the only nominations were those made by writing In the r.ames of men by the Individual voters which resulted in a long list of candidates but few of them received more than one or two votes. The terms of all three Justices of tho Peace expire this year. We huve a farmer, residing flrat on the^Mlddle ,)een to,d but not by hlra8e,f) that K. C.

Roman noses are very popular. Skirts will lie worn short or long, depending on the contour of the wearer's ankles. Some of the winter coats will be worn very long; they cost too much to throw away before their fifth season. Buyers, manufacturers and designers gathered at Ihe Hit/, to inspect the garments, which included models from most of the best known Ameri- enn studios und a few from Purls. The Family Favored.
