THE KIMBALL GRAPHIC
cLATE R. TlNAN.
The Official Paper Of BruIa County.

Anent the rainmaking business, the
RedEeld Journal Observer refers the
GRAPHIC to the experiments made by
Gen. Dyrenforth in Texas. and asks what
is our theory on the results OF the exper-
iments. We will refer the Journal
Observer to the Scientific American FOR
an answer to its question. There isn't
the slightest evidence that Gen. Dyren-
forth caused the precipitation OF one
drop Of water In all the experiments
made, Gen. Dyrenforth was an en-
thusiast and tried to make as favorable
Il report as possible to offset in measure
tie large amount of money wasted, but
the disinterested reports Of those who
accompanied the expedition show that
all the experiments were fiat failures So
far as developing anything satisfactory
is concerned. The simple fact that
further efforts in that line we're quickly
dropped shows that even Gen. Dyrenforth
himself has wisely concluded that Nature
IS still doing business at the old stand.

Advertising is an art. The best adver-
tising is. of course, that which realizes
the greatest returns with the least pro-
portionate outlay. To attain that most
desirable result is. however, difficult. It
can never be done when the advertisement
is 80 worded as to create in the mind Of
thepatron suspicion that the advertiser
is either deceiving him now, or has swim
died him in the past. Fol example. A
dealer placards his store window with
annon cements that he is selling goods
at, say, fifty per cent. discount. To
even tie most casual observer there can
be but one Of three conclusions-either
the dealer is in great financial straits
and is selling at less than cost-has
marked up the goods especially to make
the discount and is, therefore lying-or
has been realizing very enormous profits
in the past. Where his known possess
ions eliminate the first one Of tho other
two must be correct. The feet il, that
while advertisements should always be
made as attractive as possible whether
home made placards pasted on store
fronts. or legitimate newspaper an
nouncements-they should be consistent
and truthful. Otherwise their effect
must inevitably be injurious rather than
beneficial.
