TALK ON ADVERTISING
BY c. Post Publishers at Banquet Battle Creek.

The sunshine that makes a business
plant grow is advertising.
Growing business nowadays is
something like growing an apple-tree.
You may select good seed. plant 1t in
good soil, water and work with it, but
the tree will not produce fruit until
another and most powerful, energiz-
Ing and life-giving element is brought
to bear. You must have sunshine and
lots Of 1t. Can you expect to ripen
apples in the dark? Can you expect
to grow profitable business plant
nowadays without the sunshine of pub
lie favor produced by advertising?
This Postum plant is good illus
tration Of that law. 1t seems but a
short time ago when put few men
at work in the carriage house OF the
barn you, have seen to-day. where we
began making Postum coffee.
The seed then planted. less than 9
years ago, was a new kind Of apple
seed and it was not altogether certain
how the people would like the apples.
We did our work thoroughly and
plenty Of 1t. We knew we had . good

Russians Capture Guns.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 1S.-General
Sakharon telegraphs that the Rus
SLAMS on Sunday recaptured Lonely
Tree hill south of Shakhe, and cap
tured eleven Japanese guns and one
quick firer.
Lonely Tree hill is situated near
Shakhe. about three miles east of the
railroad. The Shakhe ri yer runs
around its base. The Japanese seized
the hill during the night of October
18th. overpowering the two Russian
regiments which previously were in
possession of it.
Russian reinforcements were hur-
ried up and early the following morn
ing opened a sustained artillery fire.
Subsequently the Russian infantry
stormed the hill and fierce fighting at
close quarters followed. Numbers OF
Japanese were bayoneted in the
trenches and ultimately the defenders
were driven out after several hours OF
fighting. The losses were heavy.
A dispatch sent from Mukden at
1870 p. m. says:
"At another point during the day,
the Siberian regiment captured twen-
ty-four guns.
THE Russian operations to-day have
been quite successful. The Japanese.
after terrifically stubborn resistance.
were compelled to retire along their
whole line. leaving trenches filled with
the Japanese dead. In one noteworthy
large trench there were counted 900
corpses of the Japanese. In spite of
their losses the Japanese were un-
daunted. They brought up siege guns
and have left no stone unturned to
maintain the mastery Of the situation.
Every step the Russians have pushed
forward to-day has been in the face OF
resistance that has cost the Russians
dear. The Japanese seem to be willing
20 fight until they are annihilated.
Tomorrow will be the tenth day Of
the battle"

Beet Pulp In Demand.

Some of the beet farmers In north
ern Colorado are complaining because
the sugar factories have disposed OF
all their beet pulp for this season.
Many Of the farmers desire to have the
pulp made by their beets for feeding
purposes and the claim is made that
the factories promised them the pulp
from their beets II they wanted 1t.
Last year. however. all the factories
had pulp left over and this year they
were taking no chances and contracted
the pulp to the first comers. This
year every pound Of the pulp Will be
fed and the farmers want more. A
meeting Of farmers was held in Fort
Collins q few days ago to protest
against the contracting OF the pulp
until they had had an opportunity to
secure what they want. The factories
prefer to have the farmers feed the
pulp on their places and thus secure
manure for their fields and 1t Is prob.
able that different arrangements Will
be made hereafter.

apple tree Of fine quality but how to
develop our work and turn the apple
tree into a productive and profitable
tree was another question.
1t needed sunshine and the kind Of
sunshine that is spread by the news
papers and magazines. It is an abso-
Lutte certainty that without the pub
licity thus glven-in other words. the
sunshine-the business never would
have developed.
You have seen to-day factory build
ings-thirteen or fourteen in number

ploying hundreds of workpeople, pro-
ducing food and drink in an aggregate
of four million packages per month,
which goes to every civilized country
on the globe, and yet the entire enter
prise Is less than 9 years old. We
have found 1t necessary, inasmuch as
the tree has grown and the apples ma
tured by hard work and sunshine. to
continue the work and the sunshine
day in and day out, month in and
month out, the sunshine appropriation
amounting to approximately million
dollars year for advertising, for ex-
perience teaches that IL you mature
the tree under strong sunshine. and
bring 1t up to thrifty and healthful
state where it produces profitable ap-
pies. you can not withdraw that sun

Reorganization Completed at Annual

Denver, Oct l9.-The Rockefeller

through at the annual meeting yester-

head of the company passed entirely

The passing of Osgood marks the

it will be found to possess exceptional
merit.
In ancient days newspaper publish
ers considered an advertisement an
evil but a necessary evil, and that 1t
should be hidden away as carefully
as possible, SO that no one would dis
cover that the paper was trying to
make little money by inserting pub
lie announcements. A paper run that
way to-day would fail.
Tho most successful exponents Of
the new plan OF doing business with
ink and paper are using every possi-
BILE means to make the announcements
attractive and sought after by the
readers.
1t is safe to say that thousands Of
women read the newspaper-not the
telegraphic page, but the pages con-
tanning announcements Of bargains in

STILL CRITICAL
RUSSIANS NOT WITHOUT HOPE

kuropatkIn Firmly Holds Right Wing
Russian Center Slightly Ad-
vaneed-Trying to Cover Rereat Of
Left Wing.
st. Petersburg. Oct. 18.-3:15 a. m.
The news from the front tonight is
more reassuring, from the Russian
standpoint. The situation is still re-
garded as being critical. but General
Kuropatkin is apparently holding the
Japanese firmly on his center and
right wing, even having recrossed the
Shakhe river. and while there are
rumors Of extensive Japanese flanking
movements, both on the east and on
the west, there is no evidence that
they are actually occurring.
General Kuropatkin's left has been
heard from. The Associated Press has
the first connected report of the four
days fight in front of Tumen and Salt
chou passes, resulting in the final with
drawal Of the strong Russian column
which had been sent in turn the Japa-
nese right, though General Mistchenko
seems to have actually penetrated
considerable distance inside the Japa-
nese line. The report of the operations
of the Russian left wing is still three
days old, and since that time no news
has been received from this column.
The situation at this date may be de-
scribed as follows:
General Kuropatkin has slightly ad-
vanced his center, reoccupying Shakhe.
south Of the Shakhe river. Directly be-
hind him at a distance of nine miles lies
the Hun river, and across the bridges
spanning this stream the Russians
must retire in case they retreat on
Mukden. General Kuropatkin must
continue to firmly hold his CEN
ter and right flank in order to prevent
the Japanese getting possession of the
Hun river bridges. Thus he will cover
the withdrawal of his apparently beaten
east wing.
tainty as to the disposition of this left
column. Certainly it has not returned
to Mukden; whether it is again advanc-
ing after its withdrawal is not known.
1t is no longer question of Rus
sian Sedan. although all hope of re-
lieving Port Arthur must apparently be
abandoned.
Little hope is expressed that Kuro-
patl1in will be able to advance.
The four-days' fight of the eastern
column was of the same desperate char
acter that marked the operations of
the center and right wing. A heavy
Russian column under such leaders as
lvanhoff, Rennenkamp. Garngross and
Kondratovich repeatedly assaulted
strongly intrenched japanese positions
on heights commanding the passes. The
assaults were largely night work. The
cannonade was so furious that it was
impossible to advance in the light of
day.
Finally, on October 18th. when the
passes had been actually occupied, came
the order to withdraw. probably owing
to critical position at other parts of
the front. Here the story of the opera
tions of the eastern wing of the west
ern army ends.
