Advertising Influence.

In his address before the l. A. A.
convention, Ben Hampton said:
There are thousands of people who
think they are not influenced by ad-
vertising, and many of Them make
frequent assertions to that effect. Two
men were recently playing golf-one
an advertising man, the other an intel
ligent attorney.
"Who on earth ever reads ads?"
asked the attorney. 81 am sure l nev-
er do"
Wherewith the advertising man
asked few questions:
First-"W What hat do you wear7'
Answer-"Knox."
5. Second-"Wha collars?' Answer
Earl & Wilson,"
Third-"Wbere did you buy your
golf clothes?" Answer Rogers,
Peet & Co"
Fourth-"What shoes do you
wear?" Answer-"Regal"
E.Htn- WHAT TOBACCO are you
smoking in your pipe?" Answer
"Old English Curve Cut"
Sixth-"What's the make of your
watch?" Answer-"Elgin."
seventl,-"What's your golf balls'
Answer-"Pneumatic."
To which the advertising man said:
"That will be about all I need from
you. except l might add that no.
ticed you signing check at the club
with Waterman fountain pen"
The influence of advertising is ex-
erted just like any other mental oper-
alton, so. quietly that most of us do
not know when we are influenced.

Poor Advertising.

All advertising which does not sell
goods is poor advertising. We have
heard from ours on all sides. It's
very common now for one person to
remark to another, Read The Chief
tain and you would know all about
it,"
Our advertising matter has paid us
handsomely upon the amount that it
would have cost had we charged our
selves full rates as we do our Gus
toners, and still the results have just
begun to come. Every statement we
make therein is true and if you have
ever doubted single one call at our
shop in Holly and we will prove it.

ScANDALoUS THINGS FOUND BY
STATE DEPARTMENT
DRUNKARDS AND THIEVES
Evidence Of Frauds, Corruption,
Grating and Gross Malfeasance
in ofice-President Lays the
Startling Facts Before Congress
Report From Department of State.

Washington, March 29-The presi-
dent yesterday transmitted TO the
house the report OF the Assistant Sec
rotary of State PIERCE regarding the
consular service in the orient The
severest criticism of the report re-
fers to ex-Consuls Goodnow at
Shanghai, McWade at Canton and
Williams at Singapore.
The charges against McWade are
drunkenness, the employment OF
felon, the issuance of fraudulent
Chinese certificates, extending pro
lection to Cinnamon who claim to be
American citizens, the persecution Of
American citizeps for the purpose OF
revenge, and corruption in Office.
The charges against Goodnow are
81 in number, some serious and some
slight. Some are sufficient to sup
port suits at law and giving evidence
of corruption in Office The opinion
of the better element was unfayor-
able to him in Shanghai. Among
the charges against GOodnow We're al
legged Illegal fees for probating
will, false registration of the steam
ship Kiangsi, and the improper issu-
ance of passports fees not accounted
for.
Concerning Williams the report
says, My personal observation con
WINGED me that Williams is not a use
full man to the government in his
present capacity, and does not appeal
to have gained the respect and es-
TEEN of the colonial government.
Further considering Goodnows
management of his office, the report
says:
THE employment of such men as
White and Derby in the capacity they
have filled is in itself increditable
If there were nothing else to be said
regarding them they are men Of
coarse. brutal type, whose language
in the offices is, as l learn from
most reliable information, grossly in
decent and profane White has re
signed but Derby remains as mar
shall"
Continuing the report says:
But much more grave is the evi.
dence that Goodnow was using the
great judicial powers with which the
law as it stands has invested our
consuls in China, to improperly OBJ
tain large sums of money for himself
to which he had not the smallest
shadow of right and the evidence Of
this in certain cases is so striking
and so convincing that conclusive evi
dence in rebuttal on Goodnow's part
is necessary to acquit him of the
charge of grave malfeasance in of
fee"
Commenting on McWade, the re
port declares:
THE general opinion That I found
expressed regarding McWade
throughout China was that he is no
toriously corrupt"
