Now it is only possible for the
mail order house to reach the con-
sumer through advertising.
There is no other possible way
by which communication is es-
tablished. This advertising takes
the form of an Encyclopedia
Catalogue, liberal space in farm
papers and cheap periodicals.
Now the local dealer not only has
the opportunity to utilize a medi-
um which is usually read with
more interest than any outside
periodical, his own local paper,
but he has every advantage that
comes from acquaintance and the
ability to show and carry goods
in stock. No unknown concern
should be allowed to compete for
business under such conditions
unless there is something very
wrong with the dealer and he
doesn't fully appreciate the real
meaning of that word energy.
Given a reputation for fair and
honest dealing, the cooperation
of paper for advertising pur-
poses, backed by continuous ener-
getic efforts, there is no mail or
der house that will be able to
compete for local patronage un-
der such conditions.

The coming reunion will be
the biggest ever held in the his
tory of the Interstate Reunion
Association, and we might add
that the attractions are going to
be better than ever before. First,
the grounds have been put in
better condition, and look pref
tier; next the attractions from an
amusement standpoint are going
to be first class. The Patterson
& Brainerd Carnival Company
has been contracted with to fur
nish all of the shows and amuse-
ments for the coming meeting.
The shows carried by this COM
pany are among the very best on
the road, and great many peo-
pie who have seen them assure
us that no mistake has been made
in securing this company. We
saw the shows last year, and
thought then that if the Reunion
Association could secure that
bunch complete satisfaction would
be the result. License Agent
Smith took the matter up with
Mr.. Patterson early in the spring,
and by persistent effort made the
deal. It would have been impos-
sible to have secured this magni-
ficent aggregation if it had not
been for the fact that the compa-
ny is going south. The company
is to furnish all of the attractions
for the Texas state fair at Dallas
in October, but for the last three
months has been playing in the
big towns of Illinois and Iowa.
Everywhere the shows have ex-
hibited there has been an enor-
nous attendance, and in every
instance complete satisfaction
has been given. Mr.. Patterson,
the manager of the company, used
to live in Chetopa, and about five
years ago he was at the Baxter
Reunion with a merry-go-round |
and Ferris wheel. He associated
with him his brother-in-law, Mr.. |
Brainerd, and they went into the
business on a large |
scale. They have been very sue
cessful in catering to the amuse-
ment loving public, and today
have one of the very best bunch
of shows travelling in the United
States. Every show is clean,
moral, and will amuse and enter
tain. No roughs are allowed to
enter any show under the control
Of Jim Patterson. Remember
this immense aggregation of

SHOW VIOLENT EFFORT,
Facial Casts Which Depict Agony Of
Physical Overtraininq.

The strenuous athlete of the college
cinder path may well look long and
ponder much on remarkable set of
laclal casts just completed by DIR. r.
rant Mckenzie, physical director Of
the University Of Pennsylvania. With
the object Of showing how the violent
efforts of athletes to cut fractions of
seconds from existing records affect
the physique, DIR. Mckenzie has made
series Of models which reveal with
lifelike accuracy the effort with which
the heroes of the cinder path win their
victories. DR.. Mckenzie based his
facial models on Photographic snap
shots made at the time various ath-
letic leaders We're breaking the tape or
surmounting the hurdles at Franklin
Field and other athletic centers.
The most remarkabl Of the models
perhaps is that depicting violent eff
fort. Were it not that the camera has
depicted again and again the dreadful
expression of n trained sprinter or
jumper at the moment when he has
called to his help every ounce of
power in his entire being. in order to do
just little better than his opponent.
it would be difficult to believe that the
contestant was amusing himself. The
face suggests the mesmerized man in
Poe's story at the time of the at
tempted awakening. The lips are
drawn tightly back from the teeth.
The eyes are closed. The Jaws are
clenched. The lines of the face are
deep. If the athlete were struggling
for life the expression Of the face
could not be more appalling. 1t is
the concentration of agonized effort,
the focusing of all the force in every
fiber of a trained physique on the win
ming Of an athletic victory. The more
one looks at the picture the greater is
the temptation to doubt the value Of a
victory so won.
While not so fierce as violent effort.
the marks made on the face by fatigue
are bad enough. Gone is the last
trace of the blitheness of youth. The
face is that of a man tired of the battle
of life and ready to welcome relief
from the burden of the race. The
expression is identical with that IA
miliar to all attendants at big athletic
