WHAT ADVERTISING
HAS DONE FOR SHOES

There's charge for store rent and a
charge for advertising IN the price you
pay for every pair Of Shoes" said f. J.
Bliss. managing director Of the Regal
Shoe Company, who is probably one Of
the best informed shoe manufacturers
In the United States
The charge for rent IS a necessity.
Does the advertising add to the cost of
selllng, per pair. or reduce il? Let's see.
a store paying so a day for rent and
selhng twenty pairs of Shoes without
advertising, would have TO charge you
one dollar per pair for rent alone.
II by spending $50 per day additional
Tor advertising the same store can sell
-uO pairs Of shoes instead OF twenty
pairs. then the rent and advertising
combined would cost only 20 cents per
pair instead or S1.OO
IL iS favorite argument with unad-
Verused shoe stores that they can give
better value than the Royals. for in

II would be just as sensible 10 saw that
they can give better value because thew

When Laurence Hagenbeck walks

giraffe cages, he remembers two recent
days that came within an ace OF cost

The animals are of a species that is
almost extinct, and were captured in
German East Africa last winter by
young Hagenbeck and corps of eX-
perienced assistants.
With his ten trappers young Hagen
beck sailed from Hamburg for Africa.
Upon reaching the African coast Hag-
enbeck secured a train Of pack mules,
mounts for himself and companions
and a score or more OF natives. Two
hundred miles from the coast traces Of
giraffes were found. and upon locating
their feeding ground the trappers i'm
mediately dug deep pits. lined them
with the nets. covered the tops with
sand and proceeded TO the roundup"
as II IS called.
Trappers and natives formed a half
circle over the plain. and finally sighted
three giraffes. They were driven grad
ually toward the pits. One Of the
CRATES fell into a pit, another man
aged 10 break through the lines of
mounted men and escape, while the
third. leaping across the traps, dashed
away and made straight for the camp

In and out among the tents he ran,
overturning barrels OF precious water
which had been brought from the coast
for men and beasts. Finally he brought
up with a jerk against a particularly
stout tent rope. He fell and before he
could recover himself the trappers were
upon him and speedily made him fast
with hempen ropes.
The other giraffe was taken from the
pit into which he had fallen and when
the two had been Gagged and the eX-
pediJiOn was ready TO return 10 the
coast. Hagenbeck discovered the loss Of
the water Then he bethOuEht himself

Douglas Paper Says Juneau
 Not Whole Thing
Douglas Newsl

A paper published on the other side of Gastineaux Channel announced a W days ago in glaring headlines that Ex-Governor Swiueford is a traitor. The reason for this assertion seemed to be that MT. Swiueiord, who is now in Washington, D C., had stated that the logical location for the capital of Alas lza would be Seward or Valdez. Oi course we don't expect the Juneau edi- tor to agree to this statement, but there are a good many thousand people tn
 Alaska who know that Mr. Swiuetord spoke the absolute and impartial truth I, Is a fact that should cause exultattOn rather thaD chagrin that Alaska has outgrowu her daysof swaddling clothes and is now so big that there are thous- auds of her citizens who never saw Juneau and never will if they continue to reside in the district for 50 years. This shows a good condition of growth and is no reaecti,n on Juneau, except that other places in the district blessed with better locations and more zesi have outstrippeG her in the race.
 There was a time in the history of Alaska when Juneau was the center around which all Alaska enterprises revolved: when Juneau had the largest popu atiou, did the most business, cop pered all the conventions, dictated all the appointments, and gobb'ed every thing in sight because she could, but that day is long since past. Juneau must now be content to take her place in the ranks as plain Alaskan city striving for brsineSs. and it will do he' DO good to close her eyes to thc sdvan- tages of rivals, nor to call people names, whn speaS the truth.
