Advertise in Newspapers is the Ad.
vice of Iowa Retail Merchants.

Newspaper advertising was declared
to be the very best possible way of &C
quainting customers with what a mer-
chant has for sale at yesterdays session
of the Iowa State Retail Merchants as
ISOLATION. All of those who took part
in the discussion of "why and how
should retail merchants advertiser,
agreed upon this one point. Sugges-
tions were offered for supplementary
advertising.
The discussion was led by E. M. Tay-
lor of Sibley and H. v. Harlan Of Toledo.
Many other retailers volunteered ad-
dresses on this all important question.
1t was one of the most interesting dis
cnssions Of the entire session. Ere
quent changes of advertisements with
plenty of type were said to be impor-
tant elements in successful advertising.
The merchants also agreed that adver-
Using should be constant; that a half
page now and then was not as good as
a few inches every day or every week
where only weekly papers were issued.
Some of the speakers said they owned
their own type and that their ads were
set up under their own supervision.
All of the speakers denounced the
practice of lying in ads. They believed
it was better to pleasantly surprise the
customers than to disappoint them. All
urged friendliness to the publishers of
the newspapers on the assumption that
every time their name appeared in the
newspaper it was valuable advertising.

souTH AMERICAN QUAKE.

One of the worst earthquake diSaS.
tiers in the history Of South America
has occurred in Chill, with the city of
valparaiso as the focus point of the
calamity, according to cables from
Valparaiso as the focus point of the
South American points.
The captain of a steamship which
arrived from San Francisco says the
situation is worse than that following
the disaster at San Francisco.
The funds collected in Chilli for fes-
tivities in connection with the inaugu-
ration of President-elect Montt will
be distributed among the sufferers
from the earthquake.
Dispatches from Valparaiso state
that a mode estimate of the fatali-
ties is 1000 and that the property
loss may be as high as $250,000,000.
At Santiago many of the best pub
lie and private buildings were
wrecked. The loss of life there was
augmented by the panic which seized
the people, many of whom threw
themselves from the balconies Of their
homes.
Provisions and thousands of tons of
-four, wheat and rice are held in store
at Valparaiso and afoat; it is not be-
lieved food famine will occur.
The water pipes of Valparaiso were
broken and the water poured through
the streets. There is even lack of
water for drinking purposes.
The hills surrounding Valparaiso
suffered but slightly. More than co.
900 persons have taken refuge there.
Advices have been received that the
towns of Virlage and Casablanca were
entirely destroyed, and that San Fe-
lipe, Rancagua, Melipilla and Llaillai
were severely damaged.
At Conception the shock was severe
and number of persons were killed
or injured. The towns of Rengo, San
fernando, Quillotta and San Antonio
and many villages are in ruins.
Milk costs two Gillian dollars a IL
ter, and it is almost impossible to OBJ
tain mea, even at high prices.
The railroads are all destroyed.

In addition to the fear of earth
quakes The Valparaiso people are in
constant dread of storms, which
sweep in suddenly and frequently
from the sea.
Following the first shock fire start
ed in Valparaiso and hundreds of the
inhabitants persisted in the flames.
Prior to the spreading of the flames
many persons lost their lives under
the falling ruins of buildings shaken
