Does Not Consider Saloon Petit
lions of Sufficient Importance
to Justify Meeting
TWO SALOONS CHANGE HANDS
And Attorney Employed by the Owners
Wants Resolution Transferring Con-
sent Given at a Special Meeting
Mayor Says No, and Thinks Regular
Meeting on the 14th, Proper Time.

Because Of the sale Of two saloons,
to become effective January 1, an at
torney representing the saloon inter-
ests requested Mayor Ingledue today
to call a special council meeting to act
on resolutions transferring the consent
from the grantors to the new owners.
The mayor refused to comply with the
request, saying that he did not consid-
er the saloon business of so vital i'm
portance but that the petitions could
rest until the regular meeting on the
18th.
1T costs some money every time a
special meeting Of the council is held.
and the mayor could not see where it
was going to pay the city to meet for
the sole purpose of listening to the sa-
loon petitions. ~
The saloonists take a different view.
as they want to get their taxes paid
and furnish the auditor with the con-
sent OF the property owners on the
first of the year, as the law requires.
The mayor has suggested that the old
owners do this, and allow the transfer
of the consent to come up when the
council meets in regular session.
1t is understood an effort will be
made to get sufficient number Of the
members of the council to call the spe-
cial meeting without the mayors ac-
ton.

"The Maid and the Mummy" from
the pen OF Richard earle, who has been
seen here in both 1.-THE Storks' and
"The Tenderfoot," was disappoint-
ment unsteady as seen at the Odeon
Saturday evening. Some of Mr.. Carries
comedy features, especially those por-
the mummy, was treat, but aside
from Mr.. Warren himself there is de-
cided lack of pleasing features.
"The Maid and the Mummy" has lit
tie or nothing of a plot, but 1t does not
need one. With some good voices it
could be made a very pleasing musical
comedy. Solo voices were lacking, and
the only good one, that Of Elizabeth
Spencer. as Trixie Evergreen, was dis
played but once. Edward Groh also
had a voice that was pleasing, but he.
too, was given but little chance to show
his capabilities.
Fred Warren, as Bolliver, would be.
funny II he did nothing His face is
comedy in itself - his stock in trade
and his old vaudeville career shows up
to good advantage as the mummy. Joe
Edmunds, as Mao Swat, had an oppor-
tunity, but overacted. The other COM
edy part and it was acted we'll, was
that OF Flo Dobbins. by Miss Margaret
Burnham. Miss Burnham gives very
pleasing and humorous Interpretation
OF the romantic bowery girl.
The chorus is small and without
voices. and it was no real pleasure to
listen to what might be good music In
other hands. An explanation, however,
is made, to the effect that shortage
OF ten chorus girls, which can not be
filled has hampered the production
from a chorus standpoint.

Happy Over improvements.
The formal dedication of the Friends
church, which has been under process
OF enlargement and much needed re-
pairs, took place Sunday. Rev. Eli
son r. Purdy, Of Oskaloosa, former
pastor Of this church, had the services
in charge. He spoke on the subject of
the olden time worship and synagogs,
leading up to the present day worship
with its modern church edifices. The
keynote of the discourse was that
Christ should be the center and foun.
dalton Of the church, and that He
should dwell in our midst as a church.
Rev. Zeno III. Doan read Solomon's
prayer at the dedication Of the temple.
Excellent, well prepared music was
furnished, and a subscription taken.
amounting to $500, which added to the
amount already pledged, it is thought
at present, will be sufficient to pay for
the entire improvements.

II a good customer enters a store,
why will the proprietor rush forward
and insist upon doing the selling him.
self? Does he not feel that he Is more
competent or better Qualifed to talk
up his goods than the clerk in his en-
ploy? He certainly does. Why, then,
does he not meet all Of his customers
and do all of the selling himself? Sim
ply because he can't. But along comes
the newspaper man with his sign hang
ing out, "For Sale-A chance to tall"
and the proprietor who buys space IS
given the opportunity to talk to the
whole world about his goods, In his
own way. in his own words, just as
he insists upon doing when important
customers enter his store. What Is
physically impossible for him to do in
person becomes easy in a newspaper
ad.
This same merchant has often told
his friends that. he Is not afraid to
meet catalog house, competition, Chi
cago department store competition, or
any other competition IL the customer
will only give him a chance. What he
means to say Is that 1t every intending
purchaser would come into his store
before he buys this merchant feels con-
fdent OF landing the sale by his abil-
ity to show that his goods are better
bargain than those offered by any 9TH
er competitor. In many cases this is
undoubtedly true, but the trouble is
the fool customer is likely to go about
his business and buy where he pleases
without hunting up all the merchants
who would like chance to talk to him.
Here it is, again, that the newspaper
man comes along with his sign, For
Sale-.A Chance to Talk" and the mer-
chant who buys space is able to reach
the ears Of the whole. community with
his argument without even knowing
what man or how many in a thousand
are thinking about buying. The chance

argument and the picture is what does

= Without any 8OOOS SVSA VCAAG Az Blight
How often has woman entered a
dry goods store for q spool Of thread
and become attracted to pretty dress
pattern which eventually created the
need for new dress! How common 1t
is for men to buy things they see in a
store when they did not even know
| that they needed them before they saw
them! What do you suppose people
did for breakfast foods twenty years
ago, before the easy millions in the
newspaper mans chance to talk were
discovered? The display Of the goods
In the window or, on the shelves created
a new demand in the single customer.
The description and the argument in
an advertisers talk created a new and
unheard-of demand among millions.
-
So It Is with advertising, which has
now become the largest single industry
in the commercial world. The adver-
tiser buys chance to talk and the
newspapers bring him an audience Of
more thousands than he ever saw be-
fore, and of more attentiveness than
any lecturer was ever favored. For
instance, let a newspaper carrier boy
miss subscriber for a single copy and
what a kick is, raised. Would that
same subscriber make half the fuss II
he missed the sermon on Sunday morn
ing? He has paid for the privilege of
reading his paper and he wants 1t. The
newspaper habit has become confirmed
among the American people until hun
dreds of thousands never read any
thing else. With an audience many
times greater than that Of all the
preachers in a town together, and so
attentive that not one can be shut out
without row, is it any wonder that
the newspaper mans chance to talk
has brought colossal fortunes to the
big stores which have bought the
chance and used it. The countless mill
lions which have come to general adj
vertisers have merely demonstrated the
value of such a chance to talk to the
merchant who is not afraid to talk.

sions. Later he revived and was led
from the court room by his stepson,
Charles Woolhiser. Incidentally the
fit served to help him escape punish
ment, for Mayor Ingledue said he did
not have the heart to sentence man
who was suffering the way he was.
The mayor suspended sentence, which
is to be imposed if there is a repetition
of the theft.
Woolhiser was also arrested for lar
ceny, it being claimed that both stole

from the Iowa Central Railroad Com
