ADVERTISING IS 4 BUSINESS PROPOSITION

Buying a newspaper space means buying aud
ieuce The man who has nerve enough to make lib
e contract for advertising must have faith faith in
himself faith in his business and faith in the paper
he pays his money to- Advertising in the greatest
force in business today, but it takes nerve to use
it.
The tinid merchant looks at his space in the
paper aud finds it hard to how it is worth 50
much He can't 60 with his ad into the thousands Of
homes each day and see it do its work. The fact is the
space is not the thing he pays for at aspace is only
the medium through which he conveys an impression
of his store and his goods to thousands Of prospective
customers each day. He can't reach them any other
way TheImerchant that doen't advertise :doesnt
reach them at all:
THE real vaue-the intangible thing he buys
is an effect on peoples minds.
''The best asset business canihave is to be con
tinually Impressed upon thousands Of human minds
You can't see you can't feel it, but it does its work
and sells goods.
These are points worthy Of the consideration Of
every new spaper advertiser and those who negg
ent Of their advertising should sit up and take notice
Of the opportunity that is being daily allowed ito slip
by without the full advantages being obtained.
In placing your ad in the paper it goes before a
great audience Of people who have money to spend.
The very fact that they regular subscribers TO the
daily paper is evidence of the fact that they pro-
gressve seeking the best values for theirImoney
and have money to spend Suppose all the readers of
you standing personally before the audience
tell them ofyour store and the supeortory of your
good would be done just as you advertising.
In many cases there would be material differ
ence. The though would be, what can I say to in
its Of my and goods?"T talk would be prepar
ed with great care and considerable thought, and

THE SITUATION WELL STATED

4
The following paragraph from an editorial in the
Kansas City Journal describes the statehood situa-
ton inst as accurately now as it did before the in
surgents were defeated The bill passed the House to-
day and therefore according to the Journal view we
must look to the President to lead US out Of the wild
erness.
The journal expresses its views as follows;
''If the insurgents fail in the house and the ON
nbus bill passes in its present form the only hope Of
statehood left to oklahoma and Indian Territory will
be that President Roosevelt will recede from his posi-
ton and recommend that the statehood question be
divided in two and that the twin territories be admit
ted regardless Of the fate Of Arizona and New Mexico
The senate is almost sure to refuse the omnibus bill
in its present form, and the bill win die, with the
session unless Mr. Roosevelt brings his great influence
to bear upon Speaker Cannon who has declared that
there shall be no statehood legislation at all save that
which he favors. Mr.. Roosevelt promised when he
was in Oklahoma last spring to do all he could to Sc
cure stcehood for the twin territories and the peo-
pie Of Oklahoma and Indian Territory have faith that
he will not fail to redeem his promise on account of
fanced political advantage 10 be gained by fore
ing joint statehood upon Arizona and New Mexico
1t is not believed that Roosevelt cares very much
about the matter anyway, and there is reason to hope
that he will respond TO the appeal Of the people Of the
territories when the emergency arises.

IMMIGRANTS CROWD THE KANSAS
CITYSTATION BOUND FOR
THE LAND OF PROMISE
ARE COMING TO OKLAHOMA
All the Southwestern Railways Run
Excursions for HOmeseekers-
More to Follow

Kansas City Star: Today was
homeseekers day at the Union de-
pot. Every train from the east
brought in bronze-faced farmers
travelling from points days jour
ney from Kansas City to the land
of promise in the west and the
southwest. They came in extra
cars attached to the regular trains
and in special trains. From the
Kansas City gateway they depart
ed in as many directions as they
entered the city.
where are you going pard-
ner?" a bearded young farmer ask
ed. speaking to another man in
the throng. IF this crowd lets
me git anywhere" the answer
came, II am going to 60 down in
the Panhandle. You see there
we're three of us boys and when
we came of age pa gave each of us
eighty acres. l got as pretty a
piece Of Illinois bottom land as
you most ever see. But my wife
and / lowed that if we sold our
eighty the money got for it would
buy Almighty lot Of land down in
the Panhandle. And we sold out
Cot $50 an acre for the land. too.
We brought the two children along
We got money to buy land. By
the time the children get big
enough to 60 to shool we'll have
school houses. We won't be lone
some. Some of our neighbors
are down there already and more

that it is exactly Gods country we
are going to, but it looks pretty
good to u.s."
1t was a typical case. Hun
dreds of farmers are speeding
westward today from Kansas
City. Some are going to the rich
lands of Oklahoma and the Indian
Territory, some to the Pecos valley
in New Mexico, others to the new
land opening around Amarillo and
Hereford to the Santa Fe. The
Frisco and the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas are taking many to points on
their lines in the southwest.

APPRAISING THE PASTURE
West Of Duncan-Land does not Come
up to Expectations Boomers on
Hand.
Duncan 1. T. Aug 10


The appraisers are busy apprais-
ing pasture No. 3 west of Duncan
and have almost completed their
work. They are very much sur
prised at the grade of land, Mr..
Thomas said that they expected
to find SOM fine country here but
instead they were doomed to dis
appointment, as yet they had not
found 40 acres of level land in the
pasture and Of very low grade at
that. The lessees, are waiting
patiently the returns from the ap-
praisement so that they may know
what their homes will cost them.
Fortunately the crops are good and
they will not have to borrow any
money to make payment on the
land.
This has been one Of the best
crop years this pasture has ever
seen as her tofore that had been
considered an rid part of Oklaho-
ma.
This section has been visited 10y
quite lot of rains this year which
has hindered quite lot in thresh-
ing and hay making.
We are told that those lessees
holding more than 100 acres in
pasture No. } will have to let go
as the preference right comes un-
der the homestead law and no one
will be allowed to hold more than
one fourth section.
There are hundreds Of covered
wagons going TO and from the big
pasture No. I who have been out
prospecting but most all report the
land not worth the minimum price
SET on it by the government, that
the Indians have taken all the
best and most of them go home
never to return. The general opin-
ion by those who have beeu and
looked over this large body OF land
is that 1t is greatly over rated.

day the total subscription had reach

mounting up. At this rate the

Passing the hat is job that
most people shrink from aud it
isn't the most pleasant work in the
world, but when a committee
strikes a bunch of good Indians
as they did yesterday, for the most
part, it isn't so bad. Most Of the
business men met them pleasantly
and very cheerfully came though
with their donations. OF course
some bad ones were encountered,
but generally speaking, merchants,
lawyers, doctors and all, were
ready the give their money and the
words of encouragement that make
a committee feel good.

John Crib, S. H. Leech and an

Tue EXPRESS would like to re-
cord the remarks made by the var
ious people who were touched, but
it is lacking in space as well as III
courage--might lose some valued
subscribers. Most Of il would look

Lemon Of the firm Of Jackman &
Lemon, always in for their part,
was the first man TO be interview
ed. He just took a blank and
wrote $50" doubling his firm S
former subscription. An then a
bunch of lawers and doctors were
met and they were told that S. a.
piece was the amount of their tax
they didn't stop to parley, too busy,
but just wrote the amounts as re-
quested. Small restaurants and
cold drink stands were next visited
and not one of them failed to make
good.
Have It at the fair grounds. it
will be orth twice as much as a
street fair" said Harry Cash Of
the firm Of Tignor & Cash. and he
doubled his subscription. Pat
Tolan did the same thing and so
did Frank Rosenquest. ITS a
shame for Chickasha to allow
every dinky little town in the coun-
