The JOURNALS WEEKLY
TALKS TO ADVERTISERS
HAVE YOU BEEN THINKING ?

There may be luck in advertising,
but luck usually comes to those who
advertise most.
If you heal a business man say he
can get along without advertising, you
may be very sure he's just the mai
who needs it most.
A newspaper like the JOURNAL goes
into the readers home, goes in and sits
down with him. 1t is on the table
when he eats, and in his hands while
he smokes after the meal. 1t reaches
him when he is in a receptive mood.
That's one of the many reasons why
JOURNAL advertising brings greater
results than other advertising.
The JOURNAL last week contained
118 advertisements, inserted for 95 diff
ferent advertisers and occupying over
80 inches of space. No dead ads.
among them, all inserted for results by
live advertisers. What better argu-
ment can be produced?
When you are without representation
in the JOURNAL you fail to reach all
the people you seek. The JOURNAL
covers the field completely and its
rapid growth is tremendous. That's
why We are seeking larger quarters.
When hotels and boarding houses
neglect to keep their card in the JOUR-
MAI constantly before the public they
are losing guests. Those who are wise
have learned this and profit. 1t is a
fallacy to believe that the home paper
does not bring results to this class OF
advertisers.
A LITTLE STORY
AT one of the popular hotels on a re-
cent evening the talk took in the char
acter and quality of various newspa-
pers. Among those present was a vel
known food expert, a man who could
analyze a nut or an egg, or an OK OF
any old thing with ease and dispatch.
Someone happened to ask him what
he thought of the JOURNAL. erich
in proteids and carbohydrates BOTH
he said with a laugh. "This whole
business of newspaper service is really
a good deal like the diet problem. A
newspaper ought to be judged by the
nutriment 1t supplies. Just as we
search out the tissue-restoring and
energy-producing foods, so in selecting
our newspaper We should choose one
that contains the right quantity of nu.
tritive substance, combined with good
wholesome flavor. That's the JOUR.
MAI for you.o
"And how about the others?n
"Every one TO his liking. Some OF
them, however, contain too much wa
ter. Did you ever analyze a turnip?'
"No.n
"Well, a turnip has more water in il
than a tumbler of MILK
Moral: Advertise in the JOURNAL.

Baptist Church Services

Last Sunday was an interesting day
at the Wildwood Baptist church and
good congregations attended each SER
vice, the evening service being so
crowded that it was necessary TO bring
in chairs and benches. The church
was prettily decorated and several beau
tiful Easter lilies graced the platform.
Atthe morning service Rev. ID. DeWolf,
of Newark, spoke as did also J. Thomp-
son Baker, Rev. James Nj. Craner and
Pastor Riddle. Rev. l.. Myers, princi-

MONEY FOUND IN

The Last Mystery in the Eli
son Murder Cleared Up By
a Discovery Today.
ROBBERY WAS MOTIVE OF CRIME

As.ociated Press 10 The Evening Timee.
Minneapolis, July 13.-The last
mystery in connection with the Nation
al hotel murder of last Tuesday was
explained today when the safety

and opened under orders from the
county attorney. In it were found two
one thousand dollar bills which Miss
Ellison was known to have drawn
from the National Bank of Commerce
On the day she was slain by Riggs.
The bills were identified by the teller
who had paid them out. In addition
to the money. there was a gold ring
which Riggs had torn from the un-
conscious body OF his victim and
watch which she Is known to have
worn. lnasnluch as Riggs was last
seen at the safety deposit vaults at
1:45 p. m. on the day of the murder,
1t Is now certain that he hurried there
after having given Miss Ellison her
death blow. Thence he proceeded to
his house where he spent part of the
afternoon, coming down town in time
to take out his train for Elroy. Wis.,,
where he was arrested and committed
suicide

TAX PAYERS KICKING.
They Are Protesting Against the City
Being Immersed in Costs,

A number of the tax payers of the
city are making a vigorous protest
against the recent action of the city
couicil in taking up the Jarvis case
in contest. 1t has leaked out that at
the proper time the case will be taken
into the courts and as the action will
be against the city council the tax
payers of the city will be liable for
costs, as there is not a single chance
for the present action to stand in
court. 1t is thought by those who have
investigated the matter that the costs
will run into thousands of dollars, and
as the city's finances are not in such
condition now that it's obligations
can be met, the tax payers are indig-
nant at the course some of the non-
residents are taking in the matter. The
people are willing to be taxed to inn
prove the city but they object to being
taxed for the purpose of gratifying
the animosity of those who have been
so badly defeated at every move they
have made to injure the city.
