 In the meantime practically noth- ing has been said regarding his candi- dacy for congress. When he made the announcement through these columns more than year ago he declared that there was no campaign at that time and that until it opened there would 6e nothing to say with the single ex- ception that he would go to congress to see that the Mississippi Valley re- ceiyes the attention due it. and that Arkansas claims be presented 10 the national legislature as they have 8 right 10 be

HOW BANKS INCREASE
BUSINESS.

Des Moines bankers are learn
ing to advertise. This is the
great reason that Des Moines
banks are growing so rapidly.
Advertising in the banking BUSH
ness is a new departure, but it is
accomplishing wonderful results.
A local banker who has been us
ing page after page of display
advertising in the local newspa-
pers recently said:
Through our advertising ]
believe we have increased our
number of depositors one-third in
the past few months.
Pittsburg banks are spending
about a million dollars every year
in display advertising. The big
newspapers of that city contain
more advertising from the banks
in towns than from the depart
ment stores. The success that
has followed their efforts has led
Des Moines men to follow in their
wake. The enterprising bankers
of the city are quick to see the
possibilities of advertising in ed
ucating the people to save. The
others will soon be forced to fol-
low in their footsteps or suspend.
