A STRANGE MISTAKE.

NV daddy says that once he was
A little chap like me.
So why he says the things he does
/ really cannot see.
He says he cannot understand
Why [ so dote noise,
And like to play that I'm a band,
DESERVING quiet toys.
He says he cant imagine why
! stand upon my head
Instead of on my dignity
Like boys who're better bred
He says he cannot comprehend
The reason why | can't
when, up the stairs mount. pretend
That I'm a human ant,
Instead Of stamping on the stair.
AS though l thought that /
Were nothing but lively pair
OF hippopotani.
From all Of which | greatly fear
In days beyond recall
Nv dear old daddy, II IL clear
Was not like me at all.
But like some other little chap
Whose name I never heard,
Who likes to SIT some ones lap
And never says q word

YOU WILL OFTEN BE
Pressed for Money

Many a business man has been surprised find that his
biggest advertising bills were the easiest ones to pay.
That is always true, assuming that they were contract
ed in buying advertising space in the best newspaper me-
dunn in the field. 1t would, of course, never be true if
poor Judgment were used in the planning and executing
of the'advertiSing campaign.
In the cases of prosperous merchants it always hap
pens that big advertising bills and big bank balances
grow, together. out Of the same publicity campaigns.
Non prosperous merChantS-and half prosperous ones
may prove the truth OF this matter in practical way, and
in their own experiences.
We are accustomed to seeing big stores filled with
customers all the time-the direct result Of big advertiS-
ing expenditures. But we do not so often see the small
stores and shops crowded. Too many OF them are con-
tent to get the overflow patronage. the happened in peo-
Pile, the people who 90 to the nearest place.
Any little store whose advertising expenditures for
newspaper space are doubled this year. will find its sales
and profits CORRESPONDENCE increased. Even a small in
crease OF expenditure. in the right direction, for publicity.
will bring a notable quickening of store activity. store
profits.
Effective. adequate advertising in the Morning Journal
not only pays for itself. it pays for an increased equip
ment and all that goes with a bigger store and growing
store needs.
