Heney concluded his speech in a

Sheriff Carl Hayden of Phoenix, Ariz,,

Calexico, Mexico, having In custody
John L. Mcdowell, formerly cashier of

Phoenix. A few hours later the sheriff

Mcdowell left Phoenix in July last
and after his departure 1t was discov-

his return to Arizona, as the bank Of

alleged defalcations. Two months ago
he disappeared from Ocean Park and
his whereabouts were not learned until
Thursday, when he was located in
Mexico. McDowell's family still lives

The past ten years has apparently
been the era of the get-rich-quiCk
man. No sooner does one scheme
play out than another takes it's place.
Thanks to the ever diligent postal
inspectors, and an unrelenting gov
ernment, the schemers are not so
plentiful as few years ago. For
some years a number of supposed le-
gitimate grain and stock brokers
thrived in both eastern and western
cities. These were active in soliciting
through the mails and through local
offices the business of small investors.
The millions of money gained from
the unsuspecting people will never be
known.
Once the government got on the
right trail there were Irregularities
discovered that resulted in fraud or.
ders being issued against a number
of the concerns. The end is not yet
and the work of determination will be
kept up till there is no fake mining
or oil or plantation companies in op
Grafton. Buying stocks in fair mar
ket is risky business, but when there
are schemers to stack the cards
against the investor, there is not a
ghost Of a show for him.

WAYS TO ADVERTISE
REACHING THE PEOPLE WITH
TRUTH FoRcIRLY EXPRESSED.
UTILITY OF HOME NEWSPAPERS
They Bring the Best Results to the
Merchant When Rightly Used
Some Merit in Circulars
and Letters.

There is advertising, and there Is
advertising. One kind is the almost
money-Wasted kind, and the other of
the class that counts. The merchant
who has always placed little faith in
advertising is the one who has never
tried it in the right way. He is the
one who places little card In the
paper, merely stating that he is
dealer in such and such goods. He
is the one who is always grumbling
about business, about the ways OF
ether merchants, and the trade that
goes away from the town.
It is all in how the advertisement
is built, both in wording and tyro-
graphically, and what kind of circn-
lating medium it i5 placed in. When
advertising, it is essential that the al
vertiser say something, and say that
something right to the point. 1t is
a pretty good idea to give prices.
Prices always appeal to the purchas-
ing public. 1t matters not whether
| they are a little lower or a little
higher than somebody else's prices,
to give prices and preach cheapness,
quality and bargains, will attract at
| tention. There never was any money
made by the small merchant In the
| rural city or town that won out by ly-
ing. Lies may do for the mail-order
houses, the department store and the
cheap-John in the big city, but never
do we'll for the merchant in the small
town.
The merchant who builds up repu
tation for honest goods, a square deal
and prices that are right, will win,
He gets the people to think that he
is ION the square" that he is selling
goods at honest profits, and keeps his
advertisement ev6r before them and
finds that it pays. The merchant who
wins must be up-to-date. He must
know about new goods, understand
the latest ideas in his particular line,
and be quick to put all good ideas into
practice.
Circulars are only good as flyers.
They are not supposed to take the
place of regular newspaper adVertls
ing. They are short-lived, and good
only for the advertising of kind that
can be classed as ''transitory Watcn
the successful merchant, and you will
find that he rarely uses circulars, un
less for placing in packages of goods
This is a thing that should not be
overlooked. 1t is a good idea to have
a lot of circulars advertising new
goods, specialties, etc, and place one
in every package. This is good way
to make announcement Of the arrival
or the expected arrival of new stocks
But circular advertising should be only
supplementary to the regular newspa

OFFERING OF BONUSES.
Not All Enterprises Asking Assistance
Prove to Be Good Things.

Many towns that are anxious to Sc
cure manufacturing enterprises that
will afford employment for the peo-
pie receive propositions from different
concerns desirous to locate somewhere
where the people will loosen the
strings on their purses and put up a
bonus. The bonus proposition is all
right sometimes, but in the majority
of cases it means Just so much money
lost. There are hundreds of towns
in the country that have tried the
bonus deals, and with regret to the
ones who supplied the cash. 1t may
be all right to subscribe for stock in
meritorious concern that is strug-
Cling for capital to carry on its oper-
atoms In fact it is always a good
idea to have the stock of any manu-
featuring enterprise owned by the
people of the town where the concern
is located. But too often the bonus
hunter. is simply bonus hunter and
his enterprise is not likely to amount
to much.

ADDING LIFE TO THE TOWN.
Summer Festivities Can Be Made
Helpful as Well as Entertaining.

The village store Is a department
store on a small scale. By it the
wants of the community are supplied.
Sometimes, perhaps, there is not trade
enough for a store to conflne itself to
only one line. While the farmers
wife and daughters are looking about
with a view of buying their dresses,
his sons and perhaps himself like &c
look at the clothing, the hats and all
kinds of wear for men. The up-to-date
storekeeper should see that the wants
of all are attended to. He shouldn't
give a prospective customer the op-
portunity to go elsewhere. He should
find out what the customer wants, and
if it is not in stock, give him to I'M
derstand that 1t can be gotten for
him.
Every town of any size has some
festivities during the summer season.
If it is not customary to have such
events in the place, the merchants
shoRld get busy, and if nothing else,
get up a horse race, a display of some
kind, and it will be found that the
people will appreciate It.
One live business man in a town
can do a lot single handed if he sets
out in the right way. There is no law
to prevent the starting Of a contest
among the farmers. Get up list OF
prizes for the ones bringing in any
and all kinds of products. Make the
contest one that will attract atten
ton. Let the clothier give suit ot
clothes, the jeweler a watch, some
thing useful, it matters not much wha
it may be, for the biggest watermelon
the greatest apple or any other thins
grown by the farmer. Have unpreju
diced judges. Have the deal fai
one. 1t will bring people to the place
and this is what pleases the townspeo
pie as well as the residents of thu
country.

Disturbed Musical Circles.

Musical circles in Germany are part
ly amused, partly shocked at the con-
duct of two orchestra leaders who
have sinned against tradition and good
taste. In Salzburg when the director
of the opera-house orchestra appeared
at his desk to lead Elm Walzertraum"
it was noticed that his baton was not
the orthodox bit Of silver-tipped ebony,
but a rough stick more than half
yard long. But he was grave and
not until the audience began to mutter
did he pick up his proper staff. He
had made bet with friend that he
would lead the opera with broken
broom handle. The other case is that

When he took his position in the or

and presently returned with a cook
ing spoon he had found In the theater
kitchen, and with that he conducted
Wagner's "Tannhauser" with perfect
success.

Coogan turned to the policeman.
