In the larger centers Of trade the
value OF advertising is recognized to a
much greater extent than in the rural
districts and still advertising rightly
done pays as well in one as the other.
This is pretty conclusiyely proven by
the experience Of the Hyde Park Saw

a vigorous advertising campaign all
through the state for the past six
months with The result that lis deposits
have increased since July by nearly
q quarter of a million dollars.

The German war ONCE has sent in
structions to Allenstein ordering the
fullest inquiry made into the death Of
Baron Won Goeben, details Of which
are now forthcoming. One morbidly
interesting conclusion is that he must
have bribed the keeper who took his
meals to him not to observe the disap-
pearance of the knife, which. being In
tentionally blunt, he sharpened to q
somewhat rough edge ON the bottom OF
the coarse prison plate with his back
