ABOUT ADVERTTSING-NO.
The Perambulating
Showcase
By Herbert Kaufman.

The newspaper is huge shop window,
carried about the city and delivered daily into
hundreds of thousands of homes, TO be exam
ined at the leisure of the reader. This shop
window is unlike the actual plate glass show
case only in one respe Cit makes display OF
descriptions instead of articles.
You have often been impressed by the
difference between the decorations of two
window-trimmers, each of whom employed
the same materials for his work The one drew
your attention and held it by the grace and
cleverness and art manifested in his display.
The other realized SO little of the possibilities
in the materials placed at his disposal that I'M
less some one called your attention to his
bungling you would have gone on unconscious
of its existence.
An advertiser must know thar he gets his
results in accordance with the skill exercised
in preparing his verbal displays. He must
make people stop and pause. HIS copy has 10
stand out.
He must not only make a show of things
that are attractive to the eye but are attractive
to the peoples needs as we'll
The windowtrmme must not make the
mistake of thinking that the showiest stocks
are the most salable The advertiser must not
make the mistake of thinking that the showiest
words are the most clinching.
Windows are too few in number to be
used with indiscretion. The good merchant
puts those goods back of his plate glass which
nine people out of ten will want after they
have seen them.
The good advertiser tells about goods
which nine readers out OF ten will buy if they
can be convinced.
Newspaper space itself is only the win
dow, Just as .he showcase is but frame for
merchandise pictures. A window on a crowd
ed street in the best neighborhood, where
prosperous persons pass continually, is more
desirable than one in a cheap, sparsely settled
neighborhood An advertisement in a news
paper with the most readers and the most
prosperous ones possesses great advantage
over the same copy in a medium circulating
among persons who possess less means. 1t
would be foolish for a shop TO build its WIN
dows in the alleyway- JUST as much SO to
put its advertising into newspapers which are
distributed among "alley-dwcllers."

4 Warm Series IN Siuht.

The Virginia and Hibbing ball
teams will fia ht it out on Hibbing
grounds in series of four games,
commencing this afternoon.
The local team has been strenqth-
ened by the a :quisition of "Biddy"
Dolan and JACK Olson, two WE'LL
known players who are said to be
able to tap the sphere occasionally.
Heretofore the weakest point IN
the Virginia bunch has been the
batting average, and several games
this season have been lost because
OF inability to nail the ball at a
critical stage. It is the intention of
the management to gradually over.
come this defect and the close of
the season will prove the Virginia
team the strongest on the range,
beyond doubt.

SociatiOn Team.

SOCl1l0OU UcdU1s
Wix Tredway, the golden haired
pitcher who was featured in the
Northern league and the Northern
Copper Country league for several
seasons, and who has been flinging
for the Virginia team up on the
range this season, has signed a con
tract to pitch for the Minneapolis
team of the American association.
He was in the city yesterday en-
route to the Flour City and said
that he felt certain that he would
make good.
-Tredway is perhaps the speediest
pitcher that has been seen in the
north in years. He is a big strong
fellow with all kinds of smoke, nice
breaks and fine control. Although
he has been on the mound in a
mum Der of games on the range this
season, he has not been able to pull
across the line winner. In every
one of his games he has struck out
not less than nine men and in one
game ID. However, he has not been
able to win despite the fact that he
wassverystingy in allowing hits.

,time,"s said Tired yesterday, but

The company Mas formed for the
purpose of handling a new process

John T. Jones of Iron Mountain.
The process uses much of the gases
that heretofore have been allowed
to escape, and it is claimed that the
furnace can be operated much more
economically than the older styles.

Removes Body to Old Home.

John !. Convery, of SringfeId, Ill.,,
has been in the city the past week
looking after tidings of his brother,
Barney Convery, whom he found
had been killed while walking on
the tracks of the Duluth, Rainy
Lake & Winnipeg on the 9th day
of March, 1907, at a point some thir-
teen miles north of this city.
The files of the Enterprise show
that the man had been brought to
the Lenont Hospital in this city,
where his injuries proved fatal and
he died few days later.
The deceased was carpenter by
trade, but had evidently engaged in
the woods shortly before his un-
timely end, the last heard from him
by the family being from Duluth
about March 1st of last year. Mr..
Convery will have the body ex-
humed and taken to the old home
at Springfield for interment.

FILES FOR CLERK OF COURT
Judge John NJ. Martin of This Cjty After
the Scalp of ''Perky'' .Jehoson.

Judge John NJ. Martin, of this city,
returned Wednesday from Duluth
where he filed on that day his af1i-
davit with the county auditor as a
candidate for the Republican nomi-
nation for clerk of the court.
The action of Judge Martin came
as surprise to many, it having
been unofficially announced that
he considered again filing for the
nomination for judge of probate,
for which Office he made a good
run two years ago.
III his new role he will become
the opponent of P. Johnson, whom
it is understood will file for re-elec-
tion to the office which he has held
for eight years past.
There is some question as to the
expiration of the term of Mr.. John.
son, who was first appointed to the
position eight years ago by the
court to fill vacancy occurring
through the death of the former
incumbent. Whether he was appoint
ed to fill the unexpired term or for
full term is a question which it
may take court to determine, and
point on which Mr.. Johnson has
sought to be everlastingly safe by
running every two years for four
year term.
Mr.. Martin enjoys liberal ac.
quaintance throughout the county,
and in consideration of the long
term of service enjoyed by the pres.
ent incumbent of the position and
his evident intent to hold a life.
lease of the job with the permission
of the voters will unquestionabiv
work to Mr.. Martins advantage.
The fact that Judge Martin is a
range man and the growing senti-
ment among range voters TO support
home men instead of the Duluth
bunch for official favor will also
mitigate in his favor.

GIG INDUSTRIES FOR RA,AIYsRNER
Great Paper and Flour Mills tes be-
Built at Two Border Towns.

w. Fl. Cook, president of the Du-#
luth Rainy Lake & Winnipeg road,
returned yesterday from fort Fran
ces and vicinity and brings news
of much importance to that locality
and of much interest to Duluth,
says the News Tribune. !
He says that it is expected that
the contractors will be on the
ground today with the; men to re-
sumo the work of construction on
the water power plant at Fort Fran
ces and International Falls, and
that the work will now be pushed
forward and completed in the
course of another year. The COM
pletion of the dam and the INSTALL
ing of machinery for the develop
ment of electrical power will call
for the expenditure of about 500, 900
and from 500 to 600 men will be en-
ployed for the year that will be re-
quired to do the work. Thirty thou
sand horse power is to be develop
ed. The kus-Brooks people have
been very energetic in promoting
large things for the Rainy River
country, and the water power plant
is one of these.
Mr.. Cook says that by the time
the power isready for delivery there
will be in existence on the Rainy Riv-
er one of the largestpaper and pulp
plants in the world. The Backus-
Brooks people have also promoted
this large enterprise The plant will
have a capacity of 500 tons of paper
day.
Across the river in Fort Frances
is to be built also one of the largest
flour mills in the world. 1t is to
have a capacity of 10000 barrels a
day. This enterprise is to be pro-
.moted by the Ogilvie Milling COM
pany, which has headquarters at
Winnipeg. The company will also
have grain elevators there and
grind wheat in transit.

But They Meyer Strayed.

W. II. Small, in Journal of Educa.
ton: There are three things every.
body can do better than the men
who are doing them-run a street
railroad, run newspaper and teach
school-and have often wondered
how it happened that no fit men
ever strayed into these three kinds
of work."
And perhaps Mr.. Small might
have added to the list the faculty of
running school meeting.

FAST TRAM 10 CANADA.
New liae viii lasta|l a Twelve nour
Service Soon.

A twelve hour service between
Duluth and Winnipeg is plan that
the officials of~the Duluth, Rainy
Lake & Winnipeg are working upon.
The details of the plan are also be-
ing worked ont by the officials of
the Canadian Northern.
AT the present time the Winnipeg
train leaves this city at $40 p. m.
and reaches Winnipeg at $50 the
next morning. The plan 1s to re-
duce this running time by over six
hours.
The new train over the new short
line route to Winnipeg has proven
a thorough success. The business
has been good and the outlook for
greatly increased business is very
bright. It is for this reason that
the officials are planning to give
the travellers between here and
Winnipeg a much faster service.
To attain this speed the road-bed
between Virginia and Fort Frances
will be thoroughly ballasted. Many
places along the right of way of the
Duluth, Rainy Lake & Winnipeg's
road ar, naturally low and swampy.
To remedy this defect the officials
of the road have kept laborers
hauling sand aud gravel to it. At
the present time the roadbed is in
very good shape. But to reduce the
running time to a twelve hour
schedule it wilt be necessary to
make the roadbed as smooth as
possible. When this is accomplish
ed, it is said tina, the twelve hour
running card will be placed in
effect.
Upon the com pletion of the Wis
consin Centraps extension to this
city there will be a short line be-
tween Duluth and Chicago. A
through sleeper TO be run from Chi
cago to Winnipeg via, this city, will
be the means of bringing much
passenger business to this city that
at the present time goes to Canada
by more round about route. The
freight business of this city will
also be Increased. The linking of
passenger and freight business OF
Chicago, Duluth and Winnipeg will
be most important accomplish
ment for the business interests of
this city.-Hera}d.

COnCerninq SubsCriptiOns.

The following is synopsis Of the
United States supreme court dicis-
ions regarding delinquent cub.
scribers:
Subscribers who do not give ex.
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their
subscriptions.
If subscribers order the discon-
tinuatIce of their periodicals the
publishers may continue to send
them until all arrears are paid.
If subscribers neglect or refuse to
take the periodicals from the post
Office they are responsible until
after they have settled their bills
and ordered their paper discon-
tinued.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
fishers and papers are sent to the
former address subscribers are held
responsible.
The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the
Office, or removing and leaving
them uncalled for is a priina fac1a
evidence of intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance they
are bound to give notice at the end
of the time if they do not want to
continue taking it, otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it
and the subscriber will be respons-
ible until an express notice with
payment for all Arrears is sent to the
publisher.
