place in October or November, will also
be large affair, If their present plans
hold good. 1t will be a house we'd

Moultons' handsome new home at Fair

will be married very quietly on Thurs
day, the wedding taking place in the
presence of the brides mother and
sister, and the groom's only brother
and his wife. The latter, who are the
Roy Somers, were married themselves
only Is months ago. The reason for
the extreme simplicity and smallness

WHAT ADVERTISERS SPEND.

| Advertisements in the United States
have a circulation of more than a
| quaddlllion readers annually. and the
national bill for advertising, according
| to figures collected by Appleton's
magazine. reaches the enormous sum
of $6OO,o00,000. The paper upon which
| these advertisements are printed would
| cover all the New England States and
| part of New York. while the ink used
would make a lake large enough TO
| float the fleet which is now in the
Pacific. Newspapers alone. according
to these statistics. receive nearly $780,
10000 annually for advertising, while
| monthly periodicals, whose develop
ment is peculiarly American, print
every year thirty times the equivalent
OF the contents of the Bible and all the
dramas of Shakespeare combined.
The present year marks the fortieth
anniversary of magazine advertising,
which is much younger than news
paper advertising. 1t was I'm 1868, ac-
cording to the Appleton article that
magazine advertising first received
any serious attention. ana even after

ing. Today a magazine without adver-
Using could hardly exist.
The first magazine advertisement it
IS recorded, appeared in a Philadelphia
publication and curiolsly enough was
prepared particularly to reach women,
| the originator of the whole tremendous
fabric as it exists today being inspired
by one line of a jingle commenting on
the procllvitieS of the fair sex TO the
| effect that they were the ones who
spent the money.
While classification of all kinds OF
ads and their number would be
herculean task, it is certain that the

fact and in the wonderful growth OF

Organism is Populism. thinly dis

dreaming, translated into sound. 1t

il is political patent machine, a
cure-all for every ethical and eco

who like this sort of thing are welcome
to it. They can now enlist with the

old-lina Democrats, the men who be-
leved IN what Jefferson taught. and

long fingered in the hope that they
could guide the party back to reason,
can leave the party now. They must
