All are negroes and it is said
that all but about three Of the
bunch are good hard workers,
and that the cause of their
crimes is traceable, purely and
simply, to whisky.
AS long as crime is condoned
In some instances and punished
in others. we NAV expect a con-
tinuance of the violation of the
laws of the country.
We are not an alarn1ist, but it
is potent to everyone that the
entire country is in a bad state
of affairs, and the good old
county OF Oktibbeha, it now ap-
pears, is no..onger an exception.
Never in the history Of the
county has there been such a
showing Of criminality. Think
of it! Ten prisoners go from
this county to the state pen
itentiary from one term Of the
court.
It cannot be said that it is on
account of the rapid increase of
immigration. All are natives,
no doubt, born and reared here.
Our population comes as near
being stationary as a county
could be. We have a population
of about twenty thousand, and
the previous ten years, nineteen
thousand; we think that is
about the correct ratio, at any
rate. mot far from wrong"

mupity must Jock after the evil
doors and execute quick judge.

worse. No Country is worth
diving in where lawlessness is
tolerated and the criminal is in
the ascendancy. Such is NOT the
case in Oktibbeha county, but il

shall be only a matter OF time
when we shall not be what we
ahould desire. We must execute
the law without fear, favor OF

ABOUT ADVERTLSING-NO.6 6
If 1t Fits You Wear
This Cap
By Herbert Kaufman
By Herbert Kaufman

Advertising isn't a crucible with which
lazy, bigoted and incapable merchants can
turn incompetency into success-but one into
which brains and tenacty and courage can be
poured and changed into dollars. 1t is only
short cut across the fields-not moving
platform. You can't 'get there" without
'going some"
It's game in which the eoorker-not the
shirker-gets rich.
By its measurement every man stands for
what he is and for what he does, not for what he
was and what he did. s.
Every day in the advertising world is another
day and has to be taken care of with the same
energy as it's yesterday.
The quitter can tsnrUiUe where the blugge,
has a ghost OF a chance.
Advertising doesn't take the place of busi-
ness talent or business management 1t simply
tells what the business i, and hoqO it is managed.
The snob whose father created and who is
content to live on what was HANDED to him
can't stand up against the man who knows he
must build for himself.
What makes you think that you are entitled
to prosper as we'll as competitor who eVorks
teOice as hard for his prosperity?
Why should as many people come to your
store as patronize shop that makes an endeavor
to pet their trade and shows them that it is
svorth evhile to come to its doorsP
Why should newspaper send as many Gus
toners to you in half the time it took to fill an
establishment which advertised teOice as long
and paid tqOice as much for its publicity?
This is the day when the best man wins
after he broves that he is the best man-when
the best store wins, when it has shown that it is
the best store-when the best goods win, after
they've been demonstrated to be the best goods.
Hyou wantthe blumyou can't tgetit by lying
under the tree with your mouth open waiting
for it to drop-too many other men are willing
to climb out on the limb and risk their necks
in their eagerness to get it away from you.
Itisa mans game-this advertising Just
hanging on and tugging and straining all the
time to pet and keep ahead. 1t is the finite ex-
preston of the law of competition which sits in
blind-folded justice over the markets OF the
world.

Premium Lists Ont

The Tribune office this week printed
the premium list for the fair. Liberal
premiums are offered, and everyone is
requested to bring something for exhi-
bition and thus increase the size of the
display. No fair can be successful un-
less the ranchmen bring in enough Of
their products to make a good show and
an exhibit from each of them would
make display to be proud of.
The entertainment this year will be all
that could be desired There will be
two harness races and three running
races and some good fast horses will be
on the track. A footrace has also been ar.
ranged for. In addition balloon ascen-
sion and other special attractions will go
to make it day of amusement to be re-
membered with pleasure.
The Denver Post Boys band has been
engaged for the occasion. Copies Of
the premium list and speed program
may be obtained from Secretary Long.
