Too many advertisers have little
conception of the powerful engine that
the daily paper places at their disposal,
says writer in Printers Ink. 1t
stands there all fired up and ready to
speed. The manufacturer takes his
seat i'm the cab, moves lever, and
presto! he is off with the force of an
avalanche. The daily paper accom-
plishes- certain definite, quick results
such as no other medium can supply.
This is from the pen of the advertis-
ing manager of large concern which
advertises in newspapers throughout
the country. He has built up a profit
able business for his house by prac-
ticing his preach.
The general advertisers who have
given all kinds of mediums trial are
almost invariably the most enthusiastic
believers in the superiority of the daily

SENATE COMMITTEES REPORT STRONG
FOR COMMISSION FORM OF GOVERNMENT

One of the best arguments for the
commission form of government for
cities is. a report made by a subcom-
miitee of the Illinois senate which has
plan in Texas cities. This has been
done to better inform the senate rela-
tive to the bill now before the legisla-
ture authorizing Illinois cities to adopt
the commission form if they wish. The
cities visited are Galveston, Houston
and Dallas. The report points out
the salient features observed in the
cities named, and concludes with the
following:
Your committee has pointed out
some of the salient features in the
charters of each of the cities of Gal
weston, Houston and Dallas. Many of
these provisions are good, some are
questionable. We have had no desire
to emphasize features of doubtful pro-
priety. but our purpose rather has been
to point out these provisions, together
with good provisions, as helpful guides

denim the system of board of COM
missioners appointing an auditor. An
auditor should be independent and
free from obligation to officials whose
actions, books and accounts he is re-
Iquired to audit. The provisions of the
charter of Dallas on this question,
while not free from criticism, disclose
an effort to obviate this Objectionable
feature.

citizens favoring the commission form

and extinguishSd his life after he had
narrowly escaped death in various
forms. He was crossing Railroad ave
nue., White Plains, which was crowded
with vehicles, and jumped out of the
way of carriage, only to get in front
of trolley car. He made a desperate
leap to escape the trolley car and land
ed almost in front of a speeding auto

saved him from being run down.
The old man had almost reached
safety, when young man riding BIZ

His head struck the pavement and
he died an hour later at the hospital.

The cyclone season is at hand,
And very soon throughout the land
The natives will be treated to
AS fine n breeze as ever blew,
And they viii see, to their surprise,
Their household treasures In the skieA
A cloud no larger than a hand
VIII very suddenly expand
Until it looks as large, We'll say,
AS some account ?ou cannot pay.
And its playful onward flight
VIII pick up everything in sight.
The barn before this master grip
VIII from its firm foundations slip
And like a modern airship will
Go sailing over yonder hill
And. evoiuting wide and neat.
Will settle In field of wheat.
To follow in its train of course
: Will be a buggy and horse.
Some cattle and drove of swine
And other critters in that line
To come down scattered far and wild,
AS with the cyclones within they rids.
The cyclone is a playful sprite,
For things inanimate take flight

And sends its forces down the line.
