A STORE THAT is NOT WORTH
ADVERTISING.

A writer with gift for phrasing
one wrote: IF your store is not worth
advertising. advertise it for sale" His
phrase runs trippingly, but his logic
halts.
To sell a store that is mot worth
advertising" would be to defraud the
buyer-so that the advice is ethically
unsound.
OF course there are not many stores
that are not worth advertising this
city. perhaps. none at all. The fact
is that no store ever gets to be worth
very much--beyond the mere open
market value of stock and fixtures
until it has been adequately adver-
tised Until then it has exerted no in
fluence as an organization, equipped
for useful service TO the people. Il
has simply been place where GER

VICTOR, MURDERER, EXECUTED.
Doomed slayer Shows No Fear When
Trap is Sprung.

Aberdeen, S. D.. Nov. 17--Emil
Victor was executed for the murder Of
Miss Mildred Christie on July 8 last.
Standing beneath the gallows, Sher-
iff John Anderson sprung the trap
which shot the body nine feet below.
Victor's neck was broken and death
was practically instantaneous. Tho
body was placed in charge of an I'M
dertaker and will be buried at River
side cemetery here.
Prior to the execution religious serv.
ices were held in the condemned mans
cell by Rev. F. ]. Graeber, pastor of
the German Lutheran church of Aber.
deem, and Rev. G. Walack, of Rudolph.
Both refuse to say what occurred in
the cell.
Victor maintained the nerve which
has characterized him all through his
imprisonment until the last. As he
started to mount the steps leading to
the gallows he paused and said:
May God forgive my sins and bless
you ALL"
A deputy took his arm to help him
up the steps, and Victor said:
"You need not do that; I can walk
alone"
Victor was by far the coolest man
there. No relatives Of the doomed
man were present.
