No Extra Charge

This incompatible service costs the price of the commonplace. We handle advertising on the usual agents com. mission.
 We multiply results to multiply adver. tising. We create successes because sue. cesses expand. And our revenue comes through expansion, '
 We spend on copy what other great agencies spend on soliciting, and we con- slider it better spent.
 Before we had Advisory Boards, too many campaigns failed to bring back their cost. Other agents have the same experience still.
 Now our failures are so rare, and our successes so great, that our business has multiplied many times over.
 So we need to charge nothing extra. We can better afford to keep accounts than to kill them.
 The service which pays our clients best is the service that best pays Us.

(COntinuea from Page One.) and may God Almighty have mercy on your soul.
 The court said it was firmly of the opinion that all evidence introduced at the trial was competent.
 Judge Jones continuedi
 "I said some time ago to tine grand jury that 1t was a sad, sad day when these men left their quiet homes; that their wives had not t;sken them around the neck and pleaded with them for God Almighty's sake to stop and not band themselves together for such unholy acts; that the evidence in this case is bristling with perjury. and the jury has returned into this court a verdict against Bud Morris ana BOD Huffman of murder in the second de- gree, and which must stand.
 No Mitigating Clrcumstanees.
 "The jury has also returned Yer- dict in the first degree against six or these defendants and in view of the manner in which the lifeNof Quentin Rankin was taken I can see no miti- gating circumstances in this crime. If was not done iIf the heat of passion, and has none of the clements of mit- igating circumstances, and that part of the verdict will be disregarded.
 After a moneAts breathless silence, the court said:
 "Bu0 MOTTlBs you VIII Hldu0 ups
 Tt is the opinion that you be tncar- cerated in the penitenriary for twenty years and be deprived of your rights of franchise."
 Bob Huffman next received the same sentence.
 Judge Jones. after a pause. con tinued:
 Garrett Johnson, you have been tried on a charge of murder in the Grst degree. 4 motion for new trial Is overruled by the court. IL is con sidered and the judgment of the court Is. that you will be remanded to jail until Friday, the 18th day of Febru- ary, 1909. when you will by the sher- in of this county, be hung by the neck until you are dead, and may God AL mighty have mercy on your soul"
 The same Judgment was pronounced on the remaining i've defendants. con- victed of first degree murder.
 Counsel for defendants asked for a writ of error and gave notice of an appeal to the State Supreme Court.
 Perfect silence prevailed in the court room during the pronouncing of the sentences. The defendants. each in turn. arose, pale and worn. and re. ceived the words of Judge Jones.
 The court then directed the sherin to see that the defendants be carefully locked up after a proper guard be sup piled. Court then adjourned
 Arguing Ihe motion for a new trial for the eight night riders, the defense attacked the competency of Jurors Mckinney and Dahnke, asserting that they had expressed opinions as to the guilt of the parties on trial. and that Dahnke was a resident of the State of Kentucky.

 No one else pays for such talent what we pay. So we attract here the very best in the field.
 Then, in this vortex of advertising this school of myriad experiences these men multiply their powers.
 Yet we never permit any one of these men to work out campaign alone. There is too much at stake.
 One man can't know all the pitfalls. One man has limited knowledge, limited ideas and experience. And no one man can average human nature.

He contended that 1t was inconsistent that general prohib- ition bill be in effect concurrently with special acts when the penalties provided were in conflict. He cited the instance of Montgomery County to show that If both the general prohibition act of 1907, and a prior local act affecting this territory were in operation. a vio- 1ation could be punished in different de- grees for the same offense. He added that this was only one of several in- stances in the State where provisions of the local act contained provisions re- pugnant to the general law.

JOHNSON SAYS THAT PRAYER KILLED THE DOG
From Sundays Daily.)

Yesterdays trial of Lee Johnson, accused of poisoning the dog of a man named Webb, resulted in yer diet being given against Johnson, and he was fined $5G This sum was paid. The trial developed some dramatic situations and not a few that were ludicrous, creating intense merriment among the spectators.
 Just before the trial was started, Johnson, who is well known in rous- tabout work of this city, cautiously stepped up to Judge MeLane and whispering in his ear, said: "Looky heah, yo honor. Judge, yo know me, and as a farewell favor, make it as light a fine as yo can."
 The trial then started, and Johu- son boldly and defantly proclaimed his innocence. At one stage in the examination he said: "Dat dog, he bit me right here in de laig, and den I pointed nah finger at him and mahked him. I got, to nah rOem, and den I went down on ahl fours, and Judge, I prayed right out loud to de good Lord, and told him to de stroy dat dog. I went back, and suah enough, dat dog was daid, with a ham or a chicken sandwich between his teeth. De good Lord did de business, Judge.'
 At another time, Johnson said, "Dat dog had not paid his license, and dat it was against de law for a dog to live dataway, anyway" There were two other dogs there who also had not paid Prince what was com ing to the city, and Johnson said he would go and pray for the Lord to smite them, too.
 When Judge MeLane pronounced him guilty and fined him $50, John son went up into the air and loud ly exclaimed: "fWhat!" He seemed dazed, but his friends came to his rescue. and the county was winner a snug sum and Webb got even for the loss of his dog. The principals to this case are eOlOred, and the vast array of witnesses on both sides were also from the colored section.
