SUCCESSFUL MANS ADVICE,
Believes that JudIcious Advertising Is
TO Save the Local Store.

In an address before the
Southern Iowa Editorial as
sociation, Hon. Joseph Fl. OAR
rah, the leading merchant in
Charlton and a member of the
house of representatives from
Lucas county. made note
worthy address on the subject
of retail advertising.
He declares that the mail
order houses are a living ex-
ample of the value of retail ad-
vertising. These mail order
houses" he says, carry prac-
tically everything made, but
there is scarcely town in Iowa
where you cannot obtain in
some store almost anything
carried by mail order house,
and it is my judgment that if
the retailer of the country
would bid as strongly for the
trade of every family in his
community as do the mail or
der houses by placing a circular
occasionally in their hands
through the mails and as fire.
quently as possible an adver-
tisement in a local newspaper,
that the business of Iowa will
in the future be transacted to a
very large degree in. the stores
of Iowa and the mail order
competition will cease to be
nightmare to the retailers of
the state."
Mr.. Darrah tells in the ad-
dress what advertising has
done for him and personal
testimony is always valuable.
He says:
I am a firm believer in the
generous use of printers ink.
[ attribute to very large de-
gree what little success I have
made in business largely to two
things: First, effective adver-
tising that brought people in
my store, and second, the fact
that l delivered the goods when
they came according to the

The first day of my opening

my entire stock. I advertised
some things cheap and I de-
livered the goods when the
people came in response to my
advertisement. The people

some other things which they
might have bought as cheaply

girls parents. This, however, did not
change the minds Of the young couple.
They frequently met and resolved to put
their earnings in a common fund, opened
a bank account In the girls name and in
June, when the deposits had reached
500, they planned their elopement. The
father learned Of the bank account and
as the girl had not yet reached her 18th
birthday he Immediately appropriated
the funds for his own use. Undaunted by
this the lover obtained other funds and
eloped with his sweetheart. A telephone
message from the irste father asked the
sheriff to receive them at Belleville. Kan.
and soon the couple was again in Chester.
Stung by the disobedience of their dauEh-
ter the father and mother determined 10
break up the affair and for weeks re-
fused to allow the girl to leave the house
without their company. Three weeks ago
the girl became III from anxiety and grew
worse from day to day until her death

STANDARD MUST PAY DUTY
Oil Company Runs Up Against New
Phase of Tariff Law.
INVOLVES NSULAR SHIPMENTS
Ten Per Cent Collected on oil Packed
in Imported Tins on which
back Had Been
Paid.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The Standard
Oil company will have TO pay a duty of
about 10 per cent ad Nalorem on oil it has
exported into the Philippine islands since
the new tariff bill became effective, al
though oil under that measure is admitted
into the United States and the Philippines
free of duty. This imposition of the duty
results from the fact that the oil in ques-
ton. the growth and product Of the
United States, was put up In cans made
from imported tin, on which the ~Standard
had accepted a drawback in view Of the
fact that the tins were for the export
trade. Had the standard not asked for
and received the drawback on tin used in
making its cans the oil. together with the
container, would have been admitted into
the Philippines free. While the amount
of duty that will be paid by the standard
on these shipments is not large, the deci-
sion is regarded as Of Importance in es-
tablishlng q precedent.
