INSANITY INCREASING
$50 PER CENT YEARLY.
Is World Going Crazy?" Asks
Kentucky Asylum Head in
Annual Report.

Frankfort, KY, Nov. 81. rs the
world going crazy, and if so, how
can the tide be turned?"
This problem is put up to the Board
of Control of Charitable Institutions
of Kentucky by Doctor Louis H. Mil
liban, superintendent of the Lakelan
Asylum, and the board is asked to
aid in solving it. Several plans are
suggested and the board is urged to
have the next General Assembly APP
point committee to investigate the
problem.
Heredity and drunkenness are the
cause of nearly one-half of all the in
sanity in the world, according to sta
tistics furnished by Doctor Mulligan
in his report to the board this year.
A warning note comes from Doctor
Mulligan when he informs the board
that insanity is increasing six times
as rapidly as the population, and
while it can never be entirely elimi-
mated, it can, in a measure be check
ed.
Doctor Mulligan says in his report:
THE increase Of insanity in all the
civilized countries of the world is one
of the serious problems of the age,
for it is everywhere in excess of all
proportion to the growth of popula-
tons.
Indeed, insanity seems to be a
disease of, or attendant upon civiliza-
ton; for, while it is found among all
people, regardless of social advance
ment, its great prevalence is to be
noted only as coexistent with civiliza-
ton. The many theories which seek
to furnish explanation for this I'M
pleasant fact do not belong to a re-
port of this character, but the in
crease seems certainly abnormal, and
its alarmingly constant progress is a
condition, and not theory.
TT has arrived at the point where
the question is asked, 'Is the world
going crazy?" And that the condi-
ton is such that it may be summarize
ed by even so careless an inquiry, is
sufficient to awaken us to the gray
ity of the situation"

Cam is secretary of their reading cir
Gle in Walnut township, and she re-
ports very interesting meeting and
especially the part rendered by Miss
Emily WOOdfin.
Prof. Bass, of Warrensburg, who
is to attend our Prairie City meeting,
and DIR. McAllister, who is to be in
Rich Hill the 9th, write us that they
are anxious to get acquainted with
Bates county teachers.
The Prairie City meeting was the
most successful one of the years in
the way of attendance Of patrons.
Every seat was taken and much in
terest was manifested. The people
of that part of the county have the
right school spirit and are to be COM
mended for their progressiveness.
All the teachers, excepting one, were
prepared on the program.
Prof. Bass gave a most excellent
talk on Teaching History. He dis
cussed fully the teaching of sew
enth year U. S. History. Teachers
having trouble with this should have
been present. He insists that pa.
triotism should be international and
not sectional as it usually is. He en-
phasized the need of a library for
teaching the subject in the best way.
The nice school yard and rooms caus.
ed him to 60 out of the way to say a
few words along that line. The Prof.
expressed desire to visit Bates
again. We expect to give him the
opportunity.
Miss Cleo Hartley, Of Coleville in
Deer Creek township, writes us thai
there was not a pupil tardy during
the first quarter of her scoool. This
speaks well for both teacher and
pupils, and the school has many Other
equally strong points. Miss Hartley
says she got many good and useful
points during the association and
thinks il the best association we have
had.
We attended the Pleasant Gap
Reading Circle last week. Only one
teacher was absent. They have a
very interesting circle and are plan
ming to make their meeting Dec.
10th more interesting than any yet.
Teachers in adjoining townships are
invited to attend.
At Miller school, in Mt. Pleasant
township, they were taking a test
under the teacher, so we did not pro-
long our part of the work. The
pupils made a very creditable show
in on all we gave them. There are
several pupils here who are going to
try finishing on county graduation.
Mrs. c. c. Lyle is teaching the school
and has been for several years and
will continue to teach it as long as
she cares to. This is one school
board that does not change teachers
every year.

ABOUT SALE ADVERTISING.
People Generally are Getting to
Realize the Value of News
papers.

How the sale advertising has
changed in the past few years." re-
marked farmer who was in the
Free Press Office a few days ago get
ting sale bills and sale advertising in
the newspapers. We then told him
what had been our observation. The
present management of this paper
has had charge a little over nine
years. When we first took charge it
had been the custom to get a few
sale bills printed. some on paper and
some on card board. but most of
them on common newspaper. When
Col. E. B. Piper came here he said to
cut out the paper bills and have all
the bills printed on card board.
Then. as now, he recommended
newspaper advertising. The men
who were going to have the sale took
kindly to the card board proposition
but did not take kindly to the news
paper proposition. On an average
about one in five took a little news
paper advertising amounting to
about 500. AS time went on more
took the newspaper advertising and
as time passed they demanded larger
space to tell what they were going to
sell. Now a man who is going to have
a sale figures more on the newspaper
advertising than on the bills. No
more little "dink" advertisements,
but big displays-the kind that can
be read and are read. The larger
the sale advertisement the better for
the man who is going to have the
sale. Take for instance the sale ad-
vertisement this week of ]. w. Leon
ard. r. A. kelso, and Robinson &
Cooper. These are $500 advertise
ments for each issue. In one week
we can tell more people about these
sales than can be told with 500 bills,
besides we put the advertisement in
the house. free of charge, where it
will be read and referred to. To
put up enough bills to tell the same
number of people would cost more
than $500 for printing the bills and
several times that amount to post
them. Then if a rain comes like last
week they are washed down and
blown away and you have no adver-
tisement. But the newspaper is there,
is in the home and can be referred to
at any time. November 13 we had
sale advertising aggregating $4,000;
last week we had $1,000 in sale ad-
vertising. This week we again have
$34 worth. These are the big weeks
In the spring of the year the horse
men use a liberal amount of space
and they say they are pleased with
the results. There are a few old
fogies who don't believe it pays to
advertise, but like the lynch pin
wagon and wooden plow, they are a
back number and are being run over
by the more enterprising of the day.

What this world needs is doctor
to administer to the sick and debil-
itated consistency of men. The thing
wabbles around like monkey with
bad case of vertigo and it's speech
is in fearful opposition to it's pets.
For instance, just listen to the roar
that goes up If bill of goods comes
to town from a mail order house
that should have been filled by the
home merchant. And then watch
these same merchants give their cal
endar and stationery orders to an
outside firm when the home print
shop stands ready to give them a
better deal. Not all business men
are thus constituted but in every
town there are enough of such fell
lows to furnish nice line of work
for the consistency doctor.-Wil-
Journal.

A writer on advertising topics hits

A writer on advertising topics hits
a bull's-eye by saying: Have you
ever considered an advertising cam
paign from the standpoint of an in
surancy policy? You insure against
such contingencies as fire, shipping
disaster, dishonest employees, ETC., as
a matter of course, but the moment
someone mentions advertising as a
business builder for your particular
benefit, you Immediately begin to
'heuge and vow that you cannot af-
ford such an expensive luxury. etc.
Have you ever thought that you can
be insured against the greatest of all
commercial calamities, loss of trade?
Well, you can. This view of adver-
Using is already accepted by many
of the most successful business
houses. The day is past when the
progressive merchant wastes time
discussing whether or not advertis-
ing pays. That the right kind of
advertising pays has been so thor
oughly and conclusively demon
strated, the wise business man now
adays regards his advertising ap-
preparation as a fund for business
insurance and would as soon think
of dispensing with insurance against
fire as to invite business disaster by
| lack of advertising.

HORSES LIKE HUMAN BEINGS
Sehumann StalIions Present Act That
 Astonishes the World.

In the history of animal training there has been nothing that can ap- proach the wonderful performance of the Schumann stallions which will be seen here with Ringing Brothers worlds greatest show on Monday. September 27. It is the latest achieve ment of the wizard trainer, Albert Schumann of Berlin. and it was en- gagged by foreign agent of Ringing Brothers for one of this seasons features.
 These horses waltz on their hind legs. roll each other around in inn mense brewery barrels, smoke pipes and play on bells. In it's strictest sense it is the only trained horse act that has ever been seen in America those of the past season having been but horses broken to do a set of tricks at the cue of their trainers. These Schumann animals actually exercise an almost human intelligence.
 The double somersaulting automo- bile act of Mile. La Belle Roche is another sensational feature and by far the most dangerous and thrilling
Arizona republican., 1909-09-14

mapped out yeesterday and is as fol- lows:
 From Capitol east to Center street on Washington: thence north on Cen on Indian school road to Grand canal; thence north and west on Grand canal to the old Black Canyon road, or Seventh avenue: thence south on the old Black Canyon road to Adams road; thence west on Adams road to the new Black Canyon road; thence south on the new Black Canyon road to the Fair grounds; thence east to Center street; thence south on Center street to the grammar school.
 The tour of the valley will begin from the capitol, where the president will be driven immediately after his arrival He will reach Phoenix short ly before noon, October 13. At the capitol he will make a short speech from the portico and then be driven about the valley in an automobile. ter minating at .1e grammar school, where he will be greeted by the pupils.
 There will be about fifteen automo- piles to carry the presidents and-the governors parties about the valley. There will probably be about forty five persons who will accompany the president on this trip. The governors party will be composed of perhaps twenty-five.
 The committee of arrangements,
Arizona republican., 1909-09-14

which is composed of George Purdy Bullard, chairman; Shirley Christy. Arthur Ainsworth. James S. Griffin, Frank Hildebran, F. D. Lane, w. D. Fulwiler and c. T. Hirst, drew up the route yesterday. The following in structions to those who live on the line of the route were given out by MT. Bullard with the request that they be carefully observed.
 The most important is that all places and ranches on the route be cleaned of the weeds and brush an1 made as attractive as possible. It is the purpose of the committee to fur nish the president with an adequate idea of what is raised in the valley, and weeds are not on the program. This request cannot be too strongly urged on all An unkept ranch is an eye-sore and brush and weeds by the roadside will not tend toward impress ing the presidential party favorably.
 It is also suggested that owners of cattle will see to it that their stock is let into the fields bordering the road. It will be left to the ownsr to decorate his home with flags or bunt- ing if he sees fit to do so.
 The trip around the valley will oc cupy from forty-five minutes 10 an hour There can be no delay on the journey, ands for this reason it is re- party will give right of way and re-

main off the route as far as possible while the trip is being made. This, of course. applies only to automobiles and rigs.
 It should be noted that through the kindness of owners of automobiles, who have loaned them for the purpose. the journey through the valley will cost the city nothing.
 Every car in the party will be num- bered with chalk and will keep Its in dividual place in the line. Later on will be published the list of those who are to go on the journey and the cars to which each is assigned.
 Chairman Bullard yesterday drove the board of supervisors over the route to see what preparations were necessary.
 The city authorities will take care of the route within the corporation limits. Several days before the ar rival of the presidential party the roads will be sprinkled and kept free from dust and kept so till the tour of inspection is over.
