THE BEST ADVERTISING.

A handsome compliment was paid
the newspaper by Carl D. Spencer of
indianapolis in an address before the
state laundry mems association. His
subject was that of advertising, how
to more interest the people in laundry
work and the best methods of accom-
plishing this. The speaker after dis
cussing the publicity feature held,
THAT but one kind of advertising does
the laundryman any good and that is
newspaper advertising"
Mr.. Spencer sized up the thing about
right. For publicity in reaching where
most desired, the members Of the
family, there is no better way than by
using the column of the newspaper.
Possibly some interests may be reach
ed by other means, but where the
family life is concerned and interest
ing the women, the only really effec-
tive means is that of the press. In
fact, newspaper advertising is in these
days more relied upon than ever and
many business interests while using
other public means, spend their largest
amounts of money with the newspap-
ers because it pays by good deal the
most to the dollar of expenditure.
Spasmodic advertising, however,
may be likened more to throwing
hand bills on the streets, for while
nothing is lost, Of course, for some
body sees them, yet for effective pro-
cesses of reaching and informing the
public mind, the newspaper columns
are the most reliable. There is some
thing attractive, something in the ma
ture of a personal talk with the people
to be had in an advertisement,
especially one written imparting in
formation pleasantly and efficiently, to
Advertising to produce good results
should be repeated and then kept on
being repeated. Advertising for a
month or so in every year of course is
a help, but repeated half dozen times
or months during the year is better
Advertisements we'll written, properly
changed, afford excellent means of in
fluencing trade. But this should not
be occasionally, it should be main.
tanned with vigor.
No merchant ever advertised but
that it advanced his interests, but the
best results are secured when this is
kept up continually; not occasionally,
but continually. 1t is not saying one
cannot do business without advertis-
ing. He can, but the real successful
ones, the growing ones, the money
making ones, use the newspaper, and
they use them literally and with judg,
ment.

Herrick Press: We see by The
Norfolk News that Norfolk has recent
ly been invaded by crusade of school
maams. We also noticed all kinds Of
flattering remarks concerning the out
Yard appearance Of these same WELD
ers of the birchen rule. We do not
know for sure whether the writer Of
those remarks was telling the truth or
merely doing 1t to keep on the good
side of the above mentioned teachers.
At any rate he would have had plenty
of food for discussion had he hap
pened to drop into Herrick about
noon last Thursday. School teachers
have long borne the reputation for be-
ing the homliest set of creatures on
earth but the aggregation that attended
the meeting here last week were Of
decidedly opposite class. Judging
from their outward appearance they
ranged in age from twenty up and
represented the cream OF the Rose
bud so far as school teachers are con-
cerned.

TAFT MAY ENTER TARIFF FIGHT

TAFT MAY ENTER TARIFF FIGHT.
There is a growing belief in Wash
ington, reports say, that President
Taft will very soon have to enter the
tariff arena and make it clear to con-
gress and the country just what he
will stand for in tariff legislation. This
is indicated in Thursdays message.
1t seems apparent that the president
hesitates to clash with congress, be-
lieving that more is to be accom-
plished by peace than war, but that he
will have to let congress know what
he wants and what the people want, is
an increasing belief in Washington.
1t is the growing belief of senators
that when the country fully under
stands the purport of the senate bill
it will appeal direct to the white house
for relief, and that President Taft, in
answer to the appeal, will have to
take an open stand, knowing that con-
gress will not pass a tariff bill which
he would be likely to veto.
''In my judgment" said a republi.
can senator of national reputation to-
day, "the consideration of the tariff
bill in the senate is likely to be pro
tracted until the middle of June.
when the house had the bill un-
der consideration, the country made
known its objections by an appeal to

Leading lumbermen of the United
States think this government should
initiate the laws in Europe and not

county treasurer to secure the public
funds. Under section 1871 of Cob
beys statutes, the section pertaining
to bonds for county funds, only surety
bonds may be used as security. But
the man who drew the bill looked up
the index, saw the words deposit of
county funds" and thought that that
section was the one he wanted to
knock out. He therefore knocked.
But this is not the section affecting

county funds remains as it was be-
