Circulation Double That Of Any
Other South Mississippi Paper
FAKE ADVERTISING.

Business men are getting wise to
Stake advertising schemes. And
they are also getting tired of them.
More and more is the business world
coming to recognize the newspaper as
the only profitable and wholly salts
factory advertising medium. There
are a hundred reasons why this is the
case and not one advantage to be
enumerated for any other character
of advertising
The world is full of alleged soft
snaps In advertising schemes. It is a
program, or catalogue or a cook
book, or a church directory. Generally
to be perfectly plain it is hold up
for the merchant who buys this kind
Of space. He often recognizes it as
such, but the individual or the society
that asks for the advertisement gently
calls attention to tn space that his
competitor has purchased and to the
additional fact that those interested
IN the scheme have been his best Gus
toners. He may know that he is buy
ing gold brick" but he lacks the
moral courage to refuse.
The most successful way in which
merchants can prevent hold-ups of
this character is by concerted action.
It is therefore interesting to know
that the Business Mems Association
OF Canton, Ohio has announced in the
future it will discourage advertising
other than the newspapers. Com
mentng on this action the Courier
Journal very correctly observes:
1T is a part of the newspapers

value OF newspaper advertising has
been demonstrated. The merchant

HE GOT HIS MONEY eAcK-DeE

HE GOT HIS MONEY BAcK-Dep-
uty Sheriff Wayne Davis returned yes
terday morning from Bowie, where he
had taken a ella county prisoner by
the name of Couch who had been in
Jail here for some weeks for safe keep
ing. Couch was wanted before the
grand jury at Globe yesterday on the
charge of holding up and robbing a
black jack game. Couch had been
playing and had lost all of his money
He went away, returning later and held
up the game at the point of a revolver
If he had contented himself with taking
only so much as he had lost, probably
no jury would have been found to con-
vice him, for the game itself was an
outlaw. But he made the mistake of
taking everything else that was in
sight. He was regarded after his cap
ture as a desperate sort of prisoner.
and he was brought here because the
Maricopa county Jail is more secure.

since Sunday when. Rob-

bination consisting of himself and
Valerde that robbed the grain field of
Martin Gold some time ago A great
many complaints have come in since
of stolen grain, but so far Velarde
and Roberts have not been connect
ed With those thefts. They have
probably not enjoyed a monopoly of
grain stealing in this valley. In the
early reports of the case it was stat
ed that the grain had been sold to
Trinidad Arviso, who runs a store
in the southern part of town. That
is an error. The grain was sold at
EspinOsa's store. Espinosa says that
he never saw Velarde in any of these
transactions; that he always dealt
with Roberts, who now begins to
believe that there is a racial combi-
nation against him. One night while
this carnival of thievery was going
on, ]. w. Canning was going home on
the Tempe road one night and when
he reached Velarde's place he saw a

yesterday issued a reward of $3.50 for
the arrest and conviction of the muir

a few days ago. 1t appears that the
murder was a coolly planned assassi-
nation of most apprehensible char
acter. According to stories a woman
who is a friend of the Hodges family,
applied to Mr.. Hodges for protection
from the advances of a Mexican, Mar
quez, the man supposed to be the muir
derer. The conversation took place in
the presence of the latter, who was
not supposed to understand English.
Mr.. Hodges replied that he would in
quire into the facts as soon as he re-
turned from the mountain trip he was
then necessarily setting out upon. Pre-
sumably the Mexican understood the
reply and saw to it that he did not re-
turn alive.
