People Cannot re Fooled by
Advertisers.
Importance of Making the Ad-
vertisement Attractive.

There was a large attendance this
noon at the meeting of the Topeka
Ad club. C. S. Patteson of New York
city, who was founder and conductor
for many years of the periodical
known as "NewspaDerdom" and has
had wide experience in newspaper
and other advertising, was the
speaker of the occasion Mr.. Pat
teson's address was appreciated by
the members of the club and en-
bodied many extremely practical
Ideas in connection with local adver-
Using.
Mr.. Patteson said in part: 81 pre-
sumo I'll have to address you as fell
low space buyers and sellers. 1t is
true that I have opportunities to
study local advertising as 1 have IN
Vest1gated advertising conditions in
40 different cities. You have to deal
with a number of mediums in adj
Vertls1ng which we call local
mediums. First is the billboard Next
Is street car advertising. In that
same category is the advertising that
goes through the mail. and then there
is newspaper advertising.
Advantages of Newspaper Advertising
Now I have found a good many
cities where many dealers are en-
tirely wrongfully dropping out from
the newspapers. The papers are all
over the country increasing their cir
culation. There is one peculiar fea-
ture about the newspaper. The rates
are not increasing in proportion to
the rate of growth and influence of
the paper.
ct am a newspaper man born and
bred. Nobody pays for the privilege OF
reading a circular or street car ad-
vertiSement, but people do pay for the
newspaper. The faith in the news OF
the papers is bound to extend to a
certain extent to the advertising col
umnS.
There has never been any great ma
tIonal advertising scheme which was
success that was a fake. Advertising
is too serious a matter to try to fool
the people We can do some stunts and
play some funny tricks, although that
isn't very good advertising as 1t isn't
serious enough.

the fault, aside from their attention
value, of containing too many words
People will not buy newspapers in or

is, in the large cities where the ladies

FINDS HUSBAND HANGING
Piper Farmer Ends His Life in Fit of
Dependency.

Leavenworth, Kan. Oct. 5.-The body
Of August Baker. rs years of age. was
found by his wife suspended by rope
to a rafter in a barn. Baker was a
retired farmer who lived at Piper.
Baker left his home without init
mating his suicidal intent. Half an
hour later his wife found his corpse,
still warm, dangling from a rope which
was tied to one of the timbers in the
roof of the barn. An overturned box
near his feet showed that he had
placed the moose about his neck and
stood ON the box while he made the
other end of the rope fast to the raf-
ter. Then he kicked his support away.
His neck was broken.
For months Baker had been in Ill
health and his illness preyed upon his
mind until he became respondent HIS
norbidness' gave rise to frequent ex-
pressions of disbursement, but never
did he drop any inference of his in
tention of ending Ms life.

Thus we managed to keep in game
