OBJECTIONABLE ADVERTISING.
How the Billboard Nuisance May Be
Controlled.

The movement for the adjustment
of the billboards IS more widespread
and determined than ever before Re
ports reach us from all civilized coun-
tries that everywhere the warfare is
on, while from various states in our
own land come gratifying reports of
effective war upon this great evil, says
the Los Angeles Times. Public scnti-
ment has Of late years been wonder
fully aroused on this important mat
ter until now 1t IS proving formula
bic barrier to those who seek to desc
crate our landscapcs by advertising
questionable merchandise in an OBJ
jeCtiouable manner. There are many
ways In which the individual may
combat this method of publicity.
If Il good customer makes it known
to a merchant that one of his signs
offcuds himself and nclghbors there is
doubt Of further argument being need
ed. If many come with like com
plants it will not be long before the
DillbOardS will have at least one ad-
Vcrtiscr less. Advertising depends for
IL" ''''uI "l''i 10 l'O"Cl ~ VIII 'hc
favor Of the masses. If 1t be found
that 1t has a contrary effect it will
soon be discontinued Thus Is 1t posi-
bic for the people without legal proc
cess TO successfully control the use of
the billboarls by local business houses.
Especially is such suppression an easy
matter In Villages and towns. In like
manner also may any people prevent
local merchants from scattering post
ers over town to be later blown about
the streets y little study of the ques-
ton viii show how concerted effort by
few may cffectually control all OBJ
jectionable local advertising.

N ationaI Parks.

While the American Civic federation
Is laborlng to save Niagara falls and
other beauties Of nature, 1t is well to
call attention to the fact that the Yo-
semitic and the big tree groves are not
the only spots in California that need
state or federal protection. Down In
the canyons bordering the Colorado
desert we have Il number Of fine groves
Of washingtonia, our native fan palm,
found nowhere else on the globe, and
these should be made special reserva-
tions for park purposes Should a

Business will prosper

Your business depends
On others prosperity.

Results are disappointing.

Towns thrive and flourish
Only when they deserve tc-
When their own people
Neglect no opportunities.

NOT AN EXPERIMENT
Over a Million of Coles Patented Stoves in
Use in America Today.

Readers of this paper should not get
the idea that Coles Hot Blast is in any
sense an experiment. 1t has been proved
supreme over all heating stoves by years
of use by hundreds of thousands of
customers. Their annual output Of the
famous Coles Hot Blast from Chicago,
the Original, is 10000 stoves. They are
in use in every state of the Union in
the homes of capitalists and wage earn
ers, and the most enthusiastic testimoni-
ais are received at the factory Of the
Cole Manufacturing Co. in Chicago
every day.
The reason the Coles Hot Blast is
three times over the biggest selling soft
coal heater is because the patented fea-
lures that make it remarkable are con-
trolled by the Cole Manufacturing Co.,
and, therefore, could not be used on any
other stove.
So Coles Hot Blast is backed by its
astounding guarantee only after the
manufacturers have proved in thousands
Of cases absolutely everything they guar
antee.
We have letter from the President
of the Cole Manufacturing Co. author
izing us to guarantee every purchaser
of Coles Hot Blast in this way:
Coles Hot Blast is guaranteed to re-
duce the fuel bill third over any lower
draft stove Of the same size; guaranteed
to hold fire from Saturday night until
Monday morning; guaranteed to have a
smoke proof feed door; guaranteed to
remain air tight as long as used; guar
anteed to give uniform heat day and
night with soft coal, hard coal or Ignite /;
guaranteed to use less hard coal for
heating a given space than any base
burner with same size fire pot, and guar
anteed to heat the rooms from one to
three hours in the morning with the fuel
put in the day before (Which does away
with kindling or rebuilding the fire each
mo1ning).
This is making a great heater business
for us, and should at least induce every
reader Of this paper to see them before
huving their heater this winter.

Special own NJ Getting

Notice is hereby given to the
electors of the Town of River Falls,
in the county of Pierce, state of Wis
consin, that special meeting will
be held at the Opera Hall in the city
of River Falls on the 18th day of
October, 1909, at 2 O'Clock in the
afternoon, for the purpose of rails
ing money to pay the current ex-
penses of the town, which were ex.
traordinarily high this year, partic-
ularly on account of the town being
compelled to erect a new bridge
over the Rocky Branch and to re-
pair highway damages caused by
floods. There is not ow on hand
enough money to meet the necessary
expenses of the town.
And, that on examin alton of the
bridge near the residence of Mrs. G.
M. Bredahl, it was found to be OF
sufficient strength to last at least
another year, and It would seem
best for the interest of the town to
cancel the appropriation for new
bridge and vote like sum to defray
the current expenses of the town for
the present year. This question is
for the voters to decide at this meet
ing, a request for such meeting hav-
ing been duly made to me in writing
by twelve qualified voters of said
town, specifying as aforesaid the
objects for which such meeting is to
be held.
Dated the 9th day of Sept, 1909,

to even when a boy. If there seems to
be a good chance to elect to the Senate
from Nebraska some other Democrat,
it will please me better than to be a
candidate myself.
II have said repeatedly that | hope |

under any circumstances accept the nom

to look into the future and decide on
conditions in advance. l think the Dem

at any time since 1892, and that it has
an excellent chance to control Congress
in 1910.'

Enters Home on Kinnickinnic Avenue at
Early Hour and Frightens Women
with Ugly Gun.
FAILS TO FIND HIDDEN MONEY.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, March 10
To awake in the middle of the night
and feel the cold muzzle of a big revol-
yer pressed against her forehead while
burglar threatened to blow off her head
If she made any outcry was the expert
ence of Mrs. George II. Hoffman, who,
with Mrs. n. B. Grafton, sleep in adjoin-
ing rooms at 1927 Kinnickinnic avenue.
1t was about 100 o'clock this morning
when a hoarse, suppressed whisper
startled Mrs. Hoffman as she lay in bed.
She opened her eyes to see in the dim
light a slim, smooth-faced man of % or
30 years hold a revolver to her head.
Threatens to Kill.
Before she could scream the robber
almost Kissed in her ear:
IF you make the least noise I'll shoot
you dead"
Then the man behind the gun demand
ed to know where her money was kept.
Mrs. Hoffman replied that she had none
in the house. but the burglar cursed her,
declaring that she was lying and threat
ening to find it if he had to shoot up the
place.
Still keeping the woman covered with
lis revolver, the intruder ransacked the
apartment but without results. Then
Mrs. Grafton in the next room was &C.
corded the same treatment, but as Mrs.
Hoffman's room, the burglar could find
40 booty and after again threatening the
ives of his captives, he skunk out of
he house and into the darkness.
Police Are Notified.
Responding to the alarm given by the
certified women, policemen found that
he miscreant had gained entrance
through the back door, which Mrs. HoH-
man had neglected to lock before retiring.
From her description the burglar was
lbout feet inches in height and wore
dark soft hat and black overcoat. He
wore no mask.

collect SIT rent from a tenant in his
house which he was buying from n
West Allis real estate company. He had
intended to make a payment on the house
but the searchers have failed to discover
that he ever went there with the money.
He was seen with a suspicious looking
character and the theory is now held
that Wallschlager is insane and is wan
dering about the country west of the
city There is also the possibility that
he may be dead as the result OF eX-
posture.
No Family Troubles.
His family relations were of salts
factory character, it is said, and there
is not the slightest hint that the man de
stroyed himself willfully. The police
department is still at work, several de
tectives having been detailed to the case
on the theory that the man is not far
from the city, wandering about in the
fields and country roads, afraid to come
home to face his family without the mon
ey which was to have been used to make
a payment on his little piece Of property.
