ROBBED OF $500.
Blue Front Shoe Store Minus that
Amount.

R. H. Viola, proprietor Of the Blue
Front shoe store, is out just $48 by
having theft enter his store last
Tuesday and taking that sum from
the cash registery.
The robber, an Italian, by name
Grovanni Merchfor, came to town
Monday night from Kansas City
where he had been working in a
shoe repair shop. Yesterday he ap-
piled for work and in the evening
begged the loan of a dollar to get
him to Salina. Mr.. Viola gave him
the money, getting it out of the cash
registry which stands in the middle
OF the room. The theft must have
seen the money in the drawer. In
the night he entered the cellar by a
back window and came up through
the trap door. A railway map and
pocket containing comb fell out
Of his pocket as he stopped to enter
the window and it was found this
morning. The Italian was seen to
have these articles yesterday, as he
frequently took them and used the
comb. He had been staying at the
National hotel but paid his bill last
evening saying he was going to Den
yer.
Undersheriff Jeffcoat is busy on
the case, using the telephone and
wire in every direction and it is be-
lieved the thief will be captured.
Mr.. Viola says he never keeps
that much money in the store over
night but that he owed nearly that
amount to a prominent attorney who
was not in his office when the
amount was sent to. him in the after
noon. He will take warning from
this loss and use the bank as a de-
positary in the future.

ADVERTISING IN THE SUMMER
Lack Of Optimism on Part Of Sollcl
tors May Cause Failing OF at
This Time.

Before a recent business meeting Of
the New York Times stan, Ernest j.
Preston. manager OF the Daily News
paper club. discussed The Decline Of
Advertising in the Summer" He gave
various roasons why advertising
should be kept up during the hot sea-
son above all other times OF the year,
and said that It may not be all the
fault of the advertiser that he let's his
publicity fall off in the summer but
that some Of II may be brought about
by the lack Of optimism on the part
Of the advertising solicitor.
1T is as senseless for an adver-
User to stop his advertising-to break
the effect of repetition-to quit firing
at that great SO per cent. Of the indif.
%tcrcnt, thoughtless, obstinate public"
said Mr.. Preston, "as 1t would be for
the engineer to let his fires go out
or the chauffeur to let his power and
speed go down on approaching a hill.
The public must be told the story
OF a product without the cessation of
a month or two, for it has been proven
that it costs twice as much to get
back into the former commanding po-
sition than it would have cost to keep
the attention with some shots each
week. even If the full schedule was
not maintained.
Tell your customers to advertise
to the people that are staying at home
there's a hundred times as many re-
manning here as go away. Some per-
sons believe that the people read less
in the summer than in the winter, but
| don't believe it.
You have a hundred reasons to give
why a line should be persistently adj
vertised in the summer as any other
time. Personally you get hungry in
the summer-you read in the summe
you may take things a trife easy
but you don't let up. It's not human
nature to let up, SO bring that to the
attention of the man who should spend
some money in the display columns
and see If a good bunch of optimism
plus some good common sense
won't make them look at things in a
light that viii enable you to obtain
the name or the dotted line"

PRINCE IS COMING ON VISIT
Tour Of Young British Son Of Royalty
Recalls Tour Of King Edward of
United States.

London.-Plans are making for the
expected visit Of the young prince of
Wales to the United States, a tour
that recalls the travels OF the late
King Edward. then prince Of Wales,
to America.
Edwards swing around the Yankee
circle was a continuous march Of tri-
umphs, his democratic ways winning
plaudits and friends in every city in
which he visited.
The coming travels westward Of the
boy prince are exciting great interest
in England for the reason that al
though his father, King George V,
saw" America. he did not get so in
innate a view of the land OF the free
as did Edward.
King George was entertained in
America as the prince of Wales also.
but he had arrived only on its east
ern shores in command of the Eng
lish feet participating in a Canadian
celebration and did not go into the
interior. In fact, he did not leave
the feet. as he merely took part IN
Boston and New York receptions to
members of the feet and then sailed
away.

ESSENTIAL TO SUCCESS
Can Never Build Lasting
Results Unless Product is
Worthy.

Points in advertising are thus
summed up by the Chicago CONNER
cial Journal: First, the advertise
ment must attract the eye; second,
present convincing argument; third,
reach buyers of product offered;
fourth, be read at the right time;
fifth, be continuous for a long period
immediate results being rare" One
point omitted is that merit must be
the basis TO secure lasting success.
Inferior articles may be pushed to a
large scale, but quickly become dis
credited when buyers are d~isappoint-
ed. Many advertisers overlook all
these factors. They fail to arrest the
attention and so to prove the need
of what they have for sale, and they
expect one charge or an occasional
careless shot will bring down the
game. Some stop advertising when
their business Is dull, though energet-
&c men are apt to feel that Is the time
to make greater effort. Periods of de-
preston also call for closer
in production and those who look
ahead are open to arguments on the
advantages of a change of machinery
and material. They have time then
to think about it. In printing, the
dull season for some houses is the
busy seaso for others. 1t is rarely
that any Of them close entirely for a
single day, except Sunday. The adj
vertiser who omits any issue OF the
right medium takes chances Of miss
Ing sales he would otherwise have
made,
