ADVERTISING AS
WoMAN's OCCUPATION
BY ETHEL p. CRIPPEN

I T is a fact conceded even by men
themselves that "womans witt
n is sometimes more than a match
for a mans. A certain adeptness in
the amenities of social life seems to be
a womans natural heritage, having
descended to her through countless
generations of feminine ancestors who
have spent their best years acquiring
the social graces, the art of brilliant
repartee, graceful department, artistic
gowning.
in the comparatively new sphere of
a business career there would seem to
be certain avocations which are pre-
eminently adapted to the distinctively
feminine nature and capacity. Though
some women are endowed with an al
most masculine faculty for meeting
and successfully combating the obsta-
cles encountered in the strenuous ac-
tivities of any business, yet with the
great majority of women their most
important asset in the work-a-day
world where they must compete with
a mans trained brain lies in those
very gifts and talents wherein they
differ most from the men with whom
they compete.
Where in the business world could
womans quick perception, her appre-
citation of the beautiful, her intuitive
recognition of the practical, ind a
more promising field for demonstration
than as an lad writer?" Her ready
wit adjusts itself involuntarily to the
exigencies of every case. Is it rare
painting that is for sale? She con-
jures up vision of a beautiful mansion
-subdued lights-costly furnishings!
The owner of such a home would be
charmed with this painting, therefore
it is presented In a manner to appeal
to a possible purchaser of this class.
Or it is, perhaps, a patent clothes
pin to be advertised. Immediately she
pictures a CHEEKY housewife bustling
about her tiny kitchen. hurrying to get

the snowy clothes out on the line be-
fore preparing the MONDAY lunch.
These pins will save her time ana
money. She should buy them! Could
a man transport himself with such
ease from scene to scene and thus
grasp the point which will make the
strongest appeal? DO not his own en-
vironments limit his sense of necessi-
ties beyond his ken? OF course, he can
and does realize these things to a GER
tain extent, but why shouldn't
woman do as well or better?
Then, think for a moment how much
of the money spent for clothing, food
and furnishings is expended by women.
Is ii not logical to presume that an
appeal from a woman to woman
should be effective?
This is supposing the article to be
sold purely on its own merits of at
Effectiveness and desirability. "Adver-
tising'' to many people is synonymous
with a low price consideration. Man
is credited with having more exalted
idea of the value of a dollar than
woman, yet after all are not women
the real economizers Of this world?
"Spendthrifts' there are, but the great
majority of women are more careful
savers and clever spenders of money
than their husbands, and show
greater aptness in the little economies
that mean the difference between
riches and poverty.
To descend to the personal, in MAX
ing a practical test of advertising as
a profession a woman could not easily
imagine an opportunity more inviting
than that offered by a first-class spe-
cialty shop for women, such as the
New York Store of this city. the
mere fact that the new style ideas are
presented in their beautiful show Win

Band Robbers Defeated

Milbank, Nov. 3.-Yeggmen were
defeated in their plans to rob the
State Bank at Corona, nine miles
north of Milbank, at l o'clock We'd
nesday morning, by a dose of for
maldehyde. Cashier George Clark
of the bank said if some fluid could
be used against yeggmen, a great
battle toward the safe keeping of
money would be won. Accordingly
he purchased some formaldehyde,
placing a quart bottle between
the doors of the vault and another
in the small box safe. Those he
called his "Yegg Doctors. The
yeggmen blew the door in the vault
with a second charge, but the bottle
of formadehyde was smashed all to
pieces and its fumes repuled them
from taking the little safe which
contained about a thousand dollars.
The yeggmen broke into the depot,
and three business houses, and made
their escape to Milbank ON a hand
car.
The windows and fixtures of the
bank are badly wrecked.

Law In the States.

Some of the states have establish
ed highway departments, with a
commission, a commissioner or state
highway engineer in charge, while
others have placed highway matters
in charge of some existing state de-
partment. or educational institution
Some furnish cash for road con-
struction and construct state roads;
some appropriate cash which is
given counties or townships to assist
in the construction of county or
township highways, and some both.
Others, which do not appreciate
cash aid, supply other assistance.
Some of these provide engineering
services which the local authorities
may use in the SURVEYS, plans and
specifications, for road and bridge
construction. Others empower the
counties and townships to use con-
victs from the penitentiaries. as
labor in the construction of roads.
Other supply such engineering and
labor, so that a study of the laws of
each individual state is necessary to
determine its correct status in road
matters.
In Lieu of State Aid
In the states which do not give aid
in any form, there are also a variety
of methods in road Management. In
some of these states measures are
now pending, which have for their
purpose the adoption of some
method by which the state, county
or township may join in the extern
sion of road construction.
How States Stand
The states contributing cash to-
wards the good roads work are all
the New England states. New York,

The known gains by the democrats
are one in Connecticut, one in Ken

one in North Carolina, or a total of
nine.
This is offset, however, by a gain
by the republicans of one Pennsyl-

Returns indicate that the demo-
Gratis will probably gain three or four

ARE INDICTED
Conspiracy to Drive Homestead
ers From Claims

Omaha, Neb., Nov. lndlct-
ments returned by the federal grand
jury on Wednesday. against nine
ranchmen of western Nebraska were
made public today, and they icharge
a conspiracy to drive from their
claims at the points of their guns
homesteaders who took sections of
semi-arid land under the Kinkaid
homestead law by the defendants.
Those indicted are: Perry S. Yeast,
county attorney Of Hyannis, Neb.,
his son, Frank w. Yeast, Leslie Z,
B~allinger, M. G. Hubbel, Emil An
derson of Wilmot, Z. Emerson,
Harry Sutton, Boone B. Hawthorne
and DR.. Harry H. Huff, prominent
physician of Sutton county
The indictment charges that the
defendants went so far as to have
G. }. Davisher, one of the victims
i~ncarcerated in an insane asylum,
his home was destroyed, the machin-
cry broken up. and the harness cut
to pieces. He was later released
from the asylum on a writ of habeas
corpus. MANY thousand acres Of
grazing land are involved. =
When the Kinkaid homestead law
passed, many persons went to
western Nebraska counties and look
ed up the quarter section. The land
is in the Sand Hills country. but
contains many fertile valleys. Sew
eral big ranchers. among them,
Yeast and his associates, have here
tofore depended on thi" valley land
for their hay for winter feeding,
and the settling of homesteaders
was resented. The indictment
charges that a band of about thirty
persons, headed by Yeast, went to
the homes Of many of these home
sUeaders, among them Cashier j..
George Carpenter. Coda
ID. Graves. George Babcock, Henry
S. Coulson and others. and by
intimidation and the threats of TAX
ing their lives and those of their
families forced them to leave their
claims. The specific case of Davish-
is. mentioned in detail. 1t is
charged that Yeast and other de-
PENDANTS, accompanied by a band of
cowboys, visited Davisher's home
and after threatening himself and
family with death if they did not
leave the country, destroyed his
home, broke up his machinery, cut
his harness to pieces and in other
ways mistreated him.
Later, according to the indict-
ment, Yeast conspired with members
of the comfy insanity board and
secured Davisher's incarceration
in the asylum. DaviSher's case was
brought to the attention Of the
superintendent of the institution
who conducted an examination inCo
the case. He at once decided that
Davlsher was not insane, and the
latter was released by habeas
proceedings. According
to an official of the interior de-
partment, the present Indictment
covers one of the most remarkable
attempts at land grabbing which re-
have been brought to the at
tention Of the department. A letter
written by one of the victims to
President Taft is said to have caused
the investigation which resulted in
the indictments being returned.
