Parents, in Excitement, Lose valuable
Time Calling Doctor.

BeIoit, Kan, Sept. 13.-Lana Leone,
the 1S-months-old daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. F. S. Pearson, who live
southeast of Beloit, was drowned in an
open water tank. The mother of the
child had gone to the corral to milk a
COW and had left the child in the yard
at the house. In the yard was a wind
mill and water tank and when the
mother returned she found the body
of her child in the water.
The father of the child was work
ing in a field a quarter of a mile away.
Mrs Pearson, instead of trying to re-
vive the baby, took it's body in her
arms and ran to the field where her
husband was working. The father and
mother were so much excited that they
did not try to revive the child, but re-
turned to the house and telephoned
for a physician in Beloit. The doctor
came too late.

The thing to do before start
ing an advertising campaign is
to STUDY the situation from all
viewpoints.
SERIOUS CONSIDERATION
must be given to the preparation
of copy, then the question of
media taken up, the class of
people they reach, etc., THOR
,OUGHLY INVESTIGATED; the
amount of money to be expended
decided upon and THE WAY IN
WHICH IT IS TO BE EXPEND-
ED, carefully planned.
THEN GO AHEAD ON THIS
PLAN AND FOLLOW 1T OUT
WHETHER RESULTS COME
IMMEDIATELY OR NOT.
A business is not builded in a
day, or week, or a month, and
1T TAKES TIME, as well as con-
slant and unremitting effort
BEFORE THE REAL EFFORT

Advertising is a BUSINESS
PROPOSITION, pure and sim

it with faith, and is willing to

conservative space, and using it
REGULARLY and PERSIST
EMILY, then there will be no
question about the success of
the campaign.
THERE IS A SUCCESS that
