Bic words pass for sense with
some people and sometimes may be
very successfully used when nothing
else will answer. says an English
writer. Thus when n man. in Great
alarm. ran to hi- minister to tell
him hc'vould see spot on tAe sin
and thought the world m>t hc com
ing to an end. "Oh, dani e afraid" ="
said the good minister. IFS nothing
but a phantarnararia." "is that
all?" said the frightened man. and
then he went away relieved
A very smart lawyer some time
since had the misfortune to lose Q
case for a client who had every rea-
son to expect success. The client, a
plain old farmer, was astounded by
the long bill of costs and, fastening
TO the LAWYERS Office, said, Il
thought YOU told me we should GER
tainly gain that suit?" so ! did,
answered the lawyer, "but, you see,
when l brought it up there before
the Judges they said it was quo
rum non judice." "Well, if they said
it was as bad as that" replied the
old farmer, II don't wonder we lost
it." And he paid the costs and a
big fee besides without another
murmur.

Mrs. Frink was a trusting soul
and rarely questioned the opinions
of others about matters concerning
which they we're supposed to be in
formed. One day she came home
with a new pair of shoes under her
arm. "Got them at Brides" she
explained, "and they're the best l
ever bought you"
'What is SO very good about
them?" inquired her son, for whom
the shoes were intended.
"Why, the salesman said that you
could walk farther in them than In
any Others without getting tired,
and / said that you couldn't walk
very far just now on account OF
your knee, you know, and he said
that he meant farther for the same
distance. So / bought them, and
here they are. Save the string,
please"
She did not notice the smile on
her sons face as he undid the pack
age, and he was spared the trouble
of explaining. = Youths Compan-

Coming in from East Liberty or
a train were two men who appar-
emily were old acquaintance and
who met in joyial mood. Both
men were quite gray, but each had
a luxuriant head of hair. Near
then sat a stout party with shin
ing dome that was almost destitute
Of hirsute covering.
The two friends exchanged face
tious remarks about silvered locks,
then INDUCED in some pleasantries
about the ''thinning Of the thatch,'
with casual references to doorknobs
and billiard balls, much to the
amusement Of the passengers, but
TO the evident discontinue of the
baldheadcd man.
The talk finally developed into an
argument on the cause of badness,
and after considerable jocularity
the pair turned to the pearly pated
stranger, and one said:
"My friend and i have been dis
cussing the cause of badness, but
we can't seem to agree. Would you
mind telling US what you regard "a
the real cause Of badness"
The stranger wheeled about, eyed
his questioners fercely and snorted:

The Advertising Game.
1t is Simple, but Not So Simple as
Some Imagine.

Advertising is a game 1t can be playedby any
man who has intelligence enough to conduct busi-
ness 1t is SIMPLE to. but it isnt half SO -mple as
many men imagine who think they have learned it
before they have graSped the first principles.
Advertising is not a game learned by instinct or
intuition. A man does not naturally absorb 1t when
he buys stock of goods and prepares to sell them
t) the public.
The most successful merchants have given more
attention to learning the advertising game than they
have given to the selection Of their stock Any man
can buy a stock OF goods Only man who Knows
how to advertise his stock dispose OF those goods
To say that the man who does not advertise makes
his painful way toward bankruptcy and leaves the
wide awake fellows with one less competitor is to
state self evident fact.
To ask why the man who does not advertise does
not succeed is to ask foolish question No. Al, IA.
The man in business must advertise. The busl-
ness man who knows least about the advertising
game and how to play it advertises. But he does
not ALWAYS get results, whereupon he declares that
advertising does not pay but that he must advertise
because the other fellows do. And it never occurs
to him to ask himself why advertising pays some
men and does not pay other men.
He Goes not ask that question because he DeheveS
he knows how to advertise that he play the
game. MANY a man has lost on other ventures IN
the same way They don't know how to play the
game. Richard Carle once issued book entitled
"What Know About Poker The fifty pages OF
the book were blank. What a lot Of men know
about advertising could be put in book form iii the
same way Defiance CO., Crescent.

spoke of complaints that had come in
of the failure of the inspectors to
bring about prosecutions for violations
and that in his opinion the manufac.

notified of instances in which they
are caught violating the law, but that
prosecution should follow at once. In
answer to inspectors as to the manner
in which they should proceed in the
matter of prosecutions, Director
Youngblood told them to call on the
county attorney and present the mat

victed of violating the law.
