HOW RICE WAS TAKEN IN.

NJ c. Rice, the local merchant,
fiding with friends. He arrived at this
conclusion after he had been betray-
ed by c. w. Thacher, the Rock Island
road freight agent. 1t all came about
over a surprise party. The surprise
was on Mr.. Rice, it might be stated
One afternoon late Mr. Rice receiv-
ed a telephone call at his store from
Mr. Thacher The latter said he was
leaving that night for Chicago and be-
fore his departure he wanted to see
Mr.. Rice about a matter of business
Would he be kind enough to wait at
the store for him until $50? Mr.
Rice, always accommodating, agreed
When $50 arrived there was no sight
Of Mr.. Thacher Another half hour
passed. The merchant was getting
warm under the collar. He called the
Thatcher home, but il was explained
the head of the house was absent
Finally Mr.. Rice started for his
home, which was on Nineteenth street
at that time All the way he hummed
about Thacher and what he expected
to do no him the next time he saw
him. The Rice home was In darkness
when Mr.. Rice arrived. His wife
greeted him at the door, and just as
he was about to tell her of the deal
that had been served him and what
he thought of Thatcher the lights were
turned on all through the house, re-
vealing a crowd of neighbors, OF whom
Thatcher was one.
II was Rice's birthday.

for the limb broke and he fell about
80 feet, striking across a hive which

ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN By
WILLIAM {. FREEMAN

THE BIGGEST ASSET
anw newspaper can have is
the CONFIDENCE OF ITS
READERS, both as TO the
news and advertising printed
in its columns.
Advertising in a newspaper
that has the confidence OF its
readers has an added value, be
cause the people believe in it,
and they therefore respond TO
it more freely.
Newspapers all over the
Country realize thiS-that is
why they are beginning to eX-
ercise GREAT CARE in the
kind of advertising they place
before their readers.
THE ARIZONA @ A l.
ETTE, a live paper published
in Phoenix, Arizona, printed
recently an announcement
about an advertisement which
had appeared in its columns.
This advertisement promised
employment on railroads at a
salary of $50 per month, I'M
der the title of "The Railroad
Employing Headquarters"
The Gazette discovered that
the president of this "aSsocia-
ton" had been arrested by the
government for fraudulent use
of the mails.
They IMMEDIATELY DIS
CONTINUED THE ADVER-
TISEMENT, and advised if
any of their readers were in
correspondence with the asSo-
citation that they withhold any
fee which might me demanded
until the action said to have
been brought against the man
in charge was settled.
Further than this, they said
that IF ANY READER of the
Gazette HAD BEEN SWIM
DIED by this concern into
forwarding it an agency or
other fee, THEY WOULD
REFUND THE AMOUNT up
on being furnished with proof
of such fraudulent collection.
This paper is determined
that the value of its advertiS-
ing columns shall not be i'm.
paired by dishonest advertis-
erS. Is there any DOUBT of the
success that come to it?
1t is fine that so many news
papers in the United States
are protecting their readers bv
taking a DECIDED STAND
AGAINST FRAUDULENT
ADVERTISING.
The more it is done. the bet
ter it will he for the newSpa-

SUITS will he given 10 the
