ADVERTISING TALKS
WRITTEN BY
WILLIAM c. FREEMAN

The play of the golf champion
of the British Empire, and now
the golf champion of the United
States, points a good advertising
moral.
Mr.. Hilton PLANNED for the
play for the American cham
pionship many weeks in ad-
vance. He PRACTICED hitting
a golf ball with each club until
he could figure how hard he had
to hit to make it travel the dis
tance he wanted it to go. His
play indicated how METHOD
ICAL and ACCURATE he is.
HE WON-but not until he had
fought a very hard fight-just
as an advertiser must do to win.

william r. Curtis Interviewed Dcs-

Chicago, oct. 6-One of the earliest
scoops" of William Z. Curtis. the
journalist who died last night in Phil
adelphia. was that OF getting an inter
view with the James boys while they
were in the midst of their war with the
authorities.
While det ectives were endeavOring to
locate the desperadoes, Curtis. then a
reporter for Chicago paper. vent ont
to Missouri, found their hiding place
and calmly aunoi need he had come for
a interview with the bandits.
We know what you're here for.
You're a spy" was the reply of Jesse
James. What's m re, you won't get
away from here"
But the aggressive reporter was not
to have his cherished sco~- thus spoil
ed until too old TO be of use to his
paper. He refused to be a prisoner.
He talked to the James boys about his
trip out there to see them 50 that he
might put the truth about them before
the public. and finally convinced them
he was there for the purpose he sta
ted.
Gets His Scoop.
wen, I'm going to give you any
thing you want just to satisfy you,
Jesse James finally agreed.
And he did. He gave Curtis the most
with him. Having accomplished his
purpose, the reporter returned to the
nearest telegraph station and wired
his scoop to his paper.
But he kept faith with the men who
had taken him at his word. He did
rendezvous of the desperadoes. and he
did not tell the detectives. who were
searching for them, the location of
their hiding place.
