ADVERTISING TALKS.
WRITTEN BY
WILLIAM G. FREEMAN.

THE MOST IMPORTANT
ADJUNCT to advertising is the
SERVICE accorded to the GUS
toner after the advertising
brings him to a store. When
good advertising is backed up
by GOOD SERVICE, the custo-
mer not only comes back to the
store, but he tells his friends
about it-he is a LIVING -AD-
VERTISEMENT for the store.
The RODGERS-PEET co. Of
New York are PERSISTENT
newspaper advertisers. They
have attained a great success,
and the following letter, which /
received from Mr.. Kahlert, of
the Chicago Post, explains one
of the reasons for this success: !:

MCNAMARA JURY TO
BE FILLED THIS WEEK

Los ANGELES, Cal, Nov. 2.--In
the hope OF qualifying Talesman Lor-
EMO Romanes, challenged by the
state because y Is alleged he Is In
sane, the defense IN the Mcnamara
case today produced witnesses who de-
clared the juror not only perfectly
sane, but one OF the shrewdest real
estate dealers In the city.
The defense hoped to Impress
Judge Bordwell and get him to set
aside the states challenge. thus com
pelling District Attorney Fredricks TO
waste a peremptory challenge, The,
defense argued that Romanes' belief
that the fund appropriated by the
state for use In investigating the
Times explosion was corruption
fund and his prejudice against Will
lam Mulholland, one OF the states
expert witnesses, In no way disuuali-
fled him, as long as he swore posi-
lively that he entertained no opinion
regarding the destruction of the
Times.
There are still three seats untitled
in the jury box, and II Is considered
certain that Judge Bordwell will final
ly excuse Romanes.
Tho proceedings are dragging al0nE
slowly. but Is certain the U6k Will
be filed this week. when the exer-
cising OF peremptory challenges will
be begun.
The state is now certain IL will get
possession of the Indianapolis eri-
dence before the trial actually be-
gins. District Attorney Fredricks
considers much of IL absolutely neces-
sary to the success OF his case, espe-
cially the bankbooks and cancelled
checks. They show what Fredricls
alleges is an absolute connection be-
tween the McNamRra brothers and
MeManigal, and all the explosions.

LOYAL LEGION SNUBS
GEN. SICKLES, WAR HERO

New York. Nov. 2.--Gen Daniel f..
Sickles hero OF the peach orchard
at the battle OF Gettysburg, on which
memorable field he lost a leg, has
been blackballed by the New York
commandery OF the Loyal Legion.
This became Known today when
friends OF the leader OF the Third
Army corps expressed indignation that
the battle-scarred veteran should have
been denied admittance TO the organ
ization in. which they say are many
men who played a less heroic part in
the civil war.
II is believed Gen. Sickles was
biackballed because OF antagonism
arising from emitting tho names OF
certain officers from monuments erect
ed on civil war battlefields by the
New York state commission for that
purpose, OF which he is the head.

S43 AN OUNCE
 FOR PLATINUM
Price Now Is the Highest Ever-F|ar COstlier
 Than Gold

New York, March 11-Platinum, which is far more costly than gold, has been advancing rapidly in price in the last few weeks. Yesterday it was quoted in Maiden Lane at S43 an ounce for hard platinum and $41 an ounce for the soft metal These are the highest prices ever reached and indi- cate an advance of about $10 an ounce in the last six months.
 The present upward movement in platinum was nearly equaled several years ago. In 1905 pure platinum was selling at $1850 with only a 1anguid demand Early in 1906 the sales began to increase and. prices steadily ad- vanced until in December of that year pure platinum was selling at $3S an ounce and hard platinum touched $40. That was the highest level it reached. A decline started in February of 1907 and continued until August of 1908, when the price had again declined to less than S20 an ounce. The present upward movement started soon after ward, but was not brisk until within the past six months.
 The production of platinum in this country is small, for all that is obtain ed comes as a by-product in working g the gold placers of California and Ore gOn.
 The chief source of supply is the Ura1 Mountains in Russia, but some is also obtained from Colon bia, South America, and from Canada.

INSURANCE COMPANIES

Lively Opposition Developes Over Bill Calling for an
 Investigation.

Hartford, March 1.-The first skir- mish of what promises to be a lively battle was held at the insurance com mittee's hearing Thursday afternoon when the advisa bility of raising a committee to investigate insurance companies and rates was entered in to. Ex-Representative H. $. Dor mitzer of Woodbury thought exist ing conditions called for an expert commission to see if combinations ex- ist in restraint of trade.
 Senate Chairman Fenn told MT. Dormitzer that it seemed that the proper place would be in the courts if combinations of that nature exist ed. MT. Dormitzer replied that it would be expensive for a single indi- vidual to push the matter through, while the state through it's commis- sion could get at the truth.
 President NIL. HeWes of the Stand ard Fire Insurance Company objected strenuously to the appointment of any such commission, contending that no necessity existed. The committee adjourned the hearing to March P.

 A bill has been introduced in the Wisconsin Legislature requiring the State to build a public macadamized highway from the Illinois border to Ashland, Wis, on Lake Superior, the northern limits of Wisconsin. Fifty miles of this road shall be built each year, according to the bill, beginning with 1911, the work to begin in the middle of the route and to proceed in each direction at the rate of tWen- ty-five miles each year. The cost IS to be paid by the State, and the work shall be supervised by a commission of experts, who shall draw no salary, but receive actual expenses.

 On many cars where the cylinder oil is simply poured into the crank case and fed by splash. the level set in the crank case by the petcocks is so high that the cylinders automatically get too much oil.

When the Philippine Islands were thrown open to American life the church immediately accepted the inn piled challenge and different denom- ination sent a number of missionaries to work among the natives. but the thousands of American civilians and officials were left to shift for them selves. At the urgent request of the Mission Board Dr. Rossiter left a large church in America to jake up the work.
