His Brief Visit Reveals Diff,

Editor Herald
This country is supposed to be and
is partially Americanized, but some
of the first things observed by a new
ly arrived American are apt to crate
on his democratic nerves, such as,
God Save the King" plastered all
over the city hall, stop at the Queen
Hotel" eat the Grown Restaurant" "
drop in at the King George Pool
Room" smoke "Old Chum," tobacco,
etc. Yet it seems like home to dig
up two American dollars for a cot in
the hall. Being exposition week the
city was over crowded last week.
To illustrate one difference of SEN
timent between the people of Calgary
and of Aberdeen. Upon my arrival
about dark, 10:45, last Sunday, week
ago, good sized crowd was in and
around the depot.

was surprisd Monday morning to see
in The Morning Albertan thrilling
account of "A Royal Mob of Five
Thousand that had disgraced both the
Sabbath and Calgary" And what was
the trouble? Two long haired street
preachers We're holding down a soap
box and when they expressed their
opinion that there was no heaven and
no He'll, but that we would continue
to live forever on this earth, trouble
began. They would not stand to be
robbed of their HELL" it seems, for
the Calgarians are well pleased with
their own particular part of this
earth. Now, in Aberdeen we con-
slider it Heaven" enough to be per-
mitted to live forever on this earth.
And We can raise a little of
the other to relieve the monotony
The Calgary paper states that two
of the mob leaders were thrown in
prison, and at present the two preach
ers are "domiciled in a tent near the
city crematory" The whole thing be-
ing taken very seriously.
Next week will make few state.
ments about the Alberta system of as.
sessment and taxation. The Alber-
tans may be back a few decades in
religion but they are up to date when
it comes to government and taxation.

of Aberdeen may we'll take a few
hints from their northern neighbors
along these lines.

still other cities--256 cities In
all. The expenditure finally
amounted to about $4,000.
Just think Of that amount Of
space being used in newspapers
in 256 cities for that amount Of
money! 1t confirms what have
often said - that NEWSPA-
PERS CAN GIVE IMMEDI-
ATE PROMINENCE in a most
impressive way to any businesss
at a very reasonable expendi-
ture.
The work of preparing the
copy and illustrations was her
cuiean task, but it was accomp-
lished in time and was admir-
ably done. I,
1t involved printing the pic
lures of 1873 Hundred Pointers"
in papers that carried two pages
and one page, and in the smaller
communities the picture Of the.
salesman in that community.
This necessitated the adjust
ment of the copy to fit all OF the
communities-that is, putting
in the name of the salesman or
statesmen, with address and tele-
phone number.
The statesmen did not know
anything about the advertising
until it appeared. They were
delighted with it. It was IN
SEPARATION to them.
This was ADVERTISING
NEWS and created sensation.
1t was work well done-and
greatly appreciated by the Ma
tional Cash Register Co., which
realizes now more than ever that

Harry Lesan, who is always
awake, heard Of the special
train, so he hiked himself to
DAYTON in short order with a
thing about the special train and
suggestion.
He told the officers of the
company that it would be a good
idea to let the public know some
it's purpose, and he forthwith
submitted a plan to advertise in
the towns through which the
special train would run.
The plan involved a small
expenditure of money, perhaps
5000 to $4,000, but it was such
a good plan, so INTELLIGENT,
so TIMELY that the officers
adopted it quickly and gave an
order to use two full pages in
