LOST FAITH IN WHITE MAN
Eskimo Tested Efficacy Of Telephone
Scheme, and Realized He Had
Been Deceived.

An interesting story is told regard
ing the efforts Of an Eskimo to con-
struct a telephone line. The Eskimo
came into possession Of a piece Of wire
of considerable length and never hAv-
ing seen wire before he asked Profes-
sor Mcmillan Of the Peary north pole
expedition what it was and what 1t
was used for. He was told that the white
man strung 1t on poles stuck In the
ground and q voice talking to an In
strument at one end could be heard at
the other end. After some search the
next morning the Eskimo was found
to be engaged in telephone construo-
tion work of his own. He stuck some
sticks in the ground and hung his
wire on them. He held one end Of
the wire to his mouth and talked to
1t at the top of his voice. Then he
ran as fast as he could to the other
end and held the wire to his ear with
the expectation of hearing his own
words repeated.
When he failed to hear any sounds
the expression on his face revealed
his opinion Of his white friend.

Business Basis for Advertising.

Is advertising done on persona
favor basis? Do advertisers give con
tracts to the solicitors whom they
happen to like?
Is there not a business basis for ad
vertising? And if SO, what Is that
basis? Certainly it can be no other
than paid subscriptions,
Is rate cutting the proper basis!
Do you believe in cutting rates? DC
you do it in your own business? II
a journal cuts rates for you what
guarantee have you that 1t does not
cut rates still more for the next
man? When an advertiser knows
that he is being treated Just like his

WHY NEWSPAPER
ADVERTISING PAYS
BY c. o. Smith.

The newspaper Is an effective me-
dium because the people want the
newspapers. II one wants something
and is willing to pay to get 1t. he is
going to take a greater interest In 1t,
having obtained 1t. and it will have a
greater influence upon him than If he
merely runs into it or 1t is forced
upon him.
There has never been q time when
the people were keener to know what
Is the news of the world. They want
to know what their country and prov.
ince and city are doing, and more
than all else. they are curious about
what is happening to their neighbor
Man is a creature of locality, and he
is anxious to be informed upon all
the happenings in the district that
comes within his vision. II that is
true Of man, 1t is true to much
greater extent OF woman.
A woman's world is smaller than
mans. She does not have the oppor-
tunities to go about the city meeting
other people and Of being told of what
is doing, SO that the newspaper, with
its news of the city and Of her fellow
woman, and more than all else, with
the news of the stores is intensely IN
teresting to her.
It is this curiosity, this living in.
terest in what is going on all about us.
that produces circulation In the first
place. and circulation is the real basis
of the newspapers value to an adver-
tiser
The newspaper reaches the people
in the right place, at the right time.
and when they are in proper recep-
tive mood. The right place is the
home; the right time is the evening.
That is what makes the evening paper
a greater result bringer than morn
ing paper. The evening paper is the
logical producer OF good returns.
The morning paper is read by the
man Of the house before he goes down
to business, or on his way down in
the street car, and is then often
thrown aside. His wife, left at home,
has her household duties to attend
to, and has no time to more than
slightly skim through the paper. But
in the evening both man and wife are
free from these cares, and take pleas
ure in sitting down and going care.

at this time that the mind is most
susceptible to the suggestions that
are made in the advertising columns

terious thing which only favored

common sense adjunct of present day
business, made powerful by the great

Is 1t possible to noursh, strengthen and Re

Every who thinks uses up part of the

II he builds little less than he destroys

If he builds back little more each day, the
brain grows stronger and more capable. That
also is sure Where does man get the material
to rebuild his brain? Is it from air sky the
ice of the Arctic sea? When you come to
think about 1t, the rebuilding material must
be in the food and drink.
That also is sure
Are the brain rebuilding materials found In
