a TALK WITH The ADVERTISERS

Are you getting results from your
advertising?
If not, is it the fault Of the medium
you use or you or your store?
Is it the fault Of the copy or the
printer?
All these things must be considered
to get the proper results in newspaper
advertising. It is not every one that
can write an ad. You may be able to
write an ad that pleases you immense
y; it may be witty but a witty ad new
er had any effect upon the buying pub
lie; they right remember the joke
but forget the advertised article. An
al that might please the merchant
would have no business pulling power.
So every nan who would make a sue.
c,ss must learn just what advertising
reai..' is.
Ire pubic does not care whether
John Jones has been in business at
the savc stand for forty years. but
SHOULD he move they might be inter
ested and it would be a good thing to
advertise. If you are running a cloth
ing store every one knows that you
have men sUits-what they want to
know is the price and a description Of
the suit
Too may merchants spend a half
hour writing an ad when they should
spend three. Advertising is just rs
much the part Of a merchants busi-
ness as the buying Of anyone
with the money can buy some kind OF
goods but we can't all sell them.
1t is true today and always has beea
true that the more a merchant knows
about advertising the more newspaper
space he uses.
Abe Martin says The man who
does not advertise may know his own
business but nobody else does.

ANY BRIDE SATISFIED HIM
In india When the Groom's First
Choice Baked, He Accepted
Volunteer.

The Youth's Companion recounts a
story Of a wedding described In Dr.
Winifred Heston's "A Bluestocking in
India"
Yesterday | weBt to native Chris
tian wedding Many guests had as
sembled and the ceremony had pro
crossed to the point where Mr.. Grey
asked the bride:
Do you take this man to love,
cherish and obey?' when the young
woman in the case responded with a
surprising and unmistakabIe MOI
"Mr Grey labored with her in an
undertone. but TO no avail. The mar
riage had, as usual. been arranged by
the parents without consulting the
daughter. But 1t is almost an un-
known thing for a girl to be so bold
and disobedient. The situation was
then explained to the assembled
guests, and volunteers were asked to
supply the vacancy. A young woman
promptly came forward and the cere-
mony proceeded as if nothing had
happened
"Afterward the bridal pair left the
altar hv different aisles to hold a re-
ception under tree, where congrat-
ulations and rice were poured upon
them. The groom placed a silver ring
upon the great toe Of the brides left
foot, and a best man tied the groom's
neck scarf to the brides flowing gar
uANit, and thus they sat IN state for
some hours"

Biz Touring Car Wakes Up the Freak
Highway.

IA 80 horse power Stoddard-Day-
ton touring car equipped with ten
tube horn which can play anything
from Glow Dry Am" to Rocked

the biggest attraction in town today.
It is traversing the Freak Highway
across Kansas en- route from New
York to Frisco where the five pas
sengers expect to arrive August 10.
The car arrived here on time ac-
cording to pre-arranged schedule and
nearly two months have elapsed
since 1t left New York city. Instead
of coming directly from New York.
1t started west via South Carolina
having passed through all the South
Atlantic states, then It turned north
again as far as Pennsylvania, passed
through the Appalachian chain at
Cumberland, through West Virginia,
and into Tennessee and Kentucky
and then nearly directly west.
They have made an average daily
run of about 100 miles, have travel
ed 674O miles since leaving New
York and expect to make $4,000
miles before returning. B. Q. Til
den, president of the American SAM
tary Works, and western managers
of the U. s. Water and Steam SUPP
ply Co., Kansas City, were aboard.
They are calling on plumbers who
represent them. Here they visited

but does not state whether 1t will
fly or swim from San Francisco.

KTCKERS.

Some men were born to sing and
preach, and other ones were born
to teach, while Fate sat some upon
the throne, to prod their subjects
which they own, and some were sta
toned in the field, the grubbing
hoe and axe to WELD, and Others
still to swing the pick, but some, ]
think, were born to kick.
They kick because the north
winds blow, and block the roads
with drifts of snow, and when the
summer suns ray beat upon their
heads with torrid heat, they sit
around and squeal and scold, and
kick because 1t isn't cold.
They start to kick because "the
rain will surely flood the crops
again" And when the fields are
once more dry, they kick again and
breathe a sigh and say. "the hot
winds from the south, will bring
a long and dreadful drought"
They kick because no breeze Is
bound to turn their Roebuck wind
mills round, and, when the south
winds raise the sand in rasping
clouds they say, "The land will soon
dry up and blow away, hope the
winds will stop some day.
And so they kick as years roll
by, and keep. on kicking till they
die, and when they're dead and in
their box, their neighhors ought to
pile some some rock around the box
where they retire, for fear they
might kick out the fire.-Jas. G.
