What Advertising Does.

An ad will not do the impossi-
BILE. 1t will not sell that which
nobody wants. 1t will create a
demand for that which the peo-
pie need 1t will find buyer
for something the other fellow
wants. An ad brings the buyer
and the seller together. From
the standpoint of the advertiser
the thing is to first write the
ad so it will attract attention,
and then topublish it in a paper
that is read by the people you
would reach. The value of adj
vertising space is determined by
the number of people who read
it. The wise man buys adver-
Using space on this basis. 1t
is cold blooded business with
the man who spends good money
for printers ink. 1t is not what
you pay for an ad that deter
mines the cheapness of adver-
Using. Results only count.

joy riders in a taxi-cab were injured
at $3.50 this morning when their ma

plunged over thirty-foot embark
ment at Kimbelps Park, north of the
city. The injured are Miss Ira Wood,
dislocated shoulder, bad scalp wound
and loss of several teeth; Miss Clara
Wood, sister, arm broken; Russell
Kenyon, of Ames, four ribs and arm
broken; Jim Stanley, driver, was bad
lily bruised. An unknown man who
eluded the police, received minor in
juries. Another taxicab filled with
joy riders picked up the wounded and
brought them to the city. Every eff
fort has been made to keep the facts
of the accident from the newspapers.
This afternoon the unknown man in
the accident was identified as Louis
Clement, a merchant of Waterloo. He
.evaded the police and took an early
train for his home. The accident was
hushed by the proprietors of the taxi
cab company and although rumors of
the affair were rife in the city this
morning it was not until an investiga-
tion was started by the chief of po-
lice that the facts were revealed.
Stanley, the driver, is under arrest,
charged with violating the state law
by failing to report an auto accident.

tee, who says that Roosevelt will not
only address the convention, which
will be his first big speech since the
Chicago convention, but he will make
several others in Iowa at points not
yet selected before going further
west to continue his fight for the
presidency. That Iowa will be made
a storm center by Roosevelt is ap-
parent. Rumors have been circulat.
ed here for the past two days to the
effect that Roosevelt is displeased
with Senators Cummins and Kenyon
and the Iowa congressman because
they did not indorse him at the re-
publican state convention, and will
follow a similar course in Iowa to his
plans in Illinois, where Medill Nc
Cormick and his lieutenants have
served an ultimatum on Governor
Deneen to support Roosevelt and fav-

The republican state committee will
probably have the duty of filling at

tire. The state committee can fill
the places If it so desires. 1t could
refuse to do so and leave the places
vacant.
Four of the district candidates who
had their names placed in position to
go on the ticket are disposed to pre-
fer Roosevelt as candidate for pres

BALLOTS FIVE FEET LONG SAYS SALT KILLED Bah
PHYSICIAN BLAMES INJECTION
BY MOTHER FOR DEATH.
Strong for Even an Adult
to Withstand.

st. Louis, July IA summer vaca-
ton was turned into tragedy at the
home of Ralph w. Gilbert, when by
mistake Mrs. Gilbert gave her FIVE
year-old son, Ralph Milburn, strong
salt injection which made the child
unconscious and brought death five
hours later, according to physician.
The family was to have departed last
night for Detroit, Mich, the former
home of Mrs. Gilbert, on their vaca-
ton, but now they will take their
sons body there for burial. Mr.. Gil
bert is buyer for department store.
' The cause of death, acute sodium
chloride poisoning, was assigned in a
death certificate by DR.. Oliver H.
H. Campbell, of 3542 Washington ave-
nue., who was caIfsfAsto attend the
child after the injection, had been
given, according to DR.. Campbell. The
dose given by Mrs. Gilbert was at the
suggestion of her sister, who recon.
mended a saline injection for intest-
inal trouble, from which the parents
said the child was suffering.
The father denies an overdose of
salt was the cause of the death and
firms the lad had been ailing of in
testinal trouble several months. The
same strength of salt and water if in
jected into healthy adult would be
fatal, said DR.. Campbell in discussing
the mistake.

CONFUSION is EXPECTED AT
PRIMARIES IN TEXAS.
The Multiplicity Of Candidates viii
Make Selections Almost an
Impossibility.

Austin, Texas, July 17-What direct
primaries may do when carried to an
extreme is shown in Texas, where
voters will be called upon at the end
of July to choose Democratic candi-
dates for even the minor offices. In
this county there are so many candi-
dates that the ballot will be more
than five feet long, and in some of
the other counties the condition is as
bad or worse.
This condition has brought a re-
action against the present system and
there is much talk among political
leaders of the necessity of making a
change in the law so that the primary
shall affect only the chief state and
county officers, and that the means of
getting names upon the ballot shall
be made more difficult. The require
ments are now so lax that it is posi-
BILE for any man with a very small
bee buzzing in his bonnet to put him
self up before the voters.
1t is declared with the long ballots
there is bound to be much confusion
in voting and also great expense with
few good results. The multiplicity of
candidates is expected to bring bad
results in many ways. AS matters
stand a minority candidate will be on
the regular ticket for most places, for
it is almost impossible in large field
for many men to get a majority of
the votes cast.

.HAWKEYES FOR
SHORT BALLOT
Iowa Residents Of City Of Chicago
Go on Record.
FAVOR RETURN TO OLD SYSTEM
Fellowship Club in Weekly Meeting
indonse Conventions in Place
of Primaries and Plan
For Annual Picnic.

Chicago, July 17.-Special: A short
ballot and return to the old system
of county conventions, instead of the
present primary system, were advo.
Gated by speakers at the weekly
luncheon of the Hawkeye Fellowship
Club, composed of former residents
of Iowa, at the Auditorium hotel, the
consensus of opinion being that bet.
ter candidates would be chosen in the
old manner.
w. S. Robinson held that rural dis
tricts did not need the primary sys-
tenn as it was less difficult there to
choose candidates, which made the
selections more careful under the old
system besides saving the expenses
of general primary.
Under our democratic govern
ment," said o. C. Peterson, at is i'm
possible to get a line on the long list
of candidates such as we have, with
out reading the daily papers, and
then right line is not always given,
owing to party prejudice and other
causes. For these reasons the old
system appeals to me as the best for
our form of government"
George C. Otto advocated the short
ballot as the safest and best means Of
choosing candidates for office. Guy
Guernsey, who presided at the lunch
con, believed the short ballot and old
system of conventions was the best
"The present system" he said, "is
not entirely satisfactory and probably
never will be. We cannot educate
the voters the right way under this
system and the lengthy ballot. A re-
turn to the old system is best"
1t was announced that the second
annual picnic of the society will be
held at jackson park Saturday, July
81, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
Prizes will be offered for athletic con-
tests and to the Iowa county having
the largest number of former resi-
dents present a flag, donated by La
Verne w. Noyes. will be given. Last
year the flag was won by former resi-
dents of Washington county.
Mr. Guernsey will have charge of
the athletic program, and yesterday
it was announced that he would per
form the duties of high diver" if
a professional could not be secured
for that event
