And then the fly cops began to fly

Did you ever think what your ad in
the newspaper is doing for you? When
you close your store in the evening and
go home to your family and fireside,
not thinking about your business at all,
then it is that the paper is being pored
over in hundreds of homes-the homes
from which trade is drawn. And there
is your ad doing its work silently, but
surely, and if you have taken the pains
to make it attractive, its work will
be all the more attractive. This is
repeated over and over again, and is no

LOR|MER TELLS
HIS LIFE STORY
RELATES HIS DIFFERENCES WITH
CHICAGO NEWSPAPERS AND OF
THE OPPOSITION TO HIM OF
II. n. KoHLsAAT.
BY Associated Press.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Senator Lori
mer today told the story of his early
life in politics to the senate investi-
eating committee and talked Of his
differences with some Chicago pub
fishers and the opposition of H. H.
Hohlsaat to him.
He testified that it began at the
Chicago convention that nominated
]. G. Blaine for president. Lorimer
said he was a Blaine man and began
tc organize the Illinois delegation for
him; that Kohlsaat sent him word he
had no objection if he voted for
Blaine himself, but he must stop
working to split the Illinois delegation
or he would put him out of public
life.
Lorimer asserted he and HIS friends
split the convention and Blaine was
nominated. He said that afterwards a
newspaper story was printed to the
effect that he stole half a million dol
lars from the Chicago water depart
ment, but expert bookkeepers report
ed he turned ia all the money collect
ed. Four lines We're printed to that
effect.

Three accountants employed by the

were unable to remember many items
of allowances used in figuring the test

systems used by Armour & Co. and
Morris & Co. in figuring the test cost
were substantially the same and that
the allowances made for by-products
were inadequate.
