AN ARGUMENT THAT APPEALED.

FRS. LYSANDER JOHN APP
MI PLETON. in her capacity os
First Standard Bearer for the
Equal Suffrage Party, never loses an
opportunity to make an appeal for the
cause Of Equality and Justice,
She sprinkles argument with her sea-
soning of meats and potatoes in her
kitchen; she serves arguments with
greetings in her parlor, and she passes
them over the counter to the butcher
and the baker.
She has found recently to her dis
tress, that members of the Home Mis-
sionary society of her church are very
lukewarm on the question of suffrage.
This great lack of progression has APP
pealed to her as strongly as the lack
of funds to keep the church going.
The ladies held a rummage sale. at
which they sold things they didn't
want to other sisters. who likewise
didn't want them; they gave dinners
and suppers and fairs and bazaars.
They gave a concert at which Day

cradle grumbling. because she did not
give the name of the person making the
request. so that the audience might
have known here to place the blame.
They solicited funds in and out of

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 23.-That

of the famous Briggs case. was quick

assembly and the seminary.
Charges of unorthodox teachings in
the graded lessons. and that some of

quickly settled. after a vehement de

The assembly then authorized the

proclivities for the automobile business

Business Conditions Good.
In speaking of the existing conditions
Bradfield pointed out that business is
better here than anywhere else.
Il have been surprised" he continued,
ito find that the newspaper advertising
campaigns here have not been as
strong as they should be. l believe in
strong campaigns and I think the
Southern automobile dealer does too
much advertising from purely pub
l1city standpoint. By this ! mean that
he advertises to get the name of his
firm and car before the public. His dis
play advertising does not, as a general
rule, carry human interest. 1t does
not contain enough arguments-the ar
guments which bring people into the
salesrooms. l realize that the news
paper will not actually take an order
for a car. But after the newspaper has
done It's work with the right kind Of
copy, il is much easier for the sales
organization The man who comes
into the store interested by the news
paper advertising arguments he has
read Is much easier to sell, providing
statesmen have confidence in their
product and the values they are offer
ing are honest"
