VALUE OF HEADLINES
Copyright 1911, by Geo. r pa,,.r.o,

The real purpose Of the headlines is to catch the eye of the reader,
and interest him in the subject matter. That Is the purpos of the
headline to the news item, and that should be the purpose Of the head.
line to the ad.
The news iten would be extremely unauractve and the paper
would be extremely unpopular II the paper did not feature the more
important new items with appropriate headings.
In most OF the large metropolitan papers the highest saIaried men
are headline writer's. The management Of big papers appreciate the
great value Of headlines consisting OF a few we'll chosen words, which
give the gt Of the new In the items. Good headlines add to the
value OF the paper. Very few people read every item in the paper In
this busy age and the headlines make It easy for them at a aiance 20
choose the items they want to read.
Headlines tell the story in the item below in the shortest and most
concise form.
The news is gotten up in such shape Is to attract and appeal to
the readers s. as to sell the papers.
Advertising Is news relative to a business. 1t is equally true of
advertising that II should be gotten up In such shape as to attract and
appeal to the readers SO as to sell goods.
The advertisers has much to learn from the news writer. The
news writer writes the news first and then constructs the headlines.
Likewise the advertiser should write the body Of the advertisement
first and then construct the headings.
The first purpose should be to write a n ad that Is convincing In
itself. Then top IL off with a headline Or headlines that attract the
reader and capture his attention.
The headline to a news item contains the DIST of the news story.
and the headline to an ad should contain the sst of the selling story Of
the ad.

OF the Pirates has been sensational
They have dropped only one game on
the Eastern trip, making the best
showing Of any Of the Western teams.
Wildness of Wagner and Hall made
their victory easy yesterday. Babe
Adams held the Dodgers to five hits,
clouting four himself, including a
double. Carey and Kommers each
drove out important triples.
Cincinnati won a dizzy game from
Philadelphia, the fans attacking I'm

cision he made in the ninth which
paved the way for a three-run Red
rally. Policemen protected him and
repuIsed the crowd, which heaved
bottles and cushions at the arbiter.
Doom used Is players, including
three pitchers, Tom Seaton getting
the heaviest mauling Of the trio. Old
Mordecai Brown held the Phillies to
five hits. Hoblitzel sewed the game
up for the Reds with a triple.

the Giants by taking half of a double

put on fist fight Thursday, were

was lifted in the eighth when he
showed wild streak. Mathewson
held the Cards to five hits in the sec

each poled three hits off Perritt, one

Meyers also slashed four-baser.

CROP CONDITIONS

While we do not wish to gloat
over the other sections of the
state, which are drouth stricken
this season, we certainly feel
mighty good over the fact that
" e got the abundant rainfall of
the past few weeks and especial
ly that of last Friday and Satur-
day. We got it in the neck
pretty bad in 1910 and 1911 but
no worse than they did on the
east side of the river, but it hurt
us more. We were a new settled
country at that time and our
y ople, at least the great major

20 such failures, and in addi-
m a large number would not

Their words are hardly cold, and
behold, we have the garden spot
of South Dakota. Hundreds of
acres of alfalfa, in small plats,
are now growing all over this
country and the corn fields rival
those Of Iowa and Illinois; dairy
cows are being raised and milk

Third: Collect an initial charge
of three cents and rate of
half a cent a pound for each
zone.
Fourth: Admit any class of mer-
chandise to the mail.
1t goes without saying that
the above changes would quite
properly put the express COM
panies out of business T h e
rates are much lower than those
charged by the express compan-
les, in fact, they are about what
the express companies pay the
railroads for transportation.
However, Lewis shows that
the proposed rates are sufficient
to pay the government a big
profit. We certainly hope that
he is right.

most of us recall the fact that
his bail had been reduced from

AT LAST

The bank guaranty act framed by
one day this week by James Coffey.
state chairman of the democratic
party This means that the people
will get vote on this very importan,
piece of legislation and further delay
is at an end The bankers of the
state have always heretofore defeated
any move toward securing this very
much needed reform, either in the way
Of direct defeat in the legislature or
by pulling its teeth and making it a
dead letter proposition fr"m the be-
ginning. The action of Chairman
Coffey this week opens the thing up to
direct vote of the people, which can
he had in 1916. Dne reason for filing
the petition al this time is to get BY
the law passed by the last legislature,
which requires that the person filing
any such petition must swear that he
is personally acquainted with all the
persons who signed the petition; that
he knows that each one signed it per-
sonally: that all the signers are quail
flied electors: that each person sign
ed the petition with the full know
ledge of the contents OF the same.
Since this act goes into effect July l.,
there was no time TO spare. And by
he way. it looks to US like the las,
legislature was not overly fond of
action under the initiative, or they
would not have passed such ridicu
ious law as that stated above

Gettysburg Celebra-
tion Is Now On

What is probably the greatest event
of it's kind that has ever taken place
in the worlds history is transpirin2
this week on the Historic Battle Field
of Gettysburg. Veterans of that fa-
nous battle, to the number of 30, 900
are gathered in celebration of the
that field 30 years ago. Never before
have the heroes of two armies met
and enacted over again the stirring
scenes that have made battle great,
and Gettysburg was one OF the great
est battles of all times. Just as it
happened 80 years ago, at sunrise
Tuesday morning the two armies
stood bareheaded while the reviele
was sounded. then they begun to take
the same positions on the battle field
that they occupied on that day when
they defied death in that titanic strug-
gle. And as these once hostile forces
met in friendly communion on the
ground they consecrated with their
blood, there were few who did not re-.
call the closing words of Linccln's S
immortal Getty burg speech;
THAT we here highly resolve that
the dead shall not have died in vain:
that the nation shall under God have
a new birth of freedom; and the gov
ernment OF the people. by the people,
and for the people, shall not perish
from the earth.
No more inspiring scene, could be
witnessed than the one when the thin
line of gray advanced and the Union
line awaited them at High Water
Mark', and other points reached by
the different divisions. 1t is stated
that every face showed the emotion
stirring in each breast; and hand
clasp and embraces awaited the thin
line of gray instead of solid shot, and
grape and canister at ten yards; such
as Maj. Cowan's battery poured into
the ranks OF Pickett's gallant column
fifty years ago as it marched steadily
onward in the face of fire that mow-
&c them down by the hundreds.
Hiram Greedy, of Lennon, a vet
eran of that awful struggle, is one
among the thousands now celebrating
this great reunion. 1t is grand
thing to be living in an age and a
country where the foes of old, meet as
the friends of TODAY.
