KNOWLEDGE
Is a Better Guide Than
Instinct When Buying s:
BY HOLLAND.

II NOWLEDGE is more
m widespread today than
ever before. Twenty-Five
years ago much buying was
done by instinct-done in a
haphazard way that is a
thing of the past like the
spinning wheel and the tai
low candle.
Your grandmother trusted
largely to luck-you depend
on knowledge when it comes
to spending money. What
causes the difference? Adj
vertising.
Publicity has revolutionized
business. 1t has increased
business honesty, has advanc-
ed business ethics and has
ended slipshod methods.
10 gain the advantage or
these changed conditions you
must have knowledge. You
must know values. You can
learn them only by studying
advertising. In no other way
can you learn what is best
and what the best is worth.
CARELESS BUYING
OFTEN MEANS
DISAPPOINTMENT.
Equip yourself with the
knowledge necessary for eco
nomical buying. If you have
money to spend you owe this
to yourself and to those for
whom you buy.

Schooboy Songs In Mountains.
There is a widespread practice in the
schools of Switzerland for parties Of
boys to go out in charge Of a master
and learn geography and geology by
actual object lessons. When such par
ties come upon a scene especially wild
and romantic it is their custom to sing
appropriate part songs. During a re-
cent tour in eastern Switzerland a
tourist was startled by hearing such
singing on one of the remote passes
and found a party Of forty or fifty
boys thus engaged.-London Standard.

these two men together in Rock Island.
II will furnish one of the greatest
wrestling bouts the tri-cities have fur

thusiasts who have seen one idol af-

have olRmored for some talented crap

Waterloo boy. In Harry Hartmann,

man who can turn the trick. II what
Hartmann's Burlington admirers claim
Is true, II is a certainty that Brown
is scheduled to have one the toughest
times OF his career when he bumps
up against the lower river artist.
But there is opposition in the field.
Burlington fans insist that the match
should take place in that city. and the
club there has started bidding against
the Illinois Athletic club. II seems

ACKERMAN SENDS
A Def TO BROWN
R. D. & M. Athletic Club Wres-
tier Challenges Waterloo
Grappler for Match.

Al Alderman. the wrestler, who is
appearing for the r. D. d NJ. Athletic
club in bouts at the rink in this city
and in Moline, is hot on the trail of
one Carl Brown, the great Waterloo
grappler, who has appeared several
times at the Illinois theatre and who
has uniformly been returned the win
ner. Alderman issued a challenge
to Brown a month or more ago, but
received no reply from the Iowan and
now he comes out with a sweeping
defy as follows:
Sporting Editor The Argus: l
wish to issue a challenge through The
Argus for a wrestling match with Carl
Brown OF Waterloo. I will wrestle
him any time or place at any weight
he wants and any way he wants on
the financial end | will go on win
ner take all, rs and Is, or so and so
per cent OF the receipts. Further l
will put up side bet in any amount
which Brown can or desires to cover.
If Browns manager is really looking
for a man who can give his wrestler
an argument they will find that they
can pull down more money by defeat
ing me than they could by winning
from any other wrestler in the country.
/ have been after Brown for six .ong
months and seem to be just as far
away from getting him on the mat as
was when I started. Personally, l
would rather write the articles for
the match than air the matter through
the press, but see no other way to
make him meet me and l hope viii
have 10 wait no longer.
Respectfully,
AL ACKERMAN"
That Brown and Alderman would
be a good card goes without saying.
By his successive victories before the
Illinois Athletic club, Brown has won
host Of friends who declare him
the greatest ever and who would be
delighted TO see him take on Acker-
man. The latter in his appearance be
fore the R. d. & NJ Athletic club has
also become a local favorite and re-
gardless Of where the bout were stag
ed it Is practically assured that a
capacity house would witness the af-
/ fray.
