SELLS FLOTO IS
COMING JUNE I
Show Is Greatly Enlarged and Has a
Magnificent Collection of Well
Trained Animals.

William E. Haines, contracting agent
of the Sells.Floto circus, arrived in
town this morning and was kept busy
enough during the day hunting up sup.
plies, pre.empting lot and making all
the other arrangements necessary for
the coming OF the big show.
This is the 14th season that the Sells.
Floto circus has visited Salem. 1t
might be said it has always given good
performances in the past and full value
for the money, especially during the
last few years when the price was re.
duced to 25c, thereby cutting in half
the tariff which has been the usual

Appropriate illustrations will greatly
add to the effectiveness of newspaper
advertising. Such illustrations attract
the eye of the reader and direct atten-
ton to the ad. An illustration will
sometimes tell more than whole col
umn of reading matter. 1t can contain
an appeal that will create an irresist-
ible desire to buy the goods pictured.
An illustration should conform to the
ad and should help the ad to tell its
story. 1t should be appropriate and
should not be so large as to destroy the
harmony of the ad as whole.
The matter of providing proper il
lustrations for newspaper advertising
~ an important one; one to which mer.
chants and manufacturers cannot give
too much thought and attention. To.
day there is no reason why any bust
ness man should not have suitable illus
trations to illuminate his newspaper ad
vertising. The expense of providing
cuts is not too great and the greater
efficiency of the advertising will more
than repay for the money expended,
Great strides have been made in the
last few years in newspaper illustra-
trating. The illustrations that were
used in newspaper ads twenty years
ago, judged by present day standards,
were extremely crude. They served
their purpose and form contrast to
the beautiful work that is done today
There are many merchants and man.
ufacturers who are overlooking large
and rich field in not letting people
know by well illustrated newspaper ad-
vertising about the goods they have to
sell. By this I do not mean that pretty
pictures are what is needed No, what
is needed is the right kind of illustra-
tions; the kind of illustrations that
pull; the kind that make sales. Peo-
pie as a rule are governed in buying
by their emotions and pictures can
make a very strong appeal to the hu
man emotions.
The merchant or manufacturer doing
newspaper advertising should remem
Der that 80 per cent of the buying is
done by women. This being the case,
illustrations that will appeal to the
emotions will greatly help to produce
sales. rEor instance, q photographer

MUMMERY IN THE COMMONS.
"6laek Rod" and His Antics In the
English Parliament.

English Parliament
Many an American visiting the Brit
Ish house OF commons has heard with
establishment the cry BLACK Rod Is
coming!" and wondered what was
happening.
BLACK Rod" is simply an indication
of the persistency with which our
oversee cousins cling 20 a bit of an
tique mummery. Whenever In the
house this cry is uttered the sergeant.
alarms springs to his feet, closes the
doors leading into the lobby and turns
the key In the lock. Having thus dra
matically insured the commons against
an attack, the sergeant-at-arms takes
his position in front OF a small win
dow, where he listens to three raps oh
the door. Sergeant-at-arms then po-
litely asks what Is wanted and learns
that Black Rod has message to be
delivered to the speaker and the com
mons
Then when the door is opened an old
gentleman in black is seen to come
slowly into the chamber On his queer
old coat are three black rows; he wears
black silk stockings and trunks; a
black coat is held under one arm, and
a short black rod, with a gold button
q: the end, is in his other hand
Black Rod is most ceremonious. he
bows three times to the speaker and
delivers his message, while the mem
bers Of the commons put on their hats
Mr.. Speaker and the commons are re-
quested to enter the house of lords to
listen to the kings assent to an act
which has passed both houses of par
lament
Black Rod then bows TO the speaker
walks backward step by step to the
center Of the house and repeats the
salutation At the door he pauses
again and bows even lower
Sergeant-at-arms swings his mace on
his shoulder and follows Black Rod
Behind comes the speaker in his of
ciai robes. The members on the
benches take of their hats and rise In
their places. About half dozen OF
them follow the speaker into the house
of lords The speaker raises his cock
ed hat thrice and saluies the lord chan
ceIlor The message or royal assent
is read and there p further exchange
OF salutes
The speaker returns 10 the house IN
solemn state. and the mace IS iatd on
the table The business OF the com
mons is resumed without further in
terrupticn from the polite Old gentle
man in black

al Of the middle ages. when rhe house

Obscene Letter Writer Gets No
Relief From United States
Supreme Court.

Sioux Falls, S. d., March s.-Inform-
alton has reached the United States
authorities in Sioux Falls that the
United States supreme court has af-
firmed the sentenced imposed by Judge
Elliott, of the federal court in this
city, in the case of the United States
VS.. Lester p. Bartell. Bartell was con-
victed at a term of federal court held
in Sioux Falls last April of sending
Objectionable matter through the mails
Judge Elliott imposed upon Bartell the
maximum penalty prescribed by law
a fine of $4,000 and Imprisonment for
a period of five years in the federal
penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan.
The case resulted from a letter mailed
by him to Miss leila Derelee, a school
teacher, who lived with her mother in
Sioux Falls, the letter by mistake
reaching the mother, who turned it
over to the federal authorities. The
case was an unusually fragrant one,
and it was because of his that the
penalty was made so severe.
