met Mines Meet Obstacles.

Calumet, Mich, July 2S.-Mine opera

pared today to follow the advice of
the state militia commanders and re-
sumo operations with every available
man of the 5000 miners who have been
idle since July % as a result of the
Western Federation of Miners strike.
Because of the fact that fires had been
banked for days in most of the plants,
the work progressed slowly and up to
noon it was impossible to learn defn-
itely what degree of success attended
the movement to becalm the strike.
The first shots of the strike were
fired early today at the Isle Royale
mine A sentry guarding a powder
house detected several men approach
ing the place and fred when they failed
to heed his command to halt. The in
truders fled and a company of guards
men secured the district for half =
mile in all directions but without max
ing any arrests.

BUSINESS BETTER
Railways Receipts for May Ex-
coed Same Month Year Ago.
Earn Eight Millions Daily
1898 for Each Mile Line.

According to statistics by the bureau
of railway economies, during May the
railways of the United States received
for their services to the public an aV-
erage of SIS, 230, 900 a day; it cost to run
their trains and for other expenses or
operation s., 100000 a day; their taxes
were $341, 500 a day; their operating in
come $1,972, 1922 a day for the Z2O,S91
miles of line reporting, or at the rate
of 1898 for each mile of line for each
day. Thus for every six dollars OF
their earnings which remained availa-
bic for rentals, interest on bonds, ap-
preparations for betterments, improve
ments and new construction, and for
dividends, the railways had to pay
more than one dollar in taxes.
All of these amounts are substantial
ly greater than the similar returns for
May, 1912. They are from the summary
of the earnings and expenses compiled
by the bureau of railway economics
from the monthly reports of the steam
railways of the United States to the
interstate commerce commission. They
include over 95 per cent of the mileage
and earnings of all of the railways of
the country.

Do You
Read Adver-
tisenents?

Do you?
The question is one of
exceptional Importance.
1t has SO many intensely
interesting angles.
Advertisements h e m
selves constitute a class of
literature that daily COM
mands worldwide atten-
ton.
Think of the number of
daily newspapers there are
in North America.
Think of the dollars
spent daily in advertising.
Think of the enterprises
that are behind the adver-
Using in the daily papers;
the millions of dollars in
vested; the countless num-
Der of employees; the enor-
nous number of shoppers
m ore t h a n 100000
each day!
Would all this exist if adj
vertising were not an ele-
ment of colossal power?
Take HE TOPEKA
STATE JOURNAL, for in
stance.
Look at the advertise
ments.
Note the daily message
to an appreciative public.
Observe how the adver-
tisers aim to obtain your
patronage.
Reflect what must stand
behind good advertising.
Integrity of character;
good store service; stocks
of merit; stocks compre-
hensive enough to meet a
varied daily public demand.
Proper and effective stock
displays.
These are the spokes in a
gigantic commercial wheel.
So when you read the
advertisements in THE
Topeka STATE JOUR-
NAL, give this subject
some thought, and you will
have a better appreciation
of the power and purpose
of advertising.
