ADVERTISING SENSE BY
ONE WHO KNOWS

1t is only to be expected that
a newspaper man would believe
that the newspaper is the best adj
vertising medium. But when such
men as John Wanamaker and the
late Marshall Field Of Chicago
make the statement that the
newspaper . is paramount as a
publicity agency, that statement
has a peculiar significance.
In the same way a statement
made last week by Horace Ander
son, advertising manager for the
Title Guarantee & Trust Co., of
New York, which spends $780,
600 a year for advertising, comes
with convincing force:
Mr.. Anderson spoke from the
viewpoint Of the banker, but
what he said is worth repeating
for the benefit Of the merchant
and manufacturer too. The speak
er talked Of the great number OF
people who may be dissatisfied
for any of a thousand reasons
with their present banking facili-
ties and who are seeking other
banks. They are in the same class
with the people who are dissatis-
shoes or their article Of merchan-
soap, or machine oil, or coffee, or
shoes OF ther article Of merchan-
disc. They want to change, but
they know not where to turn.
Now here is the way MI. An
derson thinks the bankers should
20 after business Of this class,
and it is the identical method
which every other business man
should pursue:
You must do some kind of adver
Using that will keep you in the
mind Of possible users Of your
bank, so that they may think Of
you when the time comes when
they want a bank, be the time one
month from now, one year from
now or ten years from now.
In my opinion, the standard
daily newspapers Of New York
city are the best mediums to &C.
complish this result. | mean just
what 1 say, the standard daily
newspapers. For the purpose Of
making a general impression, |
do not believe in using the e
ligious or the business or trade
publications, the theatrical OF
the funny papers, the fraternal,
the financial or the local society
papers, nor do | believe in us
ing programmes 10 billboards.
These all have their use in the
proper time and place, but not
for the purpose Of making a
general, lasting impression.

alo hump on its shoulders ard its
horns are shaped somewhat like
a buffalo, only longer. The body
slopes toward the rump in the
same manner as the buffalo. 1t

been a cross. At first Mr.. Kin

struggling buffalo from the
Montana or Canadian ranges, but
later became convinced it was
either a freak or a grade.

his fast one. but as he released It he
jerked his hand backward, making
the ball revolve rapidly away from
him, which caused it to travel slowly.
The Spit Ball.
The spit ball is pitched with two
fingers on top of the ball, resting on
a spot that has been made slippery,
and the thumb beneath, against a
seam. Delivered overland, the ball
breaks downward sharply at the
plate In flight the ball revolves away
from the pitcher for some distance,
then floats dead and finally begins to
.revolve rapidly toward the pitcher.
Al Orth had his, own spit ball, the
reverse of Ed Walsh's. 1t was thrown
underhand, being released about OPP
posite Orth's knee and pitched on an
angle to the batter's: shoulder. Orth
held the ball with his fingers under
meath and thumb on top, wetting the
spot his fingers touched and gripping
the ball at the seam, with his thumb,
giving it a-fast, unnatural, backward
spin which helped maintain the angle
instead of following the natural arch.
Virgil Garvin's slow ball was deliv-
cred with second finger overlapping
first, thumb on opposite side of the
ball, the hand almost upside down.
The ball was released between the
second and third fingers, and at the
moment of delivery his hand was
ierked backward, causing the ball to
break down and in like left-hand
pitchers slow curve.

or. sidearm and with great speed.
Overland the ball is gripped with two
fingers on top and the thumb under
meath. IL is delivered off the ends of
the fingers, the fingers gripping the
ball tightly at release.
Due to~this pressure, the ball as
it revolves backward, travelling as
straight as a thrown ball may travel,
until it nears the batter, when it
jumps upward. This is the hop of
his fast one"
Pitched sidearm, the grip is iden-
teal, but the back of the hand is
turned, so fingers and thumb are
horizontal. This ball jumps in direc-.
ton of the gripping fingers. When
pitched by a right handler, the jump
is to the right.
The Curve:
The curve is held like the fast ball,
but the ball is released over the side
of the first finger instead of over the
tips. The break or curve depends up
on the pressure applied by the fingers
at release; upon the snap of the wrist
and upon the power Of the pitchers
arm.
Effective curve balls break down
and out (for right-handed batter)
or down and in (for a Ieft-handed
batter) when pitched by a right hand
er. The effectiveness of the curve de-
ponds upon the sharpness of this
break. The, ball revolves on an angle
of about As degrees, away from the
pitcher.
The Slow Ball.
One slow ball is held back in the
palm of the hand, gripped by the
thumb and little finger, the other fin
gers not touching it save at the base.
1t is pitched overland like a fast ball,
but instead of revolving wobbles from
side to side until it loses force, when

SALE OF P..|. RAILROAD BONDS
AUTHORIZED BY THE CITY COUNCIL
Public Utilities Commission to Close Deal Att
Figure Offered By Ohio Bond

the question of the sale OF the bonds
was thoroughly considered. The coun-
ell and the public utility commission
have been untiring in seeking the best
market for the bond issue, and 1t was
to arrive at public sentiment regard
ing the acceptance OF the s6 1-2 cent
bid that the meeting was called
The discussion was participated in
by Messrs. Lockett. McKinstry, Clark,
Fry, Lundberg, Demaray, Gilkey
Baker, Hooper and others, and all
stated their belief that the bid was an
excellent one, and that 1t was not
likely that a better one would be OBJ
tanned in the near future. II was ex-
planned that the acceptance of the bid
meant that the city would pay only
1-5 per cent interest on the bond
issue, a very low rate for western
municipal bonds, and on vote there
was not dlssenter 10 the acceptance
of the bid. This bid, submitted about
three weeks ago, reads that For
straight twenty-year bonds, principal
and interest payable in New York, de-
layed deliveries as money is needed
earlier our option, will pay ninety
six and half for city railroad bonds. >
The company has since renewed the
bid, and wants the entire issue o.
5000, 900, not agreeing to have the is
sue split.
Immediately following the action o
the citizens, call for session o
the council to convene at three o'clocl
was called, when the matter of th'
formal acceptance of the bid will b.
considered.

cluding many women and children.

Edward II. Richard, mentioned in
the above dispatch from the state
capital as having been appointed to
the recently created office of county
attorney, has resided in Grants Pass
for the past eighteen months, having
come here from Coyington, Louis
lana. He Is a democrat In politics,
and has been practlcing attorney
for the past seven years. For nearly
six years he was partner in the Of
flee of the district attorney In Louis
lana and there became familiar with
the peoples side in prosecutions of
evil doers, an experience that. will be
of material value as official prosecu-
tor OF Josephine county.
The appointments Of county attor-
ncys came by virtue OF the county at
torney bill, passed by the late legis-
lature, under the operation Of which
this county will have it's own prose-
cutor instead OF deputy appointed
by the district attorney. Former Dis

situation. Richard has been In the
county about eighteen months, and
has been practlcing law in this state
less than a year The county attor-
ney is the legal adviser of the county

Opposition to the appointment OF
Mr.. Richard was pronounced at the
w. C. T. U.instltute held at the New
man Methodist church Tuesday, and
while no resolutions were adopted
on the subject, It was decided to send
individual letters to Governor West
and ask that he name some one. be-
sides Richard for the office, Others
have also wired the governor, pro-
testing because of the short time
that Mr., Richard has resided In the
state, and the little time he has had
for becoming familiar with Oregon
laws. AS a result OF these protests
the governor has held up the ap-
pointment and will send his private
secretary to Grants Pass to make
personal investigation
