PERSONALITY IN ADS
Copyright 1919 by Geo. e. Patterson.

What is 1t in one individual that gives him a greater influence and
command over people than another? What is It in one salesman that
makes him more productive of sales than another7 The answer to
these questions is simpIe-t is personality.
Personality has always had a wonderful influence In business. The
saIesmans success depends upon his personality, as he meets his pros
poets facetoface.
Personality speaks through written words a S we'll a S through
spoken words, and the influence of written words is just as potent a
the influence of spoken words. The press is fast dtspIacing the pulpit
and the orator al a potential force.
Today a new force is at work in business, and instead of one sales
talking to Individual the saIesmsnadvertiser talks to thous-
ands. If the advertiser puts the same measure OF personality into his
advertisements that the good salesman puts into his stalks to the indtv-
ui the results will be multiplied by thousands.
It is the personal appeal in the saIesmans talks that makes what
he says productive Of results. The personal appeal in advertisements Is
just as essential to sell goods through advertising. Back Of the per-
sonal appeal must be personality sincerity and confidence. The adver-
tiser WHO is strong in personality and puts his whole personality In his
advertisements, has a big product and believes firmly In his product
will have no difficulty in establishing confidence.
The great orator in the preparation OF his grafton takes into
sideration the occasion, his prospective hearers and how best to say
what he has to say to influence them. II the orator has great person
atty a masterful Grafton and a masterfuI delivery there is 10 question
that he will influence his hearers.
What is true Of an orator is true Of In advertiser. II the advertiser
has a great personality a big product and prepares a masterfui adver-
natural course.

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-One Of the mort
remarkable church functions ever
held took place last night at the Wa
bash Avenue Methodist Episcopal
Church when at a banquet Of protest
against the proposed leasing Of the
church by the Chicago Home Mis-
sionary and Church Extension So
ciety, J. J. Tobias. chancellor of the
Chicago Law School, declared that
the officials of the missionary society
were selling souls for a price.
These pseudo NJ Methodists-Chris-
tians they call themselves-are offer
ing to sell souls to the devil at Sl2
a soul" said Professor Tobias. They
accept bids for a church given over
to the worship of God and the saw
ing of souls for ~ years and the
highest bidder gets the church.
Il dare them to do IL. No one call
ing himself a believer in Christ, pro-
Tossing the doctrine of the Son of
God, can sell souls which rightfully
belong TO God for price.
why wait for them to auction the
souls Of the thousands of men and
women who might embrace the Word
of God? Why shouldn't we start this
auction tonight? l will start Il right
here by offering to the devil 1877. 900
souls for s792, 600. putting these souls
in the trust OF J. b. Hobbs, president
of the Chicago Home Missionary and

An appeal will be made TO the Rock

Here is the story of the tragedy,
from the very beginning that
means from the day when Admiral
Eaton was buried quietly and with
out naval honors at Dracut
This was the opening scene, so far
as the public was concerned This
was the startling fact that shocked
the nation and started people asking

slight to a rear admiral of the United
States Navy
Story of the Tragedy.
On March Il this burial, unpreca-
dented in the history of the country,
took place.
With the assistance of two hack
men and two reporters, the inter
ment was made. There was no FLAG,
nor roll of drum; there were no -e-
lieious rites. His widow and his ia
vorite daughter, Dorothy, stood by
the grave and w-tched the coffin as 4

part of Spalding County, and many
new cases have been reported this
week, making between twenty-five
and thirty cases in all The county
authorities have quarantined that
section, and notified the public Of

iaborers are taken from the fields as
to seriously interfere with the gather
ing of the cotton crop Farmers who
have been worst hurt so far are Jones
Bridges, L. B. Carr, B. C. Head, ]. T.
Robertson and Young Gray.

The man who had ranked high in
the service of his country was buried
thus with utter lack of ceremony.
Then came immediate publicity, the
investigation by the authorities was
revealed and developments followed
in due course.
Mrs. Eaton's own story of the ad-
mirars death was given to the press.
Here is the account in her own
words:
MY husband had been Ill; in fact,
he had been ailing for two years Ear
ly Saturday morning. was asleep IN
my own room-I heard the admiral
get up in his room, adjoining mine

to his room and helped the admiral

him when he died, very quietly. I
wasn't even aware that he was dead
at first. l spoke to him, saying: Are
YOU all right He did not answ er.
He was dead. I got up and ran to the
next house and telephoned to Dr.
Frame.
Poison Expert Is Employed.
Dr. Joseph Frame, the family ply
sician. was the one to whom Mrs
, Eaton telephoned.
Or. Frame. even before he saw the
body, summoned Medical Examiner
Gilman Osgood, with the result that
the dead admirars stomach was
turned over to Professor william
Whitney, the Harvard poison expert
for analysis.
The result of that analysis was
finally made known. after great Sc
crecy on the part of all officials con-
cerned. Developments followed rap
idly.
Mrs Eaton was indicted on six
counts. with charges as follows:
First Count-Poisoning of Joseph
G.. Eaton by white arsenic. beginning
with mixture OF same and tea, on
March 6. 1913. and continuing until
March S, 1913, day of death, by mix
ing said poison with water.

letter written by her to a Chi
cago lawyer in 1911 was "A piteous
appeal for advice and help to protect
her and her daughter from the ad-
miral, who, she said, was a dangerous
and subtle maniac.
The lawyer was Marshall E. Cal
lion, the attorney who had acted for
her in her divorce proceedings against
her first husband, Daniel Henry Aims
worth, in 1906.
Wrote of Fear of Death.
"The condition of this poor man is
dreadful" she wrote. He is sick,
helpless and sad old man and it goes
to my heart. He relies on me entire
ly. am his eyes, brain and life, and
still how can | stay here alone and let
him kill me and poor little Dorothy?
And he will do il and then wonder
where we are"
Residents of Assinippi and neigh
boring towns told of alleged eccen-
tricities on the part OF both the ad-
miral and his wife. The most start
ling OF these narratives concerned the
adoption of baby boy In 1909 by the
FAINT was their own. Later the secret
Of the adoption came out.
This child died not many months
after the Eatons adopted II and
scandal ensued for the admirals wife
and her daughter June accused him
OF having poisoned It. This was the
occasion OF the real break between
June Ainsworth and her father The
girl left home. it is said, declaring
she would never come back.

trial with outward calm that is won
derful.

then betrays the fact that she is

Seated at her sewing or her fancy

cupied since last March, this woman
upon whose life story the attention OF
the whole country is riveted, remains
poised and controlled.
Soon the eyes of a nation will
watch every detail of the trial that
is to decide her fate. But that fact
does not seem to disturb or dismay
her as she goes through the routine
daily life at Plymouth County farm.
No more romantic figure occupied
a cell in this country than Mrs. Jennie
May Harrison Eaton, whose career
is replete with striking events. Born
in the South. early in life belle and,
with all a young girls wild and sweet
ambitions, she married a man from
whom she was later divorced: was
thrown upon her own resources with
children to support; became a nurse,
went to the Eatons in Washington TO

STOCKS SHOW FIRMNEss.
A Boar Attack on United States Steel
 Proves Ineffective.

New York, March 3o.-The opening prices on the New York Stock Ex- change yesterday carried a degree of firmness which encouraged traders to believe during the early trading that except for the sentiment consequent at the week end. the outlook was en- couraging for a continued tone of bet terment. Some irreguIatity was shown in the list in initial transactions and an easing off from the high of some issues which had been remarkably strong on Friday was in evidence. There was no sign of marked activity except in eading, which was the feat ure of the early trading and held it's the end of the half hour this stock was over a point in advance of it's Fri days closing price. Lehigh Valley in line with Readings strong showing, scored a good advance and Union Pa cific also exhibited considerable, vi tality.
 At the end of the first hour trading was very quiet and prices sagged. United States Steel appeared to be as vulnerable stock on which to concentrate pressure but the hopes of, the bears was short lived as a buying movement began during the second hour, when the leading stocks reached new high figures for the present move ment The market was given a, strong CT character on the buying side by the Eected for leadership and the advance was more uniform than is usual on Saturday. United States Steel had a vigorous rally which disconcerted the bear side, and there was a general scurrying to cover by the shorts.
