HONESTY IN ADVERTISING.
Honest Policy the Only Success
full Plan.

Business that would attain
leadership in a competitive held
must advertise. a big manu-
featuring concern doing buSi-
ness everywhere and especially
one whose goods last so long
that they sell each consumer in
frequently, cannot afford the eX-
pense of having men everywhere
on the ground to solicit orders
at just the right moment. This
causes q demand for the goods
and big selling or jobbing con-
Germs gladly do the rest of the
work of delivering the goods and
collecting for them. This makes
the best and most economical
way to do business.
Advertising effects a saving
by economically paving the way
for the sales manager to make
sales quickly and easily by. cor
respondence or the call of his
statesmen. 1t picks out the real
prospective customers and leaves
out those who are not inter-\
ested.
There are honest and dlsiOn-
est kinds Of advertising. Facts
clearly and honestly stated are
the best selling arguments in
the world and make a healthy
growth in business. Once cer-
tain rate of progression has been
attained on an honest basis, the
business will generate its own
power and ascend the hill of sue
cess
If. on the other hand, the
goods are m / srcpres e n e
through dishonest advertising,
the confidence of the people in
that house will be shaken and
ruin win soon come from the
expense Of the advertising with
out the necessary volume Of
business from happy customers
to pay for it. Such experiences
affect the confidence of every
one in advertising in general,
and iniure, to certain extent,
the honest advertiser.
Advertising, to be n success.
must be honest not only i'm big
things, but in little things as
well. The people may be fooled
part of the time, but the time
soon comes when a dishonest ad-
Vertiser finds out he can't fool
the people very long. This ac-
counts for most failures in adj
vertising.

Audubon Veteran" Heir to $4,000
Back Pension, Declared I'm
poster.

Special-Lots Of interest has been
centered at Audubon because of the
recent activities of William Polite
who recently deluded the inhabitants
of that city into believing that he was
veteran of the civil war and as
such had received back pension
amounting to more than $4,000.
He informed the editor of The Re-
publican of his great good fortune
and granted him an elaborate inter-
view, which was properly embellished
with stories of the different battles
in which the new Croesus had en-
gagged. Everything was given in de-
tail, even to the number of times he
was wounded and the story was
printed in many city and country
newspapers over the state.
Polite was a very popular man,
especially with the real estate agents
who endeavored to sell him home
as grand investment for his sudden
riches. All were counting his favor
and Polite and his wife enjoyed many
courtesies and automobile rides ga
lore. For some reason or other they
were hard to please.
All would be going we'll for Mr..
and Mrs. Polite even now had not
the old soldiers become suspicious Of
Polite's story and started an investi-
cation. A letter was sent to the pen
sion department at Washington and
a few days later information was re-
ceived branding Polite an an i'm
poster. The name of Polite did not
appear upon the pension rolls and
no back pension had been allowed
him, the letter said.

Secretary of State Helpless.

The secretary of state has request
ed the newspapers to explain to the
public that he has no authority under
the law to enforce collection of auto
licenses; that enforcement of this
law the same as of any state\law lies
with the county sheriffs, attorneys
state does or can do is to take the
money, register the machine and
send out the number plates.
This situation is all the more rea-
son for simplifying the collection OF
auto license taxes. If the county Off
GERS are the only ones who can en-
force the law the county treasurer
should collect the auto license tax
the same as any other tax or the
county auditor could issue number
plates the same as he issues gun Ii
censes.
Get this license down to call at
the court house and there will be no
excuse whatever, for an unlicensed
car. Then the county attorney,
sheriff and local police could go after
the tax dodgers with a vengeance.
tits time the auto license law were
amended as to collection of the mon
ey. Incidentally it would promote
the building Of the kind of roads the
auto owner needs if the whole fund
were administered by the highway
commission as a state aid fund In the
construction OF hard surfaced roads
but whether that 10 done or not the
place Tor people to pay their taxes is
at the court house ut home.

Prices Forty Years Ago.

When we were small boys Oul
father gave us a discarded and out
of-date day book from his grocery
store, to be used as scrap book
We regret to say that most of the
book is filled with scraps cut from
newspapers, but the last pages OF
the book are still inviolate, and they
bear date of the first months of 1874
just forty years ago. The little store
was conducted in LaValle, Wis, and
the writer waited upon customers
somewhat, even then. In fact, we
| find few entries in the book in our
own handwriting. Below we give
you few of the prices charged. We
quote from the business of March II
and few days following:
Two pounds tea, $2.10.
Two pounds Topsy tobacco, 80
cents.
One pound tea, 80 cents.
One and three-quarters pounds
rice, 2 cents
One pound raisins, 20 cents.
One package yeast, 10 cents.
Nine pounds sugar, 81. (This
must have been brown sugar.)
One half pound tea so cents.
One quarter pound tobacco, 25
cents.
One pound coffee, 40 cents.
Three bars soap, 25 cents.
,One-quarter pound mustard, Is
cents.
One gallon syrup, 80 cents.
One broom, Is cents.
One paper of pins, 5 cents.
Pork, cents a pound,
Eggs, / 3 cents dozen March 21)
Three and one-half pounds white
fish, 35 cents.
Ten pounds salt, 20 cents.
Two pounds butter, 60 cents
March 23.)
Cheese, IS cents.
One-quarter pound tea at $1.3O,
SO cents. (This was green tea.)
One gallon vinegar, 40 cents. We
next find a credit of four days work
Sc.
One box backing, Is cents.
Eighty pounds grass seed, S.
probably timothy seed.)
Three pounds dried apples, SO
cents. 81
One ounce cloves, 10 cents.
Two pounds graham crackers, 80
cents
A credit of ~ cords wood, $3.50.
One ounce nutmegs, IL cents.
One pound saleratus (soda) 13
cents.
This list was selected without ref
erence to the cost at the present
time, but you will notice that the
high cost of living is not so much in
the prices as in the appetite. You
will note that while sugar sold at $40
to 1920 hundred that wages were
only $3.50.
This was ten years after the civil
war closed, SO that war prices we're
not affecting the market. It was
some three years. after the railroad
was built through the town, SO the
shipping facilities were good. Char
