ADVERTISING THAT PAID.

ADEN EKIlS1NG THAT PAID.
This is no theory framed up in
some city guys office. Here is some
thing that actually happened. That
is, here is how one merchant put his
out-of-town competitor on the rum.
1t happened in country town in
Ohio. Two carloads of goods-staple
necessities of life-were standing on
the side track. They had been ship
ped in from Dayton to fill a demand,
supplied by an outside salesman who
had happened to be in town with the
proper bunco to "get away with the
orders" s,"-and that, too, at prices a
shade higher (plus the freight than
the local merchants quotations on
the same articles delivered at the
customers door. This struck me as
rather amazing and l thereupon in
vestigated the cause of the unfor
tuna.e situation.
Dropping into the leading grocery
store of the town, inquired why,
they didn't stop this intrusion into
their trade. "How are you going to
stop it." growled the "boss." Adver
tisev' I retorted. Advertise" repi-
ed the grocer, "why, Pm one of the
best customers our local paper has.

Then lit into him, "Now, my friend

well enough. But how about your
goods? You know there is advertis-
ing and then there is advertising. One
kind spreads your name all over
everything until your goods are hid

use of your paying the local paper for
telling the people what your name is.
What you want to do is to stimulate
an interest in your goods. Put out

He has kept clear from factional di:

He was prominent in the tariff de

over the admission to statehood o

a member of the very important com

All matters of legislation looking
toward the betterment of conditions

ism inherited as a virtue, he has Ia
bored faithfully in the interest of the
veterans of all our wars, their widows
and orphans, repeatedly lifting his
voice in behalf of pension legislation.
krdently he has fought for the inter
ests end welfare of the farmers, who
look with especial favor upon his can
didacy. He supported the bills estab,
fishing a children's bureau and the
department of labor, and the constitu-
tional amendment providing for the
election of United States senators by
the people. He voted for the corrupt

measures are presented and consid

Willis was formerly an instructor in
law, economics and history in the
Ohio Northern university at Ada, and
even before entering politics became
widely known as an educator and lee
turer. No man connected with thai
thriving university ever made more
or better friends, and the thousands
of alumni and students now scattered
over the state are with remarkable
unanimity 4exerting their influence ii

Through the administration Of thu
Willis law, Of which he was the

enactment The law made it possible
to reduce the taxes of the farmer anc

Broad, liberal, prudent and impair

WILLIS ANSWERS
CALL FOR LEADER
Regarded Man to Head Assault
Upon AutOcratlc Machine.

His Splendid Record In Pubic Life,
High Character, Convincing and
Compelling Oratory, Freedom From
FactionaI Controversies, Unques-
toned Equipment, Wide Acquaint-
anceship Over the State and Broad
Minded, Constructive Statesmanship
Are Deemed the Necessary Qualifi-
cations to Assure Republican Vic
tory.
With the spirit of unrest, distrust
and dissatisfaction manifest among
the people as a result of the gigantic
machine building methods, unfair
practices and efforts for czar-like con-
troll on the part of the present Dem
ocratic state administration, there is
a call for a real leader.
In the crying need of all classes for
relief from the strangle hold Of one
man rule in Ohio-from a state ad-
ministration relentlessly seeking to
satisfy it's lust for power at the ex-
pense of the people, there has come a
growing appeal, to which thousands OF
thinking Democrats have added their
voices, for the nomination by the Re-
publicans of a candidate of unusual
strength.
The man sought must be big enough
to command statewide recognition
and respect and by such lead vic
torious assault upon the well-en-
trenched army of personally appoint
ed officeholders, big enough to rally
and unite the rank and file of Repub-
licans and Progressives; and he must
also be of such sterling character and
recognized ability as to bring consti-
tutional order, system and economy,
after his election, out Of the confused
legislation and "job-crazy" public
chaos into which the present admin
istration has plunged the state.
With this Herculean task awaiting
a standard-bearer for whom the peo-
pie of great state, restless under
the monarchial grip of the present
administration, are looking, the Re
publicans of the Eighth congressional
district Of Ohio have come forward
with their big, brainy, clear-eyed con-
gressman, Hon. Frank B. Willis, who
has attracted nationwide attention
and who they declare will lead the
party to certain victory. ~
Those who know Willis point to his
splendid record in congress and in the
Ohio general assembly as evidence OF
his efficiency. His broad acquaint
ance over the state, his reputation as
educator, public speaker and mem
Der of congress, his support Of pro
gressive measures, his capacity fol-
work, his enthusiasm and optimism
make him an ideal candidate.
Willis is recognized as one of the
of the ablest political speakers in Ohio

NEW FIELD FOR WOMEN

The field of public health

Young women who are gradu-

It is suggested that young

JENSEN CASE
DISMISSED

The case Of the state of Wiscon-
sin against James Jensen was dis
missed IN Judge Pomainville' S court
this morning on motion of District
Attorney Chas. E. Briere.
Jensen was accused by F. D. Cal
way OF NeillsvilIe, of substituting a
poor tire for a new one on an auto
mobile left at the Jensen garage for
repair. The complaint. was made on
June %.
Goggins & Brazeau appeared for
the defendant and the state was rep
resented by district attorney Chas.
E. Briere.
1t is evident from the fact that
the complaint did not appear in
court that he was not anxious to
press the case and from what can
be learned, he would have had
very difficult proposition to prove
that Mr.. Jensen was guilty. The
fact OF the matter is that the fail
ure of the complainant to appear.
shows that he never did have a case
against the defendant and absolute
" exonerates Mr.. Jensen from the
charge of larceny as stated in the
complaint.
