Disease is Batting.

Ellsworth News: An assistant
state veterinary came up from Des
Moines Tuesday and made a halt
hearted examination of the mule
that yet lived ON the Lindehack
farm.
He surmised that it was possible
that some poisonous substance had
found its way into the hay or SAT-
that the animals had been eating
and advised them to destroy what
hay and salt they had on hand.
Then he lighted fresh cigar and
supposed he had saved the country
from an epidemic that had proven
fatal in at least three instances.
DR.. G. w. Anderson OF Jewell ad-
mitted at the start that the case
bafiled him and tried to get state
assistance.
After three mules were dead and
the fourth one very sick, the assist
ant came and either knew nothing
or else was too unconcerned to tell
what he knew.
A petition was circulated We'd
nesday, asking Governor Clarke to
act upon the matter and delega-
ton OF four, composed of N. J. Nell
son. Jos Olsen, Leonard Lindeback
and F. o. Satter, went to Des Moines
yesterday to place the petition be-
fore the governor.
OF course the governor was not
to blame because the assistant state
veterinarian was incompetent, but it
was decided that he could do great
deal toward furnishing information
that would lead the delegation to a
competent veterinarian.

ton of a New England sea captain
in the fifty-fifth year of our nation,
when he witnessed new flag run
up to his ships halyards and unfurl-
ed-the gift Of his townspeople
when he left salem's port for a voy-
age around the world "a marvellous
sea going feat in that age. AS the
large flag swung to the sea, like a
sail in the breeze, CAPTAIN William
Driver exclaimed. Long live Old
Glory, mates, Old Glory!" for the
ripping stripes and stars were to
him the personification of grandeur
and beauty, and he was proud to be
an American citizen and have his
vessel SO designated on foreign seas

You would be only too quick to
cOncede that every line in the

Yes, advertising certainly pays.
There is no ad so small, or in
significant, but what some one is
waiting for it.
There are plenty Of people who
want what YOU have to sell. but
they are weary of looking
through haystack for a needle.
They prefer TO find it in an ad-

And they will look in the local

They will find someone 'srbut

COMING BACK
FROM CANADA

Washington, July 15.-Secre-
tary Wilson of the Department
Of Labor is pleased by reports
that fewer American citizens are
immigrating to Canada.
Two years ago 91.971 Amer
leans went to Canada. while the
number returning from that
country to the United States was
only 3S.317.
For the eleven months ending
May 81. 1914. it is said at the
department, 6S,396 citizens of
this country went into the Do
minion, while 44,127 Americans
returned to the United States.
A gratifying feature of the re-
turn movement to Secretary Viii
son is that large numbers of
those coming back are seeking
information from the department
as TO the location Of land on
which they may settle.

DOES ADVERTISING PAY?

The other day a local merch-
ant elevated his chin. squared
his shoulders, assumed IA belliger-
ent attitude, and defiantly told
us that advertising dOesn I
pay"
He is still alive. but let us
consider a minute:
A London baronet who manu-
factures pills has sold part Of
his real estate for the tidy sum
of x3O, ,OOO, 900. He made it ont of
the profits of his business. and
he built that business up by ad-
vertislng, often spending as high
rs half million dollars year
in printers ink.
John Wanamaker, the best
known and most successful mer-
chant in this country. made mill
lons by advertising, and said so.
The great department stores OF
the country are kept alive by
advertising. and are coming
money by more advertising.
You never hear of a large
mercantile house in this com-
try that does not advertise. and
advertise heavily
If politician wants to make
himself known to the dear peo-
pie he uses the most effective
means newspaper publicity
That is advertising.
If new son arrives at your
house You are keen to have it
put in the paper" where your
friends will see it, thereby ad-
vertlsing the fact that you are
walking on eggs.
If the editor called you a thiei

Never. You would consider
yourself DETAINED before the en-
tire community, and would paw

r. r. AS THE PRODI0AL SON

Washington Correspondence to
Sioux City Journal: A cores
pOndent in New York World de-
clares he likes Theodore RoOse-
welt in his new role Of the pro-
digal son. The correspondent
says:
You remember that after the
colonel had got about everything
he could from Father RepubLi-
can he had a row with the old
man and tried to wreck the
house, and then went to Ar
mageddon and herded moose.
After spending his political s,rb-
stance and subsisting for a
while on dead leaves and snow
balls, the regular moose diet, he
began to yearn for piece Of
veal. So he is now hanging r.
round in the vicinity Of his
fathers house., hoping that the
old man will come out and pull
him in or forget to lock
the front door. SO faar as
! am able to observe I
am in doubt whetheh the
old man will welcome him with
fatted calf or pair of hob
nailed boots.
