tention Of readers. Everybody does
not see what you print the first time
it appears More will notice your
cory the second day, great many
more at the end of month.
You cannot expect to win the con
fidence OF the community to the
same degree that other men have
obtained it without taking pretty
much the same length OF time that
they did. But you can cut short the
period between your Introduction to
your reader and his Introduction to
your counters by spending more ef-
fort in preparing your copy and dis
playing a greater amount of con-
vincingness.
You mustn't act like the little girl
who planted a garden and came out
the next day expecting to find it in
full bloom. Her father had to ex-
plain to her that plants require roots
and that, although she could not see
what was going on, the seeds were
doing their most important work
just before the flowers showed above
ground.
So advertising is doing its most
important work before the big re-
suits eventuate, 'and to abandon the
money which has been invested just
before results arrive is not only fool
ish but childish It would be just
as logical for farmer to abandon
his fields because he could not har-
vest his corn a week after he plant
ed It.
Advertising does not require faith
merely common sense. If it isl
begun in doubt and deserted before
normal results can be reasonably
looked for, the fault does not lie
with the newspaper or with publicity
1t rests entirely upon the head of
the coward who retreated before he
was defeated.

LIGHT WoRK FOR PLAGUE VIC
TINS

The Minnesota Public Health asso-
citation is developing committee on
tuberculosis whose special function. it
is planned, will be to organize the
whole state to provide employment
for tuberculous patients whose disease
is arrested. These patients are no
longer infectious. They may work
among others with perfect safety to
those others. But, in very many cases
they should not work so hard as nor
NAL people may; especially they should
not work at certain forms Of employ
ment; sometimes they should not work
at all.
The national Association for the
Study and Prevention Of tuberculosis
says that this condition in Minnesota
is by no means an exceptional one,
and that 50 per cent of the benefit OF
the sanatorium is lost without direct
and intimate attention to it.

One afternoon a negro boy about

into the city. His feet were bound up
in immense rolls Of cloth. His hair,
especially that Of the top Of the head,
seemed to be bit unused up.'
"What's the matter?" asked a
friend.

boy. "Pap, he done hit me on the

ALL PLANNED BY HUERTA.
Letter From Mexico City Alleges
Armed Intervention Was Sought.

That Gen. Huerta deliberately planned
the arrest Of American bluejackets at
Tampico. and other offenses against the
United States, with a view to bringing
on armed Intervention and uniting all
the Mexican factions behind him was
the substance of a letter received by a
high government official today from an
authoritative source in Mexico City.
The same official expressed the view
that Huerta had delayed his answer to
the United States for a salute to the
flag pending the arrival of the big ship
ment of ammunition on the German

HOW WILSON ORDERED
SEIZURE OF VERA CRUZ
Aroused From Bed in Early Morn
ing, He Issued Orders on Mo-
ment's Notice.

How the President ordered the seizure
of the customhouse at Vera Cruz on a
minutes notice. bringing affairs in Mexico
to a quick climax, has just been learned.
The President had gone to bed Monday
night after having read his message to
Congress. The Senate was debating the
joint resolution to approve the use Of
the army and navy, and the President
had determined to withhold action until
the resolution passed, although feeling
that in an emergency the executive had
ample authority to act.
