When the Creator had made all

the beasts and reptiles and poison
Gus insects, and when He had fin
ished, He had some scraps that
were too bad to put into the rattle
snake, the hyena, the scorpion and
the skunk, so, He put all these to-
gether, covered it with suspicion,
wrapped it with jealousy, marked
1T with a yellow streak, and called

BOOSTER.
This product was so fearful to
contemplate that e had to make
something to counterfeit it, so He

wrapped these in civic pride, COW
cred it with brotherly love, gave it
q mask of velvet and a grasp of

him a lover of fields and flowers

at pays to Advertise"

A true word. spoken in jest, was
never better illustrated than in the
farcical study of American business
entitled 1T Pays to ADVERTISE" by
Roi Cooper Megrue. Written prin-
cipally for laughing purposes, the
play, nevertheless constitutes a most
Illuminating study in the final and
well nigh irresistible effect of sus-
tanned advertising.
Given the fantastic situation of the
farce, it is proven by thousands of
specific cases that catchy name and
legend, such as ''13 Soap; Unlucky
for Dirt, if systematically and read
ably advertised. will sell mediocre
product at a fancy price.
The play was most interesting
to advertisers and publicity men, az
it dealt with real names and real fig
ures, sifted skilfully into an amusing
mess of f0olery. Even the sensa-
tional and impossible stunts Of the
two promoters and the clever girl are
not unknown to the advertising
world.
1t must be remembered, however,
that advertising in no such casual
and ofThand science as the farce
would Indicate. Although catch
words and telling phrases like
"Uneeda Biscuit" His Masters
Voice" The Gold Dust Twins" and
Who's Your Tailor?' were probably
matters OF sudden inspiration and
have been at the bottom of great for
tunes, yet successful advertising calls
for something more
Choice OF mediums, effective dis
play, timeiness OF copy, and, above
all, sales system efficient enough to
follow up the Impression made by the
advertising are among the requisites
for success
All this, naturally, could not be
comprerended in the limitations of
farce. but the piece is nevertheless
OF such recognized merit that a great
southern newspaper lifted" the en-
tire New York company to its home
city, guaranteeing all expense and
compromising for all loss. merely as
an object lesson in publicity.

The Last War Governor

William Sprague of Rhode Island,
whose death in Paris was recorded
Saturday. was the last of the famous
war governors. He was 81 at the
time of his death and was only %
when first elected chief executive Of
his state. He served three terms of
one year each and his wonderful pop
uarity was shown in the third cam
paign. when IS votes were cast
against him in the entire state.
Spragues life had been tempestuous
and he had drained the dregs OF the
cup of bitterness. He served two
terms as United States senator in adj
dition to his terms of service as gov
ernor
His first wife was the beautiful and
talented Kate Chase, daughter OF Lin
coins secretary of the treasury and
later chief justice of the supreme
court. Their wedding was the most
brilliant social affair of that time
Sprague built a mansion at Narrgan-
sett Pier costing million of dollars
and filled it with rare furniture and
works of art costing hundreds of
thousands more. The Sprague family
owned immense print cloth and other
factories but their establishment,
rated at $16,000,000, went down i'll
bankruptcy in the panic of 1873.
Mrs. Sprague became involved in a
so-called romance and left the coun-
try. Roscoe Conkling, the famous
New York senator was driven at the
point of shotgun from the Sprague
mansion by the owner. Divorce fol.
lowed Canonchet, the famous
Sprague home, was sold over the
head of the governor who for weeks
defended it with an armed guard.
Later he obtained possession of the
property which was destroyed by fire
in 1909. Sprague and his second wife
lived in Paris in recent years and the
outbreak of the war threw open their
home as a hospital for the wounded
OF all nationalities.
For years the surviving triumver-
ate of war governors included
Sprague of Rhode Island, Holbrook of
Vermont, and Crawford Of Kansas,
and it was the custom of these three
men to exchange felictations on birth
day anniversaries. 1t is rather sur
prising to note that Gov Holbrook,
who died in Brattleboro in 1909,
would have been 1O2 year old if he
had lived until today-Brattleboro
Reformer.

THIEVES ENTER RESIDENCE.

Entering the house thru the cellar in
the absence of the family last week,
sneak thieves succeeded in getting away
with considerable property from the
Albert Gag residence on North Broad
way. Mr.. Gag was attending the
encampment at Lake City with the
Second Regiment Band and the family
were enjoying a short vacation at
Searles. Police authorities are of the
opinion that the marauders were aware
Of the situation in the Gag home and
took advantage of the absence of the
family to work unmolested.
A suit of clothes belonging to Mr.. Gag
an opal ring and some small change were
taken by the thieves. Burnt matches
were scattered pretty literally about the
premises indicating that they were afraid
to turn on the electric lights and did not
possess flash light.
