A REAL DEBATE

If you want to here real Debate, a
real, live, bristling class of intellectual
giants-you want to hear the Thompson
Lybarger Debate on Socialism.
1t is fash of wit and CLASH Of argu-
ment-good natured but white heated
with conviction. There are no long
winded speeches. The rounds are short
sharp and decisive. One speaker has
scarcely finished an argument before the
other is tearing it to pieces.
Both men are masters of argumenta-
ton and repartee, and both are trained
debaters thru long experience. The fur
flies from first to last The facts and
figures, the attack and defence, the jibe
end jab, come so fast and furious that
you have to keep yourself wide awake
to follow the fight.
There is more fun in this debate than
in a three-riEged circus, and more edu,
cation thBn in a dozen books. 10 short,
il you want to string live wire thru
your mental cobwebs attend the Thomp-
son. barger debate.

CAN'T AFFORD 1T.

The other day a merchant said
he couldn't afford to advertise in
his home newspaper. If the
mans view we're not distorted,
he would see that he couldn't
afford not to advertise. Refus-
ing to advertise is his most ex-
pensive extravaganza. That
same merchant will spend hours
telling of the unfair" competi-
ton of the mail-order houses who
are his most aggressive and
dangerous competitors, yet the
methods employed by the mail
order houses which succeed are
the very ones which the mer-
chant refuses to use, The mail
order house first of all is an ad-
vertiser. Advertising is the life
of its business. Every magazine
that enters the small town and
rural home carries the ad Of the
mail order house. Expensive
catalogs are printed showing the
illustrations of the actual arti,
cles. Occasionally sheets are
scattered broadcast over the
country as a special "come on"
for the bargain hunter. Instead
of doing these things in a small
Ter way through the columns of
his local paper, the merchant
who can't afford to advertise sits
down and "cusses" his tough
luck and wonders why he can't
get the business. He never
thinks he has better opportuni-
ty to reach the people in his
neighborhoOd than the mail
order house has. It doesn't cost
him as much as it does the out
slider; he can draw the people to
his store and show them the act
ual article be is advertising, and
when they buy, they can take
their purchase home with them
instead of having to wait for
several weeks for it. Advertis-
ing is an investment 1t should
be charged to your selling cost.
Figure what per centage you
have to pay to advertise, then
base fifty two weeks campaign
on the computation. You can't
lose. You can't afford not to ad
vertise!

New York with 900 passengers,
according to dispatches from Liv-

were Americans.
Although the office OF the line

she left the Mersey river. She

The Lapland left Liverpool at

GIRLS As
CURE FOR
MISDEEDS

ALBANY, N. Y, March 12.-
A fine little Spanish inquisition
resort is the state training school
for girls at Hudson.
Some of its methods are de-
scribed in detail in a report to the
Legislature from the department

1t recommends the removal of
superintendent III. V. Bruce. a
One of the choice ways of pun
fishing alleged inmates is the wat
err cure.
Laid Across Blanket Roll
It's application is thus detailed
in the report:
The girl is taken to her room
by the assistant superintendent,
accompanied by the trained nurse
and one of the matrons. The
bedding is removed from her bed,
a blanket rolled in place on tho
wire springs, the girls clothes
loosened, her hands handcuffed
behind her back and leg irons
put on her feet. In this condi-
ton she is laid across the roll OF
blankets on the bed.
Strangles or Suffocates
"The assistant superintendent
sits on the knees or the girl,
while the hospital nurse dips a
towel in water and holds 1t,
sopping wet, over the girl s
mouth for 10 minutes.
The girl strangles and in the
endeavor to breath through the
wet towel drags in the water.
This treatment either strangles or
suffocates her and is kept up until
the girl gives in"
