Man And Wife In Army.

A romantic incident of the war is
told in the German papers regarding
a charming couple who were recently
to be seen in the streets Of Warsaw.
The one is young Russian officer,
who moves along with the aid Of
crutches and of the arm of a still
younger looking Russian private.
The youngster has an arm in sling.
Both were wounded in battle and
wear the decoration of the cross.
The young soldier is the wife Of
the wounded officer and is the daugh-
ter of a Russian princess. These
young persons met in train en-
route to Warsaw recently and fell
in love. The officer was on his way
to join his regiment in Warsaw, and
the young lady was going IN the
same direction to visit some friends.
The journey required more than
two days and when they left the
train the young couple sought a
priest and were married.
AS the young officer had to leave
at once with his regiment for the
front, the young wife enlisted as a
private, donned a uniform and ac-
companied her husband to the front
under an assumed name. 1t was in
the battle of Rawak that both were
wounded. New York Herald.

ROADS,.

About every paper you pick up has
something in, either for or against
hard surfaced roads. We rather think
that the majority of comments are
little useof the pcnurious minded news
paper men and statesmen kicking
about them, and saying they are too
expensive. Expense or no expense
Iowa will have quite a few miles of
just that kind of roads in five years;
in ten years a great many of 1t, and
in twenty-five hundreds of miles of
roads, hard surfaced and fit to be
travelled any time, day or night. The
hard surfaced road is coming, and so
is the day when man doing road
work for the county will try to see
how much and how good work he can
do in day, instead of how little and
how poor work he can do.
There is a change coming and when
it comes it will come quick and hard.
1t might even happen that engineers
with as much ability as those who
lay out railroads will be employed to
do the work; and it may also happen
that the road will not be run in
corkscrew line just to accommodate
some heavy taxpayer or man with
political influence. Lands will be con-
demned for roads just as they can
now be for railroads and we will have
the roads.
Iowa is just little slow in a good
many ways, schools and roads being
notable instances, but when she does
wake up she'll wake up with rush.
Illinois will have hard roads to the
east of us. Minnesota already has a
great many miles of it to the north
of -uS, and Nebraska will have miles
and|miles of hard road before many
years, and Iowa will just naturally
have to have the roads or travel will
go the other way--and even the worst
of us wouldn't stand for that.

Advertising School
(Lessop No. 90

Picking up an exchange today the
writer noted the advertisement Of a
coal dealer. 1t had a caption in big
black type as follows:
MI. Wiseman Says.
81 The advertisement went on to state
that Now Is the time to buy coal
cheap" This was in small type 4,
This is an illustration of tho com
mon error in emphasis. The public
would not care to know what any
mythical "Mr. Wiscman" says. II It
can get its fuel cheaper at a given
time. it wants to know it and to be re-
minded of it. The words Buy coal
cheap" and Now are the only ones
in that advertisement that could in
Iuence the public mind, Those should
have been set in the heavy type.
The advertisement writer should al
ways keep in mind appealing directly
to the motives that most influence the
buying public. These motives are
such as the following:
To reduce the cost of living.
To buy for low prices.
To get substantial goods that will
wear. To get the latest styles. TO
get SOOuS THAT are dl tisLiIaliy dttldS-
tive
And in food products, to get appe-
tizing. sanitary and attractive goods
at low prices.
An advertisement that does not ap-
peal to the above motives or some
thing equally forcible is detective. 1t
may be useful and help keep the adj
vertser before the public. But 1t
does not give the advertiser the full
benefit of the money which he has
paid for his space.
To sum up the suggestions OF these
lessons. the following may be offered
as a series OF notices for the adyer-
Using writer:
/. Use the reason why motive.
2. Don't crowd too much small type
in your space.
8. Give the public information
about your goods.
4. Use plain language as you would
talk to customer over the counter.
5, Give definite facts about the
goods and state prices.
6. Make the advertising newsy by
telling about what has happened in
your store.
I. Emphasize the words and SEN
fences that will appeal most keenly
to the public.
s. Address yourself directly to the
motives that lead people to buy.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Sept. 12-Wm.
J. Bryan, who is here to deliver an
address before the Swedish Evangcli-

tonight, gave out the following state
ment on current affairs in response
to query by the newspapers of the
Twin Cities AS to Ambassador Dunn

"The situation was such that the

duties This does not, however, COM
pei the breaking off of diplomatic re-
lations and our government wisely &C
companies the request for recall with
an assurance of good will"
AS to the proposed loan of vast
sum, Mr.. Bryan continued:
AT the beginning of the war, this
government expressed it's disapprOval
of loans to belligerents. An excep-
ton was afterward made in favor OF
the credits given by banks here to
cover purchases. This proposed loan,
however, is so large and will require
the cooperation of so many people to
insure its success that it raises sever.
al serious questions. the most import.
