It's not always Immediately
that advertising brings results,
but that it pays in the long run to
advertise in the Banner there is
no question. Just ask w. G..
Hays, he knows. Last spring one
of bis horses strayed away and he
advertised for same, but not until
a week or so ago did he get any
returns. A party down near
Redwater happened to run across
an old issue of the Banner and
seeing the advertisement des-
cribing horse which had come
to his place, communicated with
the owner and thus Mr.. Hayes
recovered his ,5rse.
Henry Kinds brought in large

IALLIES HAVE BROKEN THE
SPIRIT OF THE GERMANS
The Teutons, it is Said, are Definitely
Deprived of an Initiative in
the Verdun Sector.

Paris, Sept. 2S.-A semi official ac-
count of the battle of the Somme from
it's beginning (July -, appearing in
the Bulletin Des Armees, says that
the French have conquered lSO sepa-
rate kilometers {about 20 square
miles1 of territory, captured 5000
unwounded prisoners, removed 4,5O3
wounded and taken l44 cannon, most
of them of heavy caliber, 500 machine
guns and other material.
1t is pointed out that the entente
allies have broken the spirit of tn"
Germans at Verdnn, definitely deprived
the enemy of an initiative and turn
ed it in their own favor. Stree the
opening of the battle, the account says,
the Germans have thrown into the bat
tie 81 new divisions and II battleshiPs,
of which ~ divisions We're on the Eng
lish front and 81, divisions were on the

NEW YORK STRIKE HAS NOT
AS YET MATERIALIZED
Walkout Of Union Laborers Scheduled
for Wednesday Did Not Include
MANY Orders

New York, Sept. 2s.-Although lab
or leaders insisted tonight that the gen
eral strike of trades unionists in the
greater city in aid of the car men who
quit their places September 6, even
tually would involve at least half
million workers, there was no surface
indications of a tie-up of the city g
industry, as threatened after announce
ment was made today that the strike
had begun.
While the union leaders claimed that
125,000 workers in various trades al
ready had joined the movement, with
twice as many more ready to walk
OUT tomorrow, the police said they
had received no reports to substantiate
any such estimates. The actual situa-
ton, it was said, was confused because
! of Jewish holidays, which are being
celebrated here by more than O,OOC
union workers.

GREENSBORO MAN RECEIVES
DEATH SENTENCE FOR MURDER
J. A. Terry to be Electrocuted Decem-
Der Unless Supreme Court Gives
Him New Trial.

Greensboro, Sept. 2S.-Judge Webb
this morning sentenced J. A. Terry to
be eleetrocuted on December s, 1916,
sor. tbs rrprar- af .tobn r. Stewart
on July Is. This is the last chapter
so far as the lower court is concerned
in the trial of Terry, unless he is
granted new trial by the Supreme
Court. The usual notices of appeal
were given and the case will be argued
in Supreme Court in April of next
year. It will certainly be at least
year from the time the murder was
committed until the execution takes
place, if it occurs at all. The defense
was based solely on the plea of defen
dant S mental incapacity, and the feel
ing is that Terry has slight chance
at a new trial. It is to early to pre-
| diet whether or not his chance of com
mutation of the sentence to life i'm
prisonment is any better.
