BUSINESS CONTINUES BRISK

Today is getaway" day at the
Auto show. Late tonight the doors
will close and the eleventh annual
Omaha motor exposition, the great
est ever held in the middle west. will
be over.
The exhibitors are planning for
the biggest day of the week. They ex-
pect to see all records for attendance
shattered and confidently anticipate
the number OF sales to surpass all
other days. Prospects on the verge
Of buying generally become con-
vinced on the last day of the show
that they need a machine and they
put in their order. Due to the mani
Test interest during the fore part Of
the week the exhibitors expect the
number of buyers today will be ex-
ceptionally large.

Agent Who Sold Them and Had to

Smith is Plaintiff and Johnson &

Case.
PANCoAST GETS A JUDGMENT

The troubles of the oil burners
thrown out of household heating
plants because they did not come up
to prospectus, have now reached the
courts with disappointed purchasers
suing to get their money back.
One especially interesting case
has just been filed in the district
court by Clyde G. Smith, formerly
agent for Johnson G. Lee, distribu-
ters, asking for s1,S15 reimburse
ment OF amounts he had to pay back
to dissatisfied customers, as we'll as
for his own time, annoyance and
wasted labor.
Smith was engaged to sell the OF,
burner on representations by John
son & Lee, so his petition says, that
it would furnish heat at small cost,
with no trouble and complete sat
isfaction, and upon these assurances
he sold and installed the burners in
the houses of a number OF people
whose names and addresses are set
forth, who, in turn, found after the
tIial that the burners we're not only
useless, but also damaged rugs, fur
niture and their neighbors patience
After vain efforts to fix them up
so they would work, his customers
made Smith take the burners out at
his cost

POLLARD PULLS
OUT FOR SUTTON
Dry Candidate Said to Have Been
0utmaneuvered by Baokers
of Omaha Man.
WANTS PROHIBITION TO WIN

A kaleidoscope view in the re-
publican governorship race has
been created by the sudden an
nouncement from Lincoln of the
withdrawal of Ernest NJ. Pollard,
who had been figured as one of the
strong competitors in the field. The
Pollard announcement is coupled
with lengthy statement of the
reasons and the declaration that
the withdrawal is in favor of former
Judge A. L. Sutton and in the In
terest of the dry campaign in Ne
brasl1a.
BY subterranean, however. comes a
rumor that the elimination OF Pollard Is
the result OF deal and one in which
charges OF bad faith are already enter
ing. Efforts have been in the making
for some little time among the so-called
drys to rduce the number of dry candt-
dates for governor In the republican prt-
marys with a view TO centering the dry
votes, and Mr.. Pollard was left under
the impression that he was the preferred
choice of the engineers OF the dry ma
chine. In this way he was prevailed
upon to join with Judge Sutton in an
agreement to submit to committee of
mutual friends the qusN1son OF which
should withdraw in favor OF the other
and this committee Is said to have been
lined up against Pollard by the pressure
Of outside influence on one or more of
the men on whom he relied.
POlIRrd's Statement.
Outside OF the statement issued Mr.
Pollard will say nothing. but there is a
feeling among his friends that the inside
story may come out later which may
clarity the proposition and that 1t will
not reflect credit on the manner In which
the deal was put over, although they be-
lieve that Mr.. Pollard had no hand in the
matter.
Following is the statement made by Mr..
Pollard as II came up from Lincoln;

A STANDARDIZED STREET DRESS

The conference of the home eco
Monies committee OF the Federation
convention in New York considered
for two hours the important question
OF woman's dress. and as a result 1;
was decided to introduce at one oil
the general sessions this week a reso
luton favoring a standardized dress
for women.
II was stated that the committee
had been investigating the practica.
bility OF the plan for two years and
have reached the conclusion that q
standard street dress for women Is
practicable.
Thoughtful women throughout the
country have believed for some time
that, the extreme styles OF the pas,
few years demanded serious attention,
but the difficulty Of in~stituting re
forms along this line has been very
apparent. The style makers have
had matters, pretty much their own
way and femininity has regularly sur
rendered TO the dictates Of fashion
until the street dress Of the period has
become the subject Of universal criti
cism and ridicule.
As Mrs. Thomas A. Edison stated
II. the everchanging styles OF today
are responsible for street dresses tina,
mot only astonish but horrify." Faith,
ers and mothers even have been ap.
palled al the dresses which custom
has forced upon their daughters, and
they have wondered II very soon some
f~ar-reaching reaction would not carry
the sex back to modest apparel. The
more extreme and immodest the
styles, the higher the cost has scared
until II Is seldom that garments made
OF the simple. modest and inexpensiy,
textiles OF old are ever beheld on IN,
streets.
Surely a standardized street dres.
would be n wholesome reform. and a
is impossible TO doubt that even IN,
ladies themselves would welcome suel

KERNELS FROM KRAcKED NUTS

An advertisement must be some
thing II it is expected to do something.
The establishment that keeps its ad-
yertising in the lead Of the business
procession will appreciate that value
Of that leadership.
That store that offers the best value
naturally has the most substantial fol-
lowing.
An advertisement often leads a
horse to water when the store force
can't make him drink.
Don't camplain Of the high cost OF
advertising: make the advertising
worth the cost Of purchasing 1t.
It is easy to do good advertising,
but 1t is easier II the merchant be-
lieves In his stock and what he offers.
Some advertisements r%everberate
through out the community but In
the big volume Of noise they say
mighty little.
There is someone who wants just
what the store has to sell-the adver.
Using problem is to find that person.
The merchant who is anxious to sell
goods that are worth selling, must be
anxious to advertise them in a way
that will make people understand and
be anxious to buy.
No advertisement can say 1t all
there must be something else that can
be said in the next advertisement.
Advertising is a logical proposition
but 1t must be logical advertising II II
is expected to appeal to sensible peo'
pie.
No publicity just happens, 1t must
be planned and worked over.
II at first you don't succeed make
your advertising lit the need.
Spread a gospel Of real values is the
purpose Of real publicity.
Business bringing advertising is pos
sible for a business deserving estab-
lishment.
II is better to advertise values today
than to push left-overs next week.
Shelfworn stock is often a result OF
unwise business methods.
Tomorrow's sales will be better II
today's advertising is better.
The way to make hay is to adver.
tise today.
Prosperity never deserts the mer.
chant who knows how to plan for bus.
mess and knows how to handle bust.
ness when II comes.
The developments Of today will
prove the need Of something to keen
pace with the advertising OF tomor'
rows. Keep going.
Advertising is It's own excuse for
being .
An advertisement that calls people
to the store does It's full portion-the
store must do the rest.
Excellent advertising may sell unde.
sirable goods but II wont sustain an
undesirable establishment.
Making the store better will help
make the advertising better.
Advertising is q link which fastens
the individual who seeks good things
to the store that offers them.
A value hat looks good In an adver.
tisement should look good when the
customer comes to look ut the article
itself.
Making people understand Just wha,
a store is striving to do will make
