They also realize that the future is
even going to be better than the
past and when a meeting is called
to explain the proposed plan and
methods Of payments on the stock
there will be enough money ready
to assure the organization OF such a
company at the meeting.
Merchants and property owners
also realize that Bogalusa is face 70

The "why" of Mail Order Towns

Our merchant friends who say they
do not need to advertise, because they
may have been in business since Pixies
Peak was hole in the ground. can get
a tip on trade-getting from the ways
of the department stores. Mr.. Herman
Rosenfield, advertising manager for
Sears, Roebuck & Co. of Chicago, told
the American Ad club recently that it
was in communities of "well establish
ed merchants who do not need to ad-
vertise," that the department store
makes the biggest harvest. Here is
what he said:
We have bureau whose duty it is to
read the country newspapers from all
over the United States. There is not a
paper of any consequence in our trade
territory that our bureau does not get.
This bureau looks over these periodicals
and when they find a town where the
merchants are not advertising in the
local papers, we Immediately food the
territory with our literature 1t always
brings results far in excess Of the same
effort put forth in territory where the
local merchants use their town papers,

SEVEN BILLS
That Can Very Well Be Left Out O
the State Statutes

1it NsiIl very "cii DC Leit out OI
the State Statutes
The people of Colorado will have the
privilege OF adopting or rejecting seven
measures at the coming election. Four
years ago they passed on thirty-two.
Two years ago they passed on sixteen.
This year only seven are present. which
indicates that the initiative and referen-
dunn is getting to be an old thing.
The first bill on the ballot will be the
medical bill. which is the usual fight be-
tween the different medical schools. The
second bill is one backed by Mayor Speer
and is known as the insane asylum bill.
The third bill is also backed by Mayor
Speer and seeks to abolish the state tax
commission. The fourth bill is supported
by the Denver Post and is known as the
Herd law, relating to the running of
cattle on the range. The fifth bill is also
supported by the Denver Post and pro-
vides for the loaning by the state of the
state school fund on farm land.
The sixth bill was initiated by the
brewers and seeks to change the con-
stitution SO that beer can be manufact-
ured in the state for sale to home con-
sumers only. The seventh bill is fathered
by the state civil service association and
is proposed constitutional amendment
which seeks to place all employees with
the exception of one appointed private
secretary for each elective officer under
civil service.
The cost of publishing the proposed
amendments will be about $4,000.

MILLICENT USTICK

The people of this community were
shocked to hear of the death of Millicent
Ustick-second daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. C. M. Ustick-early on Wednesday
morning, after an illness lasting only
few days.
She had attended every morning ses-
sion of the chautauqua until Thursday
when to her great sorrow she was un-
able to fill her place in the children's
program. She was receiving the serum
treatment for typhoid, but was not be-
lieved to be seriously i'll until few
hours before her demise, when the
fatal malady could not be checked.
Millicent was born in Cripple Greek
thirteen years ago the 18th of Septem-
ber and came here with her parents
about three years ago. She was most
attractive and lovable girl who excelled
in both her school studies and in music.
The sympathy of everyone goes out to
her bereaved parents and to Dorothy,
her elder sister and inseparable COM
panion.
Funeral services will be conducted in
the funeral home this afternoon, DIR.
