Public Service
Some people believe that advertising merely takes Dus
ness away and hands it to his competitor
They think that everybody stopped advertising business
would 90 Just the same and things would pc cheaper
1t sounds plausible. But it IS not true
Advertising is Of course much used as competitive
weapon and very powerful one. Any method OF selling
advertising show windows clerks travelling men, gets bs
ness thout the selling effort would have gone to some
othef herr
Most Of us believe that competition IS good thing
keeps down prices keeps up quality It makes business
men more eager to give the public good service Any
noncal method of competition ought therefore to be re-
qarled as of benefit to the public
And the economy of truthful advertising purely
neve method has been clearly demonstrated in many
great industries period OF years
The main question however is: What does advertising
n do besides stimulate competition!
Advertising IS like the railroad the trolley the telephone,

wider and quicker dissemination Of information It brings
within our ken things that never knew existed or never

A proposition for a big good roads
convention and demonstration to be
held some time during the session of

good roads meeting at the Com
mercial club this noon. The conven-
ton would probably be a two days
affair and would secure the attend

state. A program of good roads legis-
lation would be settled upon by the
convention and a delegation named to
present it to the legislature
The plan as preached by ]. Will
Kelley, secretary of the Commercial
club, contemplates d big demonstration
parade which would awaken the
solons of the Legislature to the demand
for better highways in Kansas and
spur on some prompt legislation
The convention would be under the
auspices of the Kansas Good Roads
association and the 1855 days a year

The profile survey and the cost of
grading on the proposed Dover and
Auburn highway which was made by
V. r. Parkhurst was submitted at the
meeting this noon. Parkhurst's sur

cause of Villas renewed activities.
Another story is that the commission
will suggest a withdrawal as soon as
possible, but that Washington will not
aenuiesce in this plan Immediately,
tho the troops ultimately will be re-
called.
The commission held no formal ses-
sion today. Both American and Next

movements of the Villistas, fearing the
possible effects of new Villa raids on

the Russians in Persia. The Turks,
after occupying Hamadan, advanced
sixty or seventy miles northward in

On Tuesday our combative field
forces consisting of H. Hill, city fumi-

enemy resorted to attacks en- masse,
our forces, for strategic reasons,
withdrew.
General Hill approached the posi-
ton of the fleas in the cellar from
the kitchen stairway. He found every
crevice in the cellar fully occupied by
the enemy which used pile of last
winters ashes as Il base. No sooner
had he entered than the attack began.
One division. several million strong,
charged en- masse from the front. An
other division unanswered to the rear

while two other branches of the forces
took up side-flanking positions.
Summarized and attacked from
land and air, our commander resort
ed to the use of poison gas to cover
his advance. Formaldehyde fumiga-
tion apparatus was established at
strategic points with terrible effect.
However. reserves from the ash pile

DON'T GET THE FEVER
Quails Cannot Be Shot Until One Year
From This Month

Frequent inquiries are being made
at the office of the county clerk about
the opening of the quail season. Many
sportsmen believe it opens this month.
Oscar Swayze, county clerk, stated to-
day. as he is telling all persons who
make inquiries, that the season does
not open until year from this
month. That is the Interpretation
placed upon the law by the state fish
and game warden.
The legislature of 1909 enacted
law prohibiting the killing of quail in
Kansas for six years. The legislature
CT 1911 amended the law to five
years. The state fish and game
warden holds that the five year
period begins with the enactment of
the amended law in 1911.
