Come now every mothers son
And rally round Old Glory,
Wen put Mex bandits on the run
And make things Hunky-dory.
Old Mexico has got in bad,
She's slapped your Uncle Sammy,
Our Uncle Samuel now is mad,
And he'll sure get her Nanny.

Now Mexico has many sons,
They're birds all of feather,
One day they cut each others throats,
And next day get together.

Discussion Came up Last Night
as to Whether Members
Should Abide by
Decision.
AN EXPERIENCE IS TOLD
Advertising on Screen at Side
of Motion Picture Stage,
Said to be Poor
Advertising.

The question Of what constitutes
good advertising. and whether or not
the league members should stand on
the decision Of the advertising COM
mfttee in spite of any personal views
that they might have regarding adj
yertising, was brought out last night
at the meeting Of the Retailers league
and was the subject Of an hours dis
cussion- The majority of the members
favored standing by the advertising
or secret committee. and many of the
league members expressed their opin-
ion that newspaper advertising was
the best form to use.
The storm broke over the annuonce-
ment that eleven of the league mem
bers had taken space on an advertis-
ing screen which was placed at the
side OF the stage in one of the local
motion picture theatres. This adver-
Using seemed to have been solicited
under various rates, and In spite Of
the fact that the secret committee had
turned it down. One of the league
members frankly declared that he had
promised to take space if the commit
tee said it was alright He said he
was told a few days later by the adj
vertising solicitor, that it was alright
with the committee, and he took the
space without asking for the letter or
credentials from the committee.
It was stated at the meeting last
night that the agent who was selling
this form of advertising for the thea
tire screen is reported to have said
that he was glad to get out of town."
that he considered this form d.
poor advertising"
Like Bundle Of Fagots.
John Rovane said that the discus
sion reminded him of story of the
man who had several sons and who
gave them bundle OF fagots and told
them to break them. They all tried
but found it impossible. Then the
father took the bundle and broke the
sticks one by one. You see," he said,
.as long as you stand together, no one
can harm you" Mr.. Rovane thought
the secret committee was the bundle
OF fagots for the league and that the
members should stand together behind
this committee.
Jacob Schouten said that the league

With camps at seven different
points and an expected enrolment OF
10000 men, the "Plattsbulg idea"
will loom large in national affairs
this year. The "Plattsburg idea" Is
plain plan for military training OF
Americans. 1t does not advocate
militarism. 1t is simply a plan TO
give young men four or FIVE weeks
Of healthy, outdoor life and military
training in the field under regular
army officers and with regular army
troops.
The original Plattsburg camps
will continue on Lake Champlain,
where the first one will open June
and continue until July 2. Four
other camps will follow there in sue
ression, lasting until October 8. The
frst camp, this year, will be at Fort
oglethorpe, Ga, from April . TO
April 30. The camp at Monterey,
Cal, will begin early in July. Other
camps will be held at Fort Sheridan,

clared
Newspapers are Best.

One of the members said that the
theatre advertising scheme was no
good to him. He had to tell the peo-
pie something, and that the best place
to tell them was in the newspapers.
Another member declared that the
amount OF money which was spent by
each retailer who went into the thea
tire card idea would have paid the adj
vertising bill in the newspaper for one
insertion for several months
Another member declared that he
considered newspaper advertising the
best sort Of advertising. He said the

did this"
The league members we're in gale
of laughter at this honest confession.
They considered that this young man
had been sufficiently punished for not
demanding the letter from the COM
mtttee giving the solicitor credentials.
The Insurgent Wing.
Two OF the members led an insur-
gent wing against the activities Of the
secret committee. They considered
that they should be given privilege of
advertising in whatever they saw fit,
regardless of the secret committees
ruling. One uf these men said he would
have to keep his name before the pub
lie. The other said that what was
good for the other fellows business
was not good for his. They wanted
the different forms OF advertising
brought UP and voted on. This would
be impossible to do, other members
said, and they wanted to abide by
the judgment of the secret committee

damental features of the organization.

it was said, and the majority of the
members seemed to favor abiding by
the rules of the majority.
The question of filming those who
violated the leagues agreement was
brought up, but nothing was done. The
directors will meet soon, and it is prob
able that this issue will be taken UP
at that time. The matter Of unexpired
advertising contracts on forms OF ad-
vertising under the ban was consider

Cost Merehants over 500.

Cost Merchants over $500.
1t is understood that over $500 was
taken out of town on @the theatre
screen advertisements. This amount
was spent on a card on which only
ones name appears, and behind which
there is an Illuminating arrangement.
While the screen is lighted at all times

bers that people went torsee the pic.
lures and not to look at the advertis-
ing screen.
There seemed to be a sliding scale,
also in the matter Of payments for
this advertising scheme. Some of the
merchants paid s35, others paid s25
and some paid SIS. In one case there
was a tentative agreement to take the
amount out in trade.
| All OF these things seemed to make
the majority of the leaguers believe as
the advertising solicitor that the ad-
yertising was poor and not worth any
where near as much as printers ink.
Eight to nine thousand homes are
served by the newspapers. 1t is fig
ured that an average of five persons
read the paper in each home. 1t is
easy to see the wide circulation of
newspaper advertising one OF tho
members said today.

BY standing vote 1t was decided
to have another Dollar day. 1t will be
pulled off in May. The league decid-
