Advertising Space Costs Money.

Good goods bring fair prices,
poor articles are good for what
ever they. can get This is true of
advertising as of everything else
As rule low rates and large dis
counts are a sure indication of
small circulation Advertising
space in publications of good cir
culation represents a very heavy
outlay and cannot be offered at a
nominal price without loss. Pub.
fishers, like other business men,
do not do business for nothing,
neither are they in it for the
pieasureit affords. Hence they
they cannot afford to give adver
Using space for less than cost.
Low rates may be taken as a
positive proof of equally small
and comparatively 'talueless
circulation.
The business man who. has q
certain amount of money to spend
in advertising should bear this in
mind. In order to spend wisely
he needs choose well. 1t does
not follow by any means that
because he can get a space for
less money in one direction tn II
there is where he can get The
best advertising. On the contrary
it seldom happens so. This same
business man might pay half q
dollar for a dinner when be coult

for fifteen cents. if he cared to-
But there is a difference in the
dinner which is worth the other
thirty-fve cents. There is Jus,
as much differencein advertising,

Topeka several OF the leading baker
les do not make fiye-cent loayes any
more and a meeting of bakers has
been scheduled to determine whether
the five-cent loaf would be abolished
entirely or the price increased. In
Wichita it was reported that the bak-
ers are charging seven cents for the
usual fve-cent loaf, to which three
ounces has been added.
Within the last week the price Of
-four has advanced 40 cents a hundred
in the wholesale market, according to
millers here, the top price today
reaching $500 The retail price has
jumped 80 cents this week, making
the cost of a 4S.pound sack reach
$3.50.
Many of the leading bakers in the
state have inaugurated the 15-cent loaf
of bread, consisting of 33 ounces, to
meet the exigences of the flour in
crease, reports received here show.

San Francisco, oct. 2o.-"Wear
yellow and bluff the mosquito is the
slogan of scientists who are fighting
this little pest and who have dis
covered the carnivorous insects anti
pathy to that primary color. Their
discoveries are supported by the tes-
timony of United States Marines, Just
returned here from the Philippines,
who attribute their immunity from
mosquito-bite and malarial infection
to the fact that their khaki uniforms
are of a yellow hue.
The wise summer vacationist of the

supply of yellow hosiery. still, some
pessimistic persons will be bound to

OLDEST CIRCUS CLOWN,
AGE 70. STILL ACTIVE.

OF the many groups of performers
who will delight the youngsters when
the Barnum 4 Bailey circus comes
to Ardmore on November o. none will
give greater JOY than the fifty clowns
the "Joeys,' as they are called in
circusdo These droll entertainers
who will make merry on the hippo
drome track include many old time
sawdust comedians who have clowned
all over the world Among them is
the daddy OF all clowns, Jerry Madi-
son, IS years old.
This merry old jester has been a
circus clown for 81 years. During
this time he has clowned in both
Continents and he has Travelled with
every famous circus in the world. He
has been court jester in his early
days and he boasts of being one of
the few men that ever brought
smile to the face of the lake King
Leopold of Belgium. He was great
favorite of p T. Barnum, who once
declared that Madison was the funni-
est sawdust entertainer that he had
ever had in his employ, Madison is
still as young in action and spirits
as the youngest clown in the Barnum
& Bailey show is in years.
It is difficult to conceive of a
clown taking anything seriously yet
these testers of the sawdust arena
enter into the preliminary prepara-
tions for one of their feature acts
with as much soberness Of intent as
would be in evidence at a rehearsal
of Shakesperian drama. The greatest
attention is given to detail of cos
tune and pantomime, for, back of the
apparent tomfoolery of the hippo
drome is a long series of carefully
enacted rehearsals.
1t is doubtful if there is any other
travelling amusement enterprise that
has as many world-famous clowns as
the Barnum & Bailey show is featur-
ing this season. Most of them have
made clowning their life work and
have grown gray under the white
tops of the circus A veritable furore
of fun is furnished by this army OF
comedians. who are at work on the
track throughout virtually the entire
performance.
Jerry Madison, Dean Of Clowns.
The clowns. however do not furnish
all of the comedy on the Barnum Il
Bailey program this season, for many
of the riding and acrobatic numbers
are also screamingly funny. Signor
Baghongi, the funniest dwarf rider
that the world has ever seen, Is one
of the many amusing novelties that
that will be seen here for the first
time. The spectacular feature that
the circus is offering this season IS
persia, or the Pageants of the
Thousand and One Nights a stupen-
duous. new. Oriental display.

Across The New York Footlights
By GEORGE JEAN NATHAN.

SIlls Is a wooden secretary; Hayward
CHM, the Wakefield: James Seeley a
quizzical railroad president: Jay Wilson
a comedy relief broker. or the ladies,
Katherine Emmett is the only one who
reads her lines with any degree Of cjn-
yiction and manner. AS the younger
daughter Edith Luckett is quite bad and,
as the sister of Summerield. Louise Gall
loway Is even more so. The turning stage
Is used to a nice effect In the quick
manipulation of the two scenes in the
final act, though 1t were advisable to de-
wise some way Of diminishing the noise
attendant to its maneuvering; a bit Of
musk by the orchestra might, mayhap,
do the trick.
In conclusion, Robert II. Davis-if he
will accept the humble suggestion of one
who Is at once critic and friend-should
quickly bring himself to prevail upon his
collaboration to extract from ANY House"
a considerable measure OF its present
uplifting marmalades. There is some
good-some very good-materlal in the
manuscript. But this good material is
currently washed out of sight by the
tides OF chaTlsskleinism. Robert Davis
is a man Of amazing fecund mind. He
supplies three-quarters Of the plots for
all the stories and novelties printed in
all the brochures issued by the Munsey
folk. And he has been supplying them
for the last dozen years or more. He hes
furnished plots not only for thousands of
magazine writers, but also for his own
use In a play or two, a half dozen vaude-
Vile sketches, several motion pictures
and a stack OF novels. 1t is, therefore.
mconceivable that the fellow will not
some day supply the stage with a smash
ing thematlc idea. But IL Mr.. Davis does
not write the play himself, let US urge
him by all means to seek out a collabora-
tor who shall present the idea with a
tonic dose Of honesty and sincerity, side
stepping vsllsntly all the sentimental
ties, all the petty trickeries Of the Broad
way masque-mosques.
