HELD PRISONER BY MAD COW.

Barricaded In their home against
the assaults of mad COW attempt
ing to force an entrance, from
o'clock Thursday morning until day
Light, was the narrowing experience
Of Mrs. Greenfield and her 11-year.
old daughter Pearl. at Rock creek
All their strength was exerted to pre-.
vent the COW from battering down
the door. Their repeated calls for
help We're unheard. At daylight the
COW was found dead few feet from
the door.
Earlier In the night the COW had
been restless. Mrs. Greenfield and
children were awakened by the at
tempt of the cow to enter the house.
a bed was hastily placed against the
door. 1t was not a sufficient barri-
cade and the woman and her daugh-
ter We're forced to withstand with all
their strength the mad effort of the
animal to break in. Their frantic
cries for help could not be heard be-
cause the windows were closed and
they dared not leave the door to open
window.
After a time the animal left the
door, but the beleaguered family
waited in suspense until daylight,
fearing renewal of the attack.
The COW was the property Of the
Utah Construction company. A short |
time before it had been brought to
Rock creek from the Clarity ranch, |
in the foothills. The animal is sup
posed to have been afflicted with rab-
les resulting from the bite of rabid
animal while still on the Clarity
ranch.
The carcass was burned and the
spot at which it fell was burned over
to disinfect TWIN Falls News.

A POINTER ON ADVERTISING.
Showing the Inconsistency of Many
Retail Merchants.

The Emmitsburg (Md.) Chronicle
In recent editorial says
Some retail business men do not
advertise, and the best information
of what is on the market is gained
by the nonadvertising merchant
through the advertising of his whole
saler or jobber. Would 1t not occur
to the unbeliever, would this concrete
example not prove to him, that if the
wholesaler can increase his business
by reaching him (the retailer)
through advertising the retailer could
increase his sales by adopting the
same method?
Ten leading newspapers printed
| 81 ,S6S,700 lines of advertising in 1915.
The price received was s27,S60,610.
This amount was not spent with a
view to helping the newspapers. No
charitable motive was the incentive.
1t was an Investment for profit, as al
advertising is. :, Successful business
men, one and all, unhesitatingly &C
knowledge that their success was
built upon advertising. Their names
and their fortunes are monuments to
their business acumen-to the value
OF printers ink in commercial enter
prise.
What strange line of reasoning
leads the man who fails to advertise
his own business to advocate adver-
Using for other purposes? How often |
does he, having been made MEM |
Der of some church entertainment
committee or participator in al
benefit performance or chairman Of
a charitable or a civic movement
how very frequently does he, follow
ing his first thought, say, Put it in
the paper, advertise it well, let every-i
body know, and it will be a success;
we'll make money?
IF advertising is profitable to
other business men, if it is the great
est medium for attracting the popu-
ace, if civic measures and charitable
purposes are made successful there
~, where is the argument, where is
he reason why the nonadvertiser
hould not advertiser"
