Store News

There was time when it was thought advertising had to be printed in the newspapers mere ly because it helped to meet the payroll and not because anyone wanted to read it. When that thought f0urlshed, wYiters of advertising tried to disguise their messages to the people as reading matter and adopted startling catch" lines to get the people to read the adyel tlse ments. That tine has passed. The careful housewife now reads the advertisements with just as much interest as her son shows in the sport page or as her daughter shows in the society news. The ads are tiled with news for mother. They tell her where the bargains are They tell her where she can find the things she wants and what these things will cost her. She would be just as much disappointed should the ad of her fayorite store be left out as her son would should the box score of the home team game be dropped

 Governor Brough who has studied the question thoroughly asked the House, in an urgent message, to pass the bill Hon. Louis Josephs stated before the vote was taken. that he had spent weeks of careful research in Investigating the laws of oth- CT states and the best points in all of them applicable to Arkan sas before drawing the bill He said the bill Is modelled closely after the law of Ohio. a state not able tor it's equitable rates and comparative freedom from in cendiarism. He asserted that g states have fire marshal laws and that no state has ever re pealed such law after trying it.
