SONG OF THE STAL.
WART

(By Grantland Rice.)
deaths;
Whether it's Heaven--or whether it's
He'll
Or whether it's merely Sleep;
Or whether it's something in between
Where ghosts of the half gods creep;
Since it comes but once-and it comes
On the one fixed certain date
Why drink of the dregs till the Cur
arrives
On the gray day set by Fate?
The coward looks to the gray beyond
And his heart grows white with fear;
The dark is deep that he may not see
AS the end of the game draws near;
But the valiant turns to Il newer road
That leads through the out bound
gates.
Where each drab soul of the realm
must fare
And the Great Adventure waits.
One by one till the line is passed
The gutter born and the crown;
SO what is a day or n year Or two
Since the answers written down?
What is a day to a million years.
When the last winds sound the call?
SO here's to the days that rest be-
tween
And here's to the last of all!

MISUNDERSTANDING MISSOURI.

Now that We have not been kept out
of war, it is inconceivable that the
patriotic voters Of Missouri can be so
blind to the interests of the nation and
to their own position in the eyes of
their fellow citizens that they will con-
sent to see their state so misrepre-
scented by Messrs. Stone. Reed and
Clark. The opportunity to deal with
the last named will come next year
The others must submit to the test at
the two succeeding elections. Missouri
is good praying ground for patriots
just now-and Stone, Reed and Clark

For sorne time we were at loss
for n reply to one Of Missoula's CLUB
that the men who are yelling for econ
omy should begin by cutting off all
forms of tobacco. Then We remem-
bered that 1t would never do because
thousands OF employees in the toba eco
factories would be thrown out OF worl,
and left idle in the streets.
p. s.: We believe this argument has
also been made with reference to the
inordinatc use of alcoholic liquors.

The Roman army was divided into

Each was under six tribunal or 'chief

The legion was subdivided into ten CO.

trade. newspaper results crown the
list.
Advertising helps store render
better service in many ways.
The delivery of goods, such as ex-
lists in cities, would be practically i'm
possible except that a store, through
advertising. makes many sales in
every section every day. It's wagons
stop at many places on a given street
or in a certain section of the city. If
it We're not for that. deliveries would
be prohibitve IN cost
Advertising Helps salespeople.
Advertising helps the sales force. A
salesperson, because the customer be-
lieves in the store. sells more goods
in day. The customer knows the
store could not afford to risk it's repu-
tation by selling poor goods.
The store that advertises has no
fear that it cannot move it's stocks.
and so 1t always has fresh stocks. The
public soon learns this, and this helps
business.
Because the store which advertises
with skin and persistence is able to
son, 1t suffers fewer losses from being
overstocked with goods at the end of
a season. This means a great reduce
ton in the cost of distribution-in the
cost of getting the goods to the public.
At first blush, it might seem that
when store sells something below
cost. the public gains. but Of course
that is not exactly true. for if a, store
had many such losses, they would have
to be figured into the gross profits, or
the mark up on the goods, so the
losses would be cared for in higher
prices all through the establishment.
The store that advertises as It should.
however. has few such loses, as COM
pared with the whole volume Of it's
sales.
Advertising Keeps Prices Down.
1t has seemed to me that one of the
most convincing proofs that advertis-
ing does lower the cost of distribution,
or selling. Is in tho fact that II the
advertising store did not make its ad-
vertising pay its own way and a little
more, there would soon be great stores
rise on the chief corners of our cities
and force the advertising stores to the
wall. If advertising added to the cost
of doing business. II would add 10 the
price the peopl" must pay for goods.
and they would be quick to discover
that they could do better at stores
which did not advrrtise-and everyone
knows that this is not true.
These are some OF the reasons why
! believe that the slogan for the con-
Nention of advertising men, In st.
Louis. June to 7. is appropriate. and
why look forward with such pleasure
to attending these sessions. when bust
ness men will put force and power
back OF that slogan, and advertising
will take another great step forward,

ALL-STARS VICTORIOUS

PAYNE Payne ran from The half way
line. and his center was met by Steele,
who shot just outside the post,
The All-StarS Swarmed around the
Selects goal, and Reyes saved time
after time from every one Of the for
wards, one save from steele and
another from Lavender being cNcep-
tionally brilliant. Mackin also was
playing a sterling game. and Moore
was getting in some good work. but
Payne Put on the third and last goal
Of the game from scrimmagc.
The Selects occa sionally broke away,
but each time they were brought MP

Of whom were playing grand games.
The half backs looked 70 he the shin

exception Of Payne.
Thornton once brought M Lord with
a neat piece Of work and sent the ball
we'll up the field. Allan received and
tested Reyes, but the All-Stars vs..

have his first shot TO deal with. This
was a slow roller, which he picked up
and kickcd away. y little later he had
to wake up from his sleep Of the at
ternoon. and saved n dandy from Lord.
This was all he had to do all through
the game, with the exception of taking
Soal-kicks.
The game ended with the All-Siars
winners by three goals TO ncpc.
The features of the game were the

work OF Payne keyes in goal was
magnificent. and il was only he who
stood between the AllStars and a pig
score. For the Selects the half backs
were all very good, Cristic saving sew
cral breakaways. The work Of Wall
and o'Lcary was good at all times
Walls's especially being fine. and he
probably was the best Of the team.
Lord and Dixon were the pick or the
forwards. Dixon tried to do too mach
and had he passed the ball sooner on
several occasions. goal might have
resulted.
For the All-Stars Day was in the
role OF spectator, for he only han
died tho ball twice during the game
which proves how strong was the dc .
fcnsc in front Of him. Summers and
Thornton were good, once they settled
down. but, az a line the half backs
wcro supreme. Grundy. Draper and
Eel were brilliant. and broke up any
thing started by the opposition.
The forwards were rather disap-
pointing as a whole. with the exception
of Payne. Payne was in n class by
himself. His work was superb. and
his brilliant runs and ccntcrs were
an outstanding feature of tho game.
Had his work been taken advantage CT
as II should have been. heavy scorc
should have resulted. He used his
speed and weight to good advantage.
Payne was ably supported by Lavcn-
der, who fed him at all times but Law
cndnr was OF In shooting, as also was
Allan. Allan had several good chances
to score. but either waited too long
