Mr.. Advertiser

Advertising is of value, both
to the advertiser and to the
reader, only when it is done
properly. Proper advertising
means following certain rules
that are based upon the working
of human nature. The execution
of these rules aim to attract the
attention of the reader to the ad,
interest him in its contents, and
make him read it through before
passing on. Such an ad must be
written terSely so that the idea
in it is conveyed, clearly and de-
finitely, in the shortest time
possible.
Plenty Of white space in an ad
is just as important as are fewer
short, good sentences. The value
Of white space to the ad is so
inherent that its merit is hard to
realize, but it's worth is unques-
tionable.
The display of the advertised
goods at the window should 20
hand in hand with newspaper
advertising. The window mus
not be filled, crammed jam full,
with all sorts of goods found in
the store. Nothing, but the
advertised material should appear
there. These must be fewer in
number and should be arranged
attractively. This will help in
crease the sale.
The window display and the
newspaper advertising are only
reminders to the busy public
that merchandise of value are
being offered at fair or cut prices.
When a customer comes into
your store then call his or her
attention to the other useful
things which you offer for sale,
This may be done either by
proper arrangement Of the goods
so that the eye may "catch"
them instantly, or simply inform
ing the customers of the presence
of the goods which you wish to
ell. >".. s
No campaign of advertising
and no amount of enticing will
make one q permanent patron
izer of a store unless the truth is
told about the advertised goods
and the customer is treated
courteously and kindly. These
will reinforce the mission Of the
written words and bring greater
results to yOu-Mr. Advertiser.

In Bone Dry Days.

was Baxter's loss was Joplin's
gain. For a whole week the
eople not only went to Joplin
for their beer, but even for their
Adams ale Bone dry to the
core and nothing less than that
could have given an adequate
description OF the peculiar predi-
cament which was forced upon
the people Of the city.
All those who went to Joplin
last week, however, did not 60
there for a drink of water nor
for a taste of liquor. Many of
them took this trip-l8 miles
to take just a plain bath. All
that week. hardly a washed cloth
was seen hangingfrom the clothes
lines in this city and even child
rem were kept out of school.
1--WE haint got no water to
wash my face and shirt with,
explained a little boy to the
writer, land ! have to stay out
of school," This was only one
case that was explained during a
friendly conversation with a lad.
Who knows how many other
mothers were unable to provide
clean clothes to their children,
either because there was no
water to wash them with or they
were too poor to buy new ones?
People were too busy providing
water for drinking and cooking
purposes and for watering
horses and other animals. The
wells that were thought to belong
to Baxter Springs of long ago,
all at once, came into great de-
mands. Even the well at the
corner of River and Military Sts.,
which were fenced in and eyi-
IDENTIFY kept as a relic, became in
use and the water, pumped from
them, quenched the thirst of
many horses.
Fathers and mothers, brothers
and sisters, uncles and aunts,
cousins and friends, sweethearts
and bitterhearts, teams and auto
mobiles, all carted water day
after day from morning till night.
Big cans and small cans, fat cans
and lean cans, tall cans and short
cans, old cans and new cans,
tomato cans and corn cans, apple
cans and peach cans, and all cans
were kept busy in carrying water
but the people did not can all
the water they wished they might
can.
Then one day the heavens
opened and the rain poured in
torrents. The alert and busy
housewives filled the kettles and
pans, wash tubs and jugs, barrels
and cisterns, full of rain water
and yet the need was not met is
shown by the fact that one man
put an inch of water in the wash
basin and tried to take a "bath."

Mountain Grove, Mo-, Capital.
ist Makes Big Deal-Will
Locate in Baxter.

c. M. Mitchell, a Mountain
Grove, Mo-, capitalist, returned
home Monday night after having
spent ten days In this section
looking after his mining and 9TH
er interests here. He has become
greatly impressed with Baxter's
future possibilities; so much so
in fact that he is planning to
erect a substantial home here in
the early part Of next year.
Mr.. Mitchell has become quite
extensively interested in the Ok
lahoma-Kansas zinc fields during
the past couple Of months. One
day last week he and his asSoci-
ates, also of Mountain Grove,
sold a 160-acre lease on the Mill
er farm north of Blue Mound for
$4,000 and an advance royalty
to Tulsa parties.
Monday Of last week Mr..
Mitchell disposed of an individ-
ual lease on a 40-acre tract to
Great Bend, Kan. investors for
$4,000. He still retains other
leases in the field, however, on
which he will begin drilling this
week. These include q 40-acre
tract on what is known as the A.
H. Hahn farm, and is the south
west quarter Of the northwest
quarter of section IL, and on the
Kansas side.
Mr.. Mitchell expects soon to.
be actively engaged in business
in Baxter Springs if his present
plans mature. He is q wide
awake business man, and has
been among the leaders who put
Mountain Grove on the Mis-
souri, map during the past few
years, and has very ably served
that town two terms as mayor.

Ore was encountered at a depth
of 100 feet. This ore bids fair tc
be as well as the other one which
is claimed to be the best strike

was in ore FIVE feet. \
It will be remembered that the
strike which was made on this
land a few weeks ago was not
only claimed to be the best strike
ever made in this vicinity, but
that it was the first hole in
Kansas, and that it was only q
mile from the Baxter city limits
Another thing pointed out about
this ore was that it was shallow.
The strike made on W. T.

just west Of Hunter place
promises to be good. The ore
was encountered at a depth Of

was still in the ore. This hole is
