ADVERTISING PRICES

Some local people sent to the Chi
cago Tribune to get their advertising
prices for quarter page and a half
page advertisement space. The reply
indicated that the Tribune rates were
$500 for the quarter page and ex-
actly twice that sum, 5000, for a
half page space. On the same basis
the full page ad would cost $1,000
and the double page ads used by a
few Of the Chicago stores would cost
approximately $4,000, for each and
every issue of the paper. Wish we
could get few page ads at that
price,

DUB THEE SIR LON

Once upon a time" an English
king was eating beer at dinner. The
piece Of beef was so juicy and tender
that the king hit 1t lightly with the
blade of his sword, Just &C they
used to do when they made a man a
knight, and said. II dub thee Sir
Loin." The-king you see was in a
great good humor, and everybody
was amused at his pleasantly. And
ever since then that special part Of
