Montana Man Was After Dog to Whip
 All Challengers

Fulton, Mo, Dec. 299.-A certain resident Of a Montana town was looking for a bulldog and he want ed one that could fight, so he wrote to J. Roy Tucker of Fulton a dealer in that very kind. Tuck CT priced his dags all tn eway from $25 to$50 and told the Mor,- tan 8 man that one at the latter price would be guaranteed to whip any canine pu5ag2inst him. That seemed to be the very one the stranger wanted, so lie sent $50 and $14 to cover expre ss charges and directed that he be sent at once.
 4 little later Tucker received word that the dog had cheWed off an ear of a bird dog that had been gallivanting around the home of the bulldog, and that another bull, from across the way, who had egsayed to take issue with the Fulton purp, had been sent to dog heaven.
 The new owner learned that the bulldog was too vicious for his surroundings and decided to send him back to Tucker with instruc- tions to have someone take care of him. Again it cost $14 to get lia2 back to Fulton, The dog arrived here in due time and had had just gotten accustomed to his old sur roundings again, when his owner fired back the following telegram: ::
 Express me back my bulldog. My neighbor has bought new dog"
 It had not yet been learned just what the result proved to be but Tusker says he is willing to back the dog from Fulton to the limit.

Press, "all that remains to enable us to get firmly on our feet i5 for the world to give our money something like an equal show in all markets" French observers regard it as extremely important Durvhasa raw materials on an equitable basis. They say this is shown by thhe fact that before the war three-fifths of her eX- ported goods were manufactured objects and that, this proportion must be increased in the future to make up for the loss of the market for wines and spirits in Russian and America which for merly constituted the important share of the total of French ex-
 Revenue from tourists which was a potent aid toward main- taining the equilibrium of the franc until the war has not yet given the expected help.

ADVERTISING COMMENT
(BY J. w. ANDREW)

Con,netition to secure national, as
 well as local markets has become so
 keen that individual business 1lrms
 are eagerly searching for new meIa- ods by which to DOMINATE the
 attention of the public-and to DOMl- NATE it FIRST; searching. TOT
 methods that will give more lnten-
 sive sales results that can be obtain ed by any usual form of advertising
 This method has been found and
 is being used intensively-lt Is
 NEWSPAPER advertising.
 As is invariably the case, the new
 method, says William H. Rankin,
 president, Wm. H. Rankin company, New York, N. Y, was found not only
 to be acceptable as a substitute tor the old methods but to have certain SJPERIORITIES over the old.
 The ability of national newspaper advertising, as we'll as local advertls.
 ing, to create large volumn national and local sales has already beer demonstrated. Many MILLIONS DOLLARS have already been spent for the United States government In this way is being spent today, help ing to bring to the government BlL- LIONS of dollars in return. Millions , more have been spent in this sort of advertising by commercial firms, and the results they have obtained have been highly remunerative. The thing newspaper advertising-has beer tried out thoroughly. It WORKS
 every time, and the larger space em- ployed, the larger the percentage of results. Large space has been prov en absolutely an investment, not an expense if ordinary care ande judg-
 ment has been exercised in the pre-
 paration fthe "copy" that enters into that space.

Subscription Rates
NO PROTEST HERE.

The average man will fail to see where the fact that the big five pack CTS went into score of lines of busi- ness, producing hundreds of articles for the table, for wear and for gen eral usefulness can be used as an argument against them.
 There is enough against the pack CTS without attempting to make |" case of this situation, for as long as the buyer gets what he wants at reasonable prices, he doesn't care who sells it to him.
 It is charged the packers made "traveling groceries" out of refrlg~ orator cars; manufactured tennis racquets because they had large supply of "catgut," and made and sold soda fountains in order to pro- mote their beef tea business.
 The consumer isn't worried about this. If the packers can sell hlm tennis racquet or cup of beef tea or soap or groceries at reasonable charge, he is satisfied. He would as soon buy from them as from anyone else.
 The price, the quantity and the quality are the things that annoy the consumer.
 His grievance against the packer Is that meats have been advanced at ar unjustifiable rate, that inferior quality has been sold and that there has been profiteering in other pack ers' products.

AN ACT OF JUSTICE.

The action of the city council III increasing the wages of Pine Bluff firemen and policemen Is something that should meet the approval of all the taxpayers.
 Years ago when living costs were less than half of what they are now the wages paid to these servants o1 the city were far too low. As prices increased their wages remained sta tionary until within the past few months when it was realized that some of these employees scarcely could exist on what they were paid.
 The heads of the two departments for years barely received more than s1OO a month for their services. At times this was subject to discount Bremen and policemen received con- siderably less than $1OO a month also often subject to discount.
 Generally speaking, Pine Bluff has an efficient fire department and al efficient police department. The work of firemen and policemen lS arduous and dangerous and they earned long time ago the wage III crease that was granted Monday.
