Your great-grandfather may
have driven the fastest horse in
the country and paid a tidy sum
for it. But the price Of a stable of

to multiply opportunities and in

Every merchant, every manu-

materially reduces selling costs
by increasing the demand for and
the distribution of the products
Of hundreds of thousands of mills.
Indeed many of the things we
count today as necessities or SIM
pie luxuries could not be made
and sold at their reasonable
prices except as advertising has
created a broad market for them,
making millions of sales at little
prices and little profits.
And so you owe very much to
advertising. You owe much to
the people of yesterday who have
read and been influenced by past
advertising and so have made
possible the economies and va

merchandise that you enjoy.
You owe present advertising a

NEGRO MINISTRIES
 ARE FAR THE BEST

The colored minstrelsy evolved from the colored race. The negro if he can be restrained from becoming self-con- scious makes the best minstrel man. Any person is sure of a good laugh if they can but be around a group of negroes 90 minutes without the latter knowing they are near because the col ored man is then perfectly natural.
 There have been maHy colored min strel organizations which were unsat- lsfactory in their entertainment be- cause the colored performers were self conscious and did not act natural. R. M. Harvey, a well known circus man undertook the task of assembling company of clever colored people who are not poSers, who were capable of always remaining natural-even on the stage.
 Harvey's Greater Minstrels billed for the American theater for five days starting matinee Wednesday, April g. is headed by Ed. Tolliver and Mrs, Clarence Powell, both natural come dians and do their best to create a furore of amusement and laughter at every performance
 Travelling in their own S6-foot car, this company of 40 colored artists are playing in the principal cities and towns of the state and judging from press comments and verbal criticisms heard. Harvey's Greater Minstrels is more than making good. All seats re- served for this production. Seats now selling.

Surprise at Eiks Next Week

The Del s. Lawrence company'S Su- perb performance of Pierre of the Plains at the Elks theater is proving a double attraction this week, inas- much as the coling atmosphere of this charming North woods romance makes one feel that he is right in those cold north winds and wild open country And, besides, there is the new cooling system which las been installed in the ElkS theater, making it the very cool est spot in town, as those who have enjoyed this weeks performance can testify.
 Pierre" is on of the finest bits of character acting in the hands of Mr. Lawrence that has been seen here in many moons, and has added many more friends to that sterling actors al ready long list of admirers.
 Miss Wilma Steck IS also winning new laurels in her clever handling of 'Jen, the only white girl in this wiio country comedy drama.
 The supporting cast is, as always with the Lawrence company, all that could be desired, and a smoother or more evenly balanced performance would be harder to imagine.
 A real big surprise to the Lawrence patrons is coming next Monday when they will present ''Yon Yonson," the great Swedish comedy. It is a classic of its kind, and interpolated with new musical specialties should prove the banner week of the Lawrence con- pany's engagement here.

 The contest in which two ponies will be given to the boy and girl, respect ively, who send in the largest sub scriptions to the endowment fund for a free child's bed at the hospital, is open to all children in the state.

Each child planning to enter the contest should first enter the contest by sending his or her name, with a stamped envelope to Mrs. Irvine. Of ficial subscription blanks will then be mailed. Without receiving the official blank, no child will be considered who sends in a subscription without first receiving an official blank.
