A crash Of glass in taxicab fol-
lowed by two former soldiers falling
out OF the vehicle attracted the atten =
ton of an employe at the North Phila b

Adams, of Phoenixville, Pa. Both men
fought with the Twenty eighth Division

Mayor Smith and Director Twining

for years folks have struggled to explain to other
toiks the wonderful power of Advertising
Comparisons with electricity Niagara Falls and
transatlantic flights frequent and certainly the
explanations would seem to add mystery to the
power.
Perhaps the difficulty of definition lies in the fact
that advertising is so simple and so neutral.
For example if du Pont offered million Cadllacs
at the price Of Ford, 'the power of advertising"
this fact would probably be said to be stupendous
But, ii with the identical advertising expend
ture, million Fords offered at the price of
Cadillac, that particular application of "the power
OF Advertising would certainly be termed an adver-
, tising failure.
The two campaigns could be alike as two peas
and yet the results diarnetrically opposite.
Advertising is message addressed to MANY per
sons about goods ideas service.
Do not confound the message and the method Of
its transmission.
The only power of advertising" is the power Of
the message it transmits.

Real Estate Licenses.

Because the real estate business so
closely effects the development and
the welfare of its residents, the peo-
pie of Wisconsin have declared that
real estate brokers and statesmen shall
obtain licenses and be regulated in
their transactions, with the public
through the Real Estate Brokers
Board, created by action of the legis-
iature.
Consequently, as provided by law
all real estate brokers and all real es-
tate statesmen are required to fur
nish the board with credentials es-
tablishing trustworthiness and COM
potency. After January 1st, 1920, no
real estate broker or real estate sales
man can do business in Wisconsin
without a license.
Application blanks may be obtained
by addressing the Real Estate Brok-
ers Board at Madison. Separate
licenses are required for brokers and
statesmen. The fee for a brokers
license is SIG and the fee for a sales
mans license is So. The work of this
board is supported by fees and not by
taxation.

wondering meanwhile who, and
what, and where their mammas were,
or, if like ''Topsy" they had simply

and began TO remove their outer
wraps, one by one, strangely familiar
features were revealed until tie en-
tire membership of the Inter Sc
stood before her and extended con-
gratulations upon it's being her
birthday that they were going to
celebrate and which they then did,
concluding with refreshments suit
ed to the occasion and leaving sew

WINCHESTER PLANS
HOMECOMING DEC. 80
Turtle Lake Lumber Com
pany Making Big Prepar-
atoms for Winchester
Service Men.

Winchester, the Industrious town
on the west side Of Villas county, is
planning big homecoming celebra-
tion for their men who served the
colors. The date has been set for
December Both, Preparations are be-
ing made by the Tuftle Lake Lum-
Der Company Of that place to stage a
celebration in keeping with the spirit
of Winchester citizens towards their
men in service. 1t had been planned
to hold this homecoming party at an
earlier date, but on further consider
alton it was agreed to wait until all
the men had returned from service
SO that all could share in the official
welcome home The last man to re-
turn was Carl G. Hanson, who had
been on duty--on one of The mine
sweepers in the North Sea. This
Suicide Squad has completed it's
work and the men have been return
ed to their homes. This completes
Winchester's list of those who served
and the homecoming party has been
set for the above date.
According to present arrangements
there will be speakers from Ashland
and elsewhere, and the days program
will include a banquet and later in
the evening a big dance at the Com
pany hall. The beautiful new COM
munity hall, which the company is
building for it's employees, is not
quite completed, otherwise the BAN
quet would be held there. The day
will be a general holiday. All oper-
ations at the mill will be shut down,
the town will be decorated for the
occasion and everyone will participate
in the welcome home to the men who
answered their country's CALL Prac-
tically all the expense Of this big
event will be borne by the Turtle
Lake Lumber Company.
Winchester can we'll be proud Of it's
service to the nation during the try
ing times of the World War. It gave
splendidly in men and money and
every campaign of war activity was
backed up by every one of its citizens.
1t is appropriate that the final chap
ter of it's war history should be'closed
with such an event as is planned for
the Homecoming, December Both.

WILSON
IN PROCLAMATION
Regarding Fourteenth De-
cennial Census to Start
Jan. 2-All Replies
in Confidence.

Whereas, by the Actof Congress APP
proved March 3, 1910, the Fourteenth
Decennial Census of the United
States is to be taken beginning on
the second day of January, 1920; and
Whereas, correct enumeration Of
the population every ten years is re-
quired by the Constitution of the
United States for the purpose of de-
termining the representation of the
several States in the House of Repre-
Sentatives; and
Whereas, it is of the utmost i'm
portance to the interests of all the
people of the United States that this
Census should be a complete and &C
curate report of the population and
resources of the Nation;
Now, therefore, /, Woodrow Wilson
President of the United States of
America, do hereby declare and make
known that, under the law aforesaid,
it is the duty of every person to ans
wer all questions on the census SEIZED
ules applying to him and the family
to which he belongs, and to the farm
occupied by him or his family, and
that any person refusing to do so is
subject to penalty.
The sole purpose of the Census is
to secure general statistical informa-
tion regarding the population and re-
sources of the country and replies
are required from individuals only to
permit the compilation of such gener-
al statistics. No person can be harmed
in any way by furnishing the inform
alton required The Census has
nothing to do with taxation, with
military or jury service, with the
compulSion of school attendance,
with the regulation of immigration
or with the enforcement of any
national, state or local law or ordin-
ance. There need be no fear that
any disclosure will be made regarding
any individual or his affairs. For the
due protection of the rights and in
terests of the persons furnishing in
formation every employee Of the
Census Bureau is prohibited, under
heavy penalty, from disclosing any in
formation which may thus come to
his knowledge.
therefore earnestly urge upon all
persons to answer promptly, COM
pletely and accurately all inquiries
addressed to them by the enumera-
tors or other employees of the Census
Bureau and thereby to contribute
their share toward making this great
and necessary public undertaking a
success.
In witness whereof / have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.

''The state potato show was held in

due to bad luck, we did not make as
good showing as we expected.
Over 40 per cent OF our potatoes froze

they could not make the appearance
they otherwise would have made.

it has ever been. This can be readily
