A young man started a small mems
city. He had a capital of $4,000, and
borrowed $4,000 more. He also had
ideas and nerve Before he opened
his door he had invested $1,000 in
newspaper advertising.
Today, 80 years later, he is reputed
to do the largest retail mems clothing
business of the world, aand his store
has nationwide reputation as a lead
er. In those thrty-two years he has
spent $1,000 900 in newspaper adver-
tising.
Speaking of the part newspaper ad-
vertising played in his success the 9th
er day, this man said:

Greatest Fighting Brigade In A. E. F.-Oklahoma's Own

While Oklahoma is welcoming
home her soldiers of the 3Cth divi-
sion, the Oklahoma men of the Goth
division are by no means forgotten.
The units of the goth are beginning
10 arrive in America, after heroic
service abroad. These are the
drafted men. Carter county has a
company in one of the regiments.
The division is made up of Okla.
homans and Texans. Just now the
following recent letter from an out.
slider, highly praising the Oklahoma
troops of the national army, is of
special interest.-tEditorJ

Editor of The Daily Oklahoman:
| have just seen the statement of the
chief of staff that the Goth division will
be homeward bound in two weeks and
am writing to inquire what plans the
people of Oklahoma are making TO re.
ceive the greatest fighting brigade in
the A. f. +. Oklahoma's own-the l79th
brigade. Having been confined in a
hospital since November 10, when l
was hit in il places while leading the
final assault of the 357th infantry on
Baalon, I am not in touch with either
the regiment or the people of Okla
homa.
However. having served with the
17sth brigade from the first day it was
organized TO the last "a hours of its
lighting and having been the operating
officer Of the 357th infantry during the
sntire operations of that regiment in
France.-I am interested in Knowing
whether the people at home know the
yreat story of the toughest scrappers in
he American army. l believe that il
he people at home knew the deeds OF
heir sons in the 357th. they would rise
'nmasse TO overwhelm the returning
lefoes. l have no local pride in say.

In his life of George Washington, written
when he was a passionless historian and not a
passionate senator, Henry Cabot Lodge figur-
actively jumped all over the late Senator S.
T. Mason of Virginia for sending copy of the
Jay treaty with England to rank outsider
after the senate had ratified the treaty "NIr
Mason gained great present glory" wrote His
torian Lodge, "by this frank breach of promise,
and curiousy enough this single dscreditable
act is the only thing that keeps his name and
memory alive in history. All that he achieved
at the moment was to hurry the inevitable dis
closure of the contents Of treaty which no
one desired to conceal except in Difference to
official form" Senator Lodge should have re
ferred back to Historian Lodge of the same
initials and physical identity before he stood

hustle is created by the muffled
movements of the official stenOg-
