The biggest business
enterprises in this coun-
try were built upon adj
vertising. None will
deny that. Newspaper
advertising is the most
potent of all. The money
that is spent annually
IN the newspapers of
the United States is
enormous. j.
Enormous as it is, the
return is tenfold. And
yet one occasionally
will find some self-suf-
fcient business m a n
who will declare he
doesn't need advertis-
ling.
Every man in every
business needs adver-
tising. Some need it
more than others. It is
nonsense to say that a
certain article sells it.

Bland, Ray Becker, James McIn-

Lamb.
In the first impossible verdict, re-

Eugene 3arnatt and John Lamb
guilty of third degree murder. There
is no such crime. Doubtless the
jurors meant lnanslaughter. But
when they were sent out to recon-

second degree murder.
They were out only two hours for
reconsideration, and it is believed
they made this change in the verdict

the fact that any of the defendants

accessory before the fact. Second
degree murder means killing that

they would not convict any Of the
