Speaker Missed Train

Congressman Thos. D. Schall of
Minneapolis failed to get abroad the
train last Thursday morning, and so
those who anticipated hearing him
speak for Hiram Johnson were dis
appointed. He attempted to secure
an acceptance ride to Willmar, but
the rain and unfavorable weather
made it impossible for the Associated
Filters to furnish him an aerial char
lot. Jake Thielman of St. Cloud.
formerly baseball player of our city,
was doing the advance work for the
Schall meeting, and incidentally CAL
led on many old time friends here.

1t Isn't Your 1own-lt's You

IF you want to live in the kind of
town
That's the kind of a town you like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start on a long. long hike.
You'll find elsewhere what you've left
behind,
For there's nothing that's really
It's knock at yourself when you
knock your town;
1t isn't your tOwn-it's you.
Real towns are not made by men
afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead;
When everyone works and nobody
shirkS
You can raise atown from the dead.
And if while you make your personal
stake
Your neighbor can make one too,
Your town will be what you want to
see;
It isn't your town-it's YOU

In that place, said:
"Of course every one knows that
times are not as good just now as they
were little while ago, and q great
many merchants are retrenching in
their advertising, putting up the plea
that they cannot afford increases. That
is an entirely wrong view to take.
Since the LIST of June have tripled my
advertising in the daily papers, and
the results are surprisingly good The
time to retrench in your advertising
Is when your departments are doing all
they can. 1t isn't necessary to adver.
tise then.
"I am now using more space than 1
ever used. and the result IL more
than satisfactory.
People always respond to good ad-
vertising, and one need have no fear
of the efforts going amiss.
Il keep a separate record of each de-
partment, and when one OF them shows
a falling OFF give it dose of medi-
cine in the shape Of ads, which always
proves effective"
This direct testimony on an impor-
tant point should interest advertis-
ers who are in the habit OF dropping
out in the dull season.
