Extraordinary. The Laugh Man
AT Chautauoua
at Chautauqua.

In Kansas City, his home, Jess Pugh

spends an evening at home On the

Here is one prophet who is not with
out honor in his own country.
The last night of the Chautauqua

town would want to keep him over for
another program. Pugh is one of the
most popular men in the country.
Never has a Chautauqua program

TROUBLES OF A MERCHANT
Expert on Modern Business Methods
Delivers Entertaining Lecture
Here.

w. +. Brennan, lecturer. newspaper
man and business expert of the Ma
tional Cash Register Co. OF Dayton.
Ohio, addressed a fair sized audience
of merchants and their clerks at the
high school auditorium last evening,
and presented in a forceful and graphic
manner the reasons for failures in
retail business.
Not only were his remarks of in
terest and value to the retailers, how
ever, for the fundamental of business,
the broad principles of commerce were
brought out in such manner that
they could be adopted by men of any
line Of business or profession.
Cooperation not eut-throat COM
petition is the keynote oil today's bust
ness" declared Mr.. Brennan, and he
showed further on in his address how
"the wholesaler and the banker are
both partners of the retail merchant
in these days" He showed how by
proper organization of store the
burden of the business can be shared
by ali the help and the owner so that
all the weight need not bear down on
the one mind which should be most
free of care-namely the owners.
Keep your advertising ahead of
your business, not behind Il. Make it
pull your BUSINESS along"
"Your advertising is your store
news. If you haven't any, make some.
A new line of goods; cut prices on
goods you want to turn over. 1t is
easy enough to get news K you watch
for the opportunity"
Don't spend q few dollars in ad-
vertising and then say, advertising
doesn't pay Advertising does pay as
attested by thousands Of merchants
over the country who have become
successful through its ,iu.llslaas use Y
may take little time to secure max
imum returns, but if you make il a
part of the continuous policy OF your
store, you will not be disappointed
with the results"
Advertising is simply way Of tell
ing possible purchasers about the
goods you have for sale. To be easy
TO understand, an ad must be made OF
simple words. short sentences, few
ideas. Big words and involved SEN
tenees will not be read. The purchas-
ing public does not care how well edu-
Gated you are-it simply wants to
know what you have to sell. its quail
ity, and its price"
Finally the lecturer showed that the
modern store owner knows, where the
old fashioned owner simply guesses.
And with the aid OF a second film he
pictured the steady strides of the
White store To surprising success fol
lowing the visit Of an expert in store
systematizing who upbuilt again the
confidence of banker and wholesaler
in the tottering structure of j. Whites
good business ability sadly undermin-
ed as it was by these preventable loss
es. The result was the installation
through renewed credit of proper
business system, the release of the
merchant from drudgery and dispair
the renovation Of the store, the re-
newal of customs. and the enthusiasm
and vigor of happy ambitious clerks
anxious to maintain the reputation of
their house for real servce.

The number of inquiries being re-
ceived by the State Immigration De
partment at the present time indicate
that the demand for Colorado lands by
people in other states is not quite so
heavy as it was last fall and winter.
The general impression is that a con-
siderable construction in the money
market has slowed down the demand
for land to some extent in all parts
of the country, but that renewed
demand will be evident Immediately
after crops begin to go TO market.
Crop conditions in Colorado are ex-
ceptionally good at this time and land
men generally look for an excellent
movement Of farm land this fall.

To Finish Plans
For Roundup In
Audrain County

R. H. Emerson of Columbia, state
leader of the Boys and Girls clubs,
will be in Mexico the last of this week
to finish the program for the Febru-
airy Roundup, according to Ed C. Of
futt, county superintendent of the
schools. This is. the second annual
roundup hel din Audrain County, and
plans are to make it a larger affair
even than last year.
The round up was originally started
by the Chamber of Commerce of Mex
leo, and Audrain County is one of the
few counties in the state having a
roundup. Premiums will be provided
by the business men of Mexico.
The present intention is to offer
prizes for the best soil and poultry

the school. The prizes will include
all work done in agriculture for the
year of 1920-21.

contested for by a number of schools

A PROFESSOR in Texas suggests
training for future husbands. His
name is DR.. w. B. Bizzell, Of the
Texas A. & NJ. college.
With the development of civiliza-
ton, the marriage relationship, orig
inally undertaken in a haphazard
manner, has become more and more
complex, with the result that it is be-
ing given more intelligent thought
than in more primitive days. But that
intelligent thought has been chiefly on
the woman's side of the relationship,
DR.. Bizzel said. The young is
being left to feel that about all he
has to do is love a girl very, very
much, and, if he is able to support
her properly, to marry her and live
happily ever after.
And some young married men don't
even accept this responsibility.
