The Municipal Leo.

In n small town in Scotland the
town clerk, who was bit of CHAR
acter." had the misfortune to lose his
leg In a railway accident. AS a, mark
of appreciation and esteem for his long
services the council unanimously
agreed to replace his loss with an ar
tificial limb, which they did as soon
a3 ne was sufficiently recovered. A
few months afterward the same off
cial, who WAC generally known by his
Christian name. Paul, was unfortunate
enough TO have his other leg frac-
tured in a trap accident. Naturally
the mlshap was the subject of much
town gossip, and one old wife, in dis
cussing the matter With n neigllbo7,
was overheard TO say: ITS a gey bad
business for Paul, puir man; but Is II
his ain leg or the leg that belongs to
the toon that's broken?"

Advertising Is Silent 1
 Salesman Says Expert

Chicago, July 29 = In an address before the Sixth Business Builders Conference,' attended by 400 retail merchants of the middle West yester- day. G. R. Schaeffer, advertising man ager of Marshall Field & Co.,, said:
 Fundamentally advertising is a very simple matter. We define it as printed salesmanship. It represents to a million people at one time what your salesman represents to one per son in individual converse tion. It gives information concerning your merchandise and your. service. This, of course, is its common use But 1t also should be used to inform the public concerning the policies of your institution and in this way to create good will and build confidence.
 Essentially, however, advertising is the multiplier of individual selling effort. Just as the character of the impression of your store is made by a salesman, SD it is made by advertis- ing. A poor salesman will make a poor impression; so will poor adver- Using. Good advertising. like good salesmen, will bring business and prestige to your store. Just as you desire the best in salesmen you should desire the best of advertising.
 "Use the daily newspapers. Adver- tise your goods not one day b,-t every day. A newspaper is the invited guest to the home of every worthwhile family. The merchant who does not

Hartford, July 29.-Emergency e&-

Holconbs reply to the municipal rent commission which on Monday presented him petition signed Joy about 5000 persons asking him to call a special session of the llegislature to curb rent profiteerlng. | The governors reply, sent to John J. Coleman chairman of the commission, | is in part as follows:
 | "I have examined the petitions lett l with me on Monday by yourself ana your associates from. New Britain,
 which requested me to call @ speclaI session of the general assembly 10
 consider the alleged rent proflteerlng by certain landlords in this state l | do not doubt that excessive rents are charged by some landlords. Profiteer- | ing existed at and before the last gen. | eraI assembly, was in session. There
 is no special emergency pertaining to rent charges.
 There has been a large increase in l the prices charged for all food prod-
 ,1,,ts. Some increase in price of rent must be expected. If the increase Is ont of proportion to the lncreas SC which would naturally result from modern conditions it can be consid- T cred six months from now by the gen. eral assembly at the regular session | I see no reason for calling the present
 general assembly into session to con sider it.,

 FOR THREEYEARS

Portland, Ore, July 29-Three years of wandering in the mountains of Southern Oregon in efforts to escape a charge of evading the selec- tive draft were ended today with AL fred Fattig, 27 years old farmer, in jail here.
 He surrendered, he said, because of loneliness which became unbear- able. During his wanderings, he told county authorities, he lived chiefly on the meat of wild animals and berries
 He and his brother Charles fled to the mountains in 1917 because of con- scientious scruples against war, he declared. They took clothing, salt matches, weapons, ammunition and 8 prospector's pan.
 "We pretended to be prospectors when we occasionally met miners o1 other people in the mountains" Fat. tig told authorities. "Once I return. ed home, in February, 1918. I saw my mother and then returned to the mountains. About Christmas of 1915 we heard from an old miner that tht war was over. Last fall my brother said he had enough and was goins home to work. I decided to remain in the mountains alone. Finally i got so I simply couldn't stand it an. longer.

make use of good advertising in the newspapers in his business promo ton limits his progress to individual conversation. It is surprising to find how many merchants ares till in this class-eyen in metropolitan cities, The fact that so many merchants have not advertised has spelled the Aladdin success of mail order houses.
 3It is interesting to note on the other hand how many merchants even in very small towns have built up businesses of large volume, extending g the radius of their trade territory to and even through competing trade centres Surely the many well known instances of successes which have been achieved in this way should be a sufficient incentive to all progressive merchants to make thorough study of the subject.
 Advertising is, of. course, an ex- pense. But so are salaries for sales men, And you must bear in mind that good advertising will do the work of many salesmen. It will economize the time of the salesmen you have and make them more eff cient. Also. good advertising reaches people that your salesmen cannot Moreover, that kind of advertising which builds good will and confidence is a definite investment; it increases your assets and brings dividends, fol good will is just as surely a capita stock asset as merchandise"
