gressional Cemetery, Washington, d.
c., on Sunday, May 20, 1921, at 3
o'clock p. IN. Invitations have been

prominent public men, notably Con-
gressmen Benjamin G. Humphreys Of
Mississippi and John McDuffie of Ala
bama. Also Senator Curtis Of Kansas,
Congresswoman Miss Alice Robertson,
and Commissioner Of Indian Affairs,
Charles II. Burks. Congressman Hum
phreys is probably the best posted
man now living on the early history Of
the Choctaw people. and the life and
character of this great chief.
For too little is known by the Am
erican public Of the splendid life and
character Of this great statesman and
warrior. Always friendly to the whites,
he boasted that he and his Choctaw
tribesmen had never raised the toma-
hawk against the Great White Father
at Washington, nor his uhlldren."
Adequate credit has never been given
for the valuable services Pushmataha
rendered in saving civilization west
of the Allegheny mountains. Single.
handed he thwarted the scheme of the
great Shawnee warrior, Tecumseh for
the coalition of all tribes with the pur
pose to massacre all whites west Of
the Allaghany mountains He aided
the whites in many furious contests
and was the ally of Andrew jackson
at the battle Of New Orleans. during
which services he had conferred upon
him the rank of brigadier general in
the United States army.
A general invitation Is extended to
all citizens Of Oklahoma to attend the
ceremonies.

WEDNESDAY, MAY, IL. 1921
VALUE OF ADVERTISING

The principal object of a stores pub
licity is not so much to make sales as
it is to get customers.
1t is possible that the direct sales
of merchandise traceable TO one adver-
tisement may at times be so small as
to be insufficient to pay its cost.
However. if only one or two new
customers have been secured through
the advertising the advertisement was
profitable investment provided the
store placed a proper value upon new
customer.
Five people represent fair aver
age family. That means five people
to feed, five people to clothe, ten feet
to war shoes and hundreds Of neces-
saries and luxuries to provide.
A new and satisfied customer means
an indefinite number Of future pur-
chases for herself personally. Then
If the customer is truly satisfied she
will also influence the purchases of
her friends and surely the purchases
Of the other members of her family
She is a constant source of sales as
long as she is satisfied with the stores
service.
Advertising then, should be meas
ured and judged by the number Of new
customers it produces. Also 1t should
be valued by the number Of old Gus
toners it holds. If a store can hold
all of its old customers and continu-
ally add new ones, it certainly viii
prosper amazingly. However, no store
succeeds in holding all Of its GUS
toners chiefly through the fact that
the sales force is more or less i'm
perfectly trained.
Advertising will bring people to your
store, but whether they come again
and keep coming depends upon your
merchandise and skill more upon the
courtesy and diplomacy and skill OF
your salespeople.
The merchants whose advertising Is
most successful are the merchants who
excel in buying and in displaying mer-
chandise and who train their clerks to
please people. Advertising is only
part Of business building. The other
parts of the plan must develop too.
Your advertising cannot do it all. You
must be good merchant.

Finding the task insurmountable,
Holt sent out the S. o. S. and an
other policeman rushed to his as
sistance. The two officers together
managed to get a grip on her, pin
ming her to the floor. Fearing that
they might need the reserves to get
their prisoner into a patrol wagon,
the policemen decided to walk her
to the First precinct police station.
When she proved too bulky to
get through a cell door, they per-
mitted her to sit outside until she
furnished bail. Her case went over
