the appropriations ran short in 1920,

We believe it pays to advertise
and constantly preach it, but know of
one instance which recently came
under our observation when adver-
Using did not pay, in fact, it was
detriment. We refer to friend who
advertised turkey rattle. The sheriff
read the ad in Lacrosse IN the cur,
rent issue of The Independent and
promptly called both US and the ad-
vertiser on the phone and warned us
that it is against the law to have raf-
fies and If it were pulled off, presecu-
ton might follow. Now, there has
been all kinds of raffies around here all
summer am. fall and they got by with
out any trouble. Why? Because they
were not advertised, but kept under
cover. MORAL: If you want to keep
apvthino, under cover don't advertise.
