A paper is always just as good as
as the business warrants. It is a
good time for town to wake up
and SUPPORT its home paper when it
is alive-not wait until it is dead.
This town had a taste of under the
Dixon management, and only for
the present owner it would have
been paperless yet. Give your
home paper liberal support; it is
the best industry ever established
III any community.

Like good men a newspaper is
not appreciated until it is dead.
The business interests of Swanton
have feeling of regret that the
Courier of that place has suspended
publication. Lack of proper sup
polt is given as the reason-a good
one. Swanton needs a paper. 1t did
not support it. It is served right. A
SII.oo income does not wrranta a
5000 expense account. Editor
Tobin was in $500 manufacturing

But Cans had recovered from the ef-

crossed him with a right that landed on
the point of the jaw. Hawkins fell Ike

referee said "ten."
Hawkins and his friends laid the
knockout TO q lucky punch and therefore
they arranged another match. which was
also staged in the Broadway A. c.
Hawkins and Cans were cautious in
the first round. which was devoted
largely to feinting and sdesteppins IN
the second round Hawkins started an
offensive and once more landed his trus,y

Once more Hawkins was disappointed.

his tactics of delay and got to his

siderable sparring and feiuting the
negro landed another crashing right and
down went Hawkins FOR the fun count.
This defeat convinced Hawkins that
Cans was his master. and he kept away

DOG SHOWS IN NEED
OF MORE PUBLICITY
Managers Frequently Overlook
linD0rtant Element in At
tracing Interest.
BY FRANK J.. DOLE.

I wish that more of those who are
working for the Improvement Of the
dos game would come TO bigger re-
alization of the value of publicity The
more often the name OF breed or
pictures Of its best dogs appear in
print the more people VIII he drawn
into taking UP dog interests Tl.4:s is
something impelllng about good dog
which attracts the attention of every
normal man. The more people who so
to dog shows and become attached to
one particular breed the wider dog
fancy will extend.
One of the biggest OF the specially
Stubs. the Shepherd Dog Club of Ameri-
ca, realizes the great value In publicity.
! don't think il would be too much to
say that that very bigness has resulted
from the wise use OF publicity. Every
time the shepherds are brought to-
gether in a show a wise campaign OF
publicity is followed to let everybody
know just what the shepherds are doing.
Not only do the advertisements APP
pear in the dog papers, but in the
daily papers as well. These are sup
plemented with special articles calling
attention to the merits OF dogs which
viii compete for high honors. The re-
suit is large gate and frequently
many persons who had no particular
interest in the breed go away from
the show devotees of the shepherd
seldom is there a shepherd show that
pictures of the prize winners are not
sent out. They appear frequently in
the newspapers and rotoGravure sec
tions.

4 Case in Point.

The Whippet Club. which last week
ran n wonderful race meet at Meadow
brook, might well take a leaf from the
book of the Shepherd Dog Club. A little
publicity was sent out before the race,
but when the event took place little at
tention was paid to the representatives
of the press who came to report the
}aces. In some instances these men were
tot particularly familiar with the sport
of whippeting. 1t might have been ad
yantageous to the whippet interests to
with whippeting see to their entertain
ment, put them in points of special van
tage to see the races and enlighten them
on any obscure points.
Such a course would have led perhaps
10 better and more complete reports of
the event and to q wider revival of in
terest in this great sport, which in re-
cent years generally has gone backward
instead of forward. TO be sure, whip
peting is essentially n fashionable sport
and has been such throughout its his
tory. but it must not be confined to one
class. In the first place. it is necessary
10 have handlers who are either profess
sionals or VINO have devoted u great
amount of their time to the raising and
training Of their own dogs. The CO.
operation of such people should be en-
couraged. They should not be made to
feel like outsiders If the revival OF whip
peting is to be at all general.
The failure to take advantage of pub
lcity as n means of furthering dog in
terest Is more general than the practice
OF making the most of all opportunities
when shows are held. One show was
held in New York this week regarding
thich not line appeared in any of the
daily newspapers. How can the man
aagers of a show expect to get any re-
sponse il they confine notice of their
coming shows merely to the purely ken
mel publications?

Indianapolis: The Bobbs- Merrill Com
pany.
Three rafting good stories OF
Asia are contained between the
covers of this book. and, like all
tho other works of this popular
author, are fairly bursting with
action. incident and adventure.
Two OF the stories deal directly
with incidents attending the Sepoy
uprising against the British in
India.
The FIRST, "Hookum Hal" which
translated means, 1T Ia an order"
has to do with tho heroism OF a
British sergeant and his ingenious
and spectacular rescue of Jailpore.
The second. For tho Salt He Had
Eaten" like the first Is brim full
OF thrilling action.
"Macliassan An" the third now
clette, has its scenes in the Persian
gulf and in Arabia, and has for it's
heroes two adventurous British
tars who. making the most Of d
short shore leave, managed to have
themselves speedily Jailed in a ma
tive lookup and obtain their release
finally by means OF furious flstic
encounter staged in entire accord
ance with the Marquis OF Queens
