mess disorganization has furnished
Europe's vital problem today. He has
just returned from IN extensive trip
through the old world.
Summing up the whole matter, my
opinion is that the recovery in Europe
IS gong to be very slow indeed" said
Mr.. Norvall. Il came back convinced
of the fact that here in the United
States we have got to cut out extray-
aganee Of all kinds and get back to
old-fashioned hard work and simple
living. My message to all business
men is simply to quietly go to work
putting their houses in order. You
know ! am an optimist. always try
TO look on the bright side of things,
but / think here in the United States
we have had our eve years Of pros
perity, and now / believe it is time

home and see that it is in order. !
refer to this because it is so human
in all of US to start in checking up the
other fellow. In other words, when
most business men start to readjust
their W business they start with
the office boy instead of starting with

\ HUSBANDS K

RECENTLY in Washington a grand
iury Of men decided that a wife had
no "inalienable right to go through
the pockets of her husband. The case
grew out Of a woman finding a letter
from the other woman in her hus-
bands coat. The fact that many wo-
men do not follow this practice no
Doubt keeps a lot Of careless men out
Of the divorce courts.
Next to finding a letter Of this
character there is nothing quite so
discriminating it seems, as to discover
q strange hair on his shoulder or the
suspicious oder of a strange perfume
parked on his vest.
The man who comes home each
evening with the essence Of gasoline
clinging to his tired business suit is
safe until he carelessly arrives with
that automotive smell submerged by
the bottled violets of the women his
wife doesn't care for.
A suspicious sense of smell pro-
cures just as damning evidence to a
woman as a signed confession. Many
q man has ben hanged, fguratively
speaking, by a strange tress on his
collar as has been matrimonally gas
sed by a perfume his wife doesn't
recognize
There is only one safe method for
keeping the wife in ign~orance-that

The s. W. Brundage Shows, one of
ten largest and highest class carnival
companies on the road, is anxious to
show in Mexico the week of October
first. This comapny has appeared in
Mexico before and for the past two
seasons have been the feature attrac-

The company has twenty attractions
and is said to be clean and high class.
They would want to show on the

in the hands of the Chamber of Com
MERGE with a view Of securing the
opinion of the public whether they
favir this entertainment or not.
The Chamber of Commerce has
been contemplating a Fall entertain
ment with prizes for farm products

NEWSPAPER ADS GAIN.

THE use of newspapers as med
iums for national advertising increas-
ed fifty million dollars last year ac-
cording to a report presented the AM
escan Newspapers Publishers Asso-
NJ ton at it's recent annual meeting.
IN the face of a general shrinkage
Of all national advertising the news
papers made by far the best showing
among mediums employed, and the
outlook for the remainder of the year
is given as most favorable.
The increase is due to a growing
understanding of the value of a news
paper advertising medium. Many
advertisers which in the past have
used exclusively for their advertising
national magazines are now in thu
newspapers exclusively.
Al newspaper, in it's field, offer
more concentrated circulation, ant
better results as repeated tests hav
proven. The firms who have thi
year made a decided increase in bus
mess over last year have done so be
cause they used newspaper space con
sistantly in their campaigns this veal
This is being testified to by man
