KANSAS HAS TWO WOMEN CANDIDATES Representatives of Fair Sex Would
 Be Executive Head

Topeka, Kansas, Aug. 3. - Two women are among the seven candl- dates for the republication nomns- ton for governor at the primaries in this state on August 1, They are Mrs. w. D, Mowry, welfare worker and wife of a wholesale druggist, and Miss Helen Pettigrew elocutionist and platform entertainer both residents Of Kansas City, Kan Miss Pettigrew says she expects to be nominated by 3o,oo0 plurality.
 The other five candidates are men long prominent in politics. w. R, Stuhbs, Of Lawrence, stockman and banker. who served two terms as gov ernor, la09-la1S w. Y, Morgan, for mer lieutenant governor and publish CT of the Hutchinson News; w. F. Lambertson, farmer, of Fairyiew and for many years a member of the leg tsiature; Fred w. Knapp, salina, banker, ex-editor and state auditor 1slT-l92l. and Tom A. McNeal. To- peka editor of one of d'. s. Senator Arthur Capper's agricultural publica- lions.
 Interest centers mainly in the in- dustrial court issue, Two of the re- publican candidates McNeal and Knapp-advoeate the abolishment of the new Kansas industrial tribunal. This stand harmonizes with resolu- tions adopted by the Kansas Federa- ton of Labor and two farm-iaoor or ganizations. Practically all the gub- ernatoria candidates freely advocate curtailment of state expenses and low ering of taxes.
 The names of three candidates ap- pear on the democratic primary ticket for the nomination of governor-Hen- derson Martin, of Lawrence, former vice-governor of the Philippines; Johnathan M Davis, of Bronson. farmer and party nominee two years ago. and Leigh Hunt, Kansas City, at forney and ex-service man. All three advocate that the industrial court law be repealed.
 M. L. Phillips of McDonald is the socialist candidate for governor and has no opposition.
 Both democratic and socialist par ties, as we'll as republican, have full party tickets but there are no contests on the socialist slate and democratic contests are confined to candidates for governor and four seeking nomination of state superintendent of public in- etruction.

Wellesley Hills. Mass Aug. 5. - The high light of the ninth annual Wellesley conference now meeting here for the discussion of conditions and business problems, was reached when Roger w. Dabson announced a definite turn in business and showed why fundamental conditions indicate definite and substantial business re- covery.
 Standing before a Babsonchart, 12 feet high and thirty feet long, Mir Babson explained the situation.
 T have been waiting for over two years to be able, to announce that the most drastic depression in business history has spent itself Fundamental conditions finally indicate that solid foundation is ready for general and substantial business improvement
 The white line that I draw today divides the area of depression in half. Statistically it means we are at the exact bottom of the cycle. Practical ly it means that business will pick

Newark, O., Aug. 5.-Police today were endeavoring to verify the state ment of Moses Slocum, negro, St. Louis. employed at the Baltimore and Ohio shops here, who last night shot and killed one striking shopman and wounded another, that he is United States deputy marshal. He was un- able to produce credentials.
 Slocum told police the two men ac- costed him with drawn reNolvers. Po- lice said they did not believe either of the men were armed. Threats were made against Slocum by striking shopmen after he was arrested. Lo- cal and union officials calmed the men, however.

certain number of readers
get in the habit of looking
for announcements under a
firms name-but the vast
majority of readers have
to be attracted by some
thing more than a firms
name. The name of a firm
may stand for honest mer-
chandising, dignity and
respectabi bility. but most
people are looking for
bargains, for new styles,
for fresh creations-in
fact they are looking for
reasons rather than dig
nifty or responsibility.
They know the firm is
all right. 1t has the con-
fidence of it's customers.
1t never misrepresents-
but what has it got to
sell? And that's the rea-
son / would always put
the firm name at the
bottom of an ADVERTISE
ment instead Of the top if
/ were a merchant. It
would appear as a final
signature to guarantee
the truth and genuineness
of the announcement. The
top lines should sparkle
and snap with news in
terest. They should tell
something and m e an
something. They should
get reader interest the
moment the paper is
open.
Advertising must be
vivid and vibrant with hu-
man interest appeal and
must say som mething new
each day. 1t must be
something m ore tha an
pretty pictures or mushy
rhetoric. 1t must sell
goods-and in order to
sell goods it must have
salesmanship in It.

one by the name of Smith
might manufacture a
cough drop but if the
whiskers were not there it
would not be the cough
drop that Josh Perkins has
always used and he would
not touch it.
So much for the value
of a trademark that has
been fixed in the public
mind by years of advertis-
ing. You can burn the
buildings in which the
cough drops are made, and
the Smith Brothers with
their whiskers may be
gathered in by the Grim
Reaper, but you can't burn
this particular cough drop
and the Smith Brothers
whiskers out of the public
mind.
But there is a lot of Ad-
vertising that must have
the whiskers shaved off or
it will grow stale and un-
profitable. While it is true
that Advertising is a repe-
tition, if you repeat the
same old copy every day
the public will soon cease
to notice the copy. 1t
loses it's power to attract
attention and hence loses
its power to sell goods.
The advertising must do
something more than re-
peat a trademark or the
name of a firm. The mer-
chant that prints his name
at the top of his advertise
ments every day goes on
the theory that thousands
of readers are looking ev-
cry morning or evening
for this particular an
nouncement. This theory is
a very pretty little piece of
self-conceit that will not
work out in practical anal
ysis. 1t is true that a
