THE STRANGER

There's stranger-Do you know

Waiting for your son. to show him
Things perhaps he should not see;
There's stranger who may he
Just as clean and good and true,
Just as fond Of him as you,
But are you content to stay
Just his father, day by day,
Trusting to some strangers within
To be guide and friend to him?
There's a stranger always near
Whispering stories in his ear,
Maybe sharing in his play,
Maybe leading him astray,
Maybe to your own disgrace,
Slipping slyly in your place;
1t is possible that he
May Z friendly tutor be,
! But can you be sure at night
He will teach him what is right?
You are busy through the day
| And you have no time to play,
But the strangers, good or bad,
Seem to find each little lad,
Seem to have the time to spend,
Posing as youngsters friend;
Always there is one or more
Waiting just outside the door
For your boy to come and play,
When you bid him go away.
Can you trust your son to him,
To some strangers passing whim2
Are you sure that he will fare
As he would if you were there?
He is your boy, Win stranger
Be so quick to fly from danger?
VIII he learn what's good to do
As he would were he with you?
Can you look him in the face
While some stranger fills yor plce?

A great light TRANSPORTED Bobby's

The shouts were less shrill and the
yells less prolonged when Bobby was

note was addressed to Miss Ethel

amazed eyes read:

The message which the retailer plac-
es in it should thrill the reader with
the advertisers personality. The re.
taller should write his own advertis-
ing and, TO be different, it should ex-
press his own personality. The copy
should be absolutely unlike the other
fellows.
Another point where the speaker
suggested that retailers fall down is
in cultivating the youth of today. The
growing boys and girls today should
be advertised to-" he said, "for they
are the men and women and big con-
sumers of tomorrow"

"The great need of American bus
mess today" he asserted, ais for the
manufacturer and jobber to set them
selves in the position of the retailer.
Then they will realize his needs and
position and help him to the fullest
possible extent to advertise and carry
on his business successfully. The best
way to express it is that, under pres
ent conditions, all men should use ev-
cry bit of the gray matter God en-
dowed him with to the fullest. Sell
ing with energy and pep is what this
country needs. Globe

When Ann went upstairs to make
the bed that Tuesday morning, the
sight that met her eyes struck terror
to her heart. The bedciothes we're
scattered In wild confusion half over
the room. The washbowl, with two
long singing books across It, she dis.
covered to her horror, was serving rs
prison for small green snake. The
Bible and the remaining hymn books,
topped by 'Baxter's Saints Rest"
lay In suspiciOus-looking pile on the
floor. Under these Miss Wetherby did
not look. After her experience with
the snake and the wash bowl, her
nerves were not strong enough. She
recoiled In dismay, also, from the
sight OF two yellow. paper-covered
books on the table, Haunting shame.

81 PER CENT FAILURES
DUE TO FACT DEALERS
DID NOT ADVERTISE

That "a per cent of retailers who
have failed during the past few years
did not advertise was the statement
made by Capt. John w. Gorby, direc-
tor of research for the Cyclone Fence
Company of Waukegan, ILL.,, before
300 members of the Advertising Club
of St. Louis yesterday at noon at
Hotel Statler. Capt. Gorby spoke on
Helping Retailers to Advertise Sus-
cessfully." He said, among other
things:
"The chief quality Of successful
advertising man Is resourcefulness,
and it is especially necessary at the
present time. Fighting spirit is need
ed in this country more than ever be-
fore. That kind of fighting spirit that
was shown in France. We need NOR
ale, a consciousness OF how to meet
situations.
"The first essential in helping a
retailer to successful advertising is to
sell him the idea of advertising. Re-
tailers are frequently not only ignor-
ant of advertising, but innocent Of all
knowledge of it. This is true partic-
ularly in the small towns"
Capt. Gorby here told of the mer-
chant in a smaM town in Egypt"
(Southern Illinois) who had hard
ware store. The Captain visited him
on one Of his trips and asked him,
ado you advertiser" The answer was,
"No, by gosh, tried it once, and they
almost cleaned me out"
"This hardware dealer is a type"
said Capt. Gorby. ale must be taught
that the money placed in advertising
should be watched like every other
investment. He must be taught that
he is not storekeeper, but part of
a procession-the procession of dis
tribution from manufacturer TO job
Der and then to the retailer and then
to the consumer. He must learn that
his job isn't to guard shelves against
customers taking his goods, but to
sell and distribute.

Another essential of successful
retail advertising in small towns is
for the retailer to learn that the man

Using more efficient.
he must nave consecutive plan,
for more money is thrown away by
men who advertise spaSmOdically
than by almost anything else, and
that is where most of the waste goes
in advertising.
"The subconscious mind is the mind
that buys, and the small town retailer
must learn that it takes continuous
advertising to convince the subcon-
scious brain.
"The forces of advertising are more
powerful every day" the. speaker
said. This is particularly true be-
cause the advertising men have en-
listed truth as their watchword. Ad-
Vertising is destined to be the most
powerful constructive force in Amer
lean business.
Another thing the retailer can
learn is to take full advantage of
companion sales. Goods go in fami-
lies, and the retailer should pass them
on TO the consumer the same way"
Capt. Gorby here dwelt on the val
Me of the newspaper of today. He
continued: "The newspaper is really

There is an unconfirmed report in
Washington that Senator Spencer
plans to name Nat Goldstein, circuit
court clerk in St. Louis and one of the
Republican leaders there, as collector
of internal revenue for the eastern
district. This position has been ten
dered to John S. Leahy and he has
been confirmed but he has held off for
weeks, refusing to qualify and he now
announces that he will decline the Of
fee. Senator Spencer will not discuss
who he expects to name for the place
which Leahy spurns.
A penSionable status is to be given
the surviving members of the Enrolled
Militia of Missouri who saw service
during the Civil War. These troops,
although under the direction of the
federal government in guarding stores,
supply depots and prisoners during the
invasion of the coirfeierates under
General Price, were never recognized
as United States soldiers and never
could obtain pensions. 1t is under

NATIONAL CAPITOL NOTES

Washington. D. G., May t.-(Capi.
tol News Service) Disappointment is
expressed by Missouri Republicans in
Washington, other than tentative can
didates, over the refusal of General
John ]. Pershing to be candidate for
the senatorial nomination this sum-
mer. 1t was felt that General Per-
shing, not having been allied with any
faction in the party, could have the
united support of the one-time Pro-
gressives as well as the old STAND
patters."
1t is known that Senator Spencer
took General Pershing to luncheon
and there outlined to him all the adj
vantages which might accrue to ac-
ceptance of the honor. General Per-
shing, however, probably is somewhat
surfeited with honors, having held a
few in his day and having rubbed ell
bows with kings and potentates of
Europe and doubtless has as good a
working knowledge of honors, such as
come to senator, as has Senator
Spencer. Although he expressed the
most profound appreciation over the
fact that his name had been suggested
the canny commander of the A. E. F.
made it clear that he would have to
decline.
Thus breaks a beautiful bubble
which DR.. f. B. Clements. chairman
Of the Republican State Committee,
had been busy developing since his re-
turn from Washington. The announce
ment made in St. Louis carried the as
sumption that he was speaking with
the knowledge and consent of General
Pershing and yet it was Washington
correspondents who broke the ews of
his candidacy to General Pershing. 1t
may be said in passing that as Gen.
eral Pershing's salary and allowances
amount to more than $4,000 annual
ly, while the pay of United States Sem
ator is but $500, there never was
much prospect of his making the race.
The several Republican members of
the Missouri delegation who conf
IDENTIFY expect the Republican senator
ial lightning to strike them. however,
are gratified over General Pershing's
announcement.
Missouri women delegates to the
NNIlNSlIlOl VI IItc 4NdJIUIldl League Oh
Women Voters were in Washington
the last of the week and met members
of the Missouri delegation, urging
adoption of various measures approx
