Those business men who continue
to doubt the expediency of advertising
we would refer TO Dave Theophilus,
grain dealer of Howard, South Dakota.
Dave recently got a lot Of advertis-
ing in the big press of the country
because for the past twenty-four
years he has continuously carried in
the Howard papers the .single-line
reader: "Dave Theophilus Sells Salt"
He estimates that this ad, which has
cost him approximately $50, has been
the means Of selling 10000 barrels of
salt, besides indirectly aiding in many
other sales.
When Dave put this liner in the pa
per rs years ago advertising was in its
infancy and the big ads which appear
today were an unknown spectacle. As
this business-getting medium grew,
Dave persisted in sticking to his one
liner and he continued to get results
because he got in tn ground floor and
even in the maze of bigger ads which
filled the papers as the years pro-
crossed the results from Dawes ad
grew because the readers would seek
the liner to see if Dave still handled
salt, and people who came to get salt
through Dawes persistent advertising
bought other articles which he han
died.
Dawes experience in advertising has
set an example which can profitably
be followed by the man whose bust
ness cannot afford big advertising
but win permit small and continued
.l,,n - L
big space because he kept his liner in
the paper continuously and the people
were never allowed TO forget the fact
that he was handling salt. Had he
advertised spasmodically--an ad once
in while-the people, missing his
liner, would have thought he had run
out of salt. The man who adyertises
continuously, even though his space be
small, will got the same results as
Dave did.

You ought to stand right by the open
ing here
And never sit down in that easy chair.
And say, st. Peter, my eyes are dim,
But don't like the way your whis-
kers are trimmed,
They're cut too wide with an outward
toss;
They'd look better narrow and straight
across"
St Peter sat quiet and stroked his
staff,
But in spite of his office he had to
laugh;
Then said, with fiery CLEAN in his
eye:
who's tending this gate, Maggie,
you or II"
Then he arose in his statue tall
And pressed button on the wall.
And said to the Imp who answered
the bell:
escort this female around to hell"
Slowly Jiggs turned, by habit bent
To follow wherever Maggie went.
st. Peter, standing on duty there,
Saw that the top of his head was
bare.
He called the old boy back and said:
"Jiggs, how long hast thou been
wed?"
"Thirty years." with weary sigh
Then he thoughtfully added, "why?"
st. Potter was silent with head bent
down;
He raised his head and scratched his
crown;
AS the choir in the distance the echo
woke,
Slowly, half to himself he spoke:
"Thirty years with that woman there!
No>wo1der the man hasn't any hair,
Swearing is wicked, smoking's not
good;
He smoked and swore-I should think
he would.
"Thirty years with that tongue SO
sharp
Hoi Angel! Gabriel, give him harp;
A jeweled harp with golden string.
Good sir, pass in where the angels
sing.
And Gabriel give him seat alone.
One with cushion up near the
throne.
Call up some angels to play their
best,
For Jiggs has certainly earned rest.
"See that on finest ambrosia he feeds;
He's had about all the hell he needs.
1t isn't hardly the thing to do
To roast him on earth and in the fu-
ture, too"
They gave him harp with golden
strings,
A glittering robe and pair of wings.
And Jiggs, looking down from his
high level,
Thought of Maggie and felt sorry for
the devil.

Senator Spencer is still suffering
from the effects of nominating Nat
Goldstein for collector Of internal
revenue at St. Louis. He was in St.
Louis last week and talked with many
men whom he deems worthy and ELI
gible but, it appears, none Of them
is anxious to let it be known he is
second choice" to Goldstein. The
senator announces the names of many
men who decline the office but says
he will have to confer with President
Harding before making recommen-
dation.

MAGGIE AND JIGGS APPLY
AT THE BEAUTIFUL GATE
FOR ENTRANCE

st. Peter stood guard at the golden
gate,
with solemn mein and air sedate,
When up to the top Of the golden stair
Maggie and Jiggs ascending there, !.
Applied for admission; they came and
stood
Before st. Peter, so great and good;
In hope the city of peace to- win,
And asked st. Peter to let them In.
Maggie was tall and dark and thin
With scraggly beardlet on her chin;
Jiggs was short and thick and stout,
And his stomach was built SO it round
ed out.
His face was pleasant and all the
while
He wore kindly and pleasant smile.
The choir in the distance the echoes
woke,
And Jiggs kept still while Maggie
spoke.
"Oh, thou, who guardest the gate"
said she,
ave two come hither beseeching thee
To let us enter this heavenly land, :.
And play our harps with the angel
band.
Of me, st. Peter, there is no doubt,
There's nothing from heaven to bar
me out,
I've been to meeting three times a
week,
And almost always I'd rise and speak.
1--WE told the sinners about the day
When they'd repent of their evil way;
I've told my neighbors-I've told EN-
all
'Bount Adam and Eve and the Primal
fall.
I've shown them what they'd have to
do,
If they passed in with the chosen few.
I've marked their path of duty clear,
Laid out the plan of their whole ca
reer.
"I've talked and talked to 'em loud
and long,
For my lungs are good and my voice
is strong.
So, good Peter. you'll clearly see
The gate of heaven is open for me.
But Jiggs, here. | regret to say,
Hasn't walked in exactly the narrow
way;
He smokes and swears and grave
faults he's got,
So | don't know whether he'll pass or
not.
ale never would pray with an earnest
vim,
Or go to a revival or join in hymn.
While the sins of my neighbors bore,
He gadded about with Dinty Moore,
He made practice of staying out late,
Which is sin all women hate;
But at last when he did come home.
The rolling pin went straight for his
dome.

we'll;
To escape from me he'd go to hell.
But. st. Peter, ! need him here,
And hope you can see your way clear,
On earth bore heavy cross;
Give me in heaven still Jiggs to boss
I've brought my rolling pin, plates
and jars,
To keep him lodging among the stars
