DOES IT PAY TO ADVERTISE.

Does newspaper advertising pay?
Ask the merchants Of New York. y
recent strike of the web rpessmen,
which caused 4 complete cessation Of
the publication of all the big New
York dailies FOR a few DAYS, and
when they did get started again only
allowed the publication of an eight
page consolidated paper, thereby cur
failing h advertising space,
threw the New York merchants into
a panic. 1t vas just about time for
the fall buying season to start. and
with no advertising space available
the merchants were faced with enor-
nous losses (the statement is their
OWN for they had laid in full fall
stocks, and buving fell off seventy
per cent. Think of it, Mr.. Adver-
tiser, because the stores we're una
BILE to advertise they only did one
fourth their usual volume OF business
during the strike. If you are a nom
advertiser, Mr.. Merchant. isn't it pos
sible, in view of this striking proof
that advertising does pay, that you
Yourself are doing something less
than fifty per cent of the business
you might be doing if you followed a
permanent advertising policy. Never
before has the truth of the state
ment: 1T pays to advertise" been
more conclusively proven than by
the strike of the New York union of
web pressmen.
Every day striking examples of
logic contained in the above state
ment come to mind. Another fact
is, out of every hundred concerns
that fail in business, over seventy
five per cent were non-advertisers.
Think it over, Mr.. Business Man.

BABBLING
IN THE DESERT

When Harry Parker, the opulent
drug store keeper of Gold Hill, Utah,
was q struggling rancher at Trout
Creek-that was only last year-his
car was out of business for a time
and some sick folks had to be rushed
to town to take the occasional train
for Salt Lake. Harry borrowed an
old wreck of a Ford that was in run
able repair in all but one respect
it was minus q pair of license plates.
1t was too early in the spring to take
the Overland canyon road, so they
went around by the Redding springs
route end at The summit not far out
of Gold Hill Sam F~alkenhurg over
hauled them with his Dodge. Harry
hailed him. Said he:
Sam, would you mind taking these
sick folks into town, and I'll III up
here to the Success mine because l
amt got a license on this Ford?"
Gold Hill at that time was in
tested with a pair of ubiquitous auto
license officers, so-called, named
Lamb and Reed. Lamb had the OBJ
session that if he could arrest all
the people going in and out of Gold
Hill on some pretext or one at all
he would land some larger graft in
the fern Of 4 supervisory job over
other auto license collectors. so he
was out for a record. His fee at the
time was only SO cents, but Reeds
as an administrator of various oaths
to prove that you did not steal your
own ear, at two bits for each oath.
ran to three or four dollars, so that
if Reed did not cut up his rake-offs
with Lamb the latter has been known
to burn up two or three dollars
worth of gas at a clip to get his four
bits.
At any rate, when Harry chug-
chugged up to the Success mine to
avoid Lamb and Reed, who on earth
were there but Lamb and Reed them
selves in the flesh. Because Harry
had no plates on the wreck he was
stung right there for thirteen bucks
and about six bits. and the car die
not ven belong to hir,.
The same wreck had been loaned
once before to other parties, but
Reed let them get by after Lamb had
landed the occupants. Lamb kicked
and said it would get them in bad
with the secretary of state. They
had a chance to retrieve when
Harry came along, but it was another
case where man proposes, for it was
no time until the 5O-cent graft law
was repealed and Lamb never got his
bigger graft.
Leland Nelson, a friend of mine
over at Hinckley, Utah, loves to sit
up nights and. tell hunting and trap
ping stories. One night when he had
invited me to stop owe with him a.
his little ranch ives pent the evening
talking about hunting and trapping
mountain lions, and he gave a few
pointers on the subject of muskrats
which he said were numerous in the
Sewer marshes and bitches near
there. He woke me from my slumber
in the night by shouting rapidly

ton. The reaction Try journals in
their self-imaginary adroitness have
seen fit to ignore his record as gov
ernor Of Massachusetts,, which record
IN all essential respects as pertain
ing to matters OF legislation is a copy
of Mr.. Cox of Ohio, and have rested
their case upon the whole circum-
stance of his having said that he
would carry out the policies of his
lamented predecessor.
In all this time not only have any
words escaped the presidents lips to
confirm this twaddle, but the Nom
bers of both branches of congress
and other prominent men who have
called upon him have drawn nothing
out of him that after .heir calls
lcould be construed into saying any
thing whatever.
From the first it hes been admitted
that Mr.. Coolidge is rot a man o;
words but of acts. While Coolidge
has not talked he at last has acted
by lat last not being meant that
he has taken SO long about it, either
The latest dispatches tell of his hav-
ing hardened to the pleas of the
grain growers Of the northwest and
that he was dispatched to the center
of the distress the manager of the
war finance corporation, an assistant
TO the secretary of agriculture and
an attache of the treasury depart
ment, with full power to employ
every Of the law to relieve
the farmers by use of government
finances, forming cooperative mar
keting associations, as matter of
course using government money to
tide over the needy ones who would
have to sell, and in general to sup
eryise orderly rather than precipi-
tate marketing.
OF course the reactionary elemen:
as expressed in its press will claim
that these measures = the platform
and program of the old guard and
that Mr. Coolidge is but carrying out
its wishes AMI demands. 1t is well
come to all of that thunder it cares
to usurp, hut the fact is that it is
nearer to the PLATFORM of Magnus
JoiiiiSthl uuu Eiiipotcdo ny tftly pOS
sible means of measurement, and the
whole $50 degrees at that, than it
is to that Of Lodge, Mellon and the
late Senator Aldrich
In other words, the first publicly
visible act of the new president is
ultra-progressive. 1t may be carry
ing out Mr.. Harding's policies as eX.
pressed in words, but Mr.. Ccolidge's
modus %operandi eschews words and
employs acts as his exclusive vehicle.
1t brings to mind the fact that
while Mr.. Harding's alleged policies
were freely expressed and described
by him, if q few of them were vigor-
ously carried out they might not
look the same color. There was
more than a hope that he would MOI
carry them out. Tho fear is that Mr.
Coolidge may really do so.
There is no need of specializing on
what Mr.. Coolidge will do upon other
matters that are in the future. He
has not repudiated the old guard in
words and he will not, but whether
or not he will, his acts alone will
speak. While still claiming him it Is
plain that he has the reactionaries
worried.

pioneer, father of ey-Congresn.an
George A. Bartlett, of Reno, and
Henry J. Bartlett, of San Francisco.
this week at Tonopah celebrated his
eighty-ninth birthday and both of his
sons we're there, as they are every
year. Mr.. Bartlett senior is a worthy
scion of the old south. He has many
admirable traits, but he made his
particular hit with me when q woman
applied to him to rem 4 house-he
lives upon his rentals. She was volu-
BILE in telling him she had no chill
dren.
Then you CANT have the house."
Mr.. Bartlett told her. I'm not in
sympathy with this modern race
suicide fad. I only rem my houses
to couples with c%hildren.''

IN our Ell Dorado, Kansas, home
stead, we had a neighbor from Ken
lucky named Hiram Childers. Hiram
a big husky but never on the
friendliest of terms with hard labor.
Neither his wife nor himself had
ever heard Of potatoes being boiled
with their Feelings on. My folks in
duced them to try it. Hiram would
go to the field and plod in a way
through the forenoon, but instead of
waiting until 1880 to come in with
Line and ''Tige,' his old mules. he
would edge in near the house with
them at IL, leave them, walk over
the rest of the way and say:
What you-a1l goin' t'git fer din
ner, Net, taters with thur jackets
on?"
He could have asked her in the
morning and stayed in the field til.
11:30, but he probably did not care
to take a chance on her forgetting
to cook what he wanted.
F. w. Fletcher has heard this enc
as having happened during the late
war. have 4 dim recollection of it's
in some war and have
been trying to remember whether or
not Irwin Cobb told it. Anyway, Mr..
Fletcher got the straight of it from
England and it is not a bad story
An English lord told of a German
spy being captured and sentenced to
death. At daylight he was being
taken out a mile or two by a couple
of Tommies to be shot. The going
bad, the earth being mud and
mire as they walked over it and in
it. The spy kicked on this added
penalty.
Don't see as 'ow you got nothink
to kick bout the Tommies informed
him. 1--WE got to go hout an come
back in this ere mud, an you honlv

OLD GUARD WORRIED

Did the old guard place its money
on the wrong horse?
Within a few hours after the death
of President Harding the reactionary
newspapers of the country from coast
to coast teemed with editorials in
support of President Coolidge for the
nominee of 1924, especially claiming
that his views harmonized with theirs
and asserting that he was of their
own.
More recently the self-same news
papers have published columns in
depreciation of the fact that Mr..
Coolidge is a silent man and nobody
has been able to smoke him out on

HOR n CROP

Offlclal reports have Il that Ne.
yada's honey crop this year will be
short, and weather conditions of the
past summer indicate that it may be
the same throughout the intcrmoun-
tain states.
This is unfortunate in q way. Too
few people recognize the food and
health properties of honey, especially
of Nevada honey. 1t is a sweetening
diet that is more than mere sacchar-

years have been attributed to cheese
and kindred dairy products, surpass.
ing any and all of them in that re-
gard.
If there We're a orma or larger
crop more people might eat honey
and partake of its benefits, and at the
same time the growers might profit
by the increased sales that will be
denied them. On the other hand, the
shortage will doubtless have the ef-
feet of enhancing the price, so that
some if not all of the growers will
secure approximately as much in the
aggregate for their curtailed output
as they would have had for a larger
crop sold at a smaller price.
But this is one particular crcJ
where the gnlf between the grjwer's
price and hal paid by the ultimate
consumer is all too broad. Last year

Much as the retailer would like
to build up his trade he is prevented
