LACK OF ADVERTISING
KILLED THEIR TRADE

E. L. Murdoch. proprietor of Muir
dock Bros, for Is years a leading lad
les ready-to-wear store in Champaign,
ILL.,, declares that the chief reason for
the recent failure of his business was
due to his giving up newspaper adver-
Using He said in signed letter to
the Champaign News Gazette:
Another contributing cause, and
perhaps the greatest contributing
cause, is the fact that four years ago
our firm, because we thought the rate
was too high, withheld all advertising
in the News-Gazette.
For two years we were without
proper means of getting messages
about our store into the homes Of our
friends and buyers. The result was
that they soon forgot us. We tried
other forms of advertising to supplant
the News-Gazette, but we found none
that was as effective Our business
continued on the downgrade.
After two years we saw the error
of staying out of the News-Gazette.
Arrangements were made again with
the News-Gazette to carry Murdoch
Bros advertising into the homes of
the community. The business began
to thrive-but it was too late. Seem
ingly our friends had forgotten about
us. The fault was ours. For too long
time we had failed to remind them
about the splendid merchandise and
values in our store"

Commencement at St. Andrews.

The annual commencement of the
st. Andrews Parochial High school
took place Sunday, June 7th. 1t was
the first time in the history of the
parish that diplomas for full High
school course were awarded. The
church was beautifully decorated for
the occasion, and the large edifice was
filed to capacity by relatives and
friends of the graduates. During the
services in the church, the graduation
class of the high school, as well as
those of the eighth grade occupied the
first seats of the church. First IN or
der of the proceedings was high
mass celebrated by the Rev. DR.. A.
Kreimer from Columbia college. The
mixed choir of lady and gentlemen
voices sang the mass, at the conclusion
of the mass the Rev. DR.. Kreimer de-
livered an eloquent and instructive
graduation sermon, dwelling with
special emphasis on the Importance
of religious training coupled with
knowledge. Train the heart and
mind, and you have men and women,
both good and useful in every capaci
ty of life. At the conclusion of his
remarks the Rev. Pastor presented di
plomas to the following pupils who
have passed the High school classical
course, namely: Emanuel Schmitz,
Beatrice Schaefer and Catherine Step
ker. Then pupils of the eighth grade,
namely: Catherine Dagenhart, Gil
bert Roeser, Joseph Roeser, Victor
Schaefer, Edmond Ulbric, Esther
Catherine MEME and
Blanche Walsh received diplomas in
accordance with their grade. 1t was a
sight to be remembered by the grad
yates and the parents when, one by
one the graduates stepped up into the
sanctuary and received their diplomas.
Then followed solemn benediction
with the blessed sacrament. In the
evening the graduates and high school
pupils entertained their relatives and
friends in st. Andrews hail and en-
joyed very pleasant time in social
diversion. The seven sisters, compris
ing the faculty of the school, are all
teachers of ability and are deserving
of special credit for having brought
the school to its present high stand
ard. In conclusion we must say, that
Rev. Father Scheffer, resident pastor,
deserves much praise for his untiring
efforts and devotion to the making of
good schools.

Crop Report.

Indications of an enormous corn crop
propably the third largest ever grown
slight improvement in the prospects fol
wheat, prediction Of the smallest potato
output since 1919. and unfavorable fruit
forecasts were set forth in the July crop
report last Friday by the Department Of
Agriculture.
With higher condition than the 10-year
average and an acreage Is per cent larger
than last years. corn production was fore
cast at 3,095.000, 900 bushels 650,000.-
600 bushels more than last year.
Among the causes listed for the LARGER
increase were the high price Of corn and a
tendency to increase feed crops for live
stock.
The condition of the crop ranges from
average to excellent, outside of drought
areas in Texas. Oklahoma and Kansas. In
the corn belt the crop was thriving.
Wheat prospects increased 100000
bushels during June. forecast of $780,
100000 bushels being made for this sea
son. Winter wheat lost 100000 bushels
during the month, but spring wheat pros
poets increased 22.000.00O bushels.
Production of wheat in eleven countries
OF the northern hemisphere, including the
United States, which produce normally SO
per cent Of the northern hemisphere crop
and So per cent Of the world crop, except
Russia's and China's. was estimated at
1858. 900. 900 bushels, 1874 ,000, 900 bush
els less than last year.
Indicated production Of white potatoes
was 350.000.000 bushels, which would
be l05,000000 less than the large crop of
1924. Great reduction in acreage, which
is the lowest since 1907. was attributed to
losses because of heavy production year
ago.
The season has been unfavorable for
fruit production throughout most of the
country, except on the Pacific Coast. The
gain in peaches. pears and grapes over last
year in that region has been sufficient to
offset the decrease elsewhere, and nearly
sufficient to do so in the case of CONNER
ciai apples. The total apple crop was FORE
cast at 157.0OO.OO0 bushels, $4,000 900
less than last year
Production OF barley. rice, sweet pota
toes. tobacco and peanuts promised to be
larger than last year. but smaller crops of
oats. rye, faxseed and hay were indicated.
