President John Poole of the Fed
eralAmerican National Bank told the
delegates to the Direct Mail Adver-
tising Association at Detroit today
that the secret of power In direct
mail advertising lies in the fact that
1t is direct. specific. individual, select
and personal. Such advertising must
be intelligently prepared. skilfully
written and tactfully presented; it
must secure the good will Of the GUS
toner.
The stockholders Of the Federal
American, he said receive a quarterly
direct mail report along with their
dividend checks. This report contains
information about the institution. to-
gether with an appeal for more OF the
shareholders patronage and influence.
Semi-annual messages are also sent
to each savings bank depositor advis
ing him Of the amount Of interest
credited and asking him to call and
have 1t entered on his book. 1t Is
done with the sole idea Of urging de-
positors to use more freely the banks
various services.
f. Mr.. Poole also discussed direct mail
notices to borrowers when notes are
coming due. All banks send out such
notices. The old style notice was
very cool and formal. The banker
said this notice has been developed in
his bank into a living. speaking no
tice. telling the customer when the
note is due, amount of the note,
amount OF interest, Importance of
meeting it on time, Of keeping bank
credit good and Of being punctual
with payments.
In conclusion the banker stated that

trust department often takes a list Of
names Of Well-to-do men who have
already established business with
some other department. Attractive
letters are sent about wills and trus-
teeships. Similar letters are often
mailed to the wives of these men.
Results are sometimes slow, but ex.
perience has proved the worth of
such advertising, Mr.. Poole concluded

All wool growers interested in
marketing their wool at the highest
market price, with the least expense
possible, please attend the wool
growers meeting to be held at the
court room, May 20, at one O'Clock

pense of less than two cents per
pound. Fellow wool growers, let's
get together and market OUR WOOL
in business way, thereby securing
the highest market price at the

general infirmities, John w. Rush,

ley of McConnelsville is his step-son.
Mr.. Rush had a number of brothers
and sisters, all of whom are now
deceased.
The body was brought to McCon-
nelsville for funeral services and
burial which took place Sunday af-
ternoon, the funeral being held at
the Methodist Protestant church,
conducted by the pastor Rev. l.. B.
Douglas. The G. A R. comrades
of the deceased were in attendance
and conducted their ritualistic SER
vice, Major Kahler singing the song
in connection with that service. The
officiating minister, in addition to
the Scripture reading and his re-
marks, also read the hymns abide
with Me" and Jesus Savior, Pilot
Me-" Those serving as pail bearers
were C. e. and R. X. Longley, How
ard Sheets and Geo. Kenney of this
place, and Edward Eicher and Ralph
Meissner of GAINESVILLE.
A humber of relatives and friends
from GAINESVILLE and some from 9TH
er places, were among those who at
tended the funeral.
In this connection Mr.. c. +.
Longley wishes to thank all who
rendered service at the time of the
funeral here: the G.. A. r. COM
rades; the minister; those who con-
tributed flowers, or furnished autos,
or assisted in any way.

That church, Rev. G.. d, Clifford. Mr.
clifford took as his text a part of
Eyodus 12:14-"And this day shall

shall keep it," He CONSIDERED MS
theme in three-fold aspect, draw
ing first, lessons from the "oHerlng
of youth" in the fight for freedom
and Justice, as was exempllned by
the soldiers of the Civil war. the
second phase considered was that OF
Sacrifice" in the many lives laid
down in the cause for which they
served. The third feature was the
memorial to lives offered and
sacrificed in warfare, and to those
who suffered the hardships and pri-
yations of that conflict, and have
since gone to join the great army OF
the dead-a tribute to their mem
ory. and a eulogy which may be pre-
sented in word and song and flow
ers for the dead, and to the veter-
ans vet living who thus served their
country. The thoughts were we'll
presented and listened to with in
terest
Special music for the occasion.
in addition to the appropriate
hymns, and other exercises of the
service. were two fine anthems by
the choir.
Besides the veterans of the G. A.
R. organization and the members of
the Women's Relief Corps, who al
so attended in body, there was a
good representation of the members
of the church and others present,
making in all an audience which
well filled the church.

Roads Again Advertised

In this paper will be found the
advertisement for bids for I. c. H.
No. $50 and l. C. H. No. 484, roads
in Bristol and Manchester town
ships. This is the third time these
roads have been advertised, which
is for crushing, hauling and spread
ing of the limestone. Why the bids
were cancelled is not known here.
The total length of the two roads is
more than 10 miles, and the estimat-
ed cost is s27,63S. However the
letting of this in no way interferes
with the grading of the roads, and
grading work is progressing nicely

Senior Glass Play

"The Charm School," which was
to have been presented in the opera
house Tuesday night by the M. &
M. seniors, was postponed to We'd
nesday night, owing to the fact that
the measles at practically the last
moment took hold of one of the
members of the cast, Donald Sims,
which made it necessary to draft
another one in his place-the sub
stituting falling to William Ford,
who took up the part at the last
moment, so to speak. and played
his part splendidly, along with the
others. The play is clever and was
highly pleasing to the large crowd,
which filled the opera house.
The cast of characters with synop-
sis of the play follows: Austin
Bevfns, Donald Torbert, an auto
salesman with ideas, which David
Mackenzie, Carl Wetherell, law
student, considers impractical,
through George Boyd, Elmer Tay-
lor, an expert accountant, is will
ing to cooperate; and so are Jim
Simpkins, Francis Hooper, and Tim
Simpkins, Willis Greer, who toll not
and have never seriously considered
spinning. Homer Johns, VIM. Ford,
is the guardian of Elise Benedotti,
Mary Elizabeth Coulson, the presi-
dent of the senior class at board
ing school, presided over by Miss
Hayes, Mary Cheadle, who is loved
and feared by all who know her, in
cluding the secretary, Miss Curtis,

ing to think well of the senior

principal address of the evening
was by District Superintendent Earl
lSlutz of Cambridge who made one
of his characteristic good speeches.
His address was principally along
the line of organization among the
men of the church, bringing out the
point that while there are many
different organizations of women
and children in the church, there
are practically no organizations of
the men.
DR.. Slutz was accompanied by his
wife, who added to the pleasure of
the occasion by singing several num-
bers.

Big Crowd At JnO. Patterson Sale

One of the largest crowds that
ever attended public sale in the
county, was that at the place of the
late John Patterson (John Tedrow
farm) near Triadelphia, last Fri
day. More than $50 autos were
there, and the crowd was estimated
at more than 1000 persons. The
side hill was literally lined with
those who brought their dinners,
and made a picnic of the occasion,
and the L. A. S. of the Triadelphia
M. e. church ran out of refresh
ments and lunch, long before the
crowd was supplied The heirs,
Charles r. Massey, auctioneer, and
j. S. Mcintosh, executor, and all
others directly concerned, were well
pleased with the success of the sale.
