nificance at their meeting Thurs
day in the club house, not only in
the program, in which Twice Told
Tales section of the Ten Thousand
club presented Mrs. Donald W.
Ketchen in charming Christmas
story. assisted by the Wilson boys
sextet. but also in the bringing OF
Christmas toys for underprivileged
children of the community.
The stage setting made a perfect
background for the beautiful tale
told by Mrs. Ketchen, Ruth Saw
yer's "Tonio, Antonio. In the
background was beautiful stained
glass window, beneath which was a
Nativity scene, the "Navidad" which
played such a large part in the
story. Other Yuletide decorations
added atmosnhere and color.
Wilson Sextet
Wilson bows seXtet supplied the
musical setting for the story: the
BOYS in their scarlet and white
vestments sang some beautiful
carols including the lovely modern
when Jesus Christ Was Four Years
Old" CTatton; a paStorale, while
Shepherds Watched" (Kountz); the
beloved 20 Come All Ye Faithful"
and 20 Little Town of Bethlehem,
and whence is That Goodly Fra
GRANGE" sung with deScant, and con-
Guiding with the old French Carol,
aGloria'. The boys have remark
ably true. sweet voices which are
well blended and well trained. In
cidental solos were sung by Tom
McChristy and Elmon Clifton, the
other boys in the group being: AL
bert Arnold, Ralph Clark, Tommy
Holland and Jack REM.
Mrs. w. H. Tyler, jr., section
chairman, then presented Mrs.
Ketchen who had been chosen to

Beautiful Story
That the sections choice was fully
justified was proven in the delight
full story of Tonic Antonio, stout
hearted little Spanish boy who had
to play mans role since his
father had been injured in an ac-
cident. Tonic Antonio's efforts in
earning money, his adventures in
the great city of Malaga, and his
success in bringing Christmas to
his family made an appealing and
thoroughly charming story for the
holiday season. Mrs Ketchen was
decidedly charming herself and was
particularly successful in her por-

TRUTH about ADVERTISING
By CHARLES B. ROTH

You have never seen an adver-
tisement of one of these gyps. You
never will. There are two reasons
why.
One is that no reputable news
paper will accept their advertising,
because newspaper takes its OBJ
legation to its readers so seriously
that it investigates advertisers and
rejects those that do not give hon.
est value.
The second reason is that adver-
Using is an investment, and not
gamble. And these pitch men are
gamblers.
The man who advertises says In
effect to you: 81 am operating a
business in your service. will Of
fer goods you want. My prices will
be reasonable. / have become a
definite part of this community. My
money is invested here. Here in
tend to remain, a part of your COM
munity life. 1 sell good goods, and
in my advertising I tell the truth
about them"
Because you have been "gypped''
by buying wild cat brands and by
patronizing itinerant peddlers and
door-to-door solicitors without re-
sponsible place in the community,
you now buy advertised goods from
merchants who advertise.
This is the course which is fol-
lowed by the shrewdest buyers. It
IS the course they have discovered
which pays them the best.
1t will also pay you best.

Most of Those Recorded Were
Man-Caused So Could Have
Been Eliminated.

Forty-one fires were reported in the
Superior National forest from Jan. /
to Sept. 20, according to information
obtained from the Ely office of the
forest service. This number is quite
low, according to Ranger Jack VAL
entine.
The fires burned over only small
territory, thanks to the vigilance main
tanned by the forest service, there
being only 40 acres destroyed, repre-
senting loss of but $35. This is for
both government and private property.
Thirty-four of the fires were man
caused, and in three cases the persons
responsible were apprehended and fined.
OF the total number only one was a
class G fire, being 10 acres or over
in size. For each million acres within
the forest, IA were burned

We are in receipt of a copy
of the annual report made by
James H. Hyde, executive agent
of the St. Louis County Humane
Society, at the meeting of the
organization in Duluth on Sept.
20. The report is very infor-
NATIVE and shows the work
done by the executive agent in
the interest of the crippled
children, aged infirm, and
domestic animals throughout
the country. The report also
shows that no mistake was
made when Mr.. Hyde was
named to succeed the late John
Ross, who for twenty-four years
had kept the society in the front
rank of humane activities.

Duluth Publicity-Despite the appear
ance of other advertising media, the
newspaper remains the most productive
channel whereby industry can reach the
buying public-and industry is fully
aware of that fact.
A recent survey well illustrates the
sustained popularity of newspapers
among advertisers. The survey was
made by four national associations
having annual sales well in excess of
$3y00OO00O00.
During the typical year covered by
the survey, these companies spent more
than $55yOO0O00 for advertising. Al
most So per cent of the money was spent
with newspapers. A little less than 10
per cent was spent on handbills and
similar printed matter. Only 4.30 per
cent was spent for RADIO with the bal
ance made up of expenditures on mis-
cellaneouS media.
That is testimonial to the character
of the American press. No institution

Grating but he had decamped. Where
was he? In some other city, prob
ably miles away, going through the

These pitch men, almost without
exception, die broke. Inspired
statesmen, really with a talent for
persuading people that amounts to
genius, they nevertheless fill pau

ages in cheap rooming-houses.
What's the trouble with them?
1t isn't hard to find: They do
not give value. They depend upon
talk to replace quality, tricks to do
away with honesty. They lose as
