truth about ADVERTISING
AN EXPERIMENT m HOUSEKEEPING
BY CHARLES B. ROTH

robust health and full of energy and
strength.
Many examples can be cited of
the inevitable result of stopping ad-
vertising. Two will do. Forty years
ago there was a remedy on the mar
ket which was Americas biggest
seller. It was widely, intelligently,
consistently advertised. It's name
was a household word. Then the
founder of the business died. His
heirs decided to cut out advertising
because "our product is so well
known people will have to buy it. !"
The product passed out of the pic
ture entirely.
Another was fine, honest, we'll
made, well-advertised toilet soap,
with all the good will any product
could possibly need. The manage
ment of the business changed. The
advertising stopped. Soon the prod
uct was no longer on the market.
The reason why advertising must
be a continuous process is that we
human beings need constant remind
ing. We're not tickle. But we are
so filed with our own ideas and
plans and businesses that if a man
who wants our trade doesn't ask for
it regularly and often, we drift else
where to the man who does.
The advertiser is faced by the
problem of asking his customers to
buy from him, but he also has to
consider the most economical way
Of extending his invitation.
He finds the answer to both parts
Of this problem in the newspaper.
No other form of advertising has
ever been discovered which will
carry his message SO effectively for
50 little cost.

EARLY RESIDENT
DIED SATURDAY
John Glode, Former Ely Hotel
Man and Police Chief
Buried Yesterday.

John Glode, one of the early day
residents of this city where he con-
Quoted the Vail and Exchange hotels,
for 16 years, afterwards holding the
position of chief of police for several
years, and an active member of the
Ely Fire department, died at Shakopee,
Minnesota, following brief illness
Saturday.
After leaving Ely, Mr.. Glode conduc-
ted the Glode Hotel at Eveleth until
1913. He was appointed chief of
police, which position he held until
pensioned in 1888. Since retirement he
has resided with his daughter, Mrs.
Leonard Austerman, in Chicago. He
was on business trip to Shakopee
when suddenly taken ill.
John Glode and family came to Ely
from Republic. Michigan, in 1892. Born
in Canada he grew up in Republic
where he was married to the Oldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Carey. He served as marshal at Re-
public until leaving for Ely.
He acquired national prominence in
1888, when marshal of Republic he
captured BLACK Bart, desperate
known as train robber and holdup
artist. "Black Bart" had eluded cap
ture for some time and it remained
for the small town police to put him
behind the bars. He was sentenced to
Marquette state prison where he served
his time and vowed to get even with
Glode upon his release, but never full
filled his VOW.

Trying to reach an intelligent decision
on the 'lease-lend" bill is like shadow
boxing in the dark with the invisible
man. Even after two weeks Of hear
ings before the House Foreign Affairs
committee. the Administration still has
failed to give Congress any adequate
reasons for the delegation Of extraor-
dinary powers requested in this mea-
sure. In effect, President Roosevelt is
asking the Congress and the people to
trust and follow him blindly.
Some of my Republican colleagues
believe the President is deliberately
using the emergency to grasp for die
tatorial powers. I dislike to think that
of the man elected to lead our Repub-
lie. A kinder, though still unsatisfac-
tory explanation, is that the Admins
tration, by its failure to be frank
with the people on this whole defense
picture during the recent campaign,
has gotten itself into a bad political
pocket and seeks this escape rather
than now disclosing its real views and
thereby admitting that it played some
rather sordid politics in the campaign.
It is conceded by all that this bill
goes far beyond simply aiding Britain
That aim could be accomplished very
simply by the substitute bill offered
last week by Senator Robert A. Taft
of Ohio, to grant credits for munitions
totaling a billion and a half to Eng
land, Canada and Greece.
Here are a few of the things this
bill would do for which the Admins
tration has offered no adequate justi-
fcation:
It would. through his power to des-
Lignate any nation whose defense he
considered vital to our defense, permit
the President alone to form military
alliances and thereby abrogate the
Senate's treaty ratification authority
It would permit the President tt
transfer to another nation any equip
ment of our army and navy, without
requiring as at present the certificatior
of service chiefs that such equipment
is obsolete and not needed by us. The
President scoffed at the idea there was
any intention of doing this, but il
so, why ask for the authority?
It would permit repair of belligerent
ships in our Navy yards. The Navy
department says that section means
nothing because our Navy yards are
full up with our own vessels. But il
so, why ask it?

100000 tons Of ore are estimated to
be on the Cleveland docks at present
and Notwithstanding this large amount,
Capt. Jos. Sellwood is of the opinion
that the Vermilion range will ship a
large quantity from the Minnesota,
Chandler, Pioneer and Zenith mines.
Capt. Sellwood also stated that the
Mesaba range would not be ready to
ship this season owing to the fact that
the Duluth, Missabe & Northern

ticipated rise in freight rates.
The Chandler shipped 20 cars of ore
to West Duluth today and the furnace

Ozone Form of Oxygen

Ozone is form of oxygen. The
molecules of the ordinary oxygen
OF the air are built of two oxygen
atoms. The molecules of ozone con-
sist OF three of such atoms. AS
result of this difference of structure
ozone contains considerably more
chemical energy than does oxygen
and is far less .table. 1t is a gas
with a faint blue co.or and is formed
when oxygen or its compounds are
acted upon by certain sources of in
tense energy, such as silent cleo
trio discharge, or fiuorine gas, or
certain wave lengths of ultraviolet
light. 1t is an excellent absorbent
for ultraviolet light, under the in
fiuence of which it is ionized, or
partly broken down into electrically
charged particles.

The Ely Commercial Club was or

braved the blizzard raging to attend
the meeting. The evening train sup
posed to be carrying the speakers and
honored guests from Duluth, TWO
Harbors and other points, was over
an hour late. Secretary Mccarthy OF

only one of the prospective visitors who
got through the storm and was present.
The meeting was called to order by

on the many advantages to accrue. He
spoke of the individual feeling OF
jealousy shown in the business,
civic and social sides of the city and
made the statement that it would be
the object of the organization to foster
a better understanding between the
factions and to work in harmony for
the betterment of the city as a whole
and its people in body regardless OF
their business, nationality or religious
affiliations.

The Presidents inaugural message
was about the weakest collection Of
platitudinous generalties that he has
ever INDUCED in, and further confused
the picture. Observers here do not
know whether it was simply because
the President was too tired to write
the forceful and fortnight speech the
occasion demanded (and he has a right
to be tireO or whether he is in pro-
cess of making a momentous decision
