truth about ADVERTISING
By CHARLES B. ROTH
FINE GOLD

takes place. Its employees, clear
down to the delivery boy, become
seized with the inspiration the ad-
vertising has set up.
The reason for this influence of
advertising is not hard to find. The
advertiser is leader, and every
leader has an obligation.
You as a customer benefit greatly
by this indirect value of advertis-
ing. You benefit in additional cour-
tesy, additional consideration and in
the additional value you receive for
your money, because advertising has
always been the one means by
which prices have been brought
down.
The merchant who advertises sets
himself up as price and quality
standard for the community. You
buy from him and receive the most
for your money. And you also
receive the most in human values
in what wise man once called
"the fine gold of business"
The time when business is the
pleasantest is when a fine sense of
mutual confidence exists between
buyer and seller. In helping bring
this feeling about, newspaper adver-
Using contributes something to bust
ness which is of as much value as
its practical services.
1t contributes mutually of feel
ing that gives business a character
and trust that nothing can replace.
Fine gold, you know.

Co. circus will exhibit in Ely on Thurs
day. Health Officer More has
made an inspection and reported cess
pools in various parts of the city that
stink. Something will be done about
it and also about the piles of rubbish
being dumped on vacant lots by people
who are deliberately endangering the
health of the community in this man
ner. Even the contents of privy vaults
are being deposited in depressions and
on lots belonging to some one else.
The principal stockholders of the
Pioneer mine arrived in the city last
evening and today are looking over
the mine. In the party are Thos.
Bardon of Ashland; Thos. Wilson. the
vessel owner and E. w. Oglebay, of
Oglebay Norton 81 Co., of Cleveland.
From these gentlemen it is learned
that a new shaft will be sunk on the
property. 1t will be necessary to go
down about 600 feet before the Chand-
Ter vein will be encountered, and it
will take about nine months of hard
labor.
The market situation for iron ore

Minnesota Setting
NelU High Mark For
Tourists This Year.

Minnesota's tourist industry, the
states third largest is all set to chalk
up new high for summer vacationists
this year, according to Victor A. john
ston, director of the state tourist
bureau.
Johnston bases this forecast on re-
ports to the bureau and other evidence
which goes to show that more people
patronized the states $500 resorts over
the weekend holiday starting on July
than in any similar period since
Minnesota became famous as the ma
tons outdoor playground. 1t is also
claimed in authoritative quarters that
there are more automobiles with out
of-the-state license tags on Mime
sofa highways now than ever before at
this time of the year.
In view of the fact that the peak
of Minnesota's tourist traffic is not
scheduled to arrive until few weeks
later, Johnston said, bureau records
show a material expansion of the
area from which Minnesota draws her
| tourist trade and that such staunch
| standbys as Illinois, Iowa, Missouri
Indiana and others, are sending more
| vacationists to this state than in any
previous season.
So far this year Illinois tops them
all in the number of mail requests to
the bureau for tourist information
with Iowa close second, followed by
Missouri, Indiana. Ohio. With nc
world fairs in New York and Calf
ornia this year, more people from these
states are touring and mentioning ir
Minnesota.
While war conditions are credited
with contributing to Minnesota's record
tourist business this year, they also
are responsible for a complete STOP
page of Canadian vacation travel II
| the United States, Johnston pointed
out What this means to Minnesota
can readily be seen when it is recalled
that under normal conditions one-thirc
of the patronage in several of thu
states major resort areas is by Cana.
dams, he said. On the other hand
there are indications that more Min.
nesotans and other U. S. citizens art
mentioning in Caada this year thar
ever before.
Here we have striking and con-
vincing evidence of the value of tour
list advertising" Mr.. Johnston said
obviously Canada has little or moth
ing to offer the vacationist that Min
nesota hasn't got. Still current re-
ports are that people of the Unitet
States are flocking into the Domin
ion for their summer vacation thi
year. The answer to this puzzle i
that Canada spends millions for tour
list advertising where Minnesota spend
hundreds"

SAFE DRIVING
BY Douglas Nankervis
Chief Of Police.
WHAT CAUSES
TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS?

No one can say exactly how many
motor vehicle accidents are due to a
particular cause, the National Safety
Council points out because most of
them result from a combination of
causes.
A summary of the more important
contributing causes and circumstances
of fatal accidents, however, has been
compiled from the 1910 reports of
state traffic authorities. 1t shows an
average of two contributing factors
per accident. 1t follows:
l. Unsafe speeds. A factor in one
of every three fatal accidents.
2. Other unsafe driving. Reported
in one of every two fatal accidents.
Main violations were disregard of
right-of way, driving on wrong side
of road.
3. Unsafe pedestrian acts.
A. Drinking drivers and pedestrians.
5. Drivers physical defects.
6. Age of drivers. The very young
and very old are more frequently in
vOlved.
I. Bicyclists (who disregard traf-
fic rules.
s. Unsafe vehicles.
9. Vision obseructions. Dirt, rain,
snow on windshields; distractions on
highways.
10. Highway defects. From a broad
point of view, many highways are not
as safe as they could be made.)
IL. Darkness. Three of five fatal
accidents occur at night.
IL. Road conditions and weather.
Wet, snowy, muddy, icy roads, fog rain,
days made dark by heavy clouds.
1t will take only a short time to
memorize these contributing factors to
accidents. Applying this knowledge to
your driving will go long way toward
making you good driver.

No SeLectiUe Service
Classification Final

Registrars under the Selective
Service Act were again reminded by
1t. Col j. E. Nelson, State Director,
that no classification is final. Con-
tinuance of a classifications depends
on status as existed when the classical
ton was assigned by the local board
1t was emphasized that registrants
must report changes in status to their
local board Immediately. Citing the
case of Glass III deferments, Col
Nelson pointed out that death or other
circumstances may change the de-
tendency status of the registrant en-
tirely.
Many registrants do not seem to
realize that they ARE REQUIRED to
report any changes to their local
board Any classification may be
changed at any time, if it can be
shown that conditions regarding the
registrant are different than at the
time the individual was classified.

Paint Cure for Vitiligo

If you get white spots on your
skn-the medical Technology is
"vitiligo"-there is little you can do
to make them go back to their nor
NAL coloring, most medical authori-
ties agree. The spots usually ap-
pear on the hands and the back of
the neck. Many physicians have
recommended the painting of the
spots with the juice of walnut husks
or some other dye to conceal them.
Solution of potassium permanganate
of proper strength can be used for
this purpose.

that the universal breakfast dish

laxative effect of prunes is not due
entirely to bulk or roughage, but
from the fact that prunes have a
chemical incorporated in them
which has cathartic properties SINH

reported.

only seven tank stars.
On this latest periodic raid the

half . dozen records, one by more
than 81 seconds.
Here's how they did it:

Barnes won In 2:19.7 to smash the
former mark Of 2:508. In the mems

Individually, Lois Magill won the
