When. Wq think of the enormous sum

It went two to one for Statewide pro
hibition the vote being 5115 for and
270 against. The entire state (from
a prohibition standpoint) tuts its eyes
on this county now and confidently
expects it to go four or five to one for
the amendment and this can be ac-
complished with just a Utile help and
encouragement from you. The liquor
traffic's excellent "local option" pro-
paganda is a farce aiid is mislead-
ing no one.- There are but two con-
tending warriors in the battle the
pro and the antl. There Is no place
In this fight for a guerillla.. A pro-
hibitionist is agninst open saloons
and votes against them at every op-
portunity and the man who votes
against statewide prohibition is vpt-
Ing for open saloons and is an xinti
pure and simple no matter in what
.kind of sheeps clothing he dresses or
what kind of local option sign .he;
paints oh himself. When a man tells
you he Is a local optinist that is.
that he is In favor of prohibition in
his home county but is going to vote

Advertising is giving notice to or
calling attention of the public through'
some advertising medium that they
who have money time talent skill
property or merchandise which the ad-
vertiser wishes to give in exchange for
money or its equivolent.
Since it is Divinely ordered that we
are so largely dependent upon one an-
other for those things which supply
our needs meet our requirements and
add to our comforts in life it is indeed
becoming and wise that we at all times
and under all circumstances give due
consideration to whatever a fellow
man has to offer that we may intelli-
gently appropriate to our selves those
things tha tmake for our very best
interest.
So taking the proposition that all in-
telligent people in the world recognize
this Inter-dependence upon one anoth-
er it is quite natural tbat each should
seek to know what to lay hold on and
what to reject
-Then perhaps when an advertise-
ment Is flung out to the public it is
natural and logical to suppose that
such advertising should create within
the mind of the reader the desire to
investigate as to the real worth of the
article advertised.
Such investigation creates or begets
within the mind of the investigator
either confidence and Interest in the
article advertised and the advertiser
or it may bring a. conviction that the
advertisement is a gross misrepre-
sentation and result In. unfavorable
mention of that which Is advertised
and at the same time create a feeling
of contempt for him who meant to be-
set for himself a kindly regard and to
awaken at least an appreciation for
that which he offers for sale or exchange.
A sentiment t.puted by advertlse-
'lnfcUt does nrti usnally remain a secret
in the minds of those who. perchance
rpad It but is p&ssd Jram u.'Jgblfor
to neighbor and from community to
cMmiunUy until like a stream that in
finitely flows it gathers and widens
snd d ..t.ons 2s It goes.
So the little tnrfce Inch add that ap-
p ars In only ones issue of a newap-ire
ov magazine may put in motion a
free that will prove far reaching in
rtsiiLs entirely s.itlefactory to ;he ad-
vitlscr it ris ctnted above it ny
bring to him unsatisfactory results
utter disgust for himself and a chagrin
that will never be forgotten.
So as has often been said in discus-
sions previously been made bofore the
mombers of tfils advertising league it
behooves each of ub to give very
thoughtful consideration to any mat-
ter that wq mean to present to tlio in-
telligent close observing"" public.
Again a 'well worded carofully set
neatly appearing advertisement be
gets that most helpful of all character
.Htlcs in the business man
conildenco in himself and in his ability
to successfully run his business
Further mora honest legitimate and
judicious advertising naturally and
Justly begetB In behalf of him who
does this advertising not only the con-
ildenco and Bood will of tho public but
: tiM' highest esteem and admiration of
his lovol headed and broad
competitors.
This sort of advertising n
ivlthln us another element
never without It Is succes
noes born that Is the splr
tlon by which wo hero menn
dent desire for superiority
from competition but not Implying
necessity an improper feollng-
truo emulation has honor for ita
vis.
Thl3 spirit of emulation stirs tho
blocd sharpens the wits and spurs
