Short Talks On Advertising ByCharles Austin Bates. More things enter into advertising than are generally supposed. In fact every thing that connects a name and a business in people's minds is advertising. Membership in churches and clubs and societies, the giving of social entertainments, public charities—all these things and more are advertising. But greater and broader, and better and easier than all these is newspaper advertising. You may think of that without thinking of the other plans, but no scheme of publicity is complete without the newspaper. Properly prosecuted, newspaper advertising will always pay. That here and there is a man who says: "Advertising doesn't pay, I've tried it," proves nothing but that his method was faulty. Advertising is business news. It tells of things which are of great daily importance. It is of more account to the frugal housewife to know where she can get certain necessary commodities at a less price than usual than to know all the troubles in Siam or Alaska. The news should be news. It should not be allowed to grow state, with repetition in the same old war. same old way. I advertise only in a small way, pick paper in your territory and spend all of big money in that. Don't scatter. When grows, and you can spend more money, race in the same paper, until you are using all you profitably can. Then paper. I would rather have one good self a dozen poor ones.

Don't scatter. When your business grows, and you can spend more money, buy more space in the same paper, until you are sure you are using all you profitably can. Then add another paper. I would rather have one good "ad." than half a dozen poor ones. When "hunting for bear" I would rather take the best gun I had and load it properly than to scatter my powder in half a dozen poor guns, and so "make a flash in the pan." Publishing merely your name, address and business will do some good, but there is a better way. Be different from the others in your line. Find some point in which you excel and harp on that. Give prices and specialties. Try to make the advertisements interesting and readable. Make them characteristic of your store, and, above all things, make in spirit. --- --- THE VOL.8 THE BAND AT HOME AGAIN. After a two weeks' tour with the Dekreko Brothers Carnival attractions, the Queen City Concert band are again at home. Tee band spent a delightful time during their stay in a large number of towns in the state of Iowa. They spent a week in Desmoines and came up against several good white bands in which our boys carried off the honors. It was acknowledged in every town that they stopped that it was the best Negro band that had ever been heard in those sections. The band played all the high grades and latest music published. While at Oelweine, Iowa, they met several members of Prof Barnhouse's famous band and were highly complimented on their playing. The same will be Iowa State band at Des Moines. Sedalia has every reason to feel proud of their Negro band. All in all the boys had an enjoyable trip as well as a sightseeing tour, and in a few weeks they may continue for several months with the same company through the sou hern states. CIMBING TO THE TOP Prof. She ton French, principle of the Lincoln High School, has been elected president of the Missouri State Teachers' Association which will hold its next session in Kansas City on December 25. The association made a good selection and he will no doubt prove a valuable head to this or anization. Our friend, Prof J H Kenner of Marshall, was chosen secretary. T G PRICE'S NEW RESTAURANT. TG Price, who for the past tour years has been employed as merchant's policeman, has purchased the Silver Moo restauant and is now ready to meet all of his many colored friends and serve them with anything in his line. He has an eye to business and will certainly treat you right. Look out for a big advertisement in this paper next week.

Don't say that you haven't the time to attend to your advertising properly. Really, you haven't time to do anything else. Advertising is the most important thing about any business. It is the vital spark. What good does it do you to have the very best thing or the very greatest bargain on earth if people do not know it. In running a newspaper, James Gordon Bennett, Sr., said, the important thing was to "get the news and then make a dom fuss about it." First get the right sort of goods, in the right location, at the right prices, and "then make a dom fuss about it" in the best paper you can find. The trade will follow.

BAND ENTERTAINMENT. "Proves nothing but that his method was faulty." At Cost and Bodor "Advertising is the vital spark" SOME GLIPPINGS Jake Powell, Richard Smith and Arthur Marshall will sign out again this season with Dan McCabe's Coontown 400. R O Henderson and wife are thinking of leaving the Harrison Bros ministrels and returning home. The Queen City Concert band will again sign out with the famous DeKreko Bros Carnival Co in a few days. The Negro press shapes and molds public sentiment in the Negro's behalf and every family should consider it as as indispensable. Better do without some of the nece saries of life than to be without a Negro paper. It is paving the way for the future of our race. What little sense Ben Tillman has is due to the fact that he was nursed by a colored woman when a baby, and that a being in the image of God could lose all gratitude for kindness shown is deplorable. Prof. Booker T Washington dined with the President at the White House a short time ago. It was a private affair, and it is sa'd that Prof Washington is the first Negro to be honored in such a manner. Gordon C Collins who has been spending a few weeks with folks in Chillicothe, signed with W F Swain's Nashville Students, at Iola, Kas., Saturday, Sept. 28, 1901. He made a good hit at the opening performance with his new monologue and funny dancing. Mr Collins saps the concert is one of the best he has ever seen. Henry Yanger gained the decision over George Dixon, former feather weight champion of the world, in St Louis, after fifteen rounds of hard fighting. Yanger was the agressor throughout, punishing Dixon severely about the body? Dixon's blows lacked steam, and it was only his ring gen ralship that saved him from a knockout. An Australian sporting paper publishes the following: Billy McClain, the colored comedian and enthusiast in boxing, called at the Hawklet office last week enoute for Adelaide. While wa ting for yours truly, Jack Donovan, better known as Flash Jack, took it upon himself to grossly insult McClain. The latter instead of doing what any ordinary man would have done, viz. knocked him down, ignored the insult. Donovan was a lucky man, for if Mac had hit him he would have been carried away on an ambuance stretcher wondering whether he had been struck by a blacksmith's hammer or kicked on the jaw by a horse. The Australians have raised $247 41 and it behooves all American admirers of poor dead Peter Jackson to show their appreciation to his former se.f and to his memory by donating to the monument fund. Champlon Jeffric's failure to put Hark Griffin, colored heavy weight, to sleep in tour rounds in California a few nights ago, has sent Gus Ruhlin's stock up several notches. The admirers of the Akron man believe that unless there is a big change in the champion's condition, he will not stand a chance with Ruhlin. Jeffries' failure to put out a sucker of the Griffin type must naturally enough be attributed to lack of condition. It may have been a fluke that Griffin stayed the limit, but that is not likely, for with Jeffries right such a fluke could not occur. According to reports the big fellow has been leading a wayard life since he went West, and his friends say that if he should go into training tomorrow, it would keep him at hard work for two months to get in proper condition to fight Ruhlin. There is still another story going the rounds to the effect that Jeffries did not try to put Griffin out, and intends to make a poor showing in all four round exhibitions for the present, to make it appear that he has gone TIMES.

That does not seem probable, however, for Jeffries is not of a disposition that he could control himself in such exhibitions.

Men ef ability and societies of strength and resources are cunsidering ways and means to promote the interests of the biack race in this country. Even the partial dis- franchisement of the b acks in the South, which has now been ac- complished in many states is de- fended: in many instances on the ground that it will promote the educational interests of the race; that it is less prejudicial to the colored people—being based uyon educationa! qualification — than was the practice of granting the franchise by the letter of the law and denying it in fact, While this view is not wide.y xecepted in the North it is worthy of note that it bas some indorsement among the Negroes themselves. But the most promising signs of better days com‘ng to the Afro- Americans ate the efforts that are being made among their leaders. Men of ability aod influence are Coming to tke front, They are pretty genera ly agreed as to the best means to advance the worth and the recognition of their peo- ple. DrJ W £ Bowen, dean of Gammon Theological Seminary at At’anta, who addressed the coi- ored people of Kansas City at the Second Baptist church. ‘s among the important advocstes of ration- al race promotion. He dees not take the discensclate view cf ex- isting conditions that is enter- tained by some of his brethren. He characterized the Negroes as the “boy race of the world,” infe- nor to the man but ao more to blame for its fgurative youth than the white race is for its figurative age. Nor does he resrnt those prejudices that a:e inevitable. He holds thata degree of prejudice in one race toward another is nat- ural and tha* it simply grows less according to the deserts of the people, The message he has fo! his class iy “manhood' and e:tizen- ship.” The first he urges the col: ored race to strive for and incu. cate in the young, and the second he azks of tae government—the boon of equality before the law. The fact that the church was filled.and that many white people heard the lecture denoted unusn- al interest. The solution of th race problem is being eager! sought, but it will never- com through legislative enactment o: social decree. It must come b: gradual processes and through th uplifting of the colored man. Nutting parties are quite tre- quent nowadays. The few watermelons displayed by grocers these chilly mornings brings up visions of the “ager.” _ Secretary Hay has been associ- ated with two administrations whose heads have been assassi- nated. The cool mornings makes the gentlemen of leisure bunt the sun- ny corners. Some of them will wonder where they are at before the winter is over. ‘The time bas not come when the colcre ! voter can cast his vote with the northern wing of the de- mocracy, not while the southern democrats are disfranchising his brother in the south. There are several young men and boys in this city who, if they don’c mind, will see the in ide of the penitentiary or the retorm sebool if they don’t mend their ways, and it will not be a great while either. Colored men must remember that all of the white men in ths country are not enemies to our welfare, ‘here are ters of thou- sands in the southland who wish us well, The troubie is they a-e wotally in the minority. The American pecple should bow their heads in shame and sorrow that Senator Ben Tillman, of Sonth Carolina, should have been allowed to go to Canton and attend the funeral of President McKinley. This man Tillman ‘s an anarchist in the same sense that Czolgosz is one. His respon- sibility for the revolution and mas- sacre of helpless men ang women in North Carolina in 1898, begin- ning with opening speech in Ricb- mond and ending with his diaboli- eal stumping tour of North Caro- lina is ghostly history, He has ayowcd in the Federal Senate his participation in political assassi- nation end ballot box thievery, a justitied it; He has advocated mob law, and justly resorted to it in numerous public addresses in every s3ction of the Republic. He bas violated every rule of decency by his unblushing vulgarity. By his own admission of participa- tion in high crimes and misd> ‘mesncrs he has forfeited the re- spect 0 decent uankind, and he should be legally tried, convicted and hanged. That Such a man should attend the funeral of the President, a victim of the advo- cates of anarchy, such as he, is a national shams and scanda’. The people believe that con’ gress will desl w.th persons of the Emma Goldman and Herr Most stripe soon after it convenes for the winter session. While <he right of free speech is a sacre? legacy from the ferefathers there is not the slightest doub: that the framers of the constitution were they living, would be among the first to denounce the vie and criminal harangues of the typical anarchists, To the criminal 's gnaranted only a fair trial, acd the penalty having been paid, an op- portunity to reform. ‘There is a new claimazt for the postoflice at Satcoxie.

It doesn't pay to buy advertising blindly, no matter how good it is. If you are selling $1,000 a week at a gross profit of twenty-five per cent, and can increase the sales to $1,250 at a cost of $50 for advertising, you are a clear $12.50 ahead. Rent and clerk hire, light and heat and interest all go on just the same, whether you sell $1,000 or $1,250. It is advertising that brings in the money to pay all the other expenses. Advertising is business insurance. Advertising what you haven't got or what you don't do is worse than not advertising at all. You can't be too careful about this. Make your ads strictly true in letter and in spirit. I believe that the majority of business men do this now, but as it is the most important thing about advertising, it will bear repeating and reiterating. When merchants and laymen come to consider advertising in its legitimate character of "business news," it will pay better-pay the advertiser better and the advertisee, too.

CHAINED FOR TEN YEARS THE TREES ASTING EVERY BRINGED DELIEF No. 4. John Wanamaker has said: The way to think of advertising is to consider first the goods you have, to see if they are really desirable. Then figure on the number of people likely to see your announcement in the paper, the proportion of possible customers among that number, and what you can afford to pay for each dollar's worth of new business. That will give you the size of the ad, you ought to use. Then make your ad. clear, logical, convincing. Don't try to be funny, unless you are naturally so, and even then don't it too often. What people want in an ad. is exact, definite information. It ought to be "It does not pay to buy advertising blindly, no matter how good it is." "I don't pay to buy advertising blindly, no matter how good it is." JOHN WANAM "John Wanamaker has said: 'To discontinue an advertisement is like taking down your sign.'" ```markdown ``` Not So Noble in Character as the Story Writers Picture Him. "I have read a good many stories," said the city man, "about the honest newsboy who chases a man three blocks to return the five dollar gold piece given in mistake for a nickel; the sympathetic bootblack who protects the widow's son, or the heroic street gamin who gets run over by a dray while rescuing another boy, and murmurs, 'Is Jimmy all right?' and then dies. I have come to the conclusion that these stories are written by girls fresh from school, or refined old maids who live in a village, and they are read by men who thoughtfully stick the tongue into the cheek while reading. Yet there are men who read and believe. "I saw one of this class the other day who went to the rescue of a bootblack who was trying to fix his broken box. "My lad,' said the good man—they always call them lads in these stories—'you are in trouble; let me assist you.' "Then he knelt down on the sidewalk in his good clothes, used a half brick for a hammer, raked up some twine from his pocket, and after fifteen minutes' hard work, made a creditable job. Meanwhile about thirty street boys gathered around. One slipped a piece of old iron into his pocket, the grateful bootblack with a bit of chalk decorated his back with a hideous caricature, his hat was knocked into the gutter as he arose, and one of the boys accused him of stealing a 'dabber.' "The man flushed with natural indignation, and immediately there arose a whoop of derision, and as he strode away he was guyed by the whole crowd for two blocks. While in this frame of mind it would have done him good to have interviewed some of the ladies who write the picturesque tales about the imaginary street boys."—Chicago Times Herald.

Anthony, the veteran woman suffragist, has always had a lively wit, and there is more than one example in her recent life, by Mrs. Ida Husted Harper, of her nimble use of it in the behalf of her sex, says Youth's Companion. During her experience as a school-teacher Miss Anthony got her first practical insight into society's injustice to woman as a worker. Repeatedly she would take a school, which a male teacher had been obliged to give up because of inefficiency, and, although she made a thorough success, would receive only one-fourth of his salary. Her first opportunity of calling attention to the injury done the teaching profession by slighting its women members came during the state convention in 1853. Two-thirds of the teachers in attendance were women, but not one of them spoke, nor was their presence recognized in any way by the men. Toward the close of the second day the question under discussion was: "Why the profession of teacher was not as much respected as that of doctor, lawyer or minister?" Miss Anthony, having listened for some time, rose, but only succeeded in gaining a hearing after half an hour's heated debate as to whether she should be permitted to address the meeting. She had remained standing, fearing to lose her chance, with her heart beating a tattoo, and permission being granted, she said: "It seems to me you fail to comprehend the cause of the disrespect of which you complain. Do you not see that so long as society says that woman has not brains enough to be a doctor, lawyer or minister, but has plenty to be a teacher, every man of you who condescends to teach tacitly admits before Israel and the sun that he has no more brains than a woman." As may he imagined, this little bomb was disconcerting to men and women alike. SEARCH FOR THE TILE FISH. Efforts of Government Agents to Locate the Much-Wanted The United States fish commission is about to make an effort to determine as precisely as possible the area of sea bottom occupied by the tillefish-that strange and interesting finny species which was first discovered in 1879, only to be rendered almost extinct soon afterward by a marine cataclysm wholly unprecedented, says the Saturday Evening Post. The fish commission thinks that an important and lucrative fishery for the tilefish may be created, when once the fishermen are informed at to where they should go to look for the species, which is excellently adapted for the table. Hitherto it has remained almost unknown simply because its home is in the depths. There is reason to believe that it has again become very numerous, and a reference to the history of the famous catastrophe of 1889 shows that in Maroh and April of that year 7,500 square miles of ocean were found presufely sprinkled with tilefish, the number being estimated at one thousand millions. The eastern edge of the North American continent is overflowed by the sea, and that is why the water near the coast is so shallow. To find the true edge of the great continental land mass one would have to travel about 80 miles due eastward from New York. There begins a sudden descent to the true floor of the ocean, which is 2½ miles deep. A narrow belt of this density, running north and south, is bathed by the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, and here is found the tile-ash. The catastrophe above mentioned, which so nearly wiped out the entire species, was undoubtedly due to an invasion of the belt by the arctic current. SLIRTS WITH WAX WOMEN. Custleman from Wyoming Throws Kisses to Figures in Store Windows. A veracious policeman on a beat that takes in the swell department stores of State street tells a queer story of a custleman from the plains of Wyom- ing, says the Chicago Chronicle. Ascending to the officer's story the ranchman fairly fell head and ears in love with one wax figure of a beautiful female in a prominent show window of Chicago's great shopping thorough- ness. When I first saw the cowboy throwing hisses at the pretty woman of wax," and the policeman, "I at first thought he must be drunk or crazy. But he was neither. The real truth was that he had never in his life before seen a dummy figure of a woman of the perfect type then standing before him in the glare of the show lights at night, and his explanation was that before he enquired the enquisterly ofticed grand game was nothing but a cold and life- All 25c Underwear, Glovos, Soxes, Neckweat, Suspenders, Hose Supporter Cuff Ruttons, etc now..... 20cts Monarch Shirts white and colored, were $1.50 now $1.10 206 OHIO Chateau de Speer W THE Wines Chateau de Speer Wines of Passacic, N.
