Advertising, makes a good business or kills a poor one. The purpose of advertising is to draw attention to the merchant's store and to his merchandise. When a store starts to advertise, it makes certain claims, such as a prompt de- it. Such claims are made as an in- who make, certain claims must live merchant will buy better goods if he is to stand behind his claims. Advertising will make a merchant keep his windows clean and well dressed. He is drawing attention to himself and he must stand the test. If he is unable to stand the test of his claims, advertising will kill his business. If the merchant stands ready to make good his advertising statements, his business will grow and prosper. The consumer who buys from' an advertised merchant has a better tn ot hia mnnv-a worth for " - v o ' the merchant must live up to his promises in his advertisements. This acts as a protection to the consumer. "Caveat emptor," let the buyers beware, used to be the motto of the consumer a few years ago. ' This meant that you took a chance on everything you bought, and that unless you are pretty shrewd in your buying you were liable to get cheat ed. That the merchant expected to be "jewed down," and that he purposely put up his prices so that when he came down the buyer would think that he was getting a bargain, was the general idea. The timid buyer simply got cheated. The consumer had a right to be lieve this a few years ago. The mer chants did not guarantee their goods, and the consumer had no recourse. If the goods did not give satisfaction, the customer lost, not the merchant. John Wanamaker was the first merchant to put the responsibility on the merchant, not the consumer. His idea was that the customer must be satisfied. In order to do this he made one price to all and guaranteed his goods. To do this he made his prices right in the first place, and be cause he was making his merchan dise good, he was more careful in what he sold. Wanamaker's was a new idea, and the people refused to believe that it was not another way to cheat them. He resorted to advertising to con vince the public. This was forty years ago. Advertising is used for the same purpose today. Wanamak er succeeding in putting across his idea because it was the right prin ciple of merchandising. All reliable merchants gradually took it up. A mercharht who makes a state ment on paper that his goods are of a certain quality will be more likely to make them good, if they are not, than one who has not made such a written statement, the non-advertiser. We have already shown one rea son why the mail order houses have come into existence, because they of fered a variety of selection. Anoth er reason for their existence is that they guarantee absolute satisfaction or money back. Therefore the consumer who buys of an advertiser is more likely to be satisfied. RECEIVES SAD NEWS Last evening a message was re ceived here by Henry Ofe announcing ithe death yesterday noon at Oakdale, I Nebraska, of hl3 elder brother, Chas.

From Saturday's Dally. The local Ford agency is being rushed in an effort to keep In sight of the demand for the well known cars and is now almost half a hun dred behind with its orders, as the cars simply cannot be secured and the same condition prevails over the country as the demand this season for the Fords is greater than ever before. This shortage exists in the face of the fact that there are 7,000 Fords knocked out every day in the year and Hank is the only manufacturer in the country that is giving the stork any real competition, as there is one Ford manufactured for every three births in the nation.

Orson Stiles says they are booking community dates thick and fast now. Plattsmouth started something. The fight report service is highly appreciated by radio fans generally, who are enabled to keep in touch with ringside events thereby. We wish to again call attention to the artistic membership certificate in the World Radio church which may be secured free by application to Sta tion WOAW. The more band concerts we hear via radio the more favorably are we impressed with the fine music fur nished by the Eagles band of this city on July 9th. Let's Show Our Appreciation We can't, always afford to send telegrams, but we can drop a card to the artists on programs with which we are particularly pleased. 11 tnere Is enough demand for these, ETAO will take steps to have them suitably printed for filling in. Let us know your desires in this line. Murray Program Next The Murray community program comes next. This is sponsored by the Murray State Bank and will include a number or dance selections Dy tne Musical Merrimakers, together with piano, vocal and violin numbers and a couple of humorous readings by Mrs. Mellinger, mother of one of the boys in the orchestra. Remember, Thursday night, August 2 Murray night.. Hear Harding Via Radio Next Tuesday night, WOAW will broadcast an address of President Harding delivered at the auditorium in San Francisco. His voice will be relayed over the 1,200 miles of tele phone wire between the west coast and Omaha, direct to WOAW's broad casting room and there amplified. modulated correctly and sent into the air with the powerful 500 watt radio waves that will carry it to the far corners of the nation. The address will begin . about 8 o'clock Pacific time, which will make it 10 o'clock here. If you want, to hear the president tune in on WOAW for his address Tuesday night. Picking Them Up Now We are able to pick up WOC regu larly on their Wednesday night pro grams now. although, or course, re ception is not nearly so good as In the winter. Here is their summer time schedule of broadcasting: Sunday Church service, 8 p. m by First Christian church. East Mo- line. 111. Musical program by P. S C. orchestra and soloists, 9 to 11. Monday Band- concert by Daven port band, 9 p. m. Wednesday Pipe organ recital at 8. Late musical program (instru mental and vocal) 10 to 11, follow ed by Tourists' road report at 11. Saturday Dance program by P. C orchestra, 9:30 to 10:30. "The Voice of the South" - The Atlanta Journal. Station WSB has advanced its 7 o'clock broadcast ing hour to 8, on account of failure to ?get out" while it is yet daylight The 10:45 Radiowl schedule remains as heretofore. The Journal engi neers have rigged up a portable trans mitter, which, with , co-operation of the local telephone company, may be put into action in a matter of but a few seconds. This is used for out door "pick-ups" and has been used to record the recent Elks parade, daily baseball games, track meets, summer time celebrations, etc. Local receiving set owners should begin picking up WSB's late program here now satis factorily, as it was about the first of August last year when they began coming' in here, although their 500 watt station had been in the air for some two months before that time. We look forward with pleasure to again hearing Lambdin Kay. the big "Who-Who" of the Radiowls. "Pigtail" Connections In addition to the numerous ar tides of radio mechanism which we have dealt with in this department from time to time, perhaps the most delicate remaining parts of the ordi nary receiving set are the condenser and the variocoupler. Perhaps your set doesn't use the latter, but few do not have one or more "variables." If so, it is interesting to know the grief they can sometimes give. For in stance, dust, lint, etc. will gather on the plates if your set is net absolute ly tight, which most sets aren't. And this may cause part of the excess noises that creep into your earphones. Then, too, the plates, often become slightly bent and "short" during the revolving process incident to picking up the various stations. This will be easily discernible through a metalic- like clicking sound in the phones at the time they short. The worst trou ble with both condensers and coup lers comes from the so-called wiping contacts. . Often they become corrod ed and do not function properly. The most satisfactory results will always be obtained if all such connections are "pigtalled," or in other wards a flexible cord or cable soldered to both the rotor and stator sides of the Instrument. This will assure an even, undisturbed flow of the current so essential in radio ' reception and p..

If your back gives out; Becomes lame, weak or aching; If urinary troubles set in. Perhaps your kidneys are "In a bad way." Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak kidneys. Local evidence proves their merit. G. T. Archer, painter. Locust street, Plattsmouth, says: "As a rule all painters are bothered with dis ordered kidneys because of the fumes of the turpentine. This has always affected my kidneys when I have had Inside work to do. I have had to get up as often as every hour of the night to pass the secretions. Some times when going up or down the ladder, I would have quick fetitches take me in my kidneys that felt like needles. I have always found Doan's Kidney Pills a reliable medicine. A few always give me relief and keep my kidneys in good and active con dition. I wouldn't be without Doan's." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Archer had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. INTANGIBLES CON TINUE TO BE MIGHTY HARD TO LOCATE Despite the Assertion that Familiar ity with New Taxation Law Would "Bring Tin Out." The value of Intangible property re turned this year Is about $1,000,000 less than last year, contrary to pre dictions that the amount would grow from year to year when property owners learn that intangible prop erty is taxed at one-fourth the tax rate against tangible property. The reports of all counties except Deuel, Knox and Scottsbluff show a total of 2138,202,260. The same counties last year returned $139, 000,000. These figures are the full valuation, not one-fourth valuation. The state board of equalization with Governor Bryan absent, ordered a reduction of 20 per cent in the as sessed valuation of cattle in Burt county. As returned by the county board, the average per head as $44. 30. This is reduced to $35.54. Aver ages In nearby counties are: Cuming, $33.89; Cedar, $39: Colfax, $33.14; Cass, $32.11. Cattle assessed at $2,100 against J. E. Kirkwood of Lincoln in both Brown and Rock.. ..They. were. remov ed from Brown county April 10 for summer graring in Rock county. State Tax Commissioner W. H.

Biliousness and Constipation "For years I was troubled with biliousness and constipation, which made life miserable for me. My ap petite failed me. I lost my usual force and vitality.
