CIGARETTE ADVERTISING
We received a very flattering offer
through the mail this week. In fact
it is such a tempting offer that we are
going to let our readers in on it. This
is the letter:
March 13, 1915.
The Nebraskan,
Lincoln, N'ebr.
Gentlemen:
This company has just under
taken a large publicity campaign
for the Cigarette Company
and in order to introduce this
cigarette to your college we are
making you the following propo
sition: We will send you an advertise
ment as per copy enclosed here
with to be run in your paper to the
extent of $15.00 and we will pay
for same in Cigarettes at
the retail price of 25c per box.
This advertisement is to be
charged at your regular rate for
display advertising.
Our object in doing this, is that
you will have an opportunity to
sell these cigarettes in your col
lege and introduce them to smok
ers of tobacco.
If you will have a representative
of your paper call on all the local
dealers who supply your men with
their tobacco and obtain their
order for the Cigarette in
quantities of 100 or more we will
agree to spend with you in adver
tising one-third of all such cash
received to be paid for in cigar
ettes at the retail price of 25c per
box. This means not only on the
first order you secure but on all
orders from any dealers to whom
you Introduce the Cigarette
for a period of one year or until
March 1, 1916.
It is only necessary for you to
select a couple of live men and
send them out on this in order to
receive an advertising contract on
your paper. You may tell your
dealers further that their name
will appear In the paper at sup
pliers of the Cigarette.
Our Idea In making this offer
to you is simply to get you inter
, ested so that you will take the few
hours necessary to secure the in
troduction of this cigarette to your
college.
Your particular attention is
called to the schedule of prices as
outlined in the agreement here
with and we feel sure that after
trying the cigarette yourself you
will not hesitate to recommend it
to the dealers. It is a high class
smoke; distinctly a smoke for eol-
. lege men and after testing the
sample you need no further assur
ance of the merits of this pure
Turkish cigarette.
Trusting you will co-operate
; with us in putting the
Cigarette on the market, we re
main Yours for Verified Service,
MWT-R
Now while the finances of the Ne
braskan may 'not always be in the
best condition as yet we are not
"broke." We are willing to do any
thing reasonable to make both ends
meet but we draw the line at peddling
cigarettes. We extend our sympathy
to any college paper that has to go
into the cigarette business to pay out.
But the fact is that college papers are
approached on every hand with these
advertising schemes whereby some of
these outlaws may attain respectable
standing in the college community by
virtue of being advertised in the stu
dent paper. No, gentlemen, we decline
with thanks your flattering offer.
.Tones and the Massachusetts Society
deserve all praise for this Important
volume."

The Missouri Valley Tournament
will be held in Lincoln on May 14
and 15. when leading players from all
Valley Universities will be in attend

Ixniis last year, was well attended.
The Athletic Board will vote on the
question of supplying funds for the
care of the two University courts at
j their meeting Monday night. At pres-
art, the value of which will be in
creasingly evident as Copley recedes
more and more into the class of the
literally 'old' masters. To
artists perhaps the most significant in
formation obtained from these papers
is that which bears upon the repute in
which Copley was held by the greatest
artists of his day, while he was still
an American, that is before the date
of his departure from Boston in 1774.
Sir Joshua Reynolds is quoted
as saying: Your picture was univer
sally allowed to be the -best picture of
its kind that appeared. You
would be a valuable acquisition to the
art and one of the first painters of the
world.' Sir Joshua's remarks concern
ing Copley's contribution to the exhi
bition of 17C6 (a forerunner of the
Royal Academy annual) were echoed
by Benjamin West. But West's let
ters, numerous and lengthy, throw a
new light on his relations with Copley
and tend to bear out the feeling that
West's friendship had something sinis
ter in it. West had a way of scooping
prestige by 'fathering' the work of
young Americans in England. By his
express solicitation, Copley, who en
tered hts first British exhibit through
Joshua Reynolds (the best auspice pos
sible) transferred this confidence to
West. One can fancy how sleek Ben
jamin must have chuckled as he thus
easily wrested patronage from the
most distinguished of British artists
for the repression of the rlRing Amer
ican. It was the same gratuitous, but
clammy hand that Trumbull resented
and Gilbert Stuart calmly and amus
ingly spurned. West exposes himself
terribly In these letters. All the criti
cisms he can possibly frame he sends
across the water to impress Mr. Cop
ley with the fact that he has still
much to learn from him. Poor Ben
jamin! How time has leveled him.
"One of -the most entertaining of
the Copley letters 1b the one written
from Boston by the young colonial
painter asking kiotard 'the Turk' one
of the greatest of pastellists, for a set
of the 'best Swiss crayons.' ProX.
ent some work is benig done on the
courts while those desiring to play
have the privileges of the courts until
after the Athletic Board have decided
upon their action. Last fall the courts
were looked after by the- players them

Lfootball field.
Students Arrested
Three Sophomores and aJE, G. of
the University of Illinois were arrested
in Champaign one day last week,
charged with train flipping. Three of
the men pleaded guilty and were flnel
$5.50 each! The P. G., however, as
serted that he was not on the train
and has been released on bis own
recognizance.
The Dally IllinI sas there seems to
be, In Champaign, an epidemic of train
jumping. A few days ago a man was
arrested on a similar charge and fined
$5 and costs in the Champaign court,
and then taken to Urbana and given a
fine of $25 and 30 days on a state
charge.
