SOUTH DAKOTA CITIZENS WOULD

Old Church Still Stands Today.
The people of South Dakota who

Ita way clear to make an approprla
tlon for establishing a state park on

Nothing now remains at the fort
save the old church , which baa aoor
pioneer daya and frontier llfo that

Hcenea of the early days , when the
old fort , echoing the tramp , tramp

thla point and no further did th

TRUSTING TO FATE.
Ail Incident Tlmt CSIvc * nn Inilglit
Into Kninluii Character.
A few years ago 1 was taking a
country walk In ICovuo. The road lay
through a dense forest , and the day
was oppresshely hot. I arrived at last
nt a crossroad and sat down under the
Bhndc of the trees to rest. A signpost
pointed Its two arms down the con
verging roads. On one of them was In
scribed " 14 versts to Jnuova , " on the
other " 17 verets to Shadowa. " Present
ly the creaking of wheels and the alow
"clop , clop" of a horse's beefs on the
road behind roused me. A cart piled
high with tinware was coming down
the road , with the driver perched on
the top of the load.
"Good day , brother , " I called out aa
the cart with Ua sorry horse , ycarno
abreast of me. The man returned my
salute , and the horse , glad of any ex
cuse to rest his weary legs , came to a
standstill In the diddle of the road.
"Which way are you going ? " I asked.
"To Janova. There Is a market there
tomorrow. "
"But there is also a market In Sba
dowa , " I answered , "and it Is a more
Important place than Janova. "
"So It Is , so it Is. " the driver replied
with perfect Indifference.
"What have you for sale ? "
"Plenty of good tinware , na you can
ace , brother I have worked for alx
weeks to make this cartload. "
"Well , good luck to you and your
tinware , " I said , pulling nnd cntlng the
berrlea within reach. "Will you take 1
to Jnuova or Shadowa ? "
The man picked up the bit of cord
which served aa reins and prepared to
go on.
"I shall leave that to my horse , " he
answered callously.
The lumbering wagon moved off and
finally passed out of tight down the
Jnnova road , which the horse had elect
ed to take. St. James' Gazettn.
Are You Satisfied With the Bus
ness You Do ?
Thcro are few business men who
would not Increauo their trade If they
could devise means to do It. Any
nan would bo willing to pay a per
centage of the Increased profit lor tlio
aake of maintaining the now atlmu-
UH. It la a rare bualucaa man who
would not gladly lilro an additional
ttalcanmn or solicitor If , hy BO doing ,
that salesman or solicitor would In
crease the hulk of business BO much
that the added proflta would pay the
.iiiluri of the now man and leave sur
plus cash for the bouse.
A good salesman or a good solicitor
la one who , by his skill In presenting
the selling polntu of the gooda at bund ,
IB able to make sales which otherwise
would not be made. If a high-salaried
salesman did not soli things which ,
wore It not for his presentation , would
not otherwise have been sold , ho
would earn no more money for his
employer than an ordinary fellow.
And If It wore not possible to make
people buy things which , but for the
tmlcHinaa's work , they would have loft
unpurchased , then the simplest child
would bo as valuable In a store or in
an agency , as the cleverest and most
experienced professional. ,
An advertisement Is merely a sales
man or a solicitor , which talks to aov
oral thousand people at the same time.
An advertisement , like a human
.salesman , may ho so clover that it
will create a demand for the goods
and wonderfully increase the Bales ;
or it may be so commonplace , so un
skilled and so devoid of effective pres
entation that what it says will appeal
to none.
Advertising Has Come to Be a Sci
ence and a Fine Art.
An advertisement must contain rea-
ons why the reader will find It to his
dvantage to buy the articles advor-
ised. An advertisement must bo no
lore nnd no less than a printed con-
citation , such as the salesman would
peak if he wore talking , earnestly
nd seriously , to a prospective buyer ,
t can not ramble if It is to bring re-
ults. It can not cover , In the same
ine , two separate articles any more
ban a salesman dare try to sell , In
he bame breath , two different things ,
t must be clean-cut ; rid of superflu-
) iis literature ; sharp , definite and con-
'incing.
No ad. will pay which Is not so writ-
en as to create a demand for the ar-
icle or articles advertised. Every ar-
iclo advertised should bo set off , like
i newspaper article , in a department
of Its own , with a head-line calling at-
ention to it and with Its every selling
point brought out and exhausted just
is completely and as thoroughly as is
ils story written hy a newspaper re-
) orter.
An Ad is News.
Every ad. la news , in its way. And
t must be written in just as Interest-
ng a manner as Is the news with
which it must compete for favor , on
the same page. It must bo clever
enough to attract the attention of the
prospective buyer. Magazines today
are as thoroughly read in the advertis
ing pages as they are In the story
pages , for the reason that the ads. are
news , Interestingly conceived.
The Heading Is All-Important.
The heading of an advertisement ,
the smaller the more true , la all-im
portant in the results which are to
bo gained. The heading must be so
worded as to attract the attention of
the person who la Interested In that
particular and who , therefore , may
prove a buyer. A person afflicted with
sere foot will grasp at any tiny adver
tisement whoso headline Indicates that
there Is relief to bo found for those
pedal extremities. Likewise a housekeeper -
keeper will follow down the wording
of any ad , which , In the bold-faced
head , Indicates bargains for her de
partment be It flatlrons , groceries ,
hot doughnuts or what not
CUTS , for this reason , are valuable
features of any ad. 'They Inatantly
show the line of goods that are dls
cussed and attract the attention of the
desired ones. And a cut , for thla rea
son , must pertain to the article ad
vertised , and must , in Itself , be able
to display points In the article which
will create a demand for It. Any shoo
cut , for Instance , will denote that the
nd. tells about shoes. But If the cut
Is a picture of a well shaped , stylishly
made , substantial ahoo. It will have a
tendency to create o demand for that
particular shoo , Just as would the
words of a salesman who took time to
say that the shoe was of fine ahape ,
up-to-date , hand-sewed and durable.
The so-called "catchy" headings
( which many business man have writ
ten over their ads. , men who have re- .
celved no returns nnd quit Investing
In space because "It didn't pay , " are
not effective. The reason Is evident.
The general render , who "perhaps reads
the Ilrat few lines from pure curloalty ,
quits In disgust. And very frequently
the person whom It Is desired to In
terest , will never look at the ad. because -
cause It does not Interest him at the
outset. On n newspaper , the greatest
care Is taken to wrlto headlines which
vill , nt the first glance , give the gist
of the whole story. If it Is a baseball
article , therefore , the fan knows It
it once and will road It The politi
cian will pass by. Dally papers pay
argo salaries for exports who do noth
ing but wrlto theeo headlines. But
in advertiser will often head his dis
cussion with a line which says "Cold
Weather la Coming , " when It should
have been "Do You Need an Under
shirt ? " The man in need might nnd
might not care whether cold weather
ho will read the lines that follow Just
was coming or not It Is a clm-lt
though , that If ho needs an undershirt" *
to see what sort of bargain ho can se
cure. If ho does need an undershirt
or If it happens to bo a dentist's ad
that tells him his aching tooth can uo * * " *
pulled painlessly ,
He Will Visit the Advertiser.
When ho has done that , the ad. haa
done Its work. It Is then up to the
clerks or the dentist to sell him every
thing in the building that ho can pos
sibly use. If they fall to do that , It
Is now salesmen that are needed and
not a different method of advertising.
If nothing but the goods advertised / '
were sold as the result of an ad. , then
that nd. surely would not pay. It Is
the profit made from additional sales , j
after the buyer has been attracted to J
the store which j
Makes Advertising Pay.
That Is the reason why leaders cau
bo offered , even at cost or perhaps at
a loss , nnd still net the advertiser a
margin on the transaction. That is
why special sales pay , oven though
the specials are cut to bed rock. That
is why advertising all of the time , ev
ery day and every day , and with al
ways something newsy , clever , attrac
tive to the taste and the purse of the
reader , can be made to pay and to
pay well. It stands to reason that ad
vertising MUST NOT BE SPASMOD
IC if It Is to bring the best results.
If a baseball column In a nowspajer
was printed but once a month , it Is
easy to see why "fans" would not look
to that column when it did , periodical
ly appear. It logically follows that a
housewife will not look at a certain
corner of the paper today for clothes
pin bargains , If that corner contained
bargains but three times within a
year. The readers must be trained to
expect to find ads. worth locking at ,
before they will take the time to do
it
The People to Reach.
The people to reach , advantageously ,
aie those who can get to the advertis
er , either by mall or in person , to take
advantage of the articles mentioned.
Advertisers in Norfolk naturally de
sire to reach eveiybody In the city , all
of the farmers within a driving dis
tance from the city and other persons
In tributary territory who may visit
Norfolk.
To the end of covering this Identical
field , The News has been working for
years. It now does cover this field
very thoroughly every day In the year.
The rural routes out of Norfolk , ot
which there are five today , are reached
by The News just as effectually and aa
thoroughly as are the homos in the
city. The farmers around Norfolk
read The News every day in the week
Just as they used to read weekly pa
pers. Their papers , containing local
and telegraph markets and news , are ,
delivered at their doors every day.
There Is no business In the world
which cannot bo stlumlated by adver
tising. It will not only gain new pa
trons but It will Increase the patronage
of former ones. Advertising la not
a venture. If used Judiciously and
aystematlcally It is bound to bring re
sults. There la no other way out of
it. It Is a commodity in which tha
business man invests for the sake of
getting more out of It than ho puts
Into It. It Is paying one dollar for the
purpose of making two or three and
many times more than that. '
It Has Come to Stay.
The uncertain period of advertising
has passed. As a business getter It
haa come to stay and it Is growhjg
more nnd more essential. Local Sf-
vertlslng will pay In any community ,
largo 'or small , if It is done on a sci
entific basis. Done In haphazzard
fashion , it la now , always has been
and nlwavs will bo a waste of money.
The business man who advertises In
the right way , Is bound to Increase hia
business. The business man who Is
not content to run a'long , year after
year , In the same channel nnd never
grow In trade , will find advertising the
surest , quickest and most dependable
method of satisfactory growth. And
newspaper advertising Is the most
economical In the world today because
through this medium more people nnd
more territory can bo reached , and In
an Interesting way nt that , than In
any other method that can be devised.
