THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: WKDNKSDA V. MAY fi. 1008. it i T('i!!i' h, "Fits Like Your Footprint" BURGLARS PERFORM TWO JOBS Get Sixty Gold Watches at Mawhinney & Ryan Store. VISIT MILLER, STEWART A BEATON T Break ri(e Cilaaf Window at Jmflrr - Hoanc rrllh Racket o Trace of Criminals, Who Are Con sidered PrlrlniU. Two daring btirglarirs were committed early Tuesday morning In the heart of the downtown disirlit. From the show w!ntlnw of (he Mawhin ney A Ryan Jewelry store, aou'heaat cor ner of Ftft'enth and IVniglss streets, sixty gold watohea were stolen. The furniture tore of Miller. Stcwnrt &. Beaton. 413-17 Boutli filxteenth street, waa ranpmkcil. all the desks and drawera piled open, but nothing valuable taken. Mawhinney A Ryan had the alxty gold watchea displayed In a Douglas street win dow. The burglars broke the r'ate glass with n buck 't. making a hole about ten Indie square. The value of the Watches wasfcbout JfiOO. They were Insured ngalnst loss by burglary. Entrance was effected to the Miller, Stewart ft Poaton sloro through one of the doors, the jile glass having evidently been kicked In. The store was ransaiked. Eight desks on the first floor belonging to sales men were broken Into and the content scattered over tho floor. Tables and chairs were overturned. In the office on tho bal cony of the flrat floor all the drawers were pried open and papers and books acattered on the floor. In one drawer were some checks, but these were left. From the pri vate office of Mr. Miller a box of cigars was taken. The burglars would have mad a rich haul in the office had they been prepared for safe blowing, aa there was several thousand dollars cash In the safe. No Cine to Bnralarn. There Is no clue to the burglars. The po lice are satisfied that they are old hands at the profession. The daring manner In which they operated and the skillful man ner in which the- avoided everything that might lead to a clue confirms this belief. Also the robbers were favored by most amazing good luck. The crash of a bucket upon a thick plate glass at one of the prin cipal business corners of the city In the stillest hours of the night failed to arouse anyone and the burglars had plenty of time deliberately to take out the watches and escape. N "It la a great mistake on the part of jew elers to leave so great an amount of val uables In their show windows at night," said Chief of Tollce Donahue. "In this window there was $600 worth of watches, with no other protection than the window glass. There are too many men going around hungry who are desperate and very willing to take chances for auch a sum as that."

Once upon a time there was a fool hen who sat on a china doorknob for three weeks expecting to get a family. The only thing she did get was experience. The advertising field is full of "china doorknob proposi tions" examples of merchants who expect good newspapers to hatch money out of bad egg business, or who put sound nest eggs under the wrong "advertising hen." There are three principles to follow in advertising cam paign: First of all, find a business that will stand advertising; secondly, find the newspaper that will make the advertising pay; thirdly, give the newspaper time to pay. You can't start in to breed dollars in less time than it takes to hatch them any more than you can pull a hen off the nest before she has had a chance to incubate. In both cases you simply waste wha't has been invested. If you stop too soon you will get a rotten egg instead of a chicken. f Advertise something out of which you may reasonably expect returns and when you have found what to advertise, take care that you place your copy in a newspaper that can turn tho trick. Don't delude yourself with a china doorknob, and don't confuse a "rooster newspaper" which epens its time cock-a-loruming, for a "hen newspaper" that is too busy hatching out dollars to strut about crowing. -Copyright, 108, by Tribune Company, Chicago.)
