Today the counsel submitted depositions taken by the Judicial inquirer In Riga prov ince, Russia, which counsel believe will establish their contention that the offenses which Pouren Is alleged to have committed murder and arson wero perpetrated with criminal intent and that his defense of revolutionary activity Is-not a valid one.

Test No, 7 Of a series of Ten tests which an advertiser should apply to every advertisement before he publishes it. The complete set mailed upon addressing John Lee Mahin 125 Monroe St, Chicago The men who lead the masses all possess one distinguishing characteristic. No matter how illogical are their arguments or how fallacious are their conclusions, they are confident in their affirmations. v f An authoritative tone must be assumed and, , maintained by the advertiser at all times and in all conditions. It is impossible for an advertiser to inspire' ; confidence in others without possessing it himself, and unless advertising is awarded the reader's con- fidence, the advertiser is wasting his money. Yet too wanton an exhibition of confidence is dangerous. The advertiser must keep in close touch w ith the pulse of the public and know how much the people will stand in this line. While everybody unconsciously acknowledges leadership to others in many ways in their daily contact with their fellow men, no one is happy in the consciousness of being forced. The results of newspaper advertising depend upon voluntary actions on the part of free people, and threats, scares, or pessimistic . utterances will never make friends or customers. Public service corporations should educate the public to the many advantages they offer. They could overcome much current prejudice against monopolies and add greatly to their popular ity by asking jthe people for their patronage ' in a pleasing manner, without in any way sacrificing their confident or authoritative standing. Optimism is a wonderful confidence-inspiring tonic. The optimist, who is, tempered by self-control, makes the best advertiser. An advertiser who in pessimistic tones con tinually decries competition, and insinuates that the people themselves cannot be trusted, destroys con fidence and will not command a large success. Let your advertising be authoritative not the self assertiveness of the bully but express a well regulated, optimistic, spirit of confidence.

WHAT THE WOMEN ARE DOING Why tho Old Haa Kicked. Senator Bailey ssys that not long ago a general merchant In a town In northeast Texas waa waiting upon an aged farmer in his store when the old man pointed at a 'quartet of Ice cream freezers. "What are they 7 he aaked. "Ice cream freesers." explained the mer chant. "Want one? They're only 12." "Ice cream freesers." mused the old roan. "They freese milk, don t they? Will they freese anything else?" "Sure," said the storekeeper. "Freese water?" aaked the old man. In terested. "Freese anything liquid," said the store keeper, laughing. The old man paid for one of the freesers and drove away. Three days later he returned. His beard was bristling with Indignation and he eyed the merchant fiercely. "You're a robber," he aald. Tha merchant gasped.
