ADVERTISING IS AN ASSET Convention lie More llanlnras Than Waa Km peeled and A IH ItolU Over I ntll Fri day Morning. Advertising working in conjunction with an effective sales plan Is the key to modern commercial surcpts," said A. 1. Gale of the Darlow Advertising agency In an address before the Mld-'e: Imple ment Dealers' association. A few years ago, 'Does It pay to ad vertise?' was an actual question," said Mr. Gale. "Today there are more busi ness men who say they can't afford to do without advertising than there arc those who express any doubt whatever on the same question. "Advertising has put the name 'Monnen' In the mind of practically every person in the country. As a result, Mrs. Men ben Was offered several million dollar;! for the name alone and refused it. Every dollar that the Cudahy racking company has put into the advertisement of 'Old Dutch Cleanser,' Is considered an asset. The Cudahy plants may be de stroyed by fire, but you can't kill their business In 'Old Dutch Cleanser,' unless you take away from them the name and trademark. Constant advertising creates confidence In goods. The mall order houses aie ahead of the implement dealer and the Implement manufacturer In their use of advertising. It is tho mastery ot scientific salesman ship on paper that made it possible for Bears, Roebuck & Co. to take In $73,000,000 last year." Farmers Have Money. Mr. Gale said the rural districts are an especially good field for advertising, as the farmers have more money than any other class of cttlsens and are now buy ing bathtubs, heating plants and auto mobilesluxuries that they didn't think of a few years ago. A canvass of 90.000 farmers by a farm paper ot the middle west, said Mr. Gale, disclosed the fact that tho average annual Income of these farmers last year was JJ,10, not Including the food they used on their own tables. J. A. Craig, a manufacturer ot Junes- vllle, Wis., addiessed the dealers on "The Relation of the Manufacturer to the Re taller." C. M. Johnson of Rush City, Mlrm:, who was to have talked on "Cost Accounting," was unable to be present fend the subject will be discussed by others Thursday morning. Senator G. M. Hitchcock will speak Thursday morning on "Business and Politics." Owing to the amount ot business to be disposed of the convention, which was to have closed Thursday night, will con tinue through Friday. Laborer is Fatally ' , Injured at the New Flatiron Building Tony Buca, employed In the construe' tlon of the Pasco building at Seventeenth , and St. Mary's avenue, was fatally In Jured when he attempted to run under an I elyevator at 7 o'clock yesterday morning The elevator, which was descending, war I lpaded with waste wood and struck Buca on the head, crushing his skull and break ing his Jaw. Buca was taken to St Joicph's hospital, where he was attended by Police Surgeon T. T. Harris. Dr. Harris said there was no hope for tho ' man, and ho would probably dio before evening. Buca was working on a mixer with sev eral other merr, when he left to get an other sack of cement. Just before he reached the elevator shaft R. B. Warth nab, the engineer, received the signal tc drop the elevator. Not seeing Buca about to go under the elevator he dropped the apparatus.

OMAHA EPITOMIZES ASSETS Corn Being Rushed to Omaha Market by Rural Holders While Omaha dealers are 2 cents a bushel above the Chicago market price, Nebraska farmers are rushing their new corn from the fields to market as fast as they can. Instead ot declining with the arrival of pew grain, corn prlcfs have been advancing on the Omaha exchange. The current price is 66ijf$7c a bushel for new corn, compared wJtli',70,4 cents for old crop. : , , Very little of the new grain has ap peared In Omaha, but It is eolng into country elevators at a rapid rate. The Beal-Vincent company alone, at one small country station, took In 2.D00 ' bushels of corn Tuesday and has contracted for 25.000' bushels to be delivered within ten days. Nebraska's crop this year will be worth a couple of million dollars more than the same quantity of grain in other states is worth, due to the superior quality of the Nebraska product.

By simply saying "Gold Medal," you make certain of getting the best flour ever milled. Here is one of tjie proofs: Gold Medal Flour, in the test of time, has come to outsell all others. Millions have made their comparisons. As a re- suit, 24,000,000 folks daily are now fed on the bakings of Gold Medal Flour.
