Supporters of the foot ball team ot the

ot indefinite delay a band of Omaha

which will bring Oak Park High school ot
Chicago hero next Thanksgiving day.
Oak Park High school of Chicago has
for several years boen king of the Inter
scholastics foot ball World. That school
has turned out teams which swept all be
fore, east and west. But never has Oak
Park played Omaha, and thero tho alumni
got to work.
H will cost something over (00 to pay
expenses for Oak Park to come to Omaha
next fall. If tho weather la favorable
that $500 would bo but a small percentage
of the gato receipts, but If the weather is
not favorable $500 would be much larger
than the gate receipts. Thus a method to
obtain that 9500 was. Inaugurated.
Petition Circulated,
Petitions aro being circulated around
Omaha for business men, graduates ot
the high school or any Omaha Inhabitant
to sign. With that slgnaturo Is tho num
ber ot ttckots Which the signer will pur
chase previous to tho contest, so that
weather will not enter Into the obligation.
After an amount surpassing 1500 has been
petitioned tho alumni will collect the
money as fast as possible, put It In the
bank nnd then pay Oak Park's expenses
regardless of anything else.
Lester Heyn has promised to contribute
heavily toward tho expense money and
promises that he will see to It personally
that tho Oak Park team Is entertained in
a manner that will surpass any other en
tertainment any foot ball team ever re
ceived any time. Tate Matters la tickled
over tho plan and assorts that he will

NEW YORK, Feb. l.-Tho interna

Bennett cup this year will bo started
from Kansas City, Mo., on October 6.
Tho contest committee of the Aero club
of America awarded tho race to tho
Kansas City Aero club, which agreed to
offer $7,300 In prizes, frco gas to tho en
trants and to mako all arrangements for
handling tho event. Tho Aero Club ot
America had tho privilege of making;
tho award by virtue of tho victory of
Ralph Upson, American, In tho Inter
national race from Paris last year.
Upson, in tho balloon Goodyear, landed
p England after covering approximately
400 miles In forty-three houra and twenty
minutes.
Upson and Captain II. E. Honeywell,
tho American pilot who finished second
In tho 1913 International ovent, will bo
offered the opportunity of being two of
the United States team of three to enter
the 1914 race, It was announced by Alan
R, Hawley, chairman of tho committee.
As Upson and Honeywell outdistanced
all their foreign rivals last year, tho con
test committee considered they earned
tho right to represent their country at
home It they desired to do so.
Tho third member ot the United States
team has not been selected as yet. The
commltteo sent out notices to all licensed
pilots In tho country asking whether they
favored holding a natonal race prior to
tho International ovent. If such a raco
Is held, tho winner will be the third
American entrant at Kansas City. Other
wise tho committee will select tho aero
naut whoso" equipment appears to bo tho
best for the compaction.
Entries to. tha International raco must
be received by the Aero Club ot America
by March 1 next Mr. Hawley said tho
commltteo expects ten or a dozen bal
loons to enter. To obtain permanent
possession of the Bennett cup, a country
must win three consecutive International
races. Twice tho United States has won

The contest started with the Mageo &
Deemers taking the lead which they man
aged to hold during tho early part ot

loopholes In the Haberdashers' defense

"Talks on Newspaper Advertising"
By TRUMAN A. DE WEESE, (Box 82, Buffalo, N. Y.)
"Where an article can be pur
chased by only a small per

sible to give it national fame
through the magazines, but
oven then it is necessary to

through newspaper adver

OPINION ABOUTTO CHANGE
Public's Regard for White Hopes
Becoming More Plausible.
RECOGNITION COMES HARD
AH of the Ex-Chnmplona Met with
Innumerable Dtfficnlttea Before
the Fnna negnriled Them
Serloualy.
NEW YORK, Feb. l.-Slgns nro not
wanting that' public opinion Is about to
undergo a change In regard to the relu
tlve merits of our white hopes and tho
fistic warriors who preceded them. The
question has suddenly become the lead
ing topic In sporting circles all over the
country.
A year ago thero was no question to
.discuss. Opinion was all one way. There
was none to bo found so reckless as lo
uphold the opposite View even long
enough to start an argument. But within
the lOBt week "or two many of the leading
boxing authorities are beginning to liedgo.
Tho opinion Is gradually forming that
the struggling heavlca have been too
harshly criticized. In some-cases at least
There Is a general tendency to delve Into
the past for the purpose of making com
parisons. It Is recalled that all the old
stars had considerable trouble obtaining
recognition. Corb'ctt was laughed at for
daring to meet Sullivan. Fitzslmmons was
thought crazy to tackle Demsey. Jeffries
was hooted out of New York on his
first appearance hero on account of his
excessive awkwardness, and Johnson vas
long termed a Joke, fighter with a yellow
streak as broad as nts back.
It was also recalled that as a rule tho
old set of rlngmen were an Intemperate
lot given to spending their earnings over
the bar. Under such conditions it was a
physical impossibility for them to show
perfect form, oven though they con
formed to the standard of the time. II
all probability this standard was .much
lower than that ot the present and ac
counts In a great measure for the pre
vailing Impression regarding their great
superiority.
Btg Fights Were Scarce.
In those days big fights were "scarce
and far apart. There was no chance for
excessive familiarity to breed contempt
There waa no such host ot clubs as thero
Is at present, with bouts every night In
the week. The fans were not surfeited
with boxing, and consequently wero moro
easily satisfied and Impressed with what
took place, Just as the fans In the small
towns at present are Impressed with the
work of two second raters, who' would
not cause a ripple of excitement In any
large city.
The popular remark that our leading
white hopes are merely awkward dubs
without a vestige of fighting ability U
wrong on the face of It. else how account
for Gunner Rawles and his kind? Pre
sumably the latest victim ot Bombardier
Wells possessed the full quota of arms
and legs. Ho must be a fairly healthy,
husky person If nothing else.
duct unless that national
publicity can be converted
into actual sales through
localized, -intensivo newspa
per advertising!.
Tho newspaper id the most
important factor in Distribu
tion, because it completely
covers the consumer possibil
ities within the radius of its
circulation. It reaches both
the dealer and the consumer.
It has a stimulating effect
upon the Distributor the
man who is selling tho goods.
The enterprise of tho adver
tiser, as shown in his adver
tising, is infectious. The
dealer "catches" it from his
local paper. It secures his
interest and co-operation. If
properly directed it will ed
ucate tho dealer regarding
tho "talking points" that lio
behind a product. It im
presses tho dealer with the
necessity for stocking up
with tho goods.

"Chi" Registration '
List Above Gotham's
CHICAGO, Feb. l.-Women wilt havo
their first opportunity In Chicago next
Tuesday to qualify as voters at perioral
elections, and election officers assert that
tfio Chicago registration will exceed that
of New York City, If all tho eligible place
their names on the polling lists before tho
municipal election April 3. There aro now
437,340 voters registered in Chicago, In
cluding 2,500 women Hated under tho old
law that permitted them to vote for school
trustees. Whllo femalo politicians aro
holding rallies to obtain tho registration
of as many women as thero are men
voters. Wllllsm II. Stuart, chief clerk of
tho election commission, figures that tho
tbtal women voters will not exceed halt
the number ot males.
This would bring tho total number of
voters to about 050,000. Thero will be a
second registration day on March 17, and
tho polling books have been prepared for
an ultimate total of 750,O. Tho total
number of voters on tho rolls In New
York City at tho last mayoralty election
was 690,000. Most of the men In Chicago
will not have to register anew this spring.
ing should not only havo
"nows" value, but it should
have a timeliness that ap
peals to human interest. It
should be as interesting and
instructive to readers as any
editorial or nows story in tho
paper. If it isn't, how are
you going to attract the at
tention of readers! If you
aro advertising in a newspa
per that enjoys tho 'confi
dence of its readers a pa
per that is a true tribute of
tho peoplo you must not
fail to take full advantage of
that relation by gradually
appropriating tho good will
and confidence of the paper
through "honest advertising
and honest merchandising.
The newspaper is the livo
wire of industrial and polit
ical activity. It is tho "motion-picture"
of civilization.
The advertiser should get on
the film that is reeled off
each day in the white light
of tho world's publicity. Ho
must have a message each
day that is vibrant with life
and so vivid in its appeal tt)
human interest that no read
er can skip it or overlook it.
