MARCH 22.' 3015. - Nebraska THOMAS NOT "WORRYING ANY State Superintendent of Schools Ignores Action of Certain Mem bers of SchooJmaiters' Club- ISSUES LONG- STATEMENT (From Stuff Corres pondcnt) UNOOLX. March 21. (Special.) State Su;wrtntende nt A. O. Thomas is not worrying very much over the action of certain iwmbtra of the Schoolmasters' iul at the Omaha meeting last wrV-k and lb matter than to utterly Ignore It and ays he has no other desire regarding the matter than to utterly Irgore It and pay his attention to more Important things connected with the-educational Interests of the state of Nebraska, which le was elected by the people to look after. Kot Especially Comcersed. However, us a last word he, has this to say: "I am not especially concerned about thej Nebraska Schoolmasters' club. I have never been Invited to Join it and have never sought membership in It. There are among Its members some fine educators and .some warm ' personal friends of mine. I do not wish to criti cise the club, for It always seemed to me thnt any organisation of congenial souls vhould have a right to select Us own members. "It seems to me. however, that the cjub might be viewed a little, more kindly If it were a little moro demo- ratlc. Becret sessions and secret me thods of doing business on the part of educators have never appealed to me. Please understand, however, that I do iiot wish to meddle with anything that is not my affair. I have no enemlp 1 care to punish. I am gYateful to the jieoplo of Nebraska for the confidence they have expressed toward me. What Intcarrsteel In. "I am Interested tsolelv In the welfare of, the schools of the jftate. Before the legislature' meeta again lie people of Ne braska will spend njoout $25,000,000 for public education. They are doing thla almost wholly for the rising generation. These Interests are too vast and too sacred to 'be mixed up In any Personal eirife. , "My vindication at tiie recent election healed all . my bruises. I am reinstated in my profession. The olfice I hold pre sents a wonderful field for useful ac tivity, and I shall not be turned aside from the work to be done. I firmly be lieve that any person who will makto a public office a personal instrument la unworthy the confidence of the people." Opera House Block At Broken Bow is Burned to Ground BROKEN BOW, Neb..

It is only through tlie newspaper that he can get in touch with the great masses, embracing in each city and town all the possibilities there are in the way of magazine readers. Tho publishers of '.'The Ladies' Homo Journal" spent nearly thirty thou sand dollars advertising the March number of that pub lication in various parts of the United States, using one advertisement in each news papf.r. Isn't this a convincing tes timonial to the value of newspaper advertising? Could anyone ask for a lusher or more intelligent tributo to the newspaper as a medium for reaching the nuisces? Tlie magazyie pub lishers are clever business men. They are not always literary dreamers. They are money-makers and it takes a very clever business man to "put over" a successful magazine nowadays.

Now comes the automo bile manufacturer with abundant recognition of the newspaper as- a medium in which to reach the largest number of possible consum ers. During the time when the automobile was consid ered a high-priced luxury its advertising was confined largely to the magazines. But the nearer the automo bile gets to the. people the larger the use of newspaper space. In the matter of au tomobile advertising the newspaper is coming into its own. Just as soon as a com modity drops', to a price that is within reach of the larger bodys of consumers . the newspaper becomes the logi cal advertising medium. So long as the sale of a com modity is coufined to the "high spots" in a possible market, tho advertiser may confine his advertising to national mediums which go to a restricted class with high purchasing power.

' BELLEVUE STUDENTS HOLD TRIPLE RALLY IN" CHAPEL Prof. E. ti. Tula led a gran triple rally In .chapel at Bellene Friday morning, to eelehrate the successful closing of the basket hall season, to honor the track, team, which ran In tha Indoor meet Fri day', night and to rouse enUgysiusm for the Cotne-nel1evti Achate!" The basket ball team was first es corted to the platform and given nln rousing "raha," led by Anna Johnston of tho debate team. Next the basket ball team escorted the debate teams and Prof, Peters, the coach, to the places on th platform and Captain Oh man led th cheering for tt.a debaters. Ppeeclieg wcra called for from W.

Webb, president of the debaters' league, and Prof. Peters, Last, tha track team waa given the same treatment, snd the rally rlosed with a talk front Prof. Puis and tha singing of th college sr.ng, "The Purple and th.v Oold." being made for prices rang ing from three thousand . down to seven hundred dol- lars, with a constantly en larging field of purchasing possibility, the newspaper becomes a factor of distribu tion which the manufactur er cannot ignore. If a manu facturer is putting a. new automobile on the market he can get a certain amount of national publicity for the name, and with this he can establish a certain number of agencies in large centers of jopulation; but when it comes to any comprehensive wide-reaching plan of dis tribution he will have to have the co-operation of the newspapers to help his sell ing agents move the goods. It is one thing to sell a num ber of agents on the strength of a double-page flash in a national medium, and quite another thing to move the goods after the Agents have been "loaded." National publicity that hits tho "high spots" for a com modity that is within reach of the people is incomplete und inefficient unless backed up by newspaper advertis ing which leads the pur chaser right up to the door of . the dealer TRUMAN A.
