H- SELLER, Manager, MWMMMwtaMMMBM■■Mi“ * Hearst’s personally conducted "Independence party” must be, even in its small way, a pretty costly proposition. It is said that th e Indiana managers in order to show that they are earning their salaries, hired men from this state to attend tile “national convention” of Mr. Hearst’s party at Chicago.

The ABC and X Y Z of ADVERTISING A SERIES OF TEN TALKS ON ADVERTISING O written by Seymour Eaton of Philadelphia Xw O» O The owner of a retail hat store writes me to ask how to advertise hats. I don't know. I haven't thought much about hats. Ten to one I should do something revolutionary; perhaps advertise to buy the customer’s old hat. As a rule he is glad to get rid of it. Os course that would cut the profit in two, but then the sales would multiply by ten, or perhaps by fifty, and the store would get talked about. Perhaps I wouldn't do that at all. I make the suggestion simply to let this hat dealer know that if I owned his store I should get up and shake myself; make some sort of a noise; not stand around behind the counter leaning on everything, waiting for a customer who is six blocks away on the other side of the street going north to change his mind, come back, cross over, and by mere chance in his hurry notice that I have hats in my window. 5F Tell a hundred thousand men who wear hats and who buy two hundred thousand hats a year that you have the goods; the kind they are looking for. If that doesn't wake them up then give away a hat-band and a necktie and a pair of gloves; cram the hats full of ham sandwiches; do something. Your business is to sell hats, not store them. I have no patience with the retail dealer who depends on the sidewalk and the weather for his trade. But it isn’t necessary to be sensational; simply make readable news of your advertising. It is the business of the newspapers to distribute news and if I want a moderate priced stylish hat your advertising is ten times more interesting to me than the Associated Press dispatch that some galoot in Oklahoma or Texas hanged himself. Good advertising is news. Print this on the ceiling over your bed so that you will read it first thing every morning when you wake up. • Keep your eye on fashion. Fashion is today the biggest influence in the world; not necessarily the best influence; but the biggest. We don't control fashion; fashion controls us, Tt always comes down the pike with a whirl. When the storm breaks haul in your advertising canvas and stop buying. Fashion hurricanes are short-lived. (Copyright, 1908, by Tribune Company, Chicago.)

Times. He has many times demonstrated his ability in the fields of politics, and as chairman will organize the party into a winning organization. Here’s to Mr. Mack. U'M'H.-LLL-. — . A Democrat delegate to the Thirteenth district congressional convention made the statement that Hearst’s agent had offered Col. Conn $22,000 for the Elkhart Truth, and that the contract had been drawn ready for signing, but had not yet been signed. Col. Conn is on a pleasure trip in the west anj is enjoying himself. However, if he desires to get into the political game, it will only require a few days for him to get back home. The general impression that he will not accept the Hearst nomination for governor, even if it is tendered to him. —Columbia City Post.

B. and Presbyterian Sunday Schools Will Enjoy an Outing MAPLE GROVE PARK The Place—A Ball Game Will Be Played and a General Good Time ’That the officers of the various Sunday schools of the city arrange for the entertainment of their scholars each summer, is a fact calling for generous praise and appreciation. Several have already enjoyed their excursion trip and tomorrow, the Presbyterian and L’nited Brethren Sunday schools will jointly observe the annual event. It has been so arranged and it is predicted that several hundred people will accompany the religious organizations to Maple Grove Park tomorrow where a great time is in store. The United Brethren Sunday school and friends will leave at. 9 o’clock, while the Presbyterians will leave an hour later. All are requested to take their baskets to the interurban station some time before the car leaves.

THEPACKARDBAND Os Fort Wayne Will Play at Fair on Wednesday and Friday Afternoons , A GREAT ATTRACTION Wire Fence Will Be Placed Around Fair Grounds —Diminish Police Force

During the course of their meeting late last Saturday afternoon, the board of managers of the Great Northern Indiana fair association decided to engage the famous Packard band, of Fort Wayne to play on the afternoons of Wednesday and Friday fair week and possibly on Thursday. It is proper for the public to be apprised of the the fact that this attraction alone will cost the fair association eighy dollars and fifty cents each day th e band is here and this is only a reiteration of the fact that the fair people will leav e nothing undone that would tend to please the people. The Packard band is recognized as among the best in the state, It js composed of twenty-four men, all of whom are polished musicians and up to snuff in their profession and their music will be well appreciated by the patrons of the fair, there is no one thing that is a better drawing card to a fair than a good band and in view of this fact the board has wisely selected th e Packard. Negotiations are under way for the erction of a wire fence around the park with a barb wire on top. This is to be done to do away with the large expense in the way of policemen, it taking about 1300, each fair to pay for this stunt. A. J.

DeWitt & Co., Chicago, 111. —Dear Sirs—l have suffered more than twenty years from Indigestion. About eighteen months ago I had grown so much worse that I could not digest a crust of corn bread and could not retain anything on m.y stomach. I lost 25 lbs; in fact I made up my mind that I could not live but a short time, when a friend of mine •ecommended Kodol. I consented to try It to please him and was better in one day. I now weigh more than I ever did In my life and am in better tealth than for many years. Kodol did it. I keep a bottle constantly, and write this hoping that humanity may be benefitted.

COURT HOUSE NEWS Two Marriage Licenses Issued by County Clerk STILL VERY QUIET The Treasurer’s Office is After the Delinquent Taxpayer Two marriage licenses have been issued since Saturday and they to Davy Frank [Valnti, twenty-ones of Kendallville, and Bertha Rison, of of this city, aged eighteen; Dr. Charles Foglesang of this city, sixty-two, and Lydia A. Knight, also of this city, aged thirty-nine. Clerk Haefling left this morning for Indianapolis where he will attend to business for several days. The making out of pension papers is the principal business at the clerk's office this week. The treasurer's office is busy with the delinquent, notice being sent to them bearing the information that settlement or sale of their personal property will result. While Adams county is above the average in supplying the ever failing delinquent, yet it has its share. They will have to go some, however, to escape the vigilance of Treasurer Lachot and his deputies. The state authorities are determined to wipe out of existence the non-tax-payer, and their orders to the county officials makes their duties clear. WE GOT REVENGE Bluffton Ball Club Was Defeated by Close Score Yesterday BY THE LOCAL LADS Game Was Sensational—lt Was a Pitcher’s Battle Throughout We got revenge. Our old time rivals, the Bluffton ball club, wended their way to Decatur yesterday in a covered rig and before returning met defeat at the hands of th e locals in a well played game, the score being two to one. The game was called

promptly at two-thirty o'clock with Knapp and Scott as opposing pitchers. For four innings there was nothing doing in the score getting line, sensational plays and superb pitching preventing a single man from crossing the rubber, although both slabsmen pulled themselves out of dangerous positions. In the fifth, by opportune hitting, coupled with a base on balls, the locals pushed Wolford across the coveted counting territory and the crowd went wild. In the seventh Bluffton retaliated by securing a run and it looked like an extra inning game. However, the Decatur chaps put the timber on the sphere in the eighth for another tally which decided th e victory. "Hank” Knapp was in great form and probably pitched the greatest game of his career. The Bluffton infants were at his mercy at all stages and with the absence of two conspicuous errors, he would have scored a shutout with ease. The game was replete with sensational plays, Bluffton as well as the locals sharing in the honor and 1 itcher Scott occupied the center mound in a very creditable manner. Ellis, Coffee, Hayes, Bales and Wolford figured in the features. Umpire Stonebumer acquitted himself grandly with the exception of a questionable decision on first base, which by the way ,was very close.
