NEW YORK ROARS OVER CENSUS REPORT

New York is spiffed, peeved, and aggrieved. It is all because the government, census figures at Washington, give New York a population of but a mere 5,621,151, whereas all the boosters are ready to' wager that there are 6,100,000. ' It is nob dear how the 6,100,000 figure is arrived at, but 'this much is perfectly clear. - coming from Stewart Browne, president of the.

NEWSPAPER INK BEST SHIER

JESSE H. JOSEPH TELLS OF REAL VALUES TO ADVERTISERS. /The use of at least 75 per cent, of a retail store’s advetising expenditure for newspaper advertising was Advocated by Jesse H. Joseph, of the Joseph Advertising Agency, of Cincinnati, in an address on “Plan- > ning an Advertising Program for a Specialty Store,” at the retail advertisers’ conference at the Y. M. C. A. Monday afternoon. He said newspaper advertising is the cheapest and most elastic, and the kind that will produce the best results. The newspaper, he said, is the only advertising medium that is bought and paid for by the inhabitants. The other mediums were placed in the following order with reference to their importance: Motion pictures, direct mail advertising, billboards and miscellaneous. Mr. Joseph said properly conducted advertising campaigns are necessary to the success of the retail merchant. > ' He likened the arranging of an advertising campaign for' a retail store to the building of a house and said the merchant should exercise just as much care and give the subject just as much careful thought as he would* if he were preparing to build h home. He likened the store’s credit to the foundation, its good 'riahie’to the corner stone, its sales ss the framework for the support of the volume or roof and the sales

JERRY MALONEY SEEMS DESTINED TO GO UP

Jerry Maloney, a former student at St Joseph college and a son of Thomas Maloney of Wheatfield, seems destined to go up the baseball ladder of fame, judged from his recent slab exhibitions as a member of the Boone Grove team. Maloney was a star performer on the pitching slab during his school days at St Joe. Although but fifteen years of age at that time he gave promise of developing into a high class hurler. He is twentytwo years of age now and with his added age and experience seems ripe for a trial in fast company. Maloney has worked in five games this season for Boone Grove and has a clean slate. The average number of hits he has permitted his opponents has been very low and his effectiveness has been instrumental in placing Boone -Grove very much on the base ball map. He has decisions over the following teams as follows: Wheatfield, 1 to 0; Valparaiso, -2 to 0, 16 innings; Wheeler, 5 to 2; Valparaiso, 5 to 4, and one other giume, the score of which we do not have at hand. Maloney made a trip last week with the Valparaiso University nine through Michigan. Rainy weather permitted the playing of but two games, Maloney working in one of them. He had an off day and was removed in the sixth inning. It was his initial defeat of the season. The high class brand of hurling he is dishing up is certain to attract the attention of the scouts and another season will no doubt find him in some strong minor league. 20 per cent reduction on all ladies’ suits, coats and silk dresses. An opportunity to get a swell garment very low in price. Fendigs Fair. z
