Expressing the Opinions of Successful
Business Men.
Why are your goods the best? your
advertisement should give the rea
sons. Mining Reporter, Denver.
Advertising must have some force,
some enthusiasm in it. It must have
straight facts about the business. It
must tell in one way or another why
it will be to the advantage of the pros
pective customer to trade at this
place. Trade Register.
Make your ads individualities; give
them a personality that will be recog
nized; put something intp them that
will draw attention to them every
time. That is the way to write el'
fective ads. Use short words and
short sentences; avoid entangling
clauses and phrases. Be brief, be
bright, be wise, be truthful and use
prfces first, last and all the time. Then
choose your media wisely. Brookllne
(Mass.) Chronicle.
Every day's advertising adds to the
advertiser's knowledge. Every day
he should know a little more about it
by correcting errors, by improving
here and ther , by talcing advantage
of opportunities and conditions as
they come up, he puts himeelf in post
tion to get results. Sacramento
(Cal.) Bee.
The future of a business that has
been established and built up by ad
vertising depends on the judicious
continuance of the advertising. Just
because a man has made a success,
made his name and goods famous
from Maine to California, he should
not try to economize on his advertis
ing appropriation or discontinue it al
together, believing that thereafter the
article will command a trade without
the use of printer's ink. It has been
tried time and time again and doesn't
work that way. The Advertising Man.
Robert H. Ingersoll, of New York,
sold over 1,000,000 watches of one
style last year. He was born and
raised in Michigan. Farming was not
to his liking and he started for New
York to make his way in the world,
He commenced canvassing offices as
a rubber stamp agent; later he had a
small stamp works; soon he added
novelties, and from this small begin'
ning he has increased until his firm,
R. H. Ingersoll & Bro., have a won
derful trade. They have a factory
emplyoing nearly 500 people. From
the first they have been persistent ad
vertisers. 'Hustler.

DASHED TO DEATH
Balloon Collapses, Gas Ex

BRAZILLIAN AERONAUT
MEETS TRAGIC DEATH.
His Wife Witnessed His Dreadful
Plunge From Out of the Sky Upon
the Pavements of Pars Bodies of
Both Men Mashed Out of All
Shape.
Paris, May 12. The tragic death
of the Brazilian aeronaut, Servero,
occurred early this morning and
shocked the people of Paris. Serv
ero, started from his balloon shed
about 6 o'clock this morning. The
balloon ascended easily and had
reached an altitude of 500 yards,
when a few pedestrians in the streets
saw a volume of gas escaping from
the balloon and the aeronaut stand
ing in his ship gesticulating wildly.
The next moment a frightful explo
sion occurred, the escaping gas ig
niting from the petroleum motor.
The balloon was blown to shreds and
its occupants, enveloped in flames,
fell like a shot to the stone pave
ment. The bodies of Servero and his
asslssant were dashed into a jelly.
Mme. Servero witnessed the tragic
death of her husband.
M'COMAS ON WHEAT.
Pendleton's Wheat Merchant's In
terview In a Portland Paper.
E. W. M'cComas, manager for Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho for the
Northwest Warehouse company. Is
in Portland from Pendleton looking
into matters pertaining to the wheat
conditions. Mr. McCgmas is regard
ed as a wheat expert for the inland
empire, and accorded the Portland
Journal a brief interview, in which
he said:
"In Umatilla county, which sup
plies between one-fourth and one
fifth of the wheat raised in Oregon,
the present conditions are encourag
ing. During the early weeks of
the growing season there was a lack
of moisture, and we feared the re
sults upon the output of wheat. La
ter rains have 'come, and they have
so brightened the prospects that
there is expectation of a good crop
"In Umatilla county, where, ap
proximately 5,000,000 bushels ' are
raised, only about Ifo.OOO bushels re
main unsold. Hence there is no
activity in the local markets at Pen
dleton. There will be none until the
new crop has been harvested and i3
ready for selling.
"As to general conditions in our
part of the state, every town is
growing; building proceeds up to
the limit of the ability of the dealers
to supply materials and the contrac
tors to secure workmen. The in
land empire is on the upgrade, with
latent resources being developed
rapidly. There is a great future for
that region, and that future is Just
now In sight, with its fine growth
and steady evolution of more de
sirable conditions."

How It Can be Told When a Man Is

It Is said a man is In love with a

If ho is perfectly willing to do any

If ho la able to toll without refer-
enco to notes what drcsB Bhe wor

If ho 11 wear anything In tho Una
of haberdashery which sho may bo

own hands
If ho stands around at balls and
parties with a look of unmitigated
gloom brooding over his beetling
brow, and following with his eyes her
every movement with a sort of dog
llko expression ho is either la lor
or his liver Is out of order,
If ho is willing to remain up until
