let one meet ouc of tho membors of tho police force and ho

Med ford is continually filled with strangers who nat

By all means let tho police force bo uniformed. Let
Mcdford cease to boast of her metropolitan airs until it is

OOOKS could be written about the power of persisloit
cy in advertising.
It is a subject of which the advertising enthusiast never
grows weary.
The other day an advertising man was talking to a well
known merchant. Naturally the conversation drifted to
business-getting methods.
This reminded the wholesaler of some follow-up let
ters he had received from an eastern manufacturer. He
showed them to the advertising man, saying: "What do
you think of them?"
The advertising man read them over and vouchsafed
the opinion that they were pretty good.
"Pretty good! "Well, I guess they arc!" replied the
wholesaler. ' 'If you want to know just how they are I will
tell you.
"Those people have been sending me letters now for
several months. I didn't pay much attention to them at
first, but finally I became interested in them. I certainly
admired their persistency. In fact, I admired it so much
that the other day I sat down and sent them an order for
a large amount of goods."
Mighty strong argument on the persuasive force of
sticktoitiveness, isn't it? A striking illustration for the
man who expects to build up a business on a one-time ad
vertisement. The merchant who stays with the advertising day after
day and year after year is the one who wins the prizo mon
ey. It isn't necessary that he write follow-up letters, but
it's essential that he make use of the columns of the daily
newspaper.
The late Mark Twain's story of the spider is apropos
at tins point. Twain was a newspaper man during several
years of his life and was a strong believer in advertising.
While addressing an association of advertisement writers
one day, he said:
' 'It pays to advertise. "When I was editing the Virginia
City Enterprise, writing copy one day and mining the
next, I tried to force this truth in many ways.
"A superstitious subscriber one day wrote and said he
had found a spider on his paper; was this good or bad
luck? 1 replied to huu in our answers-to-correspondents'
column as follews: i
tt tm,l a,, K.. :i,.. mi. . . t -i
viu. Kjuuaunuuj. iue iincung 01 a spicier in your copy
of the Enterprise was neither good luck nor bad. The
spider was merely looking over the pages to find out what
merchant was not advertising, so it could spin its web
across the door and lead a free and undisturbed existence
forever after.' "
It is wonderful, when -you stop to think of it, that you
ean talk to every thinking man and woman in your city
every day. You can do this very thing. It is made possible
through the daily newspaper, a modern institution that for
greatness ranks with the telephone, tho telegraph and
the electric railway.
You can't expee'e a salesman to solicit business from
more than a few d.ozen people a day at best, and yet,
through newspapers and magazines, you can solicit trade
from millions of .'people in the same length of time, if you
so choose.
Every intelligent American will sooner or later make
a study of advertising, because every man who would suc
ceed must know about advertising. It is the most power
ful force of moriern business. Its field, has only been pros
pected. Its possibilities are unlimited.
C. Pollnrd, tho greatest traveling

worth about 3Ge, but yot It wnu too
flno for a nocro to tako a drink, nnd
on tho same- morning I was roftiBcd

that thoro nro but threo onloons In
town where a negro can got a drink.
Nobody but fools could stay horo,
nnd they but a short tlmo. So tho
snmo night I canto out tho saloon
door nnd asked n policeman what ho
thought about It. DM ho think tho
law allowed a man who had a public
p'.nco to refuse to nervo anyone as
long as ho acted tho gontloiuan with
out bavins up a sign "No colored
trado solicited"? Ho said no, ho had
to hnvo up this sign. So I think tho
peoplu of Mcdford need moro knowl
edg ot tho law. 1 will probably havo
tho matter investigated yot. I havo
got to meet my brother In San Fran
cisco on July 4, and may call back
at Mcdford on a later dnto and see
what kind ot law thoy nro having

ently from an affection of tho lungs
ami the bronchial tubus. Up to the
time ho became ill, about three weeks
ago, Wire was in perfect health.
Thirty years ago Wire was em
ployed as a futm hand and one day
was struck by a stroke of lightning.
He soon became deaf. Ho wont to
many ear specialists, but none ol
them could relieve his deafness, So
ho resigned himself to his fate and
learned tho deaf and dumb alphabet
By tho time lie reached tho letter
his deafness had disappeared, and
his hearing has been porfect since.
Then the insomnia began. Year af
ter year it increased, and for ten
yearn Wire suffered torments from
being unable to sleep. Hut, strange
ly, his health remained unimpaired.
His sleeping hours gtew shorter and
shorter, and again lie consulted
many specialists. Almost every phy
sician had a different theory about
what the electric stroke had done to
his system, but none could suggest a
cure.
Finally Wire learned to do without
any sleep. To rest his body hu would
lie for soveral hours on n couch, but
his oyes always remained wide open
and Ifis brain apparently always was
active, lie frankly told his friends
ol his affliction and several pliysi
eians who doubted his word put huu
to extreme tests. Those tests, how-
over, novor served to make the man
sleep.
Iwo nights ago, just boforo his
eyes closed for tho last' time, ho call
