for she was convinced that hercomparrhorr was a process server a young lawyer who had volunteered to see to it that her father got the papers which would require his appearance in an annoying lawsuit she reached forward and with prac ticed hand jerked the ignition key from its socket the car slowed down to a standstill he turned around smiling ndw little girl you must be good return that key or right here i must take it nwny from you by force and i almost think i would like to she clung to the key almost wish ing that he would try for the sake of experience of having him and yet an gry at

eyes caught the glint of a legallooking envelope and a wild plan leaped into being cautiously she drew out the envelope extracted the contents and replaced it and sat innocently back two at the same game she thought with delight once more he took his seat first glancing at the pocket to make sure his envelope was there and the event ful journey continued under the guidance of his capable hands

think by edsor r waite shawnee oklahoma j stackpole editorinchief of the harrisburg pa telegraph says long since the value of advertising was recognized in commercial and busi ness circles as a necessary asset of modern business practice on a certain trccasion i had a talk with the late john wanamak- er whose firm has spent millions of dollars in advertising and tried to elicit a state ment from liim as to how he proved the advertising of his outstanding firm well said he we make no effort to check up on any particular advertisement or series of advertisements we have dis covered however that when we cease ad vertising or limitit too much the results are at once apparent in our sales we believe that the newspaper is highly vahij able as an incentive to purchasing the various commodities and when it is drop ped for alleged economic reasons the effects are immediately noticeable in our stores there could be no higher testi mony to the value of advertising than this pf the great merchant prince who knew the game from the bottom up emerging from an unparalleled economic depression which has had some influence upon advertising i am persuad ed that the use of newspaper space by mer chants and others will contribute largely to a return to norfaial conditions of pros perity and business activity already in our own newspapers we find a disposition to return to those practices which have already been accepted as consistent with good business another thing which might be mentioned is the necessity for consistent advertising avoiding sporadic bursts of special sales which do not g reatly impress the shopper what we need today is return of faith in the country and in each other and this can be accomplished through intelligent advertising programs vvsii ffij a fih
