OUIl GREAT WAH FLEET REVIEW 2O.00O Jackies Aboard 102 Wnr Vos s sols at New York. New York, Oct. 29.--New York has prepared to entertain for three days this week 20,000 blue jackets on 102 war vessels of thc Atlantic Fleet) ordered hither for participa tion in the most ambit ous mobiliza tion of lighting craft undertaken in this country. The licet will be re viewed by President Taft. In com mand of Hoar Admiral Hugo Oster haus, all thc available ships of the Atlantic squadron began steaming toward New York harbor last week, and twenty-four vessels of the Pacfic squadron are due at Los Angeles for the west coast naval demonstration there. One hundred and twenty-six in all, they will romain at anchor trom to-day until Thursday. There will ho two nights of Illumination, and Jack ashore will have perhaps the greatest land ide of his caroer. i The number of men due at New York alone surpasses the strength of Shat ter's army in Cuba, but even then lt is the opinion lu navy circles that some of the vessels will be short handed. It is hoped, however, by emergency method to meet domauds. Arrangements here call for five, and perhaps seven, miles ot Ships, great and small, forming four lines In tho Hudson Uiver from West Fifty-seventh street to Fort Washing ton, or above. The battleships will be 400 yards tipari, destroyers 300, smaller torpedo boats and other craft 200. In order that they may I be displayed to the best advantage it was arranged to have the subma- i j rlnes anchored nearest Ibo New York shore. Next in line come tho battle ships anti, in the third and fourth columns, nearest New dorsey, the de stroyers and torpedo boats. This long line of 102 vessels, twen ty-four of them battleships, compris ing the flower pf tho Atlantic fleet, will have an aggregate ton nage of 577,285, and off Los Angeles the twenty-lour warships will have a tonnage of 693,530. Titus, us a na tional naval display, 'he mobiliza tion will surpass the German review at Kiel ill September; will outweigh the French display at Toulon last month, and will rank second only to the great army of fighting ships which assembled in the Solent on Juno 21 during the coronation of George V of longland. On that occa sion there was a display of 1(57 Brit ish warships and eighteen foreign vessels, and the aggregate tonnage of British vessels alone was more than a million. - FUND OF $25,000 FOR FURMAN.

BUSINESS HY DUNDAS I Advertising Manager of the C. 1 ..?'- CC ZIMKO - .r v ' ' CHU / . Persistent Advertising Brings Busi ness Success. If the money that ls spent every year hy "occasional" advertisers were added up it would he found to amount to a large sum. By "oc casional" advertising I mean the us ing of space at irregular periods in your neswspaper. Local publicity is often done tills way under the excuse Of helping the paper, hut the real reason, if the advertiser could be got lo admit It, is that he is half-hearted about the matter. He partly looks upon advertising as a luxury anyhow, and so curtails lils expenditure on it to the lowest limit. Although the retailer may regard publicity as a luxury, it yet seems to be a dream on his part that ono day ho will malte some real success and a handsome fortune through advertis ing. Indeed, down dee]) In all re tailers' hearts ls a feeling that money can positively be made through ad vertising. They know that huge fortunes have been and aro being pil ed up by retail merchants with the aid of this limitless force, and they secretly hope that one; day they also may strike the royal road to success. If they but knew it that road Hes straight and plain before every re tailer In the country if he would only open his eyes to see lt. John Wanamaker, the great New York and Philadelphia retail mer chant, on one occasion said: "Ad vertising doesn't jerk; it pulls." It begins very gently at first, but tho pull is steady, lt is likened to a team pulling a heavy load. A thou ? nd spasmodic, jerky pulls will not [budge that load, while pne^hall! thc. ?toreo 'II steady ?O?tOi ' ?.Iii ?tart ni.d I 1 kooli it moving. I Here is thc s??utlo?i <u H rUt ts holli ' .?-.steady etv?ri. The merchant who I I uses uew?papei space 'occasional!) { is simply wasting his efforts. lt is the steady pounding-and pounding again-that makes success in adver tising as in everything else. All ad vertising is good in proportionate de gree to how lt Is done, and even oc casional advertising has some value, but to be successful to the point of permanently increasing your bank ac count, ii must be done persistently and systematically. What would yee. say about a clerk in your store who waited on your customers for a day or (wo and then sat down to rest for a few more days, leaving the customers to attend to themselves? You know how long your business would last under such conditions. lt ls the same with newspaper advertising. Publicity in MISSOURI GRASSHOPPER YEAH. How tho Pest Interfered With Travel mid Ruined Business, (Kansas City Star.) Kansas has sometimes wished that sono of the other rightful heirs to unpleasant legacies would come for v/erd and claim their share of thc in heritance. Grasshoppers, for In stance, do not belong solely to Kan sas. .!. W. Wood recalls tho year that grasshoppers were distinctly a .Missouri pest. lt was In 1X7.r>, the year following t!:e blight Kansas suf fered from the all-devouring hordes. Mr. Wood went, to Warrensburg that year. Tho track, laid on the surface, as the carly engineering placed it, mel many grades. Crass hoppers had taken the land. Every time a trrtln came to a slight grade it was necessary for tho passengers and train crew to get out of the train and t?ri.o the insects from tho right of way; crushed on the rails the track became too slick for the locomotive's progress. There was a cut through which the '!.:?.e!1: ;ias-ed near Warrensburg, and there, Mr. Wood recalls, was stationed a section gang with shovels scooping out tho wind rifts Of insects. There was mon? or less bravado In Hie offer a bank in Warrensburg made of $1 for every bushel of grasshoppers brought to the bank. Next day the bounty was reduced to 50 cents and the day alter the bank announced that lt was out of the mar ket for grasshoppers. The woolen goods house for which Mr. Wood traveled at tho time was dissatisfied with tho business he was doing in tho West and was prone to discredit, his account of the adverse conditions in Missouri and Kansas. Mr, Wood lilied a large packing box with dead grasshoppers and express ed to his firm In the Bast, His house said nothing more about thc lack of I trade in tho Weat. I BUILDING. IRNDERSON, . Zimmerman Co., Chicago, 111,. your newspaper is simply salesman ship on paper, and tho same rules apply to lt as apply to salesmanship in your store. Continuous effort and eternal polishing up of ideas and methods are necessary, to make suc cess either as a personal salesman In ? your store or as a salesman In your I newspaper. j You advertise to sell your goods and keep your name In front of tho I people. It is only reasonable to sup J pose that you will be better able todo this with persistent effort than with spasmodic attempts If you were to tell a man or woman dally about the quality and prices of your wares you would produce more effect than if you were to talk to him or her at un certain Intervals. The question of changing the salesmanship or "copy" in your ad vertising space ls an important ono. It acts this way. Suppose you had a pile of some special goods for sale. Suppose you were determined to sell I some of those goods to some particu lar customer. After you had asked that customer to buy those goods ' would you, the next time you ap proached her, use exactly the same language and arguments? You know you would not. You would hunt up new ideas to attract, her attention, new ways of convincing her and new methods to get her to buy. You must apply the same principles to your advertising. You must he con tinually hunting up ideas, new argu ments and new ways of attracting and holding attention. Salesman ship in newspaper space is just the sanie as salesmanship behind your counter. The trouble the ordinary store keeper ls up against ls securing this salesmanship on imper 1 have outlin ed. He can purchase advertising space readily enough and so long as he buys enough space for a long enough period to make a success)ul display he has done all that the suc cessful merchant can do In that re spect. Hut when lt. comes to lilli lg the space the question assumes a dif ferent shape. Advertisement constructing is a profession like medicine or law. When you are sick you go to a phy sician. When your business wahl toning up, why should you not go to a business doctor?-an advert?s!r. ?. expert? There ave on the marke] ri number of what are called syndicate advertising services. These can bo obtained for as low as one dollar per week. They give you precisely hie same service as ls given to depart ment stores and national advertisers by first-class Individual advertising I managers. These services are usu ally supplied In a series of fifty-two advertisements, one for each week In Hie year, log?iher with flf/ij two <.} poi'pla lc un ti of high' grade llufe.l j,lon.: di'u'Aii iii higlitsa?aried arti-ts.

The low price charged for these advertisements ls only made possible because of thousands of the same advertisement that are sold lo different merchants through out the country. Only one merchant in each town ls allowed to use tile service for his own trade. Particulars of the best of these syndicated advertising services may he had from the editor of The Keo wee Courier, and 1 earnestly advise you, as an up-to-date merchant, to gol thom at once. "The early bird catches the worm" ls a true saying and it is nowhere better exemplified than in tills case; the retailer who uses a service of this kind here now will start himself on a near-cut to independence and fortune. 21 Years for Kidnapping.
