PERSISTENT ADVERTISING PAYS
If there Is one enterprise on earth
that a emitter should leave entirely
alone, il is advertising. To make a
success of advertising one must be
prepared to stick like a barnacle on
a boat's bottom He should know be
fore he begins it that he must spend
money—lots of it. Somebody must
tell him that he ran not hope to reap
results commensurate with his expen
ditures early in the game. Advertis
ing doesn't jerk — it pulls! It begins
very gently at tirsi. but the pull is
steady. It increases day by day and
year by year until it exerts an irre
sistible power. —John Wanumaker.
If you could go with your news
paper ad into the hundreds of homes |
each day and see it do its work you |
would no longer doubt the value of
such publicity
The timid advertiser thinks only of|
the space ho buys, while in fact this
is not what he pays for at all Buying
newspaper space means buying an au
ilieme. Space is only the medium
through which he conveys an impres
sion of his goods and his store to pos
sible customers. Nothing more thor
oughly identifies a store with the sub
stantial interests of a town than per
sistent newspaper advertising. 11 is
a sign that the store invites inspec
tion.

is a sourd nigh resident of Alaska, hav
ing joined in the stampede to the
Noun* country in 1‘-*uu and having lived
in the territory since that time, save
for a year or two passed in his home
slate of Montana. He enjoys a wide
acquaintance throughout Alaska, and
to know him is to like him Although
a tnan of education and culture, there
are no frills or superior airs about
him.
Hailing from a frontier slate, he
soon adapted himself to the life In
Alaska, where a man is measured by
his attributes of manhood rather than
by (he clothes he wears or by his own
estimate of himself
Mr Galen Is not only an old-time
resident of Alaska, hut he won his

miner, and Is concerned in copper
properties in the Copper river valley

transfer business of Captain A K
laithrop at Cordova, and is now ap
plying himself to this business.
It is a pleasure to say a few words
of commendation In favor of this ster

cause we can say them in all sincerity
and truth - Anchorage Times.

Tripping the Light Fantastic Is Called
“Hugging Set to Music”
Br BILLY SUNDAY
Dances are simply hugging set to music. Cards
are the tools of the gamblers—the only thing more
crooked is horseracing. Not all theater plays are im
moral, hut the few exceptions only prove the danger
of most of them.
If the dance is only a matter of exercise and grace
and makes no appeal to the passions, try to have the
men dance together, and the women dance together.
It would kill the dance in two weeks.
Card playing and dancing arc greater enemies to
the spiritual life of the church than the saloon. Not
that they arc worse than the saloon, but they damage the spiritual life
of the church more. I do not condemn the theater as an institution. It
has noble people in it, like Maude Adams, the late Joe Jefferson, David
Warfield and others, but it is run for the purpose of amusement and not
for instruction. ■
When it presents a story of a harlot, why that story is told to enter
tain the people in the audience, not to elevate their souls. It is not to
point out the pitfalls for the unwary feet.
As for drinking, that gnng is not satisfied with damaging our men
and debauching our boys, but the dirty, stinking whisky business is damn
ing and debauching our women. A few years ago you couldn’t find a
decent woman drinking or smoking—now go around to our hotels!
It is estimated that there are some five hundred thousand fallen
women in this country. Of that number 3'5,000 attribute their fall as
a result of the dance.
