Why Kansas Thrives.
Governor Walter It. Stubs, of
Kansas, in a speech today "put his
foot 011 the necks" of those who
maintain that absolute prohibition
would bring commercial ruin to a
community, lie cited the experi
ence* of Kansas as showing how
state-wide prohibition precluded
"race suicide" and encouraged sav
ings bank accounts.
"Prohibition iu Kansas is not a
result of atmospheric conditions,"
said Governor Stubbs. "The clim
ate had nothing to do with it.
Reason was at the bottom of it all.
Asa result the Kansas people to
day are better fed, lietter clothed,
have liner homes, larger families
and bigger bank accounts."

Every advertisement that goes into a newspaper ought to contain some
definite information.
People are hungry for knowledge. It is an inquisitive age. The advertiser who
supplies the most pertinent information will get the most trade, other things being
equal. Every advertisement should tell the why of something. If a price is low—

thinks a little. The advertising of the futuro will always be so.
Advertisements are read more now than ten years ago, because they are more
readable. The advertisements of many stores coutaiu as fine writing and is as
intensely entertaining as any other column
Advertising is becoming more and more
honest every day. It pays better every day. r S9&.
When people really understand that adver-
