—Exchange.
Spent $5,000 In One Day.
One of the leading Minneapolis retail stores carried two full
page ads in each the Tribune
and Journal each day last week.
Those ads cost that store at
least $5,000. Does anyone suppose that firm would spend that
amount of money without
knowing that it would bring adequate returns? And that stfin
is only a small part of their
yearly advertising appropriation. The merchants in the
large cities have tested the value of newspaper advertising
and know it brings results. The
country paper is much more val-

From there they are driven to

Farmers Swindled.

local agents for an alleged stock
tonic company. Farmers who
consented to accept the agency
were required to sign a paper
which was represented to be a
contract. One of the farmers
who signed one of these supposed contracts was John Haas.
He now has been advised that
the supposed contract was in
reality a note for $65 and that
it  is  due.    The swindler, after
