For example: , LOST-BLUE BEIJGE SUIT JACKET on river road, Orchard Homes; re ward. Phone 1711 Red, Mr., Wood bury. This little ad was printed one time and- on the day it was published the lost coat was returned to its own er. Fifteen cents was the cost of the ad and the sav ing in time was worth a great deal; to say nothing of the worry which was pfrvented. , The person who read the ad received the reward; that paid him for Indulgence in the habit of reading 'The Mlssoulian's.' classified page. The person who lost the coat got her property back at slight cost which emhvlMszed the benefit, of that phase of the habit; The class a4 costs one cent a word./ If you're out of work and want a job, The Mlssoulianwill print your ad for nothing.

The resolutions followed a day ^' La Follette enthusiasm in which his name was applauded as often as iimen tioned by it dozen speakers.
