Class Ad History
CCXXXIX-WINTER SELLING.
There is a knack in using The 'Missoulian class ad,
just as there is in using anything else to advantage.
Advertising at the right time is what counts most
effeotively. Here is a class ad which made a record
last week:
FOR 8ALE-MISCEILAN5OUS.
ONE DELIVERY 8.4EIGH, ONE BME
bobo No. 3. Must be sold at once:

bulldlng.
The advertiser placed this: little ad at the psycho
logical moment. When it appeared, sleighs were de
sirable; the man who had deliv/ry work to do was at
a disadvantage if he had no sl~ h. This little ad sold
the sleigh and the bobs in four days. It reached a
,arn who needed the articles. whdh it of.gtred for sale.
The man read the ad and boughtthe sielhas. The cost
was slight; only one cent a word. If the seller had
mngde personal search for a buyer he wotud .have spent
more time and more .money thn C he did wIh, third,.

Billings, Jan. 23.-(Hl.taetl.)--As it
protection to the orchardists of Moin

a protest against the enactientlit by

CRIM JOKE PLAYED
IN LOS ANGELES
BY BEACHEY
NERVY TRICK AVIATOR MAKES
MACHINE DROP SEVERAL
HUNDRED FEET.
Los Angeles, Jan. 23 -Lincoln
Tirachy, whose daring~ fats of flying
have lien the fenature of the Inter.
national aviation nimeet here, played a
rather ghastly joke today on a crowd
that was still on edge as a result nof
the tragic fate of young Ruth t.?lJd
Pagb yeitlfday afternnih. After se.V
eravy thrilling "death dips," attempted
emulation of which caused the sud
den end of Page's career, Ileachey
rose to an altitude of about 400 feet,
from which he made a sheer drop al
most perpendicularly and disappeared
in the gully where Arch Hoxsey fell
to his death a year ago.
From the grandstand and grounds it
appeared that Beachey had fallen and
when he did not reappear at the other
end of the hill more than a minute
later, automobilhes loaded with doctors,
mechanlilans ianl relporters dashed tit
the foot of the |ill. It was fully three
minultes Illter when Beachey reap
lrared at the north end of the colrRs,
flew past the grandstand and laugh
Ingly wavedi to the 'rnwd which had
experielnced all the thrills of witness
ing an aerial tragedy.
Althonigh the day was devoid of ac
cidents, If. Kearlney of Ft. Louis had
two narrw nesrupeis in the five-m'lo
handicap --first when his engine
stopped whilt "banking" and a moment
later when the "wash" from the pro
peller of a stationary monopllane al
most capsized his machine. On both
occas!ons IKearney righted his biplane
but was compelled to leave the course.
The Program.
Races, altitude flights and trick
flying made up the day's program.
TPhe figure-oight contest between Phil
O. Parmahe. and Lipcoln Beachey
furnished several intense moments.
Parmlnlleo won in the record time of
one minute, five and two-fifthp sec
onds for the three "eights." Reach
ey's time was onle minute, tlneand four
fifths seconds. l'.ir' also cap
tured the altitudlle hionIr for the day,
reaching a hilght of 7,,00 feet. Glenn
H. Martin's barogralph registered near

W. H. (Cooike of San Francisco re
mained in the air tiwo hours and 83
minutes and celnlbed 1,800 feet. Pas.
enger-currylng honors went to Parnum
Fish, the boy aviator, who was in the
air most of the afternoon taith a pas

flights.
The five-nmile handicap race, which
was flown in sections owing to the
numerous contestants, was twon by

ARE YOU
SQUARE?
T HIS is a fair question--Are you, Mr. Merchant,
playing fair in this home-industry business?
Are you accepting the benefit of the agitation in favor
of home-industry, as far as it applies to your own busi
ness, and then are you sending your printing out of
town? If you are doing this, you are not toting fair
and you know it. If you send out of town for your
printing, you do not deserve the patronage of your
neighbors in your own business. The Missoullan print
shop solicits your business. Your business is sought
for two resons; the first is that The Missoulian is a
home institution; the second is that The Missoulian
shop will give you'as finejob printing as you can get
in any printing shop in the country. Your trade is
not asked as a matter of charity but as a matter of
justice and right dealing. You'll get your money's
worth in the print ng that you get from The Missodi
lian and you'll help b st J home industry. Can you
thindtrof a single reasoW yhy you should not get your
printing done in The Missoulian shop?

Washington, Jan. 23.-Demnnding an
Invest'Ration into campaign expendi
turets in 1904 and 1908, Senator Cul

sweeping charges of corruption today
against the republican clulllllnatr fI

c'harged that foreign ambassadorships
Iwere hestOwed as a reward for campaign

former Pre'dent Ronoevelt had con
doned the use of money In politics.
Mr. (ulherson's address was made

Referring especially to the campaignl
or 190I, Mr. Culberson said that the
rntrlhitlons to the demooratic fund

I5,l00 na the rlargest, while those of
the republican fund were made by 12.
330 persons, with Qharles P. Taft.

i'andihate. at their head with a dona

'Amonr the contributors mentioned
were Ambassadors Reid and Keransa
and Minister Lars Anderson.
Mr. (ulberson referred to the fact
that (ceorge l. b Cortelyou in the 1904
campaign had held the position of
cha'rman of the republican national
committee, wt.lle he was secretary of
commerce and labor, and intlmnfed
that Mr. Cortelyou had taken advan

"It has been estimated," he said,
"that the enormous and unconscion
able suen of $11,000,000 was raised and
probably expended that year by the
committee of which tie was chairman.
The very alse and audacity of this
fund, if approximately correct, smacks
of extortion, profligacy and corruption.
