The remarkable showing by the
Dew commissioners in the saving
Df $100,000 in the cost of the con
duct of county affairs for one year
Is a glowing tribute to the idea of

people a sthough one were caring

The new commissioners have
pruned county expenses on every

running smoothly and in fairly
good shape, with the possible ex

which Is still costing more than
the commissioners think it should,

ADVERTISED A WEEK; HAD TO LET UP
•TT I BECAUSE BUSINESS GREW TOO FAST
' LOUISVILLE, Aug. 30.—Advertising in all its phases, both in <
• relation to the newspapers and magazines having space to sell <
■ and the business interests of the country which spend millions <
•of dollars in advertising their wares, was discussed during the <
• f»ftn annual session of the Associated Advertising clubs of <
• America, which was opened here last Wednesday. All of the «
• large cities of the country having advertising clubs are repre- •
• sented in the convention. ' ,
One of the most interesting features of the session were the <
• addresses by great advertisers who have made fortunes through <
■ the magic of printer s ink. One of these is Prank Van Camp, of <
> Indianapolis, who spends two million dollars a year to adver- •
• use his milk, beans and other food products. <
• In telling of what advertising has done for him, Van Camp <
cites this Instance: "I made arrangements to spend $100,000 in <
one week in Greater New York alone, and before tne week was <
over I had to cut out advertising and give day-and-night orders <
•to my factories." ,
That is why Van Camp is qualified to speak on "Advertising, <
What It Is and Its Effect on the Consumer." <
Hugh Chalmers was getting $72,000 a year as advertising <
and sales manager of the National Cash Register company, when «
he left that job to *-* 'he presidency of the Chalmers-Detroit <
Company. ,
,"I didn't know a; lng about automobiles, but I did know <
something about arising," explained Chalmers, naively. <
He developed an . for a new type of car, spent the modest <
sum of $28,000 in a «ieek to let the country know about It— <
and sold 984 machines as a result. What i.c thinks of advertis- <
lng will be told under the title, "Advertising and Salesmarishlp." <
FEW SEAMS, FEW
BUTTONS ON NEW
SCHOOL FROCKS
Girls Hereafter Are to Wear
Wash Dresses All the
Year Round.
The fewest seams possible, the
smallest number of buttons, and
the scantest allowance of trimming
are the points which distinguish
the most fashionable frocks for
small school girls.
From descriptions, such little
garments seem too plain for chil
dren, but there Is a novelty of cut
which gives a distinction of style
they have seldom had.
The fashion of keeping school
girls In wash dresses the year
around is increasing. Scientifically
Informed mothers who know some
thing of germs and contagion en
cot ra£» the custom. To furnish the
additional warmth necessary in
cojtl weather, these mothers pro
vide various weights of under
clothing, (preferably the union suit
and the princess skirt of wool.
The heavier wash goods, In me
dium and dark colors, made after
simple patterns, enable her to pro
vide frocks enough to keep her
daughter In that state of freshness
which Is a little child's first right.
One of the latest and most pop
ular models for school girls Is the
middy blouse, which slips on over
the head and is worn loose outside
of the plainted skirt. Both the
fashionably and the economically
Inclined favor this pattern. The
regulation middy is of white duck

150 GOOD JURORS
Deputies from the sheriffs office
are busy summoning 150 jurors for
the September term of court. This
jury was drawn under the new sys
tem, providing for the division of
the county into districts. The
names are taken from the tax du
plicates and in this way a number
of names have been drawn that
will not be available for service.
In the total 150 drawn probably 100
will be held for jury service.
Judge Webster said today that
there was no use in asking him
for exemption from Jury service on
the September panel. Only valid
excuses will be accepted, he said,
as the court with five judges at
work will need every man availa
ble for jury service.
Among those that have already
been excused are the new post
master, W. P. Edris, who takes of
